… the white zone is for the immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Listen Betty. Don’t start up with your “white zone” shit again.

Steve Lawson and Michael Manring are my two favorite bass loopers–they can do so much with so little–I am a huge fan of them both!

I linked to Imogen Heap’s “Just for Now,” which is entirely of looped samples. It’s interesting to watch how organized the whole process is.

No mention of Robert Fripp and Frippertronics? I’m a bit disappointed.

Howie Day may have some cheesy pop songs on his albums, but live he does entire songs on loops. Some pretty incredible examples can be found on youtube.

Butch Walker opened his Lollapalooza set this year with an awesome solo-loop song. At first, everyone thought he was just doing a sound check, but he kept at it, and pretty soon he had everyone’s attention. It was brilliant.
