So, last night’s set on CiTR Radio‘s Live From Thunderbird Radio Hell went pretty well. I did have a couple of glitches. First, I was going to post one last “hey, tune in now” message with the above cell-cam shot of the set-up when the ol’ Crackberry decided to freeze […]

Been thinking for a while about what to do about stage lighting – sure, some venues have their own rigs, others just flood the stage with white light and that’s that. And others are not specifically music venues so the lighting is more a matter of overhead flourescents, always flattering. […]
Decided it would be fun for my upcoming sets to add a little percussion into the mix at points where I’m not playing synths. So, I brought in a few toys from home, including a vibraslap, my old tambourine, some shakers and other things. Forgot to bring in my cabasa […]
![Thermonuclear Something Or Other [Maqlu Remix]](https://maqlu.com/wp-content/themes/customizr/assets/front/img/thumb-standard-empty.png)
Funny, I was just thinking today about the practical applications of nuclear annihilation. Or was it a list of people I’d like to see vaporized by a neutron bomb? Anyway, noticed there is now an official upload of the remix I did for Virtual Terrorist of a song called “Thermonuclear […]
Note to self: you do not need the boxes, just the toys that were once in them. Spring cleaning has come to the synth cave.
Working on another demo, this one called “Persona Non Grata” unless I change my mind. Almost done, just needs some bass and final vocals.

So, I’ve got mood lighting going on at the synth cave with a bunch of LED xmas lights and a little disco ball, etc. I decided to add some more oomph by bringing some old small IKEA mirrors and hanging them up in random spots. I figured I could use […]
OK, technically it’s multi-level noisemakers. Getting the live set-up a little better organized. In other news, remixes now submitted for both Drowning Susan and c0ndu1t. Also back to working on demos for the new maQLu album. Check out this week’s edition of CiTR Weirdo Music on podcast, it’s got a […]
Words to live by. Boyd Rice and Death In June – “Get Used to Saying No” from the album Alarm Agents.
Was just chatting on Facebook about an old Cracked.com article on female revenge songs, and I mentioned about this gem not being on their radar. Figured I should post a YouTube link in case any of my friends weren’t familiar and lo and behold I found an actual music video […]
A little op-ed here. Y’all might wanna skip this if you drink the PC Kool-Aid. Found this little sign on the wall of the station I DJ at, urging DJs to play more “fem-con” [works by female artists] while also refraining from playing anything misogynistic, or if you’re going to […]
