It Was Twenty Years Ago Today

me

On this day in 2004, I wrote my very first blog post. It was a very simple post introducing myself to the world. I had no idea what I was going to do with this blog. I had vague notions I would use it to journal my year in France, but that was it. I certainly didn’t think I’d still be blogging two decades later.

What a long, strange trip it has been.

There have been many changes over those years. I’m certainly a different man than I was when I started writing The Midnight Cafe (which was called Brewster’s Millions way back then).

I had hoped to write something a little more celebratory. I had hoped to link to some of my favorite writings and shows. But the storm put enough trouble in my way to keep that from materializing (we have power now, but no internet – I’m using my phone’s wi-fi hotspot to write this). I may do a nostalgic tour when everything comes back.

I do want to say a great big thank you to all of those who have been around for a long time. No one was here from the beginning as I was too shy to tell anyone about it for a few weeks, and when I did start to open up about it only friends and family had access for a while.

People come and go from these things and while that is perfectly understandable, it is wonderful to see some of you coming back day after day, year after year. It is wonderful to see new faces, too. I’m really just surprised and amazed anyone comes around so thank you to all who do and for the support you have given this little site.

It has been a real treat and an honor to run The Midnight Cafe for these past twenty years, I hope I get to do it for twenty more.

PS: That top picture was taken not long after we moved to Strasbourg. The bottom one was taken a few minutes ago. What a difference twenty years makes!

me twenty years later

Oh The Wind and Rain

A massive thunderstorm rolled through my little town late Saturday night. It brought with it extremely high winds and tornadoes.

My family is safe. The storm blew over a tree in my backyard and smashed up my fence. Lots of shingles came off my roof.

Power has been down across the town including at my house. They originally said it might take a week to get power back but some places already have it. My parents got it back last night so we stayed with them.

I’m writing this on my phone. I’ll try to put some pictures up later. I won’t be able to do any real blogging until we have power.

Stay safe out there friends.

Syd / Pink Floyd OOPS (Out Of Phase Stereo) Mixes- These are fan-created remixes. These are NOT session outtakes. OOPS is a process by which a home user can remix a stereo track, thus revealing musical details that were less evident in the commercial mix. Depending on how the original track was put together, the differences may be subtle or dramatic, varying from song to song and in different parts of the song.

To better understand the OOPS effect, go here:
http://www.beatletracks.com/btoops.html

and then here:
http://www.beatletracks.com/btoops2.html

This CD consists of nearly every available stereo Pink Floyd track Syd is either on or ever been rumored to be on. We left off “See Saw” and “Jugband Blues” because they wouldn’t hold up to repeated listening. (“Jugband” whispers for most of the track, except for some of the Salvation Army band when the volume spikes. “See Saw” fades in and out with vocal and mellotron.)

This is the best of the Barrett solo material, as rendered into out-of-phase More tracks could be included, but the OOPS process didn’t yield a particularly interesting mix, and considerations of space won out.

It goes without saying that acoustic songs could not be used. With nothing to work with beyond a guitar and a vocal, OOPS is beside the point. By necessity, this disc features Syd with a band, or at least some overdubs.

(CDs 9-10 feature a few single-channel mixes left over from CD8, noted as such. These are not OOPS mixes, but feature one channel of the original panned to stereo. A few of these tracks are good enough to stand alone as such, and so we present them this way.)

Every OOPS and mono track in HYGIY 8-10 has been rendered as a dual-signal expansion: one channel is a mirror image of the other. For the listener, this means a richer soundfield and a more natural ambience than could be expected from pure mono, yet without any obvious attempt at a stereo result from a mono source.
