    What should I do with Louie?

    I think it could use a little variety. It's kind of a story telling song so you can get away with is being a little longer. Instead of doing verse chorus verse chorus, you should try doing verse verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus or something with little prechoruses in between and stuff...

    a new band....

    the songs are older. The new ones have a lot more variety to them and sound more alive. Also, the guitar player bought a new amp and is recording everything mic'd now (not sure what he did before). Also updated the software and mics since the recording...Hopefully I'll be doing some more...

    hands...soooo....cold

    yeah - utilities are hooked up,we COULD turn the heat on, but it seems like it would be a waste to turn it on, only to practice for a feww hours three times a week.

    hands...soooo....cold

    So, its practically impossible to play bass with cold hands. So when you guys are gigging, or practicing, what ways have you found to keep your hands warm?

    what about this chorus is it catchy

    Its a cooler line if it's about someone else your writing about in first person. You should just hint at that in the song sometime. Like it's lame to whine about your legs getting blown off in a song, but if your metallica and the song is "one" written about someone else in first person...

    i suck at coming up w/original sounding stuff

    I have no idea why - but Im always inspired by They Might Be Giants. And my style isn't at all like theirs.

    You gotta hear this kid

    Yeah, this is his band's most unfavorite song for that reason. It's the only one that's very popish sounding. Most of their stuff is written in minor keys. But they predict this one will be their most popular - and I would probably agree.

    How to write?

    Lyrics are the hardest part for everyone. My suggestion is to READ some lyrics of bands that you like. For example, I love the lyrics in "tuck me in" by alkaline trio. I think they're genious, so I used them as a model for a few of my songs. I didn't rip anything off, but I tried to copy the...

    You gotta hear this kid

    They played a live shwo tonight and I recorded it on minidisc. I'll post a clip... Here's the best part - the drummer's dad was at the show and told them that if they wanted to go to the studio, he would front the bill!

    Does someone sell an ide minidisk drive?

    I saw some mindisk drives on Ebay a while ago and I've been kicking myself ever since because they only went for about $120. As far as internal dries go, your going to have a really hard time finding them and your going to pay a butt load. If your interested in recording digitally I would...

    How to write?

    I'm much like Mike. First I'll come up with a cool chord progression. I usually think it will be the verse, but it may end up being the chorus. I won't worry about the lyrics too much at this point, I just keep playing the riff over and over, and humming to find a good melody. While I'm...

    You gotta hear this kid

    Yeah he actualyl plays is with a band - they have two guitars and bass and drums and distortion and stuff. He just played it for me on the acoustic so I could get a recording. I'l be recording their show this friday and maybe I'll post a sample!
