going to see the pumpkins tonight. why hello, my own adolescence! is that you? why yes, it is! And? I do find the BV's kind of distracting when they are not just the chorus, as in the "doomsday" song (of which they play a snippet during the Bears' last game.) As a matter of fact, they are kind of l...

Ha! I wasn't really a kid... 29 And a quick short one about the girl; she was a cocktail waitress I had met the night before and got her number when she laughed at me standing stunned in the disco she worked in, which had just opened in what had been a pretty cool live rock bar. She was 100% Menomon...

Sort of funny, quick story: I met Slash when they were in Chicago as he writes, bumping into him while waiting in line for the afternoon premier of the movie Batman , and when he saw that I recognized him he indicated that I should be discreet, which I was and I even kept my first-date under control...

Something that sounds odd but works for me, even using drum samples with reverb on them, is to play the drum tracks back loud over the monitors while mic'ing the room (I'm in a 10x12' bedroom, using an AT4040 through a VTB1 for this), typically with some of the bass mixed in also, and then crushing ...
