Don’t forget to check out my Bandcamp page at http://www.godsowndj.bandcamp.com . You can see my journey from pretty wack beats to good sounding beats. I love making music and it’s my passion and joy in this lifetime. Please support by following my page and downloading my music if anything piques your fancy. Take care and GOD bless.

Happy Monday! It’s another beautiful day under the sun. We’re all going through some things, but I’d say be content in the knowledge that everything will be all right. Stay in faith of the power of GOD and just enjoy your life to the fullest. I’m still working on my beat tape and I recorded some lyrics on it last night. It was a lot of fun to do and I felt productive after completing it. I may have said this before, but its very important to have hobbies that make you feel productive and creative. A lot of these kids running the street or getting into trouble don’t have anything to do. They are bored with life and the idle mind is the devils workshop.

If you have children or are close to any children, do your best to help them keep their mind occupied with something positive and creative. Music, arts and crafts, model building, or a sport can all be good things that a child can get into and help them keep out of trouble. I have a step grandson that I wish lived closer so I could expose him to Djing and music at an early age and give him something to do with his mind instead of playing video games or watching TV. I hope my stepdaughter realizes how important that is and tries to give him some creative outlet to give him something to do with is free time.

I’m about to start working, but I’ll add some reviews of some new pickups I’ve gotten lately and talk about them in detail. Til next time…

I’d like to get one of the Roland Fantom-0 synths, but they are extremely expensive. They cost 1.5k to 2k. One day when money gets a bit better for me I’ll pick one up. Even though I don’t make music as a career, I would get my moneys worth from a device that costs that much because I would use it so much. I’ve used my MPC One and Roland 404 mk2 a ton, as well as my Pioneer DJM-S11. I have on synth, the Roland GAIA SH101, but the higher end Roland synths would be a lot of fun to own and get to use on a daily basis. A lot of people spend way more money than me on their music hobby. I’ve seen people in the Facebook MPC group that have like 4 or 5 synths/keyboards, drum pad machines, all types of rack mounted units for processing sound. A lot of them go really overboard. I guess if you don’t have kids and make decent money what else are you going to spend your money on besides your hobby which is usually a love of yours. My wife Laura likes to buy planners and arts and crafts supplies. That’s her vice and what she will spend a good amount of money on. I’m going to drop a few new reviews in the Reviews section and update the spirituality section pretty soon. I really need to buckle down and get this site up to snuff. I’ll work on it.. Til next time….
