I started a blog for various reasons. The blog will be for Main Finger and personal use, but also for Noise and a Beat as well as Geoffio's solo work. Anywho, I'm still hard at work on the new album, in fact I just invested in some studio monitor headphones to help me do a more professional mix. They are really exposing the error of my mixes! I plan on posting things I wouldn't post on the main site like bits of random music that won't go on albums and even possibly some preview clips for albums. So visit the blog and stay tuned!

One of the users on the forum pointed out an interesting thing. It seems somebody found one of the "demo versions" of a Mode7 song on my soundclick site (that I often forget exists). They used my remix of Passion from Kingdom Hearts 2 and used it to make a Kingdom Hearts AMV. It's on youtube and you can find it here. Because there are so many comments asking for the song for download I am posting a link to the demo version here. Keep in mind that soon enough I will have a remastered final version of the track, in fact I have gotten requests to master this track next so you might hear the final sooner than you think! -mainfinger

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I have to delay the new album to Q1 2008. But I can assure you that it will be much better this way. I've been doing heavy researching on mixing to upgrade my sound to a much more professional level. The most prominent of my research has been the reading and note taking on the book "The Art of Mixing: Second Edition" by David Gibson. A good read! I am really working hard on remastering these tracks. Some of the older tracks especially are going through massive compositional changes for the better. It was my original goal to get this album done before 2008, but the things I am learning now will make it well worth the wait, I assure you! -mainfinger

I actually finished the final song for my new album, Mode 7! You know what that means? I can finally start the remaster/reworking of all the tracks on the album and actually release it. It's about time! You can see a tentative tracklist here, however this is NOT the order the songs will appear on the album, it is merely a list of tracks that will be on it. This is obviously the biggest news my site can have as the purpose of this site is to host my albums, but wait... there actually is more! Jonah aka "The Spambot" from Random Pirate Comics has recruited me so to speak, along with Geoffio (my partner in NAAB) for a podcast entitled "The Random Pirate Comics Show." There are currently 2 episodes and a third is on the way. If you want to hear us talk about videogames, bad cartoons and other things in that realm, you can download or stream them from talkshoe. -mainfinger

Ok, this isn't a terribly exciting update, but I added some banners to the links section of the site. There's three different sizes to choose from and the largest one has a 2 frame animation. All of them are in GIF format. So if you ever want to link to this site using a banner, you now have the means to do so. As far as the new album, I am saying the release date is Q4 2007. I know, we're already in Q4, basically I'm just saying I want to have this thing ready to release before 2008, otherwise it's just way too long of a wait. Good news regarding the new album, I'm actually having somebody work on coverart for it instead of throwing a photoshop filter of a google image search in the last 10 minutes. Also, I am planning on having some copies of the new album printed with cases and everything. I won't be selling them both because I don't have the rights to songs I've remixed and because I'm not interested in making money off of my music, but I just think it would be cool to do. All the tracks will still be available to download here on the site, but people who see me in person will just get a little bit extra. And just for good measure I'll leave you with another sneak peak of stuff in the works for Mode7 in a sleek little flash player. -mainfinger
