I made a new favicon. Would someone like to make us a new logo? || The OneUps are going to into the studio to record Disc 1 of Volume 2 this weekend. Very sorry to report that not everything we had hoped to get on Volume 2 is going to make it due to circumstances beyond our control. The good news is, I catalogued all of The OneUps' music yesterday and we have 94 pieces in the folder. Wow... That's a lot of music! Here's hoping for many more albums. P.S. - Please someone with a lot of money step in and help us make this thing huge. luvubye. ~m June 12, 2008
Been a minute. Good news: Sixth Annual oneUp Studios BBQ happened and it was fun. Some people lived. Some people didn't. It was rad. Also, The OneUps recorded Disc 2 of the upcoming Volume 2 to be released on September 2, 2008. Disc 1 to be recorded shortly. Gonna be a helluva two-disc set. For those of you going to PAX, you'll be able to buy the album there before anyone - because it's our CD release party! Rest of yous will get it in the mail/online shortly after. I'm working on a solo album called The World Is Square to release hopefully around Christmas. Reckon you can guess what'll be on that album. Bad news: Not enough hours in the day. Can anyone fix this for me? ~m April 7, 2008
The OneUps Web site seems moot at this point, so we've done a redirect to the MySpace page. No real loss, though thanks to Mykola for the design. Also, The OneUps pretty much have their new set ready to perform. Some awesome arrangements and recording Disc 2 for Volume 2 takes place in a month! Get ready for the band to bring the radness. There will be a whole bunch of new show dates updated to the MySpace page soon. We're hoping to perform in a city near you. ~m February 12, 2008
Check out the new PayPal Widget OneUp Studios store. Good for quick purchase of The OneUps - Volume 1 and The OneUps T-Shirts - now in stock in Mens and Womens Tees. Give it a spin and let me know what you think of it. ~m December 1, 2007

The OneUps performed at the Penny Arcade eXpo (PAX) last weekend. The performance was a huge success bringing in all sorts of new fans. Here are links to several blogs and videos on the performance, including a link to Wil Wheaton's blog, whom claimed to "fail" by missing The OneUps' performance. August 7, 2007
Congrats to Greg, whose game placed in the Top 10 (see contest info below). If he makes at least the top 5 now, he'll pull down a grand! Sweet! July 15, 2007
The violin player in our band, Greg, has made a game and it's in a contest at Intel where he can win some big bucks. June 19, 2007
May 29, 2007Hope you all had a good Memorial Day weekend. Except those of you that went camping because camping is stupid. It's the closest thing to time travel. He look, ma, no technology! [shudders] Dale's out and about traveling the country doing cool things. He went to an Anime convention. I'm sure he'll have some cool stuff to talk about when he gets back. I spent the weekend throwing parties and eating other people's food. We're also getting ready for a private party this weekend. The OneUps will be performing at the Skiles wedding. It's going to be awesome. We're adding a new violinist. And yes, I have broken my No Girls rule - it's a girl. This band is just getting crazy. And if you haven't seen us yet - for shame... Check out the show dates on The OneUps' MySpace page. ~m May 22, 2007Well... Hmm. Been twenty days. I'm back from wherever I've been - space, girls, the bottom of a bottle of Jack Daniels. Business is comin' up. Our Fifth Annual OneUp Studios BBQ is coming up. If you're coming, I need you to read this post. Very important in making sure this thing kicks off right. Lotta good stuff coming up - mostly with The OneUps. Probably two live DVDs shooting in July, an EP coming soon, and more show dates as we continue to impress Fayetteville, Arkansas and the rest of the world via the Web. I'm having a hard time walking around now because I'm getting recognized by so many people who say, "Dude! I love your band!" And this is seriously coming from young, cute college girls, and as far away as old weird guys with mustaches who just show up at our shows and start dancing with said young college girls. It's good times for sure. People are really starting to freak out about this video game music. That's a good thing. Looking forward to celebrating that this year with you BBQ attendees. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go help Jared light these BBQ coals. We're having a mini-BBQ tonite because hey - that's how we roll. ~m May 2, 2007

Our friends at The Shizz could have the most important Internet thread ever. Click the pic to jump to salvation: ~m April 2, 2007 - April Fools
So April Fools was a HUGE success. It was good times. But I think the biggest joke was on General Veers: March 30, 2007 - Vote for The OneUpsThe OneUps are nominated for a NAMA Award for "Best Jam/Funk Band." This is pretty cool for us. So if you dig the band and think we're the best Jam/Funk Band ever, please take two minutes to vote for us. Here's the link: Vote Here! If you voted, you rock. If you didn't, you still rock. If you're a rock, you roll. ~m March 28, 2007 - Thanks, Tycho & Gabe!
