No shit. I'm sure he has a nice selection of big pants though.

I am 72% as good as Westerberg, so there are 10 songs on my new record. Man, that has to be a serious moment of enlightenment when one finally finds that... number! Edit: The best (IMO) albums in my collection have 8-10. I've always noticed that fact. I love the C90 reference someone posted... one ...

I think he's sold a few more albums than most people here. Fine songwriter.

On topic, a good long auction on eBay would probably allow you to get it to someone to whom the autograph would matter.

If you have a subscription, the SOS "Classic Tracks" article on that song is a really good read. Love that series of articles.

Endlessly fascinating, IMO:

Of course, I just heard Big Star's "September Gurls" for the first time, so, I may be easily amused (what the hell is that awful 2K or whatever ringing in the guitar though - wow, that hurts)

I agree. What once was so cool, is now so gay. The book is grea though.

Edit: "t". I only post when drunk.

LOL. Listening to this about 40 times tonight... again. What a track.

Maybe I've missed it in the mix of threads, but you could always buy something cheap like an M-Audio 44 and some $50 pres, get your demos down, and credit card $5K for studio time. Shit, that's what I'd do if I was starting from scratch. If you're looking to build gear over time, follow other's advi...

Pants down on this one. I was 16 and my dad gave me the money to come down from Oklahoma and record three songs at Planet Dallas Studios (Tripping Daisy, Nixons, several other notables eventually recorded there). Fueled by my vintage American-made Jackson Randy Rhoads custom w/Khaler, I whammied my ...

Dude, if you're in that sort of infancy, then get the 300. They'll be super sweet, and if you have to print again, you can get 1000 and talk about all those "collectors items" circulating out there.

Thanks to Napster, I've been subscribing to all the stuff I haven't bought in the past. I've always loved this song. Not much info on him, that I'm aware of. Anyone know anything about how this was recorded? Amazing musicianship on this song, and you know it had to be done... for real. Thanks, MT

Listening is cool, man, but I was asking if anyone knew detail on the vocal chain...

What about downloading a demo or two of another tracking package, like Tracktion 2, etc. and seeing what's up?

I hate to admit it, but I got in the car after dinner tonight, and this song was going as I flipped through radio on my way on a radio roundtrip to the Mesquite High School station which plays the 70's commercial free. The fucking vocal blew me away, even through secondary radio compression and all ...
