I am so sorry that I seem to be absent as of late.

At first, 2008 was going to be a bang up year... I was thinking about pressing a CD (as well as the downloadable one) - I was going to get more creative musically (with a new program for music) and and work on the website. Sadly, the human behind this project got very overwhelmed with work and other aspects of his life that he just couldn't find time to even pick up a real instrument and play it - let alone try to orchestrate elaborate "Potter-centric remixings" of his favorite songs.

A small part of me feels like I have failed you all... I felt really horrible about not personally leaving a comment on the last 40 friends I have accepted. That was a part of the Dumbledork project that made me feel closer to you all. I would go and see what YOUR page was all about... and either leave a generic or personal comment... not doing that was actually crushing to me.

I know that this post is somewhat EMO sounding and all that - but I do feel horrible about not being able to find the time to work on stuff. Hopefully, I will be able to find some new time - as life has shifted a bit for me - and I will, hopefully, have some more time to work on sounds.

Anyway - I DO love you all and you are all my greatest inspirations. Keep spreading any word - linking me - friending me... etc. I promise to make some new music sometime soon.

Seems as if I am in a poll for the Wizarding Wireless Network band of the month. Go here and cast your vote for YOUR favorite band that they have listed. The poll is located in their books section.

I am having a tough time choosing... I will probably go with Knockturn... I like that guy. Although ALL of the bands are worthy of your vote.

*EDIT*

sorry, the links didn’t work the first time.

Hello all - as some of you may still be waiting on me to friend you - I want to take this moment to tell you that there is a reason why you are waiting.

I VISIT ALL OF MY FRIEND'S PAGES UPON FRIENDING!

I don't just click accept and try to rack up numbers. I care about you all and want to know who friends me. I may not always check up on you... but upon a new friendship - I want to see who you are. Also - I try to comment and say THANKS for being my friend and showing an interest in my music. Doing all of that takes a little time - and sadly, I don't have much free time lately.

I make this music for myself to enjoy - and hope that you will too - and I will always give you music for free. I don't want money or fame... I want people to listen to good music and be happy. Music has much more power than we will ever fully understand. I would feel like a criminal to charge you for that.

Anyway - I AM still alive and still working on new tunes. I always have SOMETHING in the works... it just takes a while to flesh it out.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to hit my main page (or supplemental pages) and click the DOWNLOAD link on ANY and ALL of the songs - add them to your iPod (or whatever MP3 player you may use) - listen to them. In return, all I want is your thanks - thank me for sharing my vision of sounds. That's ALL I want and ALL that I need.

I hope to flesh out a new song soon - keep on checking!

I love you all!

Testarossa Autodrive

GET AWAY FROM HER... YOU BITCH!!!

DO NOT CLICK THESE LINKS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED FOR HP AND THE DH!!!!!

Mind you - these are humorous spoilers that my friend Lepus found and posted in their blog.

Deathly Hallows comic number 1

Deathly Hallows comic number 2

Since no one was able to name the last batch of samples in my songs... here they are.

From His Ashes - Metallica - Anesthesia (pulling teeth)

Daft or Dangerous - Tones on Tail - Performance AND The Gap Band - You Dropped a Bomb on Me

Life Beyond the Veil - Tones on Tail - Movemet of Fear AND Egyptian Lover - Egypt Egypt

DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!

Deaths that pissed me off a bit -

Fred

Mad Eye

Dobby

Deaths I thought were a bit unnecessary -

Tonks

Remus

Now, I GET what she was trying to say in this book (and she has said it a bit before as well) - The deeds you are doing today may be distorted in the future. Also, you can never really "know" someone unless you have lived their life. Ron always thinks that Harry has this charmed/exciting life... but when he destroys the horcrux and falters before doing it... Harry keeps that part "secret" from Hermione. Ron gains an understanding that Harry's deeds do not always contain a "glory" aspect.

Blah blah -

A small bit of a cop out at the end, but all in all - I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

As to your prior deeds being distorted, I know this one all too well. The Headmaster is twice the age of his average listener. Life changes after high school. Some things stay exactly the same. Enjoy your life while you have it going on... always.

Things that bug me a bit...

BAD MYSPACE LAYOUTS!!!!

Check your HTML and make sure that someone can actually enjoy your page. Remember that some people out there still have their monitors set on 800 X 600 (not me... you crazy?). If it is impossible to navigate your myspace page... why do you even have one?

Grumble...

The Headmaster is not always jolly - ya know?

I'm not gay... but, I think this is TOTALLY FUCKING HOT!!!!

Of course, those who are friends with Coma Boy know that I like wearing suits.
