:lol:

Poetry and literature are really fun. I loooove poetry. I write poems and lyrics a lot and my lyrics are heavily poetic and metaphorical, so I'm pretty comfortable with writing and stuff.

Guts or whatever is his only semi cool story. Fight Club, too, but that's so trendy and famous now.

What's that story about one of his characters being the descendent of Christ or something?

He's OK, I guess.

It's pretty cool, great album.

Gav, sometimes dont think about whats trendy and stuff like that, just pay attention to the literature. Did you ever read Angels and Demons? Although its more popular i betcha u'd enjoy the story

guts is cool for pure shockk value. as for fight club, regardless of it being trendy, to me its always been a philosophy for me. i just take personal meanings to his writings, thats all.

I dunno, I dig Brown's stuff, but purely as entertainment. Not much insight in those for me to digest, y'know. It's just... unfulfilling.

yea thats what i read him for, just entertainment, nothing more... my satelite in my room went out so i turned to him instead of tv

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]It's pretty cool, great album.[/QUOTE]

awesome.

Man, hitting the jazz club kicked so much ***.

There was a talent scout there and I made an *** of myself.

Erik: I just don't think he's that great, that's all. :p

Jcs: Actually, I'm thinking about switching schools and doing Music Performance. :eek:

e p: Yeah, Fight Club's really really good.

I'm off to bed. Night! :wave:

FINALLY

Crikey, I have been trying to get into these forums all week, thank goodness they are back up and running.

I have been missing my daily dose of MX and going through severe withdrawl symptoms. It got so bad that I almost did not pick up and play bass for this entire week (I fought the urge not to play and succeeded).

Anyway, how is everyone?

I never feel like playing bass anymore...

Solo bass bores me so bad, and theres no one to play with around here

I understand music, but music PERFORMANCE? YOU?!


:p jk

I don't really solo when I play by myself, I just groove.

I can't get into playing by myself and I find when I try to force myself I end up hating the instrument.

[QUOTE=Jody LeCompte]I can't get into playing by myself and I find when I try to force myself I end up hating the instrument.[/QUOTE]
Stop trying then

Yeah dude, start playing for the sheer joy of musical expression instead of forcing it.

If I only played everytime I actually felt like playing...


Heh...anyone want to buy my bass?

quack


No, but ill take your Eden off your hands for ya.

I have also been getting a little bored just being a bedroom bassist, but hope to cure that with............TADA

Finally being able to record decently.

I now have all the gear I was waiting for.

- EBS MicroBass Preamp Pedal
- Soundcraft Compact 4 Mixer

Great, little setup, I shall post pics fairly soon and hopefully have some recording up for the weekend for people to listen to and puke in disgust at afterwards.


Jody, have you considered maybe taking Bass in a different direction, i.e. focusing on some other aspect than just playing, e.g. lutherie or maybe making your own pickups?

I have 0 gas for any basses produced outside of Fishers Indiana.

I just found out that mxtabs is gone for good. I am filled with saddness. It helped me a lot in my and some of my friends' playing.

You know, I hate saying this, but I think the reason why I play music is for the energy now. I hate the whole metalcore thing going on right now, but I'd love to be in one of those bands just to go nuts on stage and see people mosh to me. I can't imagine playing at a blues show and have people just...watch. At least in my band people skank to us :)

I'm REALLY interested in learning upright but I dont have the money.

I'm also interested in cutting some tracks of just me, but again, instruments cost money.
