Supah Akamai Travel Tips

Sleeping on the airplane is always a challenge for me. I am dependent on getting a window seat so I can sleep. Last night I caught the redeye to Nashville for the Summer NAMM show. My girlfriend was kind enough to let me have the window seat after I whined about all the meetings I will have to attend while she is sleeping in the hotel room. While trying to get comfortable, I came up with a killer idea that makes it so you don’t need a window seat (see pic)! All you need is a hoodie and an airplane pillow. I also rock the eyepatch, ear plugs, and noise cancelling headphones (by audio technica…my small sales pitch). I slept super well. This is better than putting your head on the window because your body isn’t torqued so hard one way the whole flight. It is also a lot better than one of those neck pillows because it keeps your neck more upright, and hey, if you have a hoodie already, it is free. Check out my pics from Summer Namm soon! I can’t wait to eat some BBQ!

Making beats is what got me started on running a musical instrument store.

It has frustrated me that the very thing that got me into this (making beats) is something I just don’t do anymore.  I was feeling pretty bored and tired of making beats until this new toy by Korg came along.  I am too busy and lazy to make beats, but this thing solves that problem.  You can chop up samples and sequence a song before you could even turn your computer and get a DAW up and running or load a sound set from an Akai MPC.
