James, Not Jim on Last.fm + TonePort

I set up a label page for James, Not Jim on Last.fm.  You can use it to stream and/or download tracks.  Think of it as a classier version of MySpace (where we also have a page, of course).

I've bought a new piece of recording gear this week:  a Line6 TonePort UX2.  It's an audio interface (to replace my old MidiMan AudioBuddy) which also comes with some great software called GearBox which allows me to record silently, via USB, rather than micing a cab.  Gearbox includes lots of amp and cab models from Line6's POD line.  I've spent the past two evenings dialing in sounds for my bass and guitar and testing how well it records with Ableton Live.  So far, I'm super-happy.  I bought this thing mainly so I could record in the middle of the night without bothering anyone, and I think it's going to be perfect for that.

So, hey, maybe I'll actually record some new music for you.  What do you think?
