It wasn't even that we were stuck writing. Jeremy was just like "hey, why don't you put a bass solo on this part?"

It's okay. It's really a pretty melodic solo because I'm not into flash and chops and stuff. I'm not dissatisfied with it, I just don't solo often, haha.

Spaceman Spiff 10-01-2009 02:39 PM

I don't like soloing, either. I was forced to do it a few too many times on the last album, but I'm not displeased with what I did. I just don't really like doing it.

Well, not that I don't like doing it, I just generally don't like soloing and solos.

Hey - someone help me. On firefox I was told about an addon that allows me to control stuff like winamp from the browser window, anyone know what that would be called?

I know some people who swear by it. It's Windows only, though, atm, so I haven't had an opportunity to try it out (running a Mac). Supposedly it's much, much faster, but I dunno. I never really thought FF was slow.

karmapavementplan 10-01-2009 02:54 PM

Ok, winamp has a pop up in the corner every time a new track comes on which, with this new firefox thing, is very annoying as I can only skip one song at a time without clicking to fullscreen winamp

Any ideas?

karmapavementplan 10-01-2009 02:55 PM

And i just like the sleep styling of chrome, haven't tried it yet... instead I got a chrome skin for ff - sorted.

I run Opera 10 myself.

[quote=gaslight;17545508]Yeah, nothing wrong with taking a lead roll sometimes but routinely wanting to take the spotlight at the expense of the ensemble, that's a sickness.[/quote]

I rarely do it. I write fairly complex basslines to our stuff, but they are subtle and hang in the background. Some of our stuff, I'm the driving force (ie a walking a bassline), but I don't really go with the up-front lead style like, say, Justin Chancellor of Tool or Chris Wofehbslxsdrfesfholme from Muse.

gaslight 10-01-2009 03:18 PM

Yeah, it's good to strike a balance.

I'm really looking forward to getting the final mixes of this album that's in progress at the moment, I get some tasty bass spots in it, one solo that I'm itching to hear the final product of, but yeah the tone in general sounds great in the control room and I hope it stays that nice in the end *fingers crossed*.

BenJammin 10-01-2009 03:46 PM

I'm going to borrow it from my friend once he's done with his copy.

Pluperfect_Arson 10-01-2009 04:14 PM

Fallout 3? I liked it better when it was called Oblivion.

Oblivion sucked.

Man, this weekend is going to be rough. Two Java programs, differential equations homework and linear algebra homework are due on Monday.

So much for the loads of quality time I get to spend with my gf this weekend.

gaslight 10-01-2009 04:38 PM

Fallout 3 was and is fantastic.

funkyhoney 10-01-2009 06:13 PM

Arkham Asylum is fantastic.

A new friend of mine showed me this last night. I immediately became smitten.

Sablate McNuff 10-02-2009 02:36 AM

My Fender is officially string-thru. :D

New pickguard, tuners, and pickups should be here soon. Then all I need is to find a control plate that fits, get me a better preamp (maybe), and new knobs. The bass is almost complete. Pics when I'm done. So excited.

Hell yes.

funkyhoney 10-02-2009 04:58 AM

What am I looking at?

Moon Flavor 10-02-2009 07:06 AM

Pickle you lucky ******! That should be my ticket

funkyhoney 10-02-2009 07:20 AM

I still don't know what I'm looking at.

Spaceman Spiff 10-02-2009 07:34 AM

Tickets to go see The Pixies. They're doing a tour where they're playing their album [I]Doolittle[/I] all the way through each night. It will be incredible. Pickle is one lucky pickle.

I'm seeing The Mars Volta in two days, though, so that's pretty spectacular.

DaveSavesTheDay 10-02-2009 07:54 AM

It's been awhile, Casual.

funkyhoney 10-02-2009 07:56 AM

Who are the Pixies?

BenJammin 10-02-2009 08:18 AM

hai Dave
