Hello Mark,

Thank you for the note. This means a lot to me. We are constantly tweaking and unfortunately not always right! Our goal was to minimize confusion some of the users had as they accidentally made changes without not knowing what's going on. We also had the issue of clutter. But all that said, we had many people writing us about this master level feature so as result, we have to listen and bring it back.

Thanks again for being so great and hope we can fulfill your creative journey. 

See you on Lightt!

Hi Alex,
I just started using Lightt a few days ago. I was falling in love with it. I thought what made your app unique was several different features, but Lightt possessed two new abilities heretofore unseen by me. The ability to switch between filters and between fx live while recording was something I had never done before. Once I realized this capability my mind was instantly inundated with a myriad of possible uses. The second feature I loved was the ability to manipulate the strength and quality of the fx while recording. The two sliders on the left while in landscape capture.  Lightt was the Rosetta Stone of iOS video apps for me. It made videography as improvisational as playing a solo in a jazz combo.
Now I can play the iPod camera like a trumpet?  Choosing different timbres or fx as I shoot? Or different filters on each at the same time? I was ready to walk the earth proclaiming Lightt as the new King of the iOS camera apps.
Alas, I updated Lightt the next morning. I Saw something about 'simpler capture' but didn't really comprehend and just tapped update...
To me, I only got to play on the Stradivarius violin for one day. Or  Imagine if immediately following Christmas morning was April 15. I realize I may seem a bit too involved, but this is my livelihood, one of my passions, and I will gladly pay for the older version 3.5.1. Is there anything you can do?
Thank you very much,

A Shot In The Dark For Lightt.

First, a little background. I love shooting and making videos with my Apple devices. When crafting these short films I use several different apps, oftentimes on a single video,  to produce the haphazard equanimity in virtue they possess. Last week I downloaded the iOS app Lightt for the first time. After using it for only a matter of hours I realized how truly groundbreaking of a video editing and creation app it was. Then the next morning an update for Lightt came out and destroyed 75% of what made Lightt great. Gone was the ability to switch between visual fx or filters on the fly. Other aspects of the app were severely watered down. Confused, saddened, and underslept, I tried emailing Lightt to figure out what had happened but the response I got was so simplistic I began to wonder if I had really used such an amazing app at all. In a last ditch effort to understand what was going on, I decided to email Lightt's CEO. Here is the email.

Not Any Easier Still Might Be Better Because...

This is not going to be easy. 


Now she knows I'm awake. 
I should record this.
Her.
Or just turn the music up.
Something I could tell her
That would blow her mind
Or her faith.
And then the cats would stay. 
But how quickly I forget
Nothing ever goes away.

Why bother being good? 
When bad is here to play. 
How quickly I forget
Nothing ever goes away

When home becomes a hindrance
And roots reveal decay.
Turn the other cheek I speak. 
But Blessings enfilade.

Well I'll go and tell 
her that she wasn't just.
Because I am the loss 
of a loss of all trust.

Screaming so much it 
breaks down the time. 
Stop trying to help 
I am up every 
damn time. 
Want to make sure that the cats-

You must've erased it already
United is the first time 
What she's ever sent me. 

But how quickly I forget. 
Nothing ever goes away.

Why bother with life?
When if it's here to stay-
How quickly We'll forget. 
Nothing ever goes away


For Me, Ma bon vivant piquant!

Sometimes It Snows In April.

It is April in Minneapolis. The sun is shining without a cloud in the sky. The temperature is 5 degrees fahrenheit. It is freezing. Its like the sun has reversed its natural function and is now sucking the heat from the earth instead of providing it. Its bright out. All the brighter to see your breath as it leaves your mouth and lungs and instantly frosts in the frigid air. Please Lord, you say, get me the heck out of Minnesota in April!  I cant even begin to imagine what January is like here!

And now please enjoy our Minneapolis Royalty Hisself's song 'Sometimes It Snows In April'.

Have I mentioned the Chica Chica Go Boom? Studios FB page?

No? Well here's a post from it.

Post by Chica Chica Go Boom? Studios.

You gotta watch the ending!

Quiz no man who is not yo man.

Did you really have the nerve to ask me Who and How For? 

Ok, here is your answer(s). 

Nunya. 

None. uh. ya. business. 

No really. How indeed! How is it even remotely tangential to your oeuvre to know WHO and HOW FOR?

