RE: [xl7] Re: New Andre Wishlist (+ a feasible way to write trax?)

2002-05-15 by Andre Lewis

Ok, Here's my addition to the wishlist:  A pause button enhancement, and some
other stuff:

1)  The pause button should cause your girlfriend to suddenly get preoccupied in
a surprise marathon of her favorite TV series with NO COMMERCIALS!  I'd say
about twenty hours ought to do it.  It should also deliver fine French dinners
to her.  Barring this it should pop you and your gear into an alternate universe
where you can secretly work for days on end without keeping anything tidy and
still pop back in mid nag.

2) There should definitely be a Barry White mode where the audio waves modulate
our voices perfectly to sound like Barry White whenever we get in trouble for
not coming to bed early enough.  Also good for bachelors.

3) There should be an auto patch mode where you hit a button and the Command
Stations actually rewires your whole studio, including putting up foam
treatments and placing your monitors correctly.

4) The Command Stations should have a button that neutralizes gear lust, or if
it can't do that it should apply for a credit card and purchase the suddenly
extremely necessary piece of gear.

5) There should be an option where the Command Stations make you smarter, so
when someone asks what inspired you to write your track you can state how Niche
was the primary influence, however you have taken glib nods towards the Monkeys,
the Beatles and William Shatner and added a diatribe with the compositional
styles of Bach and Puff Daddy.

6) There should be a beer slipcover available, something with clips for the
sides and with splashguards for the keys.  It should also keep your beer cold,
but have autodetect temperature ranges for different kinds of beer, liqueurs,
what have you.

I think that's about it for now, I'm sure I'll think up some other stuff as soon
as I calm my girlfriend down or figure out how to sneak an extra 20 hours a day
into a 24 hour day.
