Digitizing Records
By Joy Lynn Clark 05/24/2024 While in between contracts mom introduces me to one of her friends in radio. He asked me all about my education and I mention all of my skillsets; especially audio. Her friend hires me to make cd copies of his vinyl. I take on the task and hook up mom’s old record player to my computer. The second I start ripping the first album, it becomes clear that I am going to have to mix and master this too. Her friend hadn’t offered me that much money. On top of that he brought me like, 10 records. I really wanted to impress this guy but…

Getting Schooled About Education
02/14/2024 By Joy Lynn Clark The year 2020 was one of the worst years of my life emotionally but was still full of hope and promise. As most families around the world, we were in our apartment due to quarantine. (The world braced itself as we all stayed in our homes due to the global flu pandemic). Like most families, we also decided to go back to homeschooling. Our school district rolled out a plan to educate the kids with a, “virtual” plan. On the other hand, since we had homeschooled in the past, we decided to just go back to how we used to study. As usual, we got…

Stupid 9/20 Update
By Joy Lynn Clark 6/15/2023 I’ve been working on this one for the past couple of weeks. I thought about calling this song, “Users” but I don’t like to be used. 6/25/23- I Almost forgot to mention, that I recorded this in my apartment. My home studio receives signals from a nearby airport, the bus stop, and a police station. The signal interference is massive however, all of the voices in the song are in fact mine. Those frequencies affect my DAW (Digital audio workstation). I also was super self-conscious about my hair so I decided on this look with my natural color. As far as the song, I shortened…

Dating This Guy is Not Working
March 27, 2023 By Joy Lynn Clark I have been online dating since it was invented. In my last post, (dating in the digital age) I’ve posted lots of tips for the online dating scene. Recently, I decided to try online dating again since I have been depressingly single. I meant another guy and he was cool. OK here comes the McMillan-esque getting-your-groove-back-part, he was younger. Not in age, I don’t think, but in lifestyle. I didn’t mind that he didn’t have a car or his own place. This guy has a full-time job so there’s plenty of money left to take me on dates (even with student loans ).…

Denominations – 12/27/24 Update
Joy Lynn Clark BMI 02/10/2023 I decided to combine Denominations and Don’t Turn Me Off. It sounds pretty cool. I delivered it to another track that I rearranged. It still needs mastering but it is aiigt to listen to. Man gon’ need some denominations Lets have sex on a boat Tied to the dock with a rope Or set sail and take a cruise Or we could f*&k in the sun And check out the views And watch you count them denominations And I might just jump off And we could probably stay out And float around I’m just a drop in the lake You can give and I’ll take…
