Have had a dry spell but this emerged quite rapidly about a week ago. I'll try to get a rough cut up on my SClick, but thought I'd post lyric up for comment. Cheers Burt Aliens and Angels 1. She told me stories from the grave As we drank Pimms and lemonade The drama days we dedicate To down and...

What is your unfinished-song to finished-song ratio? Do you see them as failures, trash, part of the journey, slowly distilling to be finished or future ‘stems’ for completely new work? I am interested to hear about other’s work flow. It varies and to be honest I seem to write complete songs...

No words, no guitars - I wrote it 6 months ago and didn't have a place for it, till I started doing some film work recently - I think it is 'sound trackish' and think I would like to use the motifs to create a 'sound track' album for a movie i haven't made. Let me know if you think it is worth...

Anyone have anything to do with Bayview or Cascade trying to get a Fathead mic? I have been waiting for over a month - I have original order notification but no follow up on payment method - I'm an OS customer - I then emailed sales at Cascade to ask them and 2 weeks of nothing from them. Every...

People have been talking about ruts and writers block so I thought I’d throw a couple of sites I go to for inspiration Brian Eno’s Oblique Stratergies http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/oblique/oblique.html When you don’t know what to do next you pick a card and see if the...

Recommendations please for compressor pedal that is low in noise and very transparent - I really love the clean tone of all my guitars and want to keep it just with more sustain – I’m using both single coil and hum buckers if people feel that has an influence. I’ve heard Retro Sonic or MXR are...

There have been recent threads (singing over riffs and what scales to use) that return to the perennial issue of theory vs. instinct! I can already surmise from people’s post that opinions vary, but I would like to hear what value people place on these two aspects of song writing and how you...

Trying to map iDrum samples using new Yamaha DD65 as trigger. DD65 on-board sounds, hi-hat trigger pad knows when hi-hat foot trigger is off/on and plays ‘open hi-hat’ sample, when trigger foot is off and will play ‘hi-hat closing’ sample when on and then hi-hat trigger pad plays ‘closed hi-hat’...

John and all I’d like to offer this one up for evaluation – against your criteria or any other I’m trying to get across the extreme level of hopelessness with the complete brake down of the universe. The Mid8 is based around a new technique for seeing the echo of supernovas from the past...

It is amazing where an encounter at the counter of Starbucks can take you I need your love 1. Leave with me, don’t waste your life With alpha males and trophy wives And the lies they weave Lets use my soul for rocket fuel And fly our rocket to the moon Where the air is free Ch I need your...

Lets try this I’ve got a man alone standing near a red car. He is too close just to be passing, but his body language suggests the car isn’t his. Anyone see my man by the car, and raise him to spy? Stalker? Traffic cop? Something else???? Chip in please maybe he'll talk to us all and find...

When you write a strong character/narrative based song do your work from the narrative or do you build the character and let them speak to you? OK going off on a schizophrenic moment let me clarify. Ibsen the playwright, use to create characters then have ‘tea parties’ in his head to see what...

Comments much appreciated Autumn Leaves Riff Vs.1 I’ve been riding this motorcade just like a Kennedy Feeling I can not escape a tragic destiny Then you go of like a bouncing bomb, Bouncing away from me Heart-stopping explosions, then we’re just a memory Pre-Ch The trees go bare, when your...

Is the SansAmp Classic really worth the 50% more in cost of the GT2 version? I want Amp/mic modelling so I then can add compression into my Korg D32 - to get a more 'real sound'. I am usually in a 'no mic live amp situation' (we live on top of each other here in Hong Kong) and if I use amp...

It has got a bit of a Paul Weller 'Wildwood' feel to it, but because it is largely in Am (with a G to C kind of bass feel) it could also go a bit RnB in an Am7 with a nice bass/drum groove. Mid8 goes to Cm/Gm then resolves back A - D7 and to the G to C bass thing. Please comment Butterflies...
