Still very true for the most part.

I agree.

I think I want this

This is how I feel inside when I look at you.

Dear Jaimark Ordana,
I have troubleshot ever possible situation you have listed.  I have optimized my system to your companies standards, and i still have this problem.  If you cannot help me, please give my case to someone who can, or tell me my interface is broken.  Tell me something that isn’t a form response that has nothing to do with my issue. 

You have provided the worst customer service i think I have ever received and I am never, ever, ever going to buy another M-Audio or Avid product again, because of you.  I look around this room, at all the M-Audio products I have, speakers, midi controllers, this interface that is giving me problems, and I want to sell them all, for fear that they will break and I will receive the kind of awful customer service assistance for those problems that i have received for this Firewire 410.  You have contributed to countless headaches, and stripped quite a bit of the joy out of creating music for me over the last month. 
I have nothing more to say other than I wish with every fiber of my soul that you will forward my issue to someone else in your company that can provide me with some sort of solution to my problem, no matter what it is.

The car had been idling for about five minutes by the time I decided to go ahead and approach it. 

“Excuse me,” I said.  “If you’re trying to kill yourself, I think the car needs to be in a garage.”

“What?” he said.  “Jesus Christ man, I’m just waiting for someone.”

“Oh sorry.”

He started to roll up the window, but I put my arm in, blocking it.

“Well if you do decide to kill yourself, is it cool if I sit in the back seat?  I’m soooooooo bored!”

Meet my friend Nuno, click through to listen to his band, A Wilhelm Scream.

Sparklebuns:  AWS is one of the only punk bands still making fast, heavy, fun Punk music.  My friend Suman is friends with the singer. 

I need to pick up one of these… just in case.

Isn’t there some ironic tattoo site that this photo should be on?

Best video of the day.

This is god damn hilarious.  <3!!! Janet for sending me this. 

I have about had it with the constant failures by M-Audio.  Their products all seem to be at about dollar store quality, and when you try to get any support to fix them, they basically tell you to go fuck yourself.  I have two M-Audio midi controllers, one which is decent, and one that all but disintegrates when you pick it up. 

Another product that I have purchased from M-Audio is the Firewire 410 audio interface.  Its basically a way to connect your computer to everything else.  Speakers, keyboards, mics, etc.  It has been a pretty decent little trooper for me for the past year or so. 

The M-Audio Firewire 410

Lately it has been starting to give me trouble.  Sound goes out randomly.  I cannot tell if its something with my computer (because these companies can never seem to keep up with apple updates) or if its a problem with actual piece of hardware. 

So, i did what most people who know how to use the internet do, contacted customer support.  Well, M-Audio doesn’t have customer support any longer.  They now do their customer support through another company.  I have started to learn that this is becoming more and more common.  Its not that they outsource their support services, they just don’t do it at all. 

So I head over to Avid, who now handles support.  I sent a nice message through their contact form, explaining the problem, and filled out their form with all my computer and hardware specs.  I sent this on August 3rd.  That same day, I got an electronic response, saying my message has been received.  I got a response back on August 6th, a form response, which read:

“Most customers that have this problem have solved it trying these procedures.”  It then gives a link to their generic help page, which not only has no solutions to my problem, but doesn’t even list a problem similar to mine to begin with. 

We then go back and forth, I tell them that my problem is not solved, and I get another form response.  After my 4th form response, I get a message from Jaimark Ordana asking me about my computer and hardware specs.  After listing this information again, and waiting another couple of days, he sends me the same form response I got from my initial message. 

It is now August 20th, 17 full days after my first message, and I still have not resolved this problem.  I haven’t been able to have a dialogue with a real person, and I have not been able to find any solutions on the internet.  So I finally track down a general support page for Avid.  I notice there is a telephone support section.  I think I have just found the holy grail of customer support.  But before I do a celebration dance, i read this line:

“You may purchase Avid Support Codes for per incident support…”

Did I just read that correct?  I may purchase support?  Before I throw my piece of shit M-Audio product out the window out of pure frustration, I decide to just check on how much these support codes cost. 

I shit you not, you can purchase some phone time with people such as Jaimark Ordana for anywhere from $9.99 to $499.99. 

Are you serious?  500 US Dollars to get some customer support?  I am not lying, there link to the purchase page is right here. 

So, I don’t know what I am going to do.  I can purchase some phone time with someone who may or may not be able to fix my problem, or I can throw this p.o.s. out the window and buy an interface from another brand (which I cannot afford), or I can keep on using this product that only works about half the time, keeping my fingers crossed that eventually M-Audio and Avid will stop telling me to go fuck myself.
Stay tuned.  I might be posting a YouTube video in the near future, documenting the results of what happens when you empty a clip of 9mm bullets into one of the many fine products M-Audio has to offer. 

This is a good video.  And Cee-Lo kills it on this cover…

WANT!

It’s coming back.  It’s coming BACK!

If there’s a lesson to be learned from this musical performance-turned-semi-riot, perhaps it’s not to put B-list reality TV stars in front of rowdy juggalos. This weekend, reality TV star Tila Tequila was badly injured when she was attacked by fans at the “Gathering of the Juggalos” in rural Hardin County, Illinois, where she was performing alongside bands such as Insane Clown Posse and Kottonmouth Kings.

For those not well acquainted with Juggalos—fans of hardcore hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse, who regularly dress up in clown attire—they aren’t exactly a chill group. So, when Tequila got onstage and started performing, the reaction among those gathered was swift and brutal.

“I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, dudes were throwing huge stone rocks in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-o-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage,” Tequila told TMZ.

Tequila went on to explain that after a firecracker exploded near her, she was whisked offstage to the “shitty trailer.” However, that didn’t stop the juggalos. (According to a witness, the juggalos felt they were being taunted by the singer. “She didn’t understand the dynamic,” the witness said).  The juggalos surrounded her trailer “busting the windows.” “It was scary as hell!” Tequila said.

Tequila posted a Twitter message on Saturday saying she would sue the organizers of the festival, however an investigation is currently underway. Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner said it would be “very hard” to identify the attackers unless he can locate video of the incident.

Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, we’re thinking whoever booked Tequila for the festival probably isn’t having a good Monday.

Tina made me this.

haters gonna hate

I’d rather wear shape ups than listen to a lot of bands.  Manoverboard is probably one of them. 

Oh, have you heard of this guy 50 Tyson?

I can give good sex to you, cause I’m really good at sex.
