Geeks

Wang Lee Hom dropped by the Living Room tonight for an interview with a reporter. It's private, no crazed fans, and we know each other, so I guess they felt comfortable here.
I hadn't seen him in years since I played a concert with him, but our conversation immediately turns to geek stuff.
"Check this out, I recorded this at home." His latest hip hop track is grooving along. The vocals sound expensive. Studio quality. He's proud. Sounds good.
"Paris or ProTools?"
"ProTools dude."
"What mic?"
"Manley Reference."
"So what's the Manley sound like? I haven't used it before."
"Like a Sony 800G."
"No shit? But you have some serious sheen to that. C'mon, what else is on that?"
"Ok ok, it's going through a Neve preamp, then into a Manley compressor, before the 8088."
"No wonder. I really like that sheen."
"Yeah, I recorded most of this in my apartment and in hotel rooms around China."
"No..."
"Yup, I got this little 2 octave keyboard and a pair of headphones. Fits in my backpack."
"Dude, you're such a geek."
"Absolutely."

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>

FINALLY! We have a name to go with that face. My friend saw this guy on some Taiwanese cable show we get here and positively drooled. I called him The Horse With No Name. We didn't know his name since we can't read Chinese if our life depended on it. I told my friend and sent her the URL. She almost passed out. Geez! Naturally, we don't know what he does but he seems to be in a lot of leather jackets. I dunno if that means something. :)