     And what is 'how for?' even asking? I understand 'why come?' as an almost type of question, but your u-turn of a phrase 'how for?' gets my semiotics engine baffling. We'll have to come back to the latter half of your query later.  

    So instead let's push your 'Who' question of a premise a little further down the road. What if 'Who' is a someone you know? Does that create a mandate for snooping, simply because you are aware of their existence? OR, because of your mutual other awareness, do you now both share a bond in an expectation of privacy? It is almost exclusively a human quality, our fundamental choice whether or not we reveal any part of ourselves to one another, or many others. 

With me so far? 

No? 

Well too bad. Because now we have to ask; What if 'Who' is NOT someone that you know? Is their expectation of privacy with you, the unknown individual, diminished by a lack of personal familiarity? No, it is not. I posit that one's expectation of privacy from those they don't know is much stronger than with people they know. 

Why does your paltry 'want to know' complex tend to eclipse any sense of or respect for, a basic human decency? Could it be caused by modern society's over heightened appraisal of TMI in this modern age? Is it a matter of your own proprietary security? Or maybe it's just your big nose? Your big nose not belonging wherever you goes and sticks it?

You'll have to answer those last few Bon Mots on your own time...

Now it is time for your answer(s). 

The answer to Who is...

NUNYA!

And the answer to 'how for?' 

 Cuz 2+2. 

That's how for. 

626 Day Yay!!! FLOW LIKE THIS

Another Autorap Accident

This photo was on my fridge for 7 years, 3 moves, and 4 girlfriends.

I think I stopped really seeing this snapshot about 6 months after I had stuck it up on the refridge.  But when I came across it in a box the other day it totally hit me unawares. At first I was visually befuddled, confronting the Twin Towers laying casually in a shoebox. It felt disrespectful finding them there, like I just tossed them aside someways back. I set the picture on my dresser and continued at sorting shoebox detritus. But for the rest of the day I couldn't get World Trade Center images out of my head unless I went and stared at this photograph for awhile.
It's 13 years later.
It's still Love.
I think.

Artwork by C. Barrett

I Used 2 Loooooove The Strokes!

     No really. From 2001 until about 2007 I loved The Strokes unflinchingly. I Loved their albums. Loved their tones. Loved their hair and I Loved their attitude, or lack thereof. I loved their name. But Now? I'd like to blame their most recent, and perhaps final album, for my sense of unease bordering on Motherfucking Fear whenever I hear their name. Said album, 2013's comically and yet exactly aptly titled '80’s Comedown Machine' is not a great or even very good album, but it's also not the disaster most critics declared it to be. I like track 2 'All the Time' and the whole thing is barely 40 minutes long, which brings to mind the old aphorism oft repeated about Colorado weather and almost all Punk Rock songs. If you don't like the rain or that grating bass line?... just wait a minute. Things will change quickly.
     Ouch.
     So my closest male elder relative had a bad Monday last week. No make that a terribly bad Monday. He Suffered A... Hold on, He Endured? Or Had? Was attacked? No. He Was Stroked. He Maintained a Stroke? None of it sounds right because I'm still me and he is still mentally he, but this Stroke is our new normal. Our Monolith. But our Monolith didn't suddenly appear way out by Jupiter. It is right beside us, worming its way inside us, an unwanted Big Fucking Deal. Our Stroke Monolith. Ten days in, can I now consider it a Stroke of luck that he survived and wasn't just struck out?
     His was/is an atypical stroke, one caused by a hemmorage in the brain rather than a clot. Imagine, one moment is spent sitting in an overstuffed easychair, relaxing in the lobby of a client's building. Another moment, not so distinct or identifiable as the next moment, but a later moment, part of his right leg decides that now is the time to take up Astral Projection. With the brained, unseeable aspect of his right leg having jumped ship, his physical leg may as well belong to the overstuffed easychair in which he sits. Because he cannot get up! And the leg is no longer responsive to the millions of increasingly frantic signals his brain is firing off.
    And so this Stroke is a '70’s Comedown Machine'.  And it too is comically exactly, aptly titled. For this is his 70th year on earth, and I would not attempt a more perfect definition for a stroke than 'Comedown Machine'. The last ten days have been sneaky subtle. They have been slow to differentiate themselves in our new normal. I can't discern any change in his condition from a week ago. The Doctors will not operate and I will not pray.
    Ouch.
    But this morning? My father, who is nothing like Darth Vader, this morning my father used the Force. And he used Apple iMessage. But mainly he used the Force.



