[quote=Az_Holl;18769223]i prefer marmite and promite to vegemite. They taste like beer

you can use vegemite and hot water to make a mock miso soup too[/quote]
Blasphemy.

Miss you bro.

[QUOTE=funkyhoney;18767565]That reminds me, did anyone here do Latin? I never did that, blast.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, like 10 years ago for about a year or so. Don't remember a whole lot though.

It's used as a scientific language because it is dead, and doesn't evolve. The lexicon is set and terms mean the same thing 200 years ago that they do today.

I've always been curious about vegemite. I wonder how hard it is to find in a seaside tourist town with a lot of weird specialty stores. There is an "anglophile" store that sells a bunch of british sh*t, so that might be my best bet.

vegemite is aussie. marmite is british. no idea what the flying fuck promite is.

apparently it's aussie too. go figure.

You can find it at World Market (or some place of the like). You might have to go inland a few miles, though, away from the tourists.

I did Latin and classical Greek in school but don't remember a whole lot of either.

Vegemite is superior.

Thank you, here's a man with taste.

Now, Dudes and Dudettes, I am putting together a mix reel of current stuff. If you have any songs you've been involved in (I'm looking at you Gassy, Fatbandity, and Funky) let me know and I shall mix 1 song for free.

You can have the mix to do whatever you want with, as long as I can post it eventually on my website (see: free advertising for you).

I'll probably get no replies, but no harm in asking :chug:

Oh and Ryan if you have any stuff from your band that you could share with me to give it a shot that would be cool. If you don't like the mix I won't put it on my website (lol if the client doesn't like it, then no good putting it out there for other potential clients!)

I may have something for you. I'll tell you when im not at work :)

Right. Basically I've got something on the go, but it is absolutely in its most formative stages. It's going to be an evolution of what we were doing with Mae's Lost Empire, but with a more electronic/glitch twist. If you think it sounds interesting, let me know and I can show you what's there, but we haven't got much done yet at all, so I would understand if you just said it was too much work ;)

There is no away from the tourists in santa barbara, unfortunately. We do have a world market that i'm gonna hit up. Is it like REALLY REALLY salty, like those dry cured olives (if you've had those)?

I'm getting my plan of attack together. I work at a little gourmet cheese/food shop so I have access to a wealth of amazing cheeses, just got to figure a good one for that stuff. I'm thinking that because it is yeasty, a beer washed rind cheese like chimay or something like a taleggio. Aged goudas might be good, but that might be too much crazy flavor going on. Vendeen bichonne, tomme savoie, and toma valsesia could temper that saltiness, so maybe some mild semi-softs. No kiwi or aussie cheeses in the shop, although I kinda doubt aussie cheese can be all that great due to the overall lack of water on the continent. NZ is different, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if all the best cheeses from oceania come from there.
Is it best to eat with beer?

edit: I take that back, we sell roaring 40s, a blue cheese from australia. That would be good if it wasn't so salty already.

Dude send it on over, is it a Reaper session? If so I'll have to install it real quick so I can put into Pro Tools...

No underscores or nuffin'.

The very least I can try giving it a mix or something so you can hear what it may sound like?

You have access to taleggio? I've been looking all over Arizona for it for months. A prosciutto-wrapped salmon recipe I found calls for it. Last I heard, there were issues with the packaging that made it nigh impossible to import.

As far as cheese flavor goes, you'll want something strong (otherwise, the Vegemite kind of drowns it out) and something less salty; maybe something akin to sharp cheddar.

Don't know why it'd be hard to import, the only problems we run into with cheese imports are raw milk cheeses not aged the FDA required 60 days. It comes packaged just like anything else, in airliner lined boxes with a bunch of icepacks. Its relatively cheap too, at least compared to most everything else we sell. It's one of the cheaper at 16/lb. Try to special order it and don't take no BS about packaging.

Is it even possible to troll a forum that <5 people regularly post on?

It only means that obvious troll is EXTRA obvious.

I'll send you something when we've got something worth sending you then Joel. Currently it's the song in MIDI form with pianos VSTs just for sound, and a drum track that doesn't have the ideal sounds on it, none of the pads or subs, or any of the audio glitching done. So it'd give you an idea of the composition of the song as it is now, but that's about it. Unless you want something that rough just through curiosity haha.

