You guys probably suck, anyways.

Doesn't anyone read Calvin And Hobbes?[/quote]

I love Calvin & Hobbes. BW.and GL are my two favorite comic writers.

Although, SMBC-comics creator Zach has got my heart too. As does whats-his-face from xkcd.

I always knew it was Spiff, but after the numerous weed discussions, I figured Spliff just worked better.

Hey I'm rolling a spliff as we speak what a cowinkydink

Animal Collective show was sick tonight.

There was a very strange vibe in the room, though. It was a weird crowd.

Tiities. large, spongey, glorious tits.

Only two more songs on the album need bass and drums recorded. That was fast.

I'll unleash our new EP on you all when I actually get the final mix back -_-

Cool.

And we're actually going to get this one professionally mastered when we're done recording and mixing it. I'm very excited about it.

A lot of people round here say they can master things, but al they really do
is compress it a LOT, make it sound worse, and charge you money for it. So I don't think we're going to master it.

Its pretty much a decent sounding demo that we're letting people have for free, so I don't want to spend loads of money actually getting something mastered like that.

cool is he going to professionally master someone exciting over you singer's voice?



just playin spliffy

I think if he sang for this album it would be really powerful, just not always in key. We need to whip this girl into shape so she can really project and sing loud as fu[SIZE="2"]ck.[/SIZE]


So, how's your band going? lolololol

Oooh girl singer? I like the sound of that.

My band is doing awesome we just jammed yesterday and it was a whole lot of fun and wrote a few songs including "Dick Accident", "Poop Dick Dick Dick Dick Dick Mother****ing McMurphy Will Smith", "Dickboner", and "Ghost Person"

Why our jam involved so much dick I do not know :confused:

So I haven't been here properly in like 2 years.

...do with that what you will. :amaze:

I just had my first try at making a Garfield Minus Garfield.

lol, it's funny to see someone say that. because first, people were all like "what's with everyone leaving?"

and now its "what's with everyone coming back here?"

i just think it's a little bit :lol:

Boy, you gon' have to make me.

And everyone left? I just kind of drifted away ages ago... (read: I was sooo 'kin sick of you)

And I'm not really 'back'. Just figured I'd see what was goin' down. Even forgot my username...

olol dubyajoe

yeh, i went nowhee near this place for ages. i drift in now for the luls

hai

the cardigans are awesome

I am awesome.

O rly?

Ya rly.

Even tho my comp. entry doesn't think so.

Lul. Mine is going to be too ambient/"New Age" sounding, I think, for most people to dig.

Mine, well, I'm not 100% sure of mine, but I need to come up with lyrics.

Who does lyrics? I mean, seriously.

Guys like me who come up with a stupid entry idea and don't have time to go back and think of something else. Lol

Oh, I see. I always thought lyrics were more effort than composing music.

[quote=BenJammin;17248414]Oh, I see. I always thought lyrics were more effort than composing music.[/quote]

Depends.

Sometimes lyrics just come to me.

Then again, I could definitely cover the lyrics if I find something worthy

I think my song is almost done.

/question from ages ago

Serious question Ben, what IS it you actually want to do? I'm doing a creative writing degree in lieu of journalism because it covers a much broader range of writing including journalism and also has literature components and stylistics/writing theory units. Main reason being because it's what I'm best at, ideally wanting to just freelance around doing odds and ends whilst working a day job in something I love like animals/pet/aquarium industry. Oh, and because it gives me skills I need to write half-decent fiction.

But you're doing some kind of English Lit. course right? Are you aiming do be a linguistics/stylistics writer or something?

Well, I just graduated with my BA in English Language and Literature. It's pretty open ended, in terms of what I can do now.

I'm interested in modern literature, particularly speculative fiction and its social commentary, so I might pursue that at a higher level. Conversely, I might end up as a copy editor at a newspaper or other publication, since I've got a knack for the more technical aspects of English, and high literacy is always a desirable work trait.

Honestly, though: I've got no f[size=2]ucking[/size] clue what I want to do. :lol:

I'd love to write fiction for a living, but I first have to actually start finishing some of the things I write.

I'm halfway through a BFA in Creative Writing with a marketing minor. I like modern literature more than "classic", I learnt that very quickly doing lit subjects. Spec fic and social commentary, you like Philip K. Dick?

I don't know what I want to do when I finish, probably study more, either music or vet/animal studies. But before I decide I just want to work a job and do freelance writing until I can get a hold into the industry with a regular column/editing job or something.

If I can do that then that's enough for me, I'd love to write for a magazine or something, not journalistic, but creative type pieces. Personal essays, travel, reviews and such.

Eh, time will tell. Back to auditing manuscripts I go.

Yeah, I quite enjoy Philip K. Dick. Haven't read a lot of his stuff, but [I]Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?[/I] is one of my favorite books.

Agreed, completely.

Martian Time Slip, is a good one, one of the earlier ones and very experimental with the narrative structure; there's a few scenes that play through 6 or 7 times through different perspectives with different exposition. It's weird, but a magnificent use of repetition and characterisation.

I'm actually using it as the subject of an oral I have to give about narrative devices of a chose author for stylistics class.

Do you care for modern drama at all? If so, and you enjoy repetition, you probably like Samuel Beckett, yeah? [I]Endgame[/I] is a brilliant play that just goes around in circles.

I have heard of but not read much of Beckett. I think repetition is a very difficult technique to master, it's far too easy to overdo it, but on the same token, underdoing it makes it pointless.

Circular narrative always interested me, not only because it's the most complex, but goes back to my film study days. I love how something can end but only be beginning at the same time. Playing with time and reality is hard but fun.

Just ordered two EMG 45DC's for my schecter and an Aggy OBP-3 for the 8-string. w00t

The finger ramp is almost complete for my schecter - it's quite extensive. It is the same radius and height of the fretboard and extends nearly all the way to the bridge. It fits over the pickups too. Oooh, I'm excited to finish it and stain it.

Bass Agenda:
Setup my remaining 3 basses
Install new pickups and pre
Satin Poly on my Stingray's neck
Order Akai Headrush E2

What's on your bass/guitar agenda?

I need a distortion/OD that I like more than my Big Muff. My problem is that it's too fuzzy. I'm thinking about a Pro Co Rat. Any other ideas?

I still need to get out and try out a Tele, because I'm very curious about those guitars. Everyone says it's best to change the pickups on the MIM Teles, can you confirm or deny if this is really worth it? People usually say they can be quite noisy and such.

And I want to pick up a decent acoustic for cheap. The acoustic I have is kind of trash.
