I was listening to the Plastic Ono Band album today and most of the songs on that album seem too personal to cover, especially since most of the lyrics have John's name in them somewhere.

New Order-The Perfect Kiss

Although not the most exciting music video, they really were turning knobs on their sequencers and playing their keyboards.

I'm in an entirely different situation...my girlfriend and I work on music together and sometimes argue about the direction a song is going in, or how things are sitting in the mix. Actually, until I have the money for a 388, I'm using her gear to record!

I love ebay. Why not spend an extra $3915000 and buy this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=1607 I think missle silos would make great reverb chambers.

The DE7 is great for the money. Mine died a mysterious death, but I got a new one for $60.

For the past couple weeks I've been listening to nothing but Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper, and Air's Talkie Walkie. After listening to these, it's hard to listen to anything else.

NO vocoder used on the voices This isn't true. They actually use the Roland VP330 quite extensively, especially noticable on "Kelly Watch the Stars" and "Remember."

Now I'm modifying all of my equipment in search of my own tone. I replaced the pickups in the Squire with Fender Hot Noiseless pickups, and n...

Am I the only one who's happy where they are? I live in Appleton, WI, a town of only around 70,000 people. Basically, the only unified scene consists of hardcore/thrash groups, then there are a bunch of electro-acoustic musicians (like myself) doing their thing in bedrooms and basements. Everybody l...

One of my speakers has been blown for quite some time now, and I've been thinking it's time for an upgrade. What speakers do you all think would be best for a Crate GX212 120 watt amp?
