The swinger

Wow, all of our enthusiasm about this blog died quickly. I found something that should entertain y'all for at least 5 minutes: the swinger. It's some python code that can take any song and transform it into a swing beat. I like the swing version of sweet child o' mine. I assume it transforms the first quarter note of a measure to a dotted quarter note and the next quarter node to an eighth note and so on repeating.

I also saw some live music for the first time in a while last night. Nina Nastasia played a nice little show in Reading. She has done a lot of recording work with Steve Albini. She also did a pretty cool album with the drummer from Dirty Three. I didn't think I'd like it, but she was very good live and an excellent guitar player.

Penny is going to be 3 soon. Hard to believe. Guess we should start looking into boarding schools. I hope all of the other Tonguesters are doing well, guys.
