How to get that Karen Carpenter sound (?)

We all know that people who are mean ... get BANNED around here. And I just felt that I would be more in keeping with the new spirit of "nice" that has lately permeated this forum.

Maybe you could lighten up a bit yourself! :D Join in on the new spirit of HR.com ! Nice people. Civil discussions. Kindness. Supporting and caring for one another. You may have noticed that we even have a CAT forum, for those of us who want to talk about our fond feelings towards cute and cuddly creatures of the world!

Don't forget to smile :D And be happy!

Sounds like the makings of a wonderful 1950s "social guidance" film that they would play in schools. You missed your calling, I think.
 
Hi Daisy,

Could you please come up with something that has some real comedic value? Chessrock was much more original. This Daisy thing is stupid and old already.

Thanks

I don't get it, Daisy is an alias or something? Why would anyone even bother to do that?

Daisy is the current alter ego of the guy that used to run under the alter ego "chessrock". Chessrock recently got banned from this BBS for acting the exact opposite of "Daisy", and this is how he's trying to sneak his way back in.

Will someone get banned from here for having buttsex? I'm really worried.
 
Harvey's got a great point. OK, like when's he ever said anything lame???

Anyway, the arrangements were perfect and the recording production was top notch in its day. Really, they could get very good recordings on that equipment, as was demonstrated by the Beatles Love thingy they did for Cirque.
 
Daisy, the answer is simple. First, get Burt Bacharach to write for you. Then get a major label to provide you with top notch engineering and post-production. Let go of that thing about your mother and eat the damned big mac. Then- ignore all the conceited rockers with delusions of grandeur who want to bash your recording because they can't sell a hundred copies of their badly written, recorded, and produced vanity project. Next, collect your Grammy, hire a good accountant to count all of your money, go see your brother's hairdresser (he rocks), and take a trip to the islands.-Richie
 
I'm not sure of the song you are speaking of, but I bet it started with great analog gear

Where does this theory arise from??
 
I thought Richard did the writing.

Bacharach and Hal David wrote Close to You.

Dont expect too much. Chesscock aint exactly a rocket scientist.:rolleyes:
 
If you can't cope with REAL carpenter's music listen to the If I were A Carpenter Compilation so you can come to grips with the fact that the melodies were gorgeous & then listen to their own recordings to hear those meoldies in their natural setting - richly harmonised that is - within a pristine recording of lovely, if overly wholesome & sentimental, arrangements.
I like the idea about the undecoded Dolby effect - I might go retro & try that.
 
I dunno, last Bacharach tune I heard had the lyric "I hope you don't get hit in the rear" :eek:
