What are you listening to today?
Moderator: cgarges
This thread started yesterday, but what the hell!
Today, Windows Media Player decided it was Cure day. You know how sometimes you set it to shuffle through the whole collection (300+ hours) but somehow it plays the same band every other song? Today was the Cure.
Sometimes with all the makeup and silliness, I forget just how incredible this stuff is. There's some stuff in the Head on a Door/Japanese Whispers era that kind of freaks me out, but by far the majority of this is great from the basics song through arrangement to sounds, production values, even performance!

No takers on deciphering this guitar sound?
Here's my guess, single coils on guitar -> some sort of overdrive pedal -> wah -> some sort of chimy guitar amp with a spring reverb. Anybody think they know more/better what the key is?
I woke up this morning with the realization that spring reverb is probably involved somehow. I hardly ever use reverb on my guitar, so I don't really think about it much.Snarl 12/8 wrote:Rescue Me

Today's listening: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and the DVD commentary track which is 75% sung! Freaking awesome.

I'd say that the wah is modulating some filter before it; could just be from the distortion pedal, but mebbe a flanger or sompin' ...Snarl 12/8 wrote:No takers on deciphering this guitar sound?

Right this second I'm listening to:
Converge - No Heroes.
My first Converge CD, based on a friend's recommendation. Not sure how I feel about it yet. They kinda have that Mastodon thing happening, where there are some really great riffs happening, but as the album progresses, each song sort of just sounds like the one that preceded it.
Also, this dude has NO business singing. Ever. Screaming, yes. Singing, NO NO NO.
