Yeah!

I would like to re-record any of the jimi hendrix records (you pick which) without eddie kramer and Im guaranteeing better results. dave I am going to disagree here. The drums sound fucking huge on those records and compared to the pussy sounding drums on just about everything else from that time p...

I never liked the LET IT BE album either , because of the production, it always sounded to me like it was mixed inside a shoe box, the drums sound like they was recorded in a very small room ( I know they were not) and the entire mix sounds dry with bad ambiance. Actually some of the drums were rec...

The deal is this, I do believe that each succesive generation is less literate than the past. That is a fact, in the USA at least. We can blame mass media, shitty education, whatever. I do believe that lyrics have gotten worse over the past two decades. And let's be honest, most males do not get the...

Oh my head.

I thought the lyrics were better than average on that one. Maybe you didn't.

I have nothing to add except this is the best thread I have seen here and I will explain why. Most of what occurs on the internet is pretty useless. This thread however is very useful. The advice given here has been amazing. I hope our young friend here goes for it. Seriously. Love of recording is w...

Come on! "Anyday", "Tell the Truth", "Why Does Love Have to Be So Sad", "Thorn Tree in the Garden", "Bell Bottom Blues",, the whole thing kicks ass minus like 1 or 2 12-bar blues things that go on and on. Bobby Whitlock's organ and voice are incredible, Duane Allman....need I say more. Maybe it's n...

If you like smacked out pathetic rock stars it's heavenly. Three good songs and I am being generous here.
Yet another reason for the DKs to come into being.

stephen, you don't think people in the ray-gun 80s were astoundingly insular, rude, thoughtless, selfish and self involved? i would argue that they were. that's all... as for radio i like 'zlx ok. :D It got worse, much worse. It has to do with Reagan underfunding education. Now we have folks who th...

Hey it's your topic and your perogative.

the fact that you're listening to the radio could be the source of your problems. the radio is fucking depressing, especially in massachusetts... waaf anyone? *blarp* john No shit. "WAAF... We only stop the Nickleback once an hour." Pax, Steve I will say I'm starting to like WBCN. they seem to play...

Actually I over looked KC. Sorry. I will edify you now.His lyrics sucked. Don't mean to stick my neck into this crossfire, but I take exception to this pronouncement. His lyrics weren't the best, but they far from sucked. I think of them as almost surreal, which is why I like them. Plus, he sang/sc...