     Yep. Six inches of movement became monumental. Six inches was more magnificent than the breadth of the mighty Mississippi.

The kicker.
     When I received this video iMessage I was lollygagging in bed, listening to music, pretending to be getting ready for the train ride to visit him at the hospital. It wasn't until after I watched the video twice that I realized what I had just seen. The immutable was muted. The leg had returned, even if just for a six inch visit.  It took me another twenty seconds to bestir myself and realize what the ipod was playing on shuffle. It was the title track to The Strokes 2013 album '80's Comedown Machine'. Fuck it. I gotta keep loving The Strokes.

Google+ is Auto Awesome? Or: The Google plus plus pissed!

Ok so you hate google+. Well you don't hate it, you just don't use it very often. Like very often at all. More like, never at all. In fact, the only reason you have a google+ profile page is because google saddled your YouTube account with a linked google+ profile. A required google+ profile really. Bam! Just like that. 50 million more google+ profiles than there were the day before. Actually, it took a few months for google to flip all those Youtubers into nominal G-plussers too. But behold Wall Street, 50,000,000 new, verified, computer savvy, content providing, sharing, +1ing, social networking immigrants come to inhabit google+. 50 million goes a long ways towards making g+ More than just a weak FB done bitey style.

So you're saying to yourself, what do I care if I have a google+ profile? I'll never use it anyways...

Here's where the trouble starts. If your YouTube username was an alias, as countless millions were, your linked new google+ profile used a different name. Mainly your real life one. The name you may have provided google when they asked you to update your account info with your real identity in order to protect it. But that's not the half of it. A new YouTube channel is also created for you.  With the same name as your brand new google+ profile. Why? Because google is auto-awesome? 

So who are the plus plus pissed!?

Let's say there's a YouTube channel called 'titansibid' and you're a subscriber. But google knows John Tibidoe is the man who produces and films and uploads as 'titansibid' on YouTube. Google first creates a John Tibidoe google+ Profile page. It does this completely unsolicited by 'titansibid' of course. Next it creates the John Tibidoe YouTube channel.  Mind you, all of this is being done inside the 'titansibid' account. So the John Tibidoe YouTube channel becomes the primary channel and public YouTube face for John instead of 'titansibid'. When poor John signs into YouTube with the titansibid account login he has used for years, he finds himself being asked if he wants to keep the 'titansibid' name or just change over to use his real name for all of google. Google of course, wants him to drop titansibid. But why? Just to prop up google +? What if John wants to keep the titansibid channel and use the name everyone knows him by? Easy. Simply create another google+ profile with the 'titansibid' name. 

Confusing you I am? Imagine living through it. I'm still not sure why I have my real name on both sites since my gmail address reflects my original YouTube account/username. MazzyD626. But that's about to change. I'm cleaning up Google's mess. Sort of. But not right this second and maybe not even tomorrow either. But soon. Soon...

Google+ new 'Auto-Awesome' feature seen above.

(But only when viewed on google+) 

A positive outcome of the plus plus pissed! morass...

In a desperate attempt to get people talking on google+, 'twas decided that YouTube comments on videos would be google+ comments. For awhile posters were given the choice whether to post the comments to google+ At all with the caveat that coming soon! One could not comment without a google+ profile. This change did produce some good in/for humanity in the digital age. YouTube comments used to be... Well, let's call them childish. I am not trying to insult children with this comparison. They were worse than childish. The problem? Anyone could create a username and post virtually anonymously anywhere on the entire YouTube website. The comments were ignorant, willfully and gleefully so. They were hateful, racist and mysoginistic. They were unintelligent, random, and dangerous too... Scammers and thieves proliferated, along with get rich quick schemes...links to viruses, even praise for 3 doors down could be found! if one comment out of ten was actually germane to the video that was a very very good ratio. If a thing could be misspelled, grammar free, hateful, offensive and try to rob you, it would be the quintessential YouTube comment of before. But By requiring a google plus profile to comment, people could not remain anons and most of the anons didn't have any desire to post with a public face. it is a 180° change for the better, most visibly by reducing the sheer number of new comments by tenfold. So kudos on that big G...But enough for one day about google plus. I'm fixing it.

