I really dig this. A bit of Priest-era Flaming Lips flavor, but still its own thing. I like the singer. Sounds like a fun band to be in. Cool sounds too.

I can think of alot of things in the last 20 years I'd rather listen to than that piece of shit. Just about any music with a sense of humor, and an absence of grandstanding morality. Just about any good old fashioned dirty, cynical, stuff your parents hate (rap, hardcore, etc). That guy's a farce w...

It seems like he's mostly talking, in that Dylan nonsense way, about the state of music's importance in relation to technology (his comment re: the "stature" of CD's. People love their iPod's more than they love the music on them. Also sounds like he has issues with the medium, not tech in the recor...

This thread hurts my brain.

Wow. There are some really brave commentators here standing up for what they believe in! Theft is wrong! Also: puppies are adorable, Osama Bin Laden is an asshole, and polar bears better learn how to swim! Now that we're done stating the obvious...Since software piracy has existed since the beginnin...

Yeah! Why can't people just stop stealing, killing people, fucking their best friend's wives, and being so goddamned lazy?! Or, why don't software companies stop treating their paying customers like criminals and accept the fact that a certain amount of theft (especially easy theft, especially easy ...

Wubbeneezer Garibaldi: Not offended at all. I appreciate the serious tips. Bass technique is a mystery for the ages, one of those magical touch things. I played bass in bands when I was a teenage punk, not exactly a learning experience (or was it?). These day, I only play when we write a bass part ...

That's some crazy shit, like Talking Heads for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

There's the problem.

Off that mic from your collection and your sounds will improve dramatically!

lol

Very helpful.

I threw down on a used SansAmp. That coupled with the micing advice will hopefully sort things out. I'll post the song when we're done (in, say, 2008).

This is all good stuff. Thanks very much. We've never tried filters before. We normally record the amp on a hardwood floor, so we should give the carpet/ raiser a try. We've tried the DI and amp routes separately, but I don't think we've mixed them together. Doubled, hard-panned DI sounds like the k...

I vote for Pig Lib by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, cartoony prog with killer guitar solos.

My collaborator and I have tried every motherfucking thing we can think of to get a decent, workable bass sound, but we never come up with anything that works. It's the usual story: The sound is always too boomy and (after a series of desperate EQ and compression tweaks) gets lost in the mix. Here's...

I don't know about virtuosity, but you should at least have mastery over something, even if it's being obnoxious. Not only are these guys pretty weak players , but their music doesn't really hit me in the gut. I actually thought some of their older stuff didn't sound all that bad, but maybe I've ju...

That' so weird. I had just read the story in Harper's, went to look up the author on the web, and found Inverse Room's site. I was like, "Hey I recognize that guy from TapeOp!" Awesome story!

That shit's busted. Buy a Tandy.
