Interview with VG musician Xoc

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Looking back, I probably wouldn’t have bought Xoc’s newest album, The Beginning of the End, if it had cost one dollar more. Not that I wasn’t interested… GameMusic4All’s description of the Sacramento based musician who performs live versions of video game sound tracks sounded enticing, but without as much as a single preview track, my [...]

We Like Chess from Karim Amara on Vimeo.
A few weeks ago Irina, AllAboutGeorge, and myself recorded individual verses for the WuChess Rap Contest. Shortly after, George laid down a beat and we re-recorded our vocals. Then we headed down to the big chess scene on Market Street and shot the video. Between takes I managed [...]

a few quick updates

Friday, January 18th, 2008

First off, check out the new favicon that my friend (and CDDM competitor) Antisocial made for me. A “favicon” is the little image that shows up in the left hand side of the url box, mine looks like one of the buttons on a Casio SK-5. Thanks Antisocial! If anyone else would like to make [...]