Broncos bucked up.
Rattled rangeless restless
For 24 days now.

Cowboys gone awry.
Drunk in their sheets.

Shooting out windows
Instead of black hats.
Divining honor in
Hoop skirts.
Belching sarsaparilla 
Soaked six shooters.

Go West young man?

No.

Sorry. 

Invest young man. 
Get blessed young man. 
Get dressed young man. 

Distressed ghost towns 
Remain inflections

Calico ribboned echoes 
of
Freedom's hyena laugh &
Liberty's lonesome howl.

A Friend of Mine

Do you remember our 41st president George W. Bush? How about his evil Henchman/Overlord Dick Cheney? Whether or not these names ring your bell, you mos def will not learn anything about them from watching this video. Except perhaps how to make 9th and 11th chords sound good on electric guitar. So this is another Freakboy #9 song. Freakboy #9 was my quasi waspy funk band from last century. The music still resonates! Meaning one can still hear it... But lemme know what y'all think!

Happy (real) New Year's Day!!!

Happy New Year everybody!

     But wait you say,  today is January 4th! Aren't you either a little late or extremely premature in wishing us all a Happy New Year? Well actually, I'm not. Today January 4th, is really January 1st.

     Little known fact: Our 21st President, Chester A. Arthur, was the man pulling the strings in this calendrical hoo-ha. Upon President Garfield's death from assassination the morning of September 19 1881, President Arthur declared three national days of mourning. They were to take place September 20, 21 and 22. There was only one problem. Arthur didn't take the oath of office until the mourning period ended on the evening of the 22nd. His advisers explained that because of the three day lapse in succession, our new President was not Chester A. Arthur. Instead our President was Flopsom Mollie, a notch eared terrier who was previously the Garfield family pet! Garfield, strange old biddy that he was, declared in his will that if no oath of office was taken to succeed him within 72 hours of his passing, the presidency would pass to flatulent old Flopsom Mollie... Constitution be damned! 

     Neither Congress nor the Court could figure a way out of this mess, and it soon began to set in that our great country was now 'one nation under dog'. And so for three dark days our Capital was at a standstill, with some members of the Whig party threatening to support President Flopsom Mollie's legislative agenda, such as it was... Which really wasn't much. 

     But thank the Heavens for Arthur's good sense! The night of the 24th he made a pre-executive decision that changed history forever. He summoned all the newspaper editors to the White House and prepared an official telegram to go out to the rest of the press. The official transcript to this telegram has sadly been lost to history, but suffice it to say that when America woke up the morning of September 25th and read their morning papers everything had changed. Arthur had ordered them to change the date back three days to September 22nd. Reprinting every bit of news exactly the same as they had three days prior but with one important change. They would include a story about President Arthur taking the oath of office the night before, the evening of September 21st. Thus invalidating Garfield's cruel whim of a will and making sure a white man was once again our President of these United States. So you see, when I say today is actually January 1st...

Oh shit. 

Nevermind. 

Fucking math! 

Again! 

Goddammit!!!

See today is really January 7th because Arthur went back three days...

Oh fuck it! 

Happy New Year!

Get in my Chevy girl... We goin to the drive-in!

Dos Elefantes

Dos elefantes fugarse.

En paralelo.

En paralelo.

Caminan juntos

Hablan juntos.

Siempre lado a lado.

Uno es dueño de amor verdadero.

La única derrota.

Y todavía se

Caminar juntos ellos

Hablar juntos.

En paralelo.

En paralelo.

A New Song+Video from MISTERDOCTER!

Ok, it's not a completely new song per se, but rather a repurpose sing. Close? It's a church  revival! Just using old vocal tracks from Mark and an ex-gal pal, instead of a midweek service in a tent...
Oh  never mind.... Just dig!
And Please enjoy:

A song from my old band Freakboy #9

Pretend its 1997 again and click...

Back From Philly  

Freak Boy #9 was a funk-rock band which was formed in 1994 in Denver by yours truly, Paul Preusser and Sean Straus. Over the years there were changes in the horn lineup, drummer, and bassist.

Freak Boy eventually had enough material for a couple albums and released two demo tapes. They played all over the Colorado region, including the legendary Herman’s Hideaway, among many other venues.

The band finally went on to other projects in 1997, but the music is still here for you to listen to and enjoy.
