awwwww yeah! the magic eye! :idea: i have a pentron recorder from the 50's which still runs fine and has one of these "magic eye" tubes on the front. reminds me of pac-man... i use it for tape loops and distorted bass. kinda sounds like the bass sound on the monks "boys are boys and girls are choice...

i'll second having a grounded receptacle (outlet) installed on its own circuit to ensure that you and your equipment is protected in the event of a short circuit. also, just because an outlet has a three prong hole, DOESN'T mean that it's grounded. until you test it, you won't know for sure. i've do...

i'm a self-employed carpenter. this means small jobs and dabbling in plumbing/electric/roofing/ect... i do what i can to keep the paychecks coming in including turning water into wine and attending the occasional fish fry. my father used to have an incredibly well-trained golden retriever by the nam...

suicide commandos: "make a record" man these guys were tight! a great record that sounds like they're playing in your bedroom as you dance around... anything by operation ivy: it's not def leppard and yet i'm still dancing around.... how can this be!!?!? the fall: "totally wired" what are the two mo...

"A great "huge" sounding record is "Monuments To Theives" by the His Hero Is Gone a defunct hardcore band from Memphis on the Prank label." oh yeah! that first song "like weeds" is why i got into them! i think that "15 counts of arson" (the next lp) was even "larger" though. such cool bass sounds an...

i learned that there were a lot of other recording geeks out there. i learned that it's ok to be a recording geek even if none of the other recording geeks want to listen to your steely dan records... after i got the first issue, i called tape op to see if i could arrange an interview with don depew...

soundguy: i gotta tell ya, my interest has been piqued... consider sweet tea on the list, if it's anything like the stuff on fat possum, it'll be honest if not to your liking. i can't remember... there is one jr. kimbrough song that makes me cry... i think it's time to get my shit together. "I'm hap...

that leon redbone album: on the track. loved that since i was a kid, really open and loose. the live stuff is almost indistinguishable from the studio stuff and joe venuti on the violin is the shit! there are a couple of phoebe snow tracks which i can't remember the names of...

"The AKG C1000 I really feel to be one of the worst mics ever devised, do the world a favor and dont get one." mmmmm... i seem to remember andy hong recommending these for electric guitar where the midrange needed to shine... i've used one on the top and bottom head of a snare, overheads....it's a l...

wait.... i just thought of another odd drum sound: the exploited "don't forget the chaos" i don't know WHAT they did to the toms but it is REALLY silly. i think it's a heavy flange effect+wide stereo panning. i mean, the whole song is funny because it includes quite a few rock "cliche's" (long solo....

"not that that has anything to do with the unique drum sound:) " yer not kidding! i'm still not sure how the drummer DOES that...wheaties maybe? my old band played with them in amhearst, i think.. it was in an old hotel... i bought one of their 7" that night. i was BLOWN AWAY!

does anyone else own this album? christina files recorded most of it @ fort apache and it's been one of my favorites since '98 when it came out... the reason i'm posting about it is because it has an EXTREMELY unusual drum sound throughout.. the kick and snare are clear almost to the point of exagge...
