[QUOTE=Slug]Yea, I hate the guys that talk really loudly during Morning Bell though, and attempt to sing along.[/QUOTE]

True. I wish he'd played that both nights. One of those nights has the version of "True Love Waits" where the guy's like "OMG! THEY [I]TOOOOTALLY[/I] NEVER PLAY THIS!", right? Or was that another show I have?

Heh, yea that's the one. I wish I had been there to beat those kids down for talking during the set.

That guy is probably a MXican, though.

[QUOTE=JonM]That guy is probably a MXican, though.[/QUOTE]

It was probably Med

Yeah dude, you're probably right.

I think they may be going on tour to promote the new album :-D

We're spamming, but I can't wait to see them again.

/pulls thread back on topic

Today I've been digging Dinosaur Jr. - [I]You're Living All Over Me[/I], Blackalicious - [I]Blazing Arrow[/I], Ani DeFranco - [I]Educated Guess[/I], and I'm still enjoying Elbow - [I]Leaders Of The Free World[/I].

This morning I have enjoyed Hot Snakes - [I]Automatic Midnight[/I] and Shpongle - [I]Nothing Lasts... but Nothing is Lost[/I].

Today all I listened to was DJ Danger Mouse and MF Doom - [I]DangerDoom[/I], it never gets old to me. I love it.

It wouldn't wanna be getting old yet, seeing as it's not even out yet and all.

I know, I saw it advertised on Adult Swim last night and I thought man, I'm so happy we have YSI and people who get leaked albums on MX.

Today:

American Football
Archer Prewitt
Castanets

Cocteau Twins - [I]Heaven or Las Vegas[/I]

I just, for the first time, listened to the original running order (and am on the bonus tracks) of

[I]Buy [/I]by James Chance & The Contortions

Seems to be a pretty fu[color=white]c[/color]kin' stellar album.

I just realised how much I love [I]Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus[/I] by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

What sort of music is it? Like most of the other stuff you post about, I've never heard of them.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]What sort of music is it? Like most of the other stuff you post about, I've never heard of them.[/QUOTE]

They call it "no wave," I guess. It's sort of like more avant garde post-punk. The Contortions play pretty funky rock music with some really hot sax playing (James Chance plays sax and sings, and originally moved to NYC to become a jazz musician) and really angular riffing and anxious-sounding vocals.

That sure does sound mighty interesting, fella.

Aren't the Residents classified as no wave? If they are then I don't think I would like much from the genre.

Sigur Rós - [i]Takk[/i]

^^^^^^
Ha. Me too.

Me toooo. It's extremely, extremely good. Although I'm only on song 3. :p

Six Degrees of Separation
M83
The Kills

Adult Swim is the sussest name.

Hey Smackers, I listened to your mp3s, they were pretty impressive

The Contortions are a cool band.

I always thought the Residents were classified as the Residents.

Thank you, I spend a lot of time on them until I get them just right and it's really nice to hear some feed back. Right now I'm working on a cover of "In Heaven" from the movie Eraserhead. The Pixies use to play it after each show. They did a great cover of it, but I always thought there should be a really creepy and f*cked up version of it, so I've decided to do that. I'll send you a copy of that when I'm done if you want too also.

They sounded so professional. How are you creating them?

I've gotten good at getting the sound I want with my four track, which is digital, and I'm sure that helps. But I think my mixing software is probably the best thing I use right now to make them sound like they do. It's just a version of Cool edit, but it's really good for what I'm working on. You should hear my old stuff though, it sounds more like actual demos with a lower quality. I guess it's just been a lot of practice and trial and error.

So overall, I record the songs on my four track and mix them with cooledit. That's pretty much it.


...or maybe I'm really really special. :D ;)

Is Cool Edit free? I want to start recording things.

I have fallen in love with Sonic Youth's [i]Sister[/i].

Captain Beefheart - [I]Safe As Milk[/I] and [I]Trout Mask Replica[/I]

I found out Captain Beefheart has a four octave range voice. The average person only has 2, I think.

Yeah, the Captain does have a big range. And he wrote some of the most charmingly bumpy music of the late 60s to be included on [I]Trout Mask Replica[/I] .

I never liked Tom Waits this much until now. His later works didn't make much of an impression on me but [I]Rain Dogs[/I] certainly hits the spot.

Today has been full of:
Broken Social Scene
Archer Prewitt
American Football
Death Cab
Castanets.

it has been very mellow listening day.

The [I]No New York[/I] compilation, particularly the songs by James Chance & The Attractions and DNA.

Pinback - [I]Summer in Abaddon[/I]
Bob Dylan - [I]Highway 61 Revisited[/I]

and now, Black Mountain - [I]Black Mountain[/I]

later, more Dylan.

[QUOTE=Slug]Is Cool Edit free? I want to start recording things.[/QUOTE]

You can get a free demo of it but after a few times, it won't let you save your work anymore. I think I only paid half price for mine version of it. It was still $120 though. Maybe start out by trying the demo.

I illegally downloaded CoolEdit Pro 2.0, and that's what I use to create masterpieces.
