^^^^^^
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

[QUOTE=Zappa]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.[/QUOTE]
The Contortions are a cool band.
[QUOTE]Aren't the Residents classified as no wave? If they are then I don't think I would like much from the genre.[/QUOTE]I've always just called The Residents Avant-garde. They're a lot different from the Contortions.

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.

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.

Zappa's got some tickets on himself.

His brother's pretty cool too. :cool:






:upset:

Ive had Mindless Self Indulgence in my mind more than any band lately.
Stellastarr* and The Weakerthans also.

Whatever works dude.

The Beatles - The White Album

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Zappa's got some tickets on himself.[/QUOTE]

What does that mean?

Oh, now that I think about it, that might be an Aussie thing. It basically means you think you're tops.

And "think you're tops" would probably be a British thing. Still, it's clear now.

And of course I'm the bomb diggity dog.

I'm am currently trying to listen to some classical music. Oh, how I do love that Amadeus.

Of course.