Unless you fancy actually working on it as an actual ongoing musical project with us? D:

[quote=fatbandit;18773946]Unless you fancy actually working on it as an actual ongoing musical project with us? D:[/quote]
Haha that could work too?

I'll probably be pretty useless as an actual musician, maybe could do some guitar parts. I could play pseudo-producer if you like?

I'm going away for about a week today so gives you some time to get some stuff together!

We work slow, haha. I wouldn't count on much being done in a week's time. I'm moving house like tomorrow, so I don't know how long it'll be before I'm back working on it. And because we're not a proper band with proper band practices, we're just not that productive.

To be honest, someone with technical skills would be a massive asset. We want to write sweet songs, get them released and kind of be on par with the big guys in the industry. But if we're doing more electronic stuff, that's a side of music where production is probably the biggest part of it, and we're production noobs :(

There are a few songs floating around in various stages of completion though. I'll try and put together a folder of stuff and see if you actually like it first :p

That sounds like a plan motherfucker!

Well yes I think I can fill that role, upload the folder and email me the link and I'll have a listen before when I get back.

Stupid Joel, I'm not giving you any of my secret moves.

[quote=gaslight;18774558]Stupid Joel, I'm not giving you any of my secret moves.[/quote]

This is t3h interwebs. 4chan is already hacking your computer and stealing your secret moves because you deemed them secret.

I want a sweet electric uke that looks like a Fender Strat and uses steel strings.

Just moved in to the new place. Pretty basic, but it's mine ^___^ Got the computer set up. No internet, but I'm tethering my computer off my iPhone. Think I might just not pay for an internet connection and use this. It's not the fastest internet ever, but it works and I'm already paying for it anyway :p

I'll put that folder together you later Joel - I'll also put a text file in explaining what's what :)

Oh, like one of these? (not quite a uke but has steel strings)

they called it an electric mandolin but it only had 4 strings...

Ooh, that's tight as hell. Just checked the pricing though...$1500+?! Damn Fender and their "vintage" value.

I was actually thinking about getting one of these ebay electrics, though, installing my own bridge, routing a small strat pickguard, and having custom pickups made.

Epiphone makes an electric uke, too, and it sounds pretty rad. Watched a buddy of mine play one a for an open mic a few months back and was very impressed with it.

The only bummer is that it's still acoustic too. My uke is acoustic/electric, which is cool, but I hate the issues I occasionally get with feedback from amplified acoustic instruments. I was thinking more along the lines of the Mandocaster with 2 or 3 pickups and in a concert ukulele size.

Vibing on this shit.

Also thinking about returning to uni and using my credit points as electives to fast-track a BA in counter-terrorism. Saving the world, fuck yeah.

Haha, I'm thinking it'll either be really cool and I'll end up as some sort of Michael Weston-esque, corporate espionage expert. Or it'll suck dog balls and I'll be some stiff working for ASIO *shudders*.

Back now from camping so send me that folder when you can :)

I've been really busy, sorry. Moving in is time consuming, and we've been preparing our housewarming party all week. I'll get it done though :) how was the trip?

haha all good man no rush, I'm pretty flat out too. I know how you feel, I moved cities two months ago, then moved into my fiance's parents, then to my parents for a month, then back to her's. Granted we weren't moving all our stuff, it's still pretty shit house. So good luck bro!

It was awesome, I look like a fucking greek addonnis, without the muscles and shit, so just bronzed. Got so much sun, no burns though which was great. Went through a litre of Jamerson's whisky in a couple of days. Which is very moderate by my standards. There are guys that will do 1 bottle in a night, but good luck to them in the morning.

Also...Cider is great. All hail cider!

A Greek Adonis without the muscles?

Muppet :lol:.

Sounds like a gay old time anyway, Adonis or not :p How long have you been engaged though? Thought she was just your girlfriend? :o I'm such a bad listener.

Pimps and hoes party tonight, so there had better be plenty of bitches with plenty of no clothes there.

Pics or it didn't happen...
