Should have my five string early in the new year :).

5 string what?

[quote=fatbandit;18304412]Our guitarist just bought an Agile 8 string, and it's pretty sweet. I definitely prefer it to his LTD 8 that cost like twice as much, in looks and sound. If that's anything to go by, it should be a good guitar :)[/quote]

Psh, 8-strings are a thing of the past:

That's the one he bought. It's pretty sweet.

Had to system reset my computer, and now I have to completely redo my iTunes >.< I hate this.

[quote=fatbandit;18304304]Lol, we play such small shows :([/quote]
Haha well my theory is that if you play small venues you're going to get small crowds.

So if you're filling the room, that's all good, there's only so much you can do as a local band.

But if you've been gigging for a year and you still get the same three people coming to your gig I think you need to start writing better material.

If the last 60 years of music has been any indicator, quality of music is not proportionate to the fan base.

Fatty needs better promoting.

Maybe in regards to record sales...

But most good bands, whether successful or not have a live fan base of some sort.

Disagree. Some bands are awesome, but nobody latches onto them. Some dire bands will attract 50 people in their hometown, but only because they are mates.

Yes. Sorted it out now. Lost my playcounts, but it's not the end of the world.

Is the title a White Zombie reference?

what the fuck is white zombie

Record sales is a hard figure to look at when it comes to a bands popularity as hit singles are almost never a good indicator of the rest of the album (unless it's Nickelback, in which case, it's guaranteed to be sh*t).

And plenty of people go to shows because they like "that one song they play on the radio," not because there's a legitimate fan-base.

I forgot what we were arguing about....wanna make out?

you do know

that more human than human is a nietzsche quote

ps: that song sucks ass

Nietzche says

[quote=Friedrich Nietzche]
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept. For something is possible in the realm of these schemata which could never be achieved with the vivid first impressions: the construction of a pyramidal order according to castes and degrees, the creation of a new world of laws, privileges, subordinations, and clearly marked boundaries - a new world, one which now confronts that other vivid world of first impressions as more solid, more universal, better known, and more human than the immediately perceived world, and thus as the regulative and imperative world.

12/12 - when I wake up there'll be a new Glassjaw song. Kinda hoping it's that song that's been floating around for at least a year now, but also kinda hoping it's something new too. I can finally buy last month's single as well ^_^

We're now done three out of four songs for the new EP. Recording live is tough but a lot of fun. It feels so good when you get the take.

I love recording live, it's by far my favorite method.

RX Bandits have done a bunch of live recording in the past, their album Progress has all sorts of wicked stuff done on the fly.

I'm surprised at how good the quality of the recordings is. We're recording drums, bass, and guitar live in my basement. Five or six mics on the drums, two on the guitar amp, one (and DI) for the bass, and one room mic. We set up the room for as little bleed as possible, and it's working really well. It's all sounding really good even before mixing, so I can't wait until it is mixed and mastered to hear how it comes out.

No doubt, should be decent.

What's the plan for Christmas, Sir?

Edit: also will locked in a box be on the EP.

No plans. I've been off work all this week because I'm taking a paid vacation. Then the next two weeks should should be relatively quiet there because a lot of people will be gone for holidays and such, so I'll pretty much be sitting around doing nothing and making money.

Other than that, we'll finish this EP very soon. Perhaps do a second EP since we have a bunch more songs that are ready to record.

So, pretty much just work and lots of music. How about you? Do you have any plans?

Sounds awesome. What do you do, actually?

A bunch of the gang is coming back for the break so I'll be getting in touch with them, meeting up with Simon, the guy who played bass with me this summer and we'll be getting our powers back in motion. Chris returns for a few days too so maybe he'll sit in on the skins once or twice.

My buddy Anthony is leaving for a return to Vancouver soon so that kind of threw a wrench into the idea of performing live during the break, but hey. So far there's gonna be a good bit of working mixed in with about four or five days off, not including weekends. Got a trip to Grande Prairie AB planned for a day, should be fun. I've been playing quite a bit but honestly Anthony heading back to Van so soon definitely killed the mutual interest. ah well.

Glad to hear you guys are racking up tunes like nobody's business! I've been writing a bit lately as well.

So, I just came home, and when I opened the fridge, this is what I saw.

I work as a security guard at a big pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

That sucks about your possible band stuff not working out. Just keep writing and looking for people to play with, someone should come along eventually.

And yes, that song will be on the EP. There's also a video of another song that we put up (Meaningless) that will be on it. And two other songs that we have not put videos up of, but have played live at most of our recent shows. We've got videos, but you can wait it out. It should be done (printed) in about a month.
