Baby Heil.

I've been meaning to post this for a while - my baby Heil microphone. I have no idea what I'll ever do with this thing, but she sure is cute:

Liz Granite + Heil Microphones = True Love

Bottle of Red, Bottle of White...

Yeah, it's one of those nights. 

It finally felt like Fall today. I watched from the front window as the wind tore shards of brown paper "leaves" from the palm trees. Palm trees are a poor substitute for the majesty of oaks, maples, and birches, but hey, we do the best we can with what we have here.

I played around in photoshop and made a new layout for Breaker's Myspace page. Eight arms seemed appropriate for getting  more of what I want...The More I Want, The More I Get. Word.

Oooh - I got a new Heil! A tiny baby microphone. I've gotta' post pictures - it's sooo cute!

Alright, I need to polish off this bottle of white with a little "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen". Yeah, that's right, a little LiLo to cap off the night.

My Custom Heil PR-22 Microphone Has Arrived!

...and boy, is she beautiful. Behold, excalibur:The real fun will start when I hit the stage with this baby. Speaking of which, I am fiending, man! I am ready to get out of the studio and onto the stage. When Dean gets back from Warped Tour we'll continue auditions. I'm looking for the right people to bring this beast to life on stage. 

I'm really psyched about the quality - both sonic and visual - of this mic, and am already planning my next custom jobs. Get yer own Heil! Make some noise!

Now let us go in peace to love and serve the iguana...

Custom Heil Microphone on the Way!

Got word today from Bob Heil that my custom camouflage Heil PR-22 microphone has been shipped! She should be here in a couple days. The picture on the left is a stock PR-22; Mine will be a badass camo beast. I'd like to add a couple custom PR-35s to my arsenal as well - I'm thinking candy apple red and a Vegas-esque golden glitter. I'll post a pic of the new mic once it arrives.

This was my rebound mic after getting fed up with the thin sound and constant feedback of the Shure SM-58. I had to dump that bitch and get cozy with the clean, natural tone of the PR-22. Then the PR-35 ended up in my hands. "Could this be love?" I wondered. The thing cut through all the loud stage noise and delivered my voice in a clean, clear, and smooth style that left me screaming for more...literally. I love singing through that thing!

Anywho, I went with the PR-22 for my first custom mic. We'll see how she shows up and how she holds up.

Jeez...When did I become such a gear geek?
