Me & Olivia!

An amazing journey through hit after hit. Olivia wowed the sold out concert in Norman, Oklahoma on Wednesday night. Olivia’s voice was clear and in perfect form. I don’t think I have ever heard her sound so good. The light show was great. But the set list was even greater Olivia performed most of her hits plus added some album tracks that she has never performed live before. She also announced the upcoming release of her new Christmas CD with John Travolta titled “THIS CHRISTMAS” which is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released November 13. I waited after the show for almost two hours for ONJ to emerge from the back of the arena where her tour buses were waiting. She graciously stopped and signed autographs and took pictures with the many fans who were waiting for her. A perfect ending to a perfect night.

First, Thank You to everyone for your gargantuan outpouring of support and well wishes it has really meant a great deal to me. I wish I could respond to each and evryone of you with a big hug so I am send it to you now. Just a quick update on what is going on. I went to the doctore yesterday (Wednesday) and I was given my heart monitor which I will wear for the next 30 days. I will also have to go back to the doctor every Wednesday to have the batteries changed and the monitor info downloaded so that the cardio doctor can read it. That being said there may not be a post on Wednesdays for the next month. Today I was planning to return with a new post but have decided to rest while I adjust to my new fashion accessory lol.  I found it a bit difficult to sleep last night with my new friend attached to me so I’m a bit tired today. My plan is to rest another day or so and be beck to regular posting very soon.

Much love to all of you.

Well it’s been an interesting last couple of days. Starting on Monday, after I finished the Giorgio Moroder post, I felt a really hard fluttering in my chest, which lasted for about 10 seconds. Afterward I felt like I was going to faint, and then I felt unwell. I called my doctor and asked if I should be concerned and they advised me to go to the emergency room. I took their advice and went. Once I arrived, the doctors did several tests, blood work, x-ray, EKG. The latter test showed an abnormality and they decided to admit me into the hospital for overnight observation. On Tuesday I had to do a stress test and more blood work. Finally on Tuesday afternoon the doctors concluded that all of my tests were normal. I was discharged from the hospital. It was a pretty scary event, but I am happy that I am back home and it was not anything severe. I do however have to wear a heart monitor for the next 30 days. If this event happens again they will have it recorded. I am going to rest up today and I will have a new post for you on Thursday.

Cheers,

Paul

Unfortunately, it has been announced that Megaupload has been shut down permanently. This means that, there will no longer be a Megaupload link available on Multiupload. If you were using Megaupload you will have to choose another option instead. This has also caused some issues with Multiupload, which is currently under heavy load making it very difficult to upload/download files. With the shut down of Megaupload many of the other sites that Multiupload uses may become more strict and limit how long a file stays available. As you know Megaupload was one of the only sites that kept files available for an extended period. I am going to do my best to keep posts going but it may be tough. If you are a regular reader, I recommend you stay on top of things and get the files as soon as I post them because the availability window is going to be small.

Please bear with me as we go through this issue. I’m going to continue using Multiupload for now, and we’ll have to wait and see how these download servers adjust to the new changes. To keep on top of new posts, remember to subscribe to the blog, or follow me on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest updates.

Happy weekend everyone. As you may have noticed, over the last couple of posts there have been some changes. I decided to bring BTG to the next level and start offering 24 bit/96 kHz high resolution files. I already record everything in 32 Bit float. I decided since I already have high resolution, why not make it available to you as well. Not many blogs are doing this or even offering lossless. We are one of the first to do this, and other blogs have followed in BTG’s lead. The 24 bit files are much larger than the standard 16 bit FLAC and MP3 files, but the resolution is much better. Think of 24 bit audio as you would think of HD resolution on your TV; 24 bit is HD for your stereo. The larger files and longer download time should be worth waiting for if you are an audio geek like me. I have been toying with this idea for a long time. I have gotten many people asking for 24 bit/96 kHz resolution. So, I decided to go ahead and do it. I was originally going to wait until the start of the new year, but I am impatient. Also included in the 24 bit download is the lossless artwork @600 dpi png format. I did resize the images to 1250 pixels. The original image sizes are huge and would make the files even larger. As for past posts, I may go back over time and re-visit some of the older posts to add 24/96 links. Have a great weekend.
