2011-12-15T13:22:00.003-05:00

So finally, after a couple years of having the page on standby, I've found the time to actually write the first post on my personal blog.

Feel free to come thru and comment, converse, critique, chastise, or whatever it is you good people do when reading the rantings of some anonymous stranger on the internet:

Change is good.

2011-09-03T02:48:00.000-04:00

Its good to be back folks. I wanted to start things off with a fresh redesign of the site and a trio of goodies from Gerhard Trede. I hope you're enjoying them.

Do you guys have any feedback for the new design? Let me know, any and all feedback or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

If there are any requests for specific Selected Sound LPs, post them and I'll do my best to get them up.

Thanks and enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!

p.s.- As part of the redesign, I put my Soundcloud player at the bottom of the page. I'll be posting up stuff on there periodically.

Back From Limbo

2011-08-30T13:17:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to thank everyone for sticking around and having patience with the blog. I know its sporadic but I haven't quit, just been really short on time to rip and upload the quality LPs you expect from Dusty Gems.

Rest assured, I have more Selected Sound pieces to come, all Bronze Covered Groovefests , so stay tuned for those and for info on some upcoming projects I'm working on.

Thanks again for sticking with me, I'll make it worth your while.

Peace!

Quick Rant

2009-12-05T14:12:00.000-05:00

Hey folks, just need to get something off my chest really quick.

Is it really that hard to upload in high quality mp3 format to a site that doesn't make you jump through hoops to download? Can we please put rapidshare to rest, along with all of this lossless, .cue, .bin, 240mb .flac file bullshit?

While I do realize that there are some among us that feel some elitist sense of pride by using some obscure, little-used format in the same way that Emo kids don't realize being different for the sake of being different is just as "phony" as the cool kids they like to make fun of, I have to say its a pain in the ass to spend time searching and downloading only to find out I can't use the files.

And yes, I know .flac isn't that obscure a format, but vs. mp3 or even .wav files it is, and the meager quality increase over mp3 isn't worth having to search for an hour for a program to burn the damn files only to realize you can't on a Mac unless you get a translator, THEN have to truncate all the individual song files, tag them, etc.

If I have offended you, please multiply the feeling times 10 and stop with the bullshit.

The End

That said, I've got some more SS nuggets coming up in the next week so stay tuned...

2009-06-29T12:13:00.000-04:00

I know it's been awhile but I'm back ya'll. From the death of my audio interface to the birth of my son, it's been a wild ride the last few months but things are finally settled enough to get back to some Dusty Gems business.

I moved everything over to mediafire and the new links are in the comments, plus I've got some new selected sound joints coming in a few days.

Thanks for sticking around folks.

Thanks...

2009-03-25T06:17:00.000-04:00

So far the response to the blog has been great, thanks for your comments and compliments everyone!

A big thanks to Paul for helping get the word out by making a Dusty Gems post on his stellar blog.

It's been a hectic week but I'm going to try to get some more stuff up in the next few days...maybe some choice Italian library nuggets...

Stay tuned.
