(I really dislike getting up every 15 minutes to flip the record.) However, I finally pulled the trigger the last time I was at Target becaMon, 20 Feb 2023 22:25:29 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=584253https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=584253If you are a KISS fan and are on the fence about getting this box set, just go ahead and "pull the trigger"! I was hesitant to get this due to the hefty price ($300.00) but I was lucky enough to receive this as a Christmas present! It took me a while to take it all in, but here is my review.Mon, 06 Feb 2023 22:00:56 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=580405https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=580405It's been about 9 months since I've joined SpaceHey and admittedly, I haven't really spent a lot of time on the site.  One of the main reasons I joined is I really liked the retro Myspace vibe of the site and reminisced on how easy it was on the original Myspace to create a unique website to promote your music!   For 2023, I've decided to update the name of the studio from Horny Corner to Catalina...Fri, 03 Feb 2023 19:41:20 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=413290https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=413290Meat Grinder - ROUGH DEMO Track was recorded straight to cassetteMon, 16 May 2022 17:08:10 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=410964https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=410964I just recently went back to Los Angeles for the first time since the pandemic and met up with my friend and old bandmate Blake Stokes.  We reminisced about old times and how we used to live in our rehearsal space and eat nothing but ramen noodles and hot dogs because we didn't have jobs and were pursuing the band full time.  We had some great times together living the rock and roll dream!  I may ...Fri, 13 May 2022 16:35:12 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=410097https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=410097I know I'm still new to Spacehey, but one of the things I missed most about the original Myspace is the ability to write blogs.  Facebook, Instagram, and all the other platforms out there could care less about being you being creative when it comes to writing.  All they want to do is sell your personal data to advertisers for top dollar!

I love physical media!  LPs, cassettes, CDs, laserdiscs, VHS.  I literally have hundreds of these things and when I last moved I thought to myself, I need to use these everyday if I'm going to keep moving them around with, so every morning on the way to work I have a CD of the day that I pop in my car's CD player (I have a 2019 Honda Fit I bought because it was the last car on the...Fri, 15 Apr 2022 16:12:27 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=384075https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=384075Note from WAYNE MEZA - ENGINEER/PRODUCER -  HORNY CORNER STUDIOSThu, 14 Apr 2022 14:44:48 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=384055https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=384055Hello Everybody! I stumbled on this website when I was trying to resurect my original Myspace page and I must admit how refreshing it was to remember how much better social media was before Facebook fucked it all up!  I miss being able to write blogs and I hope this will allow me a space to put down my thoughts and not just simply provide fodder for some stupid advertisers!
