Can anyone recommend such a unit? I'm looking for something like http://www.doepfer.com/pf.htm but more readily available in the U.S. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'll have to go with AT on the left, the Shure on the right. Man, I had to drag out the Q-tips for this one.

I have one rule And if you break it by putting me to sleep, I won't be able to listen to the rest of your song.

I bought an American Deluxe Tele a year ago from Musician's Friend. I'm still very happy with it. Of course without their return policy I wouldn't have sprung for it sight unseen.

Tony Levin rules, but why drag him into this? Larry Fast is also credited on some of Gabriel's albums for bass...synthesizer bass. Also, I just remembered that Ray Manzarek filled in the bass parts for The Doors using (gasp!) an electric organ.

real guitar, fake bass > Now what would Peter Gabriel have to say about that, let alone Phil Collins ...or The Fixx, or Jan Hammer, or Parliament Funkadelic, or Talking Heads, or...

Teddie, are you still using the SM58 for vocals?

Tin Drum is also one of my all time favorites. A friend gave me a live version of Japan performing "Art of Parties". It's so atonal yet it makes me want to shake my booty.

Iggy Pop? I actually like him a lot and I take a closer look at his songs because I think they have a great verse/chorus structure. His song bridges (when they occur) act as inspiration for helping me out of my writing rut sometimes. It's in there, I swear! :D A lot of the other hit songs...

Started electric guitar at 10 with about a year of lessons. Bass guitar around 15 when a band needed a bassist. Voice classes around 18. Starting to plink around on keyboards around 32.

I thought about it and . . . I have nothing to say. BTW, check out http://www.psycholaborations.com where the singer from The Smithereens will put your lyrics to music for a fee.

Didn't Tom Lehrer already cover the table in "The Elements" (to the tune of "Modern Major General")? I'm sure you've encountered a lot of wackos in your chem. dept. Why not write about them?

The only rule I've learned to follow is: Keep it interesting.

Guitar, bass, keys, vocals. Momma wouldn't let me play drums. :(

Superstition by Stevie Wonder

So all of the books are completely useless? There are no useful tidbits in them on music production at all? School is completely useless? Have you been drinking again?

I had always thought that the songs of Kate Bush, David Sylvian, and Todd Rundgren had the most influence on the stuff I wrote, but when I play my stuff for friends they think it's Jan Hammer still stuck in Miami Vice or disco mode. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

Hey Krystof, that probably explains why I haven't been able to come up with melodies I like recently. I started playing guitar again very late last year after having not touched a guitar for almost 10 years. (Long story, mostly grad school, no prison.) Man, the more I think about it, the more...
