Hey!

Hello internet person. This is my first post in this series of posts about my favorite music, tech in music I like and other cool things I find.

Actually I didn't start this blog on my own, the one that I did lays embarrassingly unforgotten. I started this blog because my college has a 'blogathon' thing going on and I thought it'd be fun to take part in one. It's going to go on for two weeks starting today, and you can find the link to register for it here.

Now that I've come clean with that, moving on to what I'm going to be writing about: I'm not sure about that yet, but hopefully I'll get some awesome content for you all to read. I'm definitely going to be writing about audio stuff that people are generally confused about, awesome tech being used by musicians everywhere, and definitely about awesome music.

So THERE. That's about the intro, if you guys are wondering about the weird name, it's because of this guy:

He's Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz from the brilliant Disney cartoon show Phineas and Ferb and each episode has him making something crazy like giant-robot-spider-inator and has his nemesis Perry the Platypus defeat him; And all his inventions are named that way as you can see, and that's the back story behind the name of the blog. 


PS: Speaking of back stories, Doofenshmirtz has a crazy back story, which is worth a mention: (stolen from the wikipedia article)

Backstories told by Doofenshmirtz often explain the reason for his evil schemes. As explained by his backstories, during his birth in his hometown of Gimmelshtump, Drusselstein, both of his parents neglected to show up, a recurring theme in other events in his life that left him to throw himself his own surprise parties. He was disowned by his parents and forced to live with ocelots, smelling so horrible due to the raw meat they ate, he had no friends and was forced to work in a carnival as the ball thrown at a dunking booth. In an episode called "Split Personality" Doofenshmirtz reveals to Perry that in Drusselstein the initiation to being welcomed and respected by your relatives was to prove your manhood by jumping from a swimming pool high dive over 155 feet high and anybody too scared to do it would be deemed as a "schnitzel" (wimp) and be held distant from their parents or relatives.
When he was finally taken back by his parents, they were stricken with poverty and had their lawn gnomes, used to ward off black magic in his village, repossessed. His father, in desperation, forced him to become the new lawn gnome 24 hours all day and night without being allowed to move in the slightest for any reason even to eat, study, leave or sleep and he was just like a standing security, statue of a person or a military guard but he was forced to suffer heat stroke, fever and malnutrition.

Brr.
