I think I broke my pelvis. I was gyrating like 420 times a second. That song is awesome. Good job. I really liked the drums and the synth, or whatever that thing with the flange was.
Werd.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Ooooh...I get it...you're supposed to gyrate your pelvis. That explains it. Unfortunately now I have to go out and buy a whole new pair of underpants. I was hoping this pair would last me 'til payday.I think I broke my pelvis.
See, now I just have a Payday in my underpants.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Sorry to say, I am way too ridiculously busy with school, work, and family drama right now to do the song. Jockey full of bourbon is up for grabs for whoever wants it.
Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Man. That is so awesome. That synth sound is wicked, and that breakdown (did you record someone pissing?) is fucking great. Big ups on the solos, too. Sweetness.swingdoc wrote:OK children, here's Cemetary Polka.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
I'll give it a shot. But don't expect too much... I'll probably do the whole thing with 3 tracks and in one evening.thecongostudio wrote:Sorry to say, I am way too ridiculously busy with school, work, and family drama right now to do the song.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Hi guys, thanks for the kind reviews.
Yah, thats the little wang draining the golden nectar. Its recorded through a Neumann M49 to Neve1081 to Fairchild 660 to 2" tape to API board, Pultec EQ's and genelec monitors. That was Jeff Robinson's recommendations. My wang wouldnt have it any other way.
I sure hope we get all the tunes done and can put together the whole album at some point. I'm so freakin impressed with everyones' work so far. Every tune you guys have done sounds great.
We should put up a challenge to Gear Slutz to match our album recreation. We'd hurt them so bad they'd cry and cry and cry and we'd just throw on our cape and wizard hat and make them walk the plank. Then we'd drink the mead until we all vomit.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Don't say I didn't warn you about doing it fast and crude... mere hours later, I slapped together something by bouncing between two minidisc recorders. Everything first take! Yeah, I've got the computer recording stuff, but it's too annoying to work with. I miss the days when I just dubbed between cassette decks...

Nope, I don't smoke, but I do have a bit of a cold. And the one lyric run-through and one take was pretty much my throat budget for the evening - I really need to practice more.
Edit: Now I want to re-record it on the computer, so I can actually mix the sucker and such. The percussion didn't really come through - it's a one-gallon plastic jar through a SM-57, but the reverb from my guitar amp got lost somehow.
On a side note, any recommendations for vocal mic? I did the above with a CAD E-100, which won my recent shootout on my own voice by sounding both clearest and most lifelike. It's the one where I feel a tickle in my throat while listening to the raspy passages.

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Cool, Scott.
On a sidenote: There's that line about the "mohair vest" in that song? If you try to look up the lyrics to this song online there's about twenty web pages that list the lyric as "mother vest".
WTF? That can't be right. I bet it's like the world of LimeWire where one douchebag ignorantly mis-labels a Cardigans song as Mazzy Star or what have you and all of a sudden it turns up as a Mazzy Star song on about eighty billion servers.
Mother Vest! LOL! Isn't that a grunge band?

Re: TapeOp's Rain Dogs
Yeah, I looked at a couple different lyrics pages and noticed that. The same one that had "mother vest" also had "Dutch pink pink on a downtown train", and that's not right either. But I couldn't resist singing it that way on the repeat.Caldo71 wrote: On a sidenote: There's that line about the "mohair vest" in that song?
