Dear devout Big Muff reader,

Yes, it’s true. I no longer have access to the internet. (FYI, a local Hospital lobby is the best place to use wifi.) However.. it does not mean that Big Muff is done. I will figure out a way to come back. I recently made a mix.. from the music that I got when I was in Brazil. I think some of you will enjoy it (and to the rest of you to hell with you then).

Mixcloud (lo quality) Bandcamp (hi quality)

You should listen to it, because it’s filled with love and magic. Lots of old goodies. Some Mutantes.. Some odd sounds.

I’m struggling to be able to make music so feel free to email me some support. If you feel like sending me a donation. Go to Bandcamp, and name your price.

Thanks in advance.

- Diego

My new solo project..

Last couple of weeks.. I’ve been locked up in my house playing like Orson Welles recording some stuff, and just decided to start up a new project. This song is just me in my bedroom. Playing with my voice and guitars and pedals and such.

I still am working with my regular bands Dopamine Flux, and The Subconscious Mind. This is just something new I’m playing around with.

I got 200 free downloads and 100 or so Tumblr friends. So if you like it go grab yourself a copy and tell somebody.

Tell me what you think?

Well.. it’s about damn time I put this together. Oh yeah, SO what I cheated and used Tumblr. It’s still fresh.

I also updated the FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, TWITTER, & SOUNDCLOUD.


Whew.. and now I rest.

I just realized there are absolutely no good pictures of me on the Internet. Truth is I don’t have a narcissistic bone in my body, but I guess I’m going to have to fix that.

So, friends if you’ve been following along this is me:

Where were we?

Ah yes… I was supposedly headed to South America.

Somehow ended up in Oakland… I guess that’s what I get for not looking at a map. Ended up taking photos Mexico vs. Paraguay Soccer match. Then I ended up wandering the Bart for an hour, before i realized how to get back to the Hotel. Great… Now, I’m sitting here next to some Large body of water. Who knows what it is? Who knows where I am really? Doesn’t even matter to me anymore really..

Anyways.. I can’t litter the sanctity of Big Muff with all this blahblahblah. So I decided to keep a Travel Journal.

CHEGA DE SAUDADE

…another pointless website from me to you dear internet.

“> Tomorrow morning I guess I’m flying to Lima Peru. Internet Access will be sort of spotty. So, if you don’t hear from me. Trust me, It’s probably for the better.

Sorry..

I know I’ve been slacking on my posting. Lots of shit to finish before my trip to South America. Trying to figure out a camera solution. Still haven’t sold a damn thing or my car yet. Oh well… I’ll figure something out.

*snapshot*

..so.. let’s see where we’re at.

Passport Check.

Working out & on a Diet Check. (4 hour body + Crossfit)

Paying Bills Check.

Finished Taxes Check.

New music projects Check.

Money in my pocket Check.


I figured out all this recent depression fueled insomnia can be ignored with enough whiskey and weed in my body. Well at least I get some sort of healthy sleep. Don’t judge me.

Right now I’m working on producing a House music supergroup. About to do my first Acoustic show without a band. Started up my own secret band. Don’t worry Dopamine fans.. I’m working that out too. I’ll maybe start up a Soundcloud or something. Need to get on the damn ball with that I guess.

I’ve been mostly playing Peter Parker at the newspaper lately. Since my homie Sergio got deported (safe travels wherever you are amigo). Working on my Snapshot skills. Hopefully I can figure out a camera situation before I leave the country.

This weekend I Dj’ed my friend Anisa’s sister’s Wedding party. I got to throw down some Motown & Bollywood heat.

I’m trying to make some cool contacts for my South America Trip. So I have places to stay. So I won’t be homeless. Wish me luck. I leave at the end of the month, and will be gone for hopefully a long time. Don’t worry though. As long as I can find some internet down there. All my communication with the outside world will still be done through this blog. Probably going to make a special journal and write more while I’m there.

Oh yeah.. I forgot to add I finally got to meetup and buy a drink for my dude Will Holland aka Quantic on Friday!!!

He absolutely murdered it at the Get Back, playing gem after gem I couldn’t recognize at all. I might take him up on that wonderful offer to come to Columbia. Let’s see where my finances are at the end of this month when I sell my Truck. Anybody got any Colombian friends you can hook me up with? I’d sure appreciate it.

Dopamine Flux - Halloween set

Been a while since I’ve posted anything about my band, truth is we haven’t been up to much.

My buddy Stefano, great kid barely 21, Long amazing dreadlocks. In a pinch last year he stepped in to help lay some bass for our Halloween gigs. I made him and the band learn 13 BBOY cover songs. These are songs he’s never heard before, but the boy came through. Stefano’s friends and familys also came through and recorded these great little videos for us

We had roughly a week to practice this set, and then 2 show dates. So.. it’s a little rough, but I am real proud of these videos. Wish we could’ve played these in front of more dancers. .

Nina Simone - Funkier Than a Mosquito’s Tweeter

Babe Ruth - The MEXICAN

A Certain Ratio - Do the Due

Eddie Kendricks - Walking in the rain

Lonnie Liston Smith - Expand your mind

Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers - Blow your Whistle

Jackson 5 - What you don’t know

Incredible Bongo Band - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

“I am truly a “lone traveler” and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart. In the face of all this, I have never lost a sense of distance and the need for solitude

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music…. I get most joy in life out of music.”

— Albert Einstein
