Personal favorite: ‘Grounds’ by %(aka ‘owner operator’)
There was a little fuzzy distortion at the crucial turnaround point in this song. I told Mike(%) about it, just to make sure it wasn’t something unintentional(as i myself wanted to hear it without any fuzz because that part is a very delicate/more-silent part), but he wrote back to me:
“re-listened to the called out part on grounds. the fuzz in grounds is intentional to an extent. i tend to let things like this slip by, as i prefer the imperfection of things fuzzing out a bit here and there… i feel theres a certain honesty to it if i let it slip by after ive listened to this track thousands of times. if you listen to my old tunes you’ll hear things like this.”
so i wrote back to him:
“Ok, no prob, Mike… just needed this answer to move ahead. Although I wish there wasn’t the crackle bleeding over into the calm part, I’m all about deferring to the artist’s preference and really like the philosophy of imperfection(honest/direct) behind it.”

Just to be honest, i still think i would’ve liked it better without it, but all of this is to say, despite these imperfections, perhaps moreso because of them, and the experience i had of making sure the artist was happy with his work, and then going with whatever they believed was best, and finally having it turn out to be my favorite song on the album… simply serves as more proof that it is such an amazing song!

But then, to have all the tracks on this album turn out so well(i’m even extremely happy with my own this time around , well… it’s been an amazing experience. Hope i can get the word out, distribute it well, get all these busy friends of mine to stop and take notice, maybe even support it by buying it so that i can get a good share to the artists, at least show them that i did my best to represent ….this album deserves the best of my attention. It certainly doesn’t stop here.

Douchebag 2 Cowardly 2 Show Face

Actually, not that awesome, because hacking wordpress sites, particularly ones like this one which generate next to no traffic, is a bit like taking candy from a baby. That baby being me! But I must say, knowing how little attention my site gets, I feel honored! Thank you for paying attention Draxiax crew!

These smart folks are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And I just want to say, it makes me proud. My fellow Hindi-speaking brothers have acquired quite a bit of esoteric knowledge which, after witnessing the wasteful meaningless frivolity of most of the web-developing yuppies here in the SanFrancisco Bay Area, makes me feel like the proper checks and balances are instituted in the world. It took me about 4 hours to restore my site and learn about creating special hidden files to safeguard my site, it wasn’t a big deal, just an annoyance at first. But after going through all of it, I feel strangely thankful. This information I learned is not important, nor fun, nor exciting, but why should I be on the web if I don’t know how to use it or protect myself from it? That is the important lesson I learned. Thanks Draxiax Crew!
