As someone that has owned a number of vintage tape decks, I was hesitant to buy this unit because of its hefty price tag, but after using it for a couple of months, I have been pleased with its performance. As a standalone CD/Tape player, this is an extremely well made unit and probably the best brand new CD/Tape deck you can buy in 2024 and would be an » Continue Reading
After buying both the CD and the cassette versions on this album, I hesitated to get the vinyl copy only because I hate when they put only three songs per side due to time restraints. (I really dislike getting up every 15 minutes to flip the record.) However, I finally pulled the trigger the last time I was at Target beca » Continue Reading
If you are a KISS fan and are on the fence about getting this box set, just go ahead and "pull the trigger"! I was hesitant to get this due to the hefty price ($300.00) but I was lucky enough to receive this as a Christmas present! It took me a while to take it all in, but here is my review. » Continue Reading
It's been about 9 months since I've joined SpaceHey and admittedly, I haven't really spent a lot of time on the site. One of the main reasons I joined is I really liked the retro Myspace vibe of the site and reminisced on how easy it was on the original Myspace to create a unique website to promote your music! For 2023, I've decided to update the name of the studio from Horny Corner to Catalina... » Continue Reading
I just recently went back to Los Angeles for the first time since the pandemic and met up with my friend and old bandmate Blake Stokes. We reminisced about old times and how we used to live in our rehearsal space and eat nothing but ramen noodles and hot dogs because we didn't have jobs and were pursuing the band full time. We had some great times together living the rock and roll dream! I may ... » Continue Reading
I know I'm still new to Spacehey, but one of the things I missed most about the original Myspace is the ability to write blogs. Facebook, Instagram, and all the other platforms out there could care less about being you being creative when it comes to writing. All they want to do is sell your personal data to advertisers for top dollar! Since I've been taking classes at Cal State Long Beach, I've... » Continue Reading
If you live in the LA/Orange County area, I highly recommend going to the Regency Theaters right by South Coast Plaza for Classic Film Nite! Tonight they are playing Back To The Future. I've seen so many awesome classics there, Dr. Strangelove, Star Trek II, Taxi Driver, Raiders of The Lost Ark, just to name a few. The manager's name is James. I like the fact he always does a short presentat... » Continue Reading
Below is a paper I wrote for an American Indian Studies class at California State University - Long Beach on the preservation of Native American Wax Cylinder Recordings. Preserving old audio recordings is something that I'm very interested in. If you are a nerd like me, I hope you enjoy! Voices in Wax – Th » Continue Reading
So, the Horny Corner Studios saga continues. Recently, I was assigned the task to put together a podcast in one of my Cal State - Long Beach Communications classes. We were told we could use any software we wanted, GarageBand, Audacity, Pro Tools, etc. Of course I decided to go against the grain and used my trusty cassette Portastudio. The final result is a little noisy, (thanks tape hiss), bu... » Continue Reading
I haven't had much time to record new material, so I thought I would post one of my old tracks. This is the band TEST. We played in Los Angeles from 2013-2018. Played a lot of cool shows in Echo Park/Silverlake/Hollywood. Abrasive post-punk. We did a couple of self released cassettes at the time. Enjoy the track! Will post more soon! Kind regards, The Capt. » Continue Reading
So, I've been playing around with my cassette Portastudio for about 4 months now and I've been fine tuning the recording process. However, I've been recording over old cassettes that are at least 7 to 8 years old. I honestly didn't hear too much of a decay in the sound, but I recently saw that TASCAM, the company that made the Portastudio, decided to reissue a special high bias Cobalt tape desig... » Continue Reading
