    Electric Pussycat - original glam rock (no, it's not about that)

    The bass is too far back to lock in with the drums - it should match the bass drum at least. The quiet vocal needs something - vol or clarity? MUCH improved though VHS.

    Weed + Music

    UK punk was, originally, based on alcohol as they rejected "drugs" as part of the hippy/dinosaur thing but they quickly embraced uppers and then, through Sick Sydney, heroine chic nose dived the people and the music. Weed makes most people relaxed and they therefore feel creative though the...

    Dr. Luke's tent booth

    His wasn't a tentative step into POP. He embraced the tentacles of Brittney's Eurosvengali.

    i'm so lonesome i could cry

    I goofed Don Gibson did Oh, Lonesome Me - it's a bit more Honky Tonk verging on Brownsville.

    JDOD, It can be tuned as a bass (that was my hope before buying one) but it's a bit low. It can also be tuned to the top 4 strings of a guitar. No rules...

    Minerman - COOL STUFF mate. JDOD - cello isn't really tricky - it's about practice. Almost everything but holding the bow is relatively simple. Hearing the notes can be hard if you're as cloth eared as I am BUT I make sure I tune properly and I've used dot markers for positions for the last 15...

    Bulls Hit, I've only just found the post and it's 10.15pm meaning I have to head for bed so I can catch the 6.40am bus tomorrow. I'll work on the lyric tomorrow evening for you & send it via PM.

    do old analog 4 tracks have any creative uses besides recording?

    I don't add seasoning, (salt & pepper), when cooking. I don't use salt particularly because my wife would add a huge amount of salt to her meal BEFORE tasting and I, personally, don't put salt on anything on my plate other than roast potatoes. Tape pulls a unique performance? - Well EVERY...

    i'm so lonesome i could cry

    It sounds RIGHT and yes, your voice is in this particular pocket - well done. I bought the Don Gibson single of this in about 68.

    Llano del Rio - Acoustic country from an inveterate punk.

    Any song that name checks Aldos Huxley is cool by me - then adding Esperanto - well :Thta granda de mi," Nice recording - the uke is cool almost mandoline stuff happening too. There're some spots where the ;lyrics are less clearly heard by deaf me than in otehrs. Apart from that ĝi estas tute bona.

    Clarify the term "Drum Overheads"

    I, sometimes, find myself wondering about the intent behind the word "troll'. Is the intention "trawl" because it would fit? Is the intention the critter who used to live under the bridge and harrass the rather gruff trio of billygoats, (and where were the nanny goats may I ask?),? I took OH...

    Llano del Rio - Acoustic country from an inveterate punk.

    Bubba, I'm in the midst of listening to three LPs that arrived by post yesterday arvo: Stooges Metallic KO, John Cale Honi Soir & his Music for a New Society. So far the 1st 2 sound mint as well as sounding great because of the music. I'll listen to your track tomorrow morning - sorry.

    New tune, yeah!

    You have a cute bottom - end - KC. It's always fat & round but not mushy. I LOVE the title. The synth is cool string cheese. I didn't want it to end. This is as far as I've gone in terms of acquiring gear in the synth world...

    Tad, I like the Jazzmaster & Fender Deluxe best. I didn't like the high input at all.

    Four and twenty is a pie brand in Australia. here's a cross elevation of one/// Pasties are the signature dish of Cornwall - Aussies who go to the UK go to Cornwall for a pasty. If I were to make a guitar it'd either be copy of either a Fender Mustang or a Mosrite like my Guyatone. If I made a...

    cold, cold ground

    The sanre placement makes the mix seem lopsided - hang on - no, the vocal is in about the same place. One side seems to be very light on. Mix wise I can't say because I hear a lean. Song wise I really dig it.

    Vocal tracking techniques that might help with pitch?

    I can't sing - really. When I'm in tune my voice is of the unpleasant, annoying type and when I'm off pitch it's almost the same but REALLY unpleasant and REALLY annoying. I'm not fishing for comments to the contrary as I have a realistic awareness of my own limitations. I've avoided singing as...