March 26, 2007 - The OneUps? Live? At PAX?!? March 24, 2007 - www.TheOneUps.com Coming Soon So the band is getting its own site very soon. Hopefully this will help people distinguish the band from the label, which people can't seem to do very well. The OneUps are a band of nerds that play video game music. The leader of the band, Mustin, is co-founder and owner of OneUp Studios, which is a record label. The record label puts out albums of arranged music made by various people - sometimes involving people that are in The OneUps, like in the case of their own album, The OneUps Volume 1. This does not, however, lump them all together into one hateable catagory. Thus endeth the lesson. So, in other words - what did you do today? 'Cause I went to a scary place and saw this: March 23, 2007 - Game Music CentralI was talkin' to my buddy Gerard Marino, composer for God of War and its sequel, about some music stuff, and he did a little name dropping. Game Music Central, he says. I check it out. It's just a single page for now, but from what he tells me it sounds like it's going to be pretty cool. And the first thing planned is - well, I probably shouldn't say. Let me just say that I think it'll be... neat. ~m March 22, 2007 - The OneUps Volume Shipped I got in The OneUps Volume 1 yesterday. Spent a good while getting them shipped out to you. So they should be coming soon if you ordered one. Sorry about the wait on that - I didn't think it would take so long. But point is we have 'em in stock and you can get them in a timely matter now. And now? What is thy bidding my master? ~m March 20, 2007 - SnoCap StoreSo we have this SnoCap Store now. It's pretty neat. But someone in Canadia said that they couldn't download the tracks because they're not available to Canadian customers - can anyone confirm that? If so, that's pretty lame and I apologize. Still, being able to download any track you want from any of the OUS albums is pretty neat. You can check it out on our Store page. Also, here in a few days, I'll be making "Album" purchases available to you. This is something SnoCap didn't have before but now the user (me) can put the tracks into actual album bundles for you to buy. Sound good? I think so. ~m March 17, 2007 - We're BackYeah, we said we were done. Yeah, we closed up shop. But we let it fester and you smelled it and you wanted more. Big news coming soon from The OneUps along with more excitement. Poke around the site - things are a lot more streamlined and focused. We'll be changing up content and fixing the bugs for a few days. And check out our EPs page - 8BitMaximo has put together cover art for our EP releases and will continue to do so - two more are coming in the next couple of months and we're sure you're going to love them. Thanks for all of your support and welcome back to OneUp Studios.~m |
Things have been mucho busy this month. The Bad Dudes got their 
Fall is in the air. It's my and Dale's favourite time of year. And with Fall comes change. The once thriving, then defunct, and now thriving again OneUp Studios has seen a lot of change. Dale and I are still in the brainstorming stage, but we'll be making some more changes soon. The focus has definitely shifted to The OneUps. So we imagine OUS will become something quiet and scaled down. I'd like to bring my remixing entourage, The Bad Dudes into the fray for remix projects, which are pretty hot right now given the popularity of the recent FFVII arrangement project. The Bad Dudes have had something on the back burner for a while now - I hope we can motivate the boys to get their act together and finish it up, along with starting new projects (like an entire FFIV remake - anyone? anyone?). Also, there's
