KORG Nano Series

While looking for a small midi keyboard to hook up with my laptop, I came across the Korg nano series. This series of a mini controls includes a nanoKEY, nanoPAD and nanoKONTROL. This allows for a great set including a keyboard, sample pad and mixer. The great thing also is that by buying more you can just simply expand what you have. The have a sleek slimline design which helps by not taking up too much room and being powered by USB means for less cables usage. For any amateur producer or for the cost effective live element, these seem like a win.

Don't you think it's funny.....

......when in the UK, we get a day of sunshine and all you seem to smell is the smoke of charcoal and burnt meat? Just a silly observation but while im sitting indoors, trying to keep cool with the windows, all I seem to smell is BBQ. The funny observations that we find in the UK.

Oh well, we have had three days of sunshine and I can imagine this is some sort of record for us in the UK to go more than two days with out grey cloud or a spot of rain. Anyway, saying this, the amount of BBQ's will double tomorrow with it being a Sunday and everyone thinking "well its sunny today, let have a BBQ tomorrow." Unfortunately the news is as expected. According to the BBC we have rain, HA!

Rant over.

Summer is here, meaning......

MUSIC FESTIVALS!!

Yes, music festival, something of a regular occurrence in the UK. each year we see more and more music festivals popping up all over the place. for 3 to 4 months of the year, there is not a weekend free of music festivals, whether they be day or full weekend. We all know about the bigger ones such as Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds and these require a good bit of planning in advance to make sure you take what you need and that you can even carry it. But there are also some great non-camping festivals such as Lovebox in London offering you the benefits such as cheaper tickets and cleaner surrounds.
