Man... story time

Last night, I went over to my neighbour's to play guitar and stuff and this weird guy was visiting. I've seen him before, but not like this. He was drinking some cheap scotch and talking about how he met this girl at a course 2 years ago. It pretty much sounded like he was stalking her because she called the police on him. Anyway, he still isn't over it and kept saying he was going to call her.

After a while he started talking about going out to try meet some girls at the pub or wherever. Then he had the idea of going to the strip club. He had his shoes there but he asked me to lend him some socks. I refused.

Then after he realized that wasn't going to happen, he was saying about hookers he has been with.. we were just thinking WTF. So he found a newspaper called up a hooker he has been with before to go to my neighbour's place. Neighbour wasn't too impressed about all this, but strangely, he didn't care enough to stop him asking her there.

So half an hour later she turns up, looks about 45 years old, but was probably younger, like the last threads of her soul had been torn away years ago. I just kept playing guitar with neighbour, jamming to this dodgy midi version of Sultans of Swing that sounded like one you'd hear from an RSL club one-man cover band w/drum machine. The sound was coming from a computer in one room, but also through speakers in the lounge room. The guitars were also rigged up to this sound setup.

Anyway, weird guy and hooker go into the computer room, which also has a spare bed, close the door. Neighbour and I just shake our heads and say stuff about throwing the sheets out, etc, then kept playing the song. The song was the only midi song we put on that night, overlaid with dodgy amatuer guitar, so it probably couldn't have been a more tacky situation.

Two minutes later, the couple emerge, fully clothed. She looked pissed off and said to us "Your mate's got no money. I don't have time for this, I have another job in an hour" and then she left. Apparently he only had $10 on him and he asked her to take him to the ATM first so he could get cash out. More WTF.

Anyway, after that, he stopped doing such stupid stuff. Still, that had to one of the most pathetic and corrupted displays I've ever seen from a human being. I'll try to avoid him from now on.


In better news, I hooked up my guitar to the computer and got the sound card working with ASIO support so I can add realtime effects (I loooove effects), amp modelling, recording, and whatever else I can think up.

Haha wow, what a failure at life.

Should have done them both a favour and let them share a bullet and a shallow suite at the outback motel.

That actually sounds humane.

Awesomely dark line, too. Is that from anything in particular? Sounds like it could be out of a Bird Blobs song.

I'm not actually sure if it's from anything. I was thinking of the phrases "dirt nap"/"shallow grave" etc and just went from there. Your post was definitely the longest we've seen in here for a while.

this place is definitely lacking mega posts

and that was a good story :D

I hate creepy dudes like that hey. I'm obsessed with keeping girls I know safe from those types. I know some sweet chicks but to be honest most of them aren't smart enough to take care of themselves in real life.

i dont really know many creepy dudes like that hey
not seedy ones like that
and i dunno, most of the chicks i know are pretty streetwise. although now i think of it some are definitely airheads

do you guys like bon iver? i really likee the song 'woods', where he basically repeats a lyrcs but layers his voice over top of itself all the time while using that autotune thing on his voice
its a really cool song

Never actually heard of him.

I'm looking for ways to order this cool jazz album from America without paying through the nerve endings for postage.

hahaha find a friend over there to buy it for you?

and i think youd like bon iver, its just him and an acoustic guitar mostly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Iver

I've got an album of his (/theirs?) to listen to, but haven't yet. The mere mention of autotune has already put me off a bit.

Also Matt, you are good with words, I've seen other posts (can't remember any in particular) that could make clever, hard-hitting lyrics. I really like those types, but don't I hear them nearly enough in songs.

Haha Horseman, that's genius. Then they have to pay the postage to here. I like it. I think I can afford one jazz album a month if it's an overseas purchase. I might check for Australian stockists though.

Check them out they're good http://nickhemptonband.com

according to the facebook quiz 'what's your key signature' i am apparently B minor.

The rebel of all key signatures. B Minors are melancholic and dark like E Majors, but they turn this trait inwards and expresses this through violence and deviance. B minors are the most in-touch with reality of all key signatures, which is probably why they see the **** in this world more clearly than any other key signatures. They are the face of rock, metal, grunge, and (eww) emo bands, as well as troubled poets and other artists everywhere. Because of their dark and somewhat violent nature, B Minors are usually misunderstood and have few, if any friends. Healthier and more stable B Minors can resemble E Majors, which are also their closest friends. B Minors can help A Majors snap out of their delusions. B Minors should learn to lighten up and not keep themselves in the dark.

Haha.

That's less irritating to read than I expected it would be.

Surprising it doesn't play up the obvious compatability that a B Minor person should have with a D Major person. I wonder how it'd decide which person was which of those.

im not a massive fan of autotune but the way he did it with this song is really cool. like its all a capella, and it starts off with just him saying this line then slowly he overdubs it over and over and autotunes each layer differently so it sounds heaps cool
check it out here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZYVJlhnqxQ

but thats the only song of his that really uses autotune, he kinda uses it in the background but not very much at all in a couple of his songs.
he grew on me heaps in the last couple of weeks

Auto-tune should only be used for purposes of irony and satire. For those it's a godsend.

Cute song. Definitely saved him money on hiring a choir.

i think its cool if its used like in a way that hes done it...like if a person who has a really good voice uses it to try some new sound or something i enjoy it
if its some crappy pop song by someone that cant sing i dont enjoy it

i think of it like a heaps good guitar player like steve vai or something using effects pedals

Well, it'd be like Steve Vai using a pedal that would press the frets for him but yeah I know what you mean.
