I never thought about what the psychology behind "cat people" might be, but that makes sense. Dogs, on the other hand, are forthright. If a dog could talk, he'd say, "I love you, I'm excited to see you, I'm going to shit in the yard. If you piss me off, I might shit in the house." If a cat...

Must you humiliate me in a dobro thread? :)

You got it, buddy. Don't get nervous... even I'm qualified to answer this one. Just don't ask me any questions about proper technique.

The NBA has been unwatchable since '93, so this isn't terribly surprising. And let us keep in mind the obvious fact that a glut of people participating in some common behavior should never serve as a reason in and of itself to somehow validate that behavior. Stated differently... "People are...

No self-respecting man is a "cat person". That's just common sense, right?

I don't believe in "rules of thumb". However, here is a rule of thumb: If you are ever in doubt as to whether to leave the gunshots in your song or take them out... ALWAYS LEAVE THEM IN. Silly and artistic aren't mutually exclusive, you know. You may be surprised to hear that even I have...

One of the first things I learned when I started recording is how to give myself a headache by boosting high frequencies that I couldn't even hear. It was actually interesting to learn that such a thing was a genuine hazard of mixing music. I would mix something, boost the hell out of the...

Don't mistake boredom for energy! :) Songs like this take no time at all. I did four Misfits songs all at once when I did this one, and they were all completely done within 3 hours. Part of the reason has to be that I only use my DP-24 to do everything in the process, and it's a limited...

Song is really good. If I'm going to nitpick, I'll bitch about the bass tone. It wasn't bad, but I thought it lacked attack and something else that I don't know how to describe. Good playing all around. The singer has a great voice, but something about the way he sings... is "stiff" the...

Sweeping over one shoulder, like Nicole Kidman! That's not Michelob Ultra, is it? I guess it would explain that look on your face.

One of the best "outros" I've ever heard on an album. Perhaps the best.

I didn't mean anything by that, obviously. I just like to say "slumming". A few years ago I remember seeing a few guys wearing shirts that said, "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKIN' FUCK". I forget if it was in Jersey or NYC. What kind of fucking moron would wear a shirt that said that? And they didn't...

First things first: As for the song... I don't know what StarCraft is. I assume it's along the lines of Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Search, Star Jones, Star child (Paul Stanley), etc. Since you know how to play guitar, there's no viable reason for this thing to sound like something Geddy...

Slumming in the mixing clinic, eh? Good to have you back. I await the link. One thing I've found covering Misfits songs is that when singing them, even if you consciously set out not to, by the end of the song, you will find yourself doing a Danzig impersonation to some extent. Everyone...

I didn't know what a Wilhelm scream was until I heard one on youtube just now. I had to laugh when I heard it... at :23 that was just me kind of "charging up" before I yelled "GO" a second later (obviously there's an effect on that vocal). That's some quality ad-libbing, eh? :) After reading...

Someone bought me a bobblehead for some reason years ago and I have it in my office at work. Whenever I'd have a meeting with someone new they'd ask if it's a professional wrestler. I eventually threw it in a drawer in the hopes that it would get people out of my office faster. I take my...

I agree with this. I don't recall hearing a sound quite like this on a non-professional recording. Yeah, what is that? It almost sounded like the high end of a digeridoo! :) Though we have permission to make up our own metaphors, I am just going to go with the literal meaning of the...

Not bad. After hearing several songs you've put up here, I've found myself wondering what the hell you must look like. That you can make someone wonder that is probably evidence in itself of talent. *That does not mean I want to know what you look like. **TURTLE SONG? Cat song was...

A couple weeks ago when I knew I had about 45 minutes to play the drums I hit the "record" button and played some Misfits songs, one after the other. I determined which ones they would be in the 4 minutes I was smoking a cigarette beforehand. I looked through the song titles on the mp3 player...

So this is where you've been? Off writing 20-second riffs that repeat? Oh well, at least it's not techno! The curse of having a better memory than I wish I did... I remember critiquing some other song he did a few months ago where he said he made it under just such circumstances as you...
