We have been sold out to iPhone camera shots and fingerpaints.

we just need to pick up the convo and content. no selling out imo. if arts picks up the traffic great, but if not even the music goes away. with the arts or without them, we can keep this forum alive. lets go.

I have this ebb & flow of most of my life's passions. I range from complete obsession to total disinterest. After a terrible experience with a "Party Gig" a few weeks ago (I'll never play another such event), I am in the down cycle for all things Music.

If I wind up purchasing that recording equipment I'll quickly return to manic levels.

omg omg omg I just discovered this forum!

What was terrible about the party gig?

I agree. More threads would be a good thing imo. I would make more but they edit my thread titles, so I assume the higher ups don't like my ideas.

Kids.

Bob Dylan got the Medal of Freedom today (among other people)

Bob Dylan is the greatest lyricist of all time imo. I remember when I first discovered his music. I was 17-18 and was blown away by his words. Years and years have pasted bye and I still love listening to his music.

He deserves all the recognition he gets

So I spent an amazing night with an incredibly beautiful girl who cheated on her bf with me ... I actually met her bf and smoked a blunt with him but she told him I was gay. She's like exactly like me only a girl. She's bi, kinky and slutty, we both get off on each other fooling around with other people, like the same music, she's an incredibly talented photographer ...

So she's been with this guy for like 5 months and they were planning on getting married but as I understand it, he was yelling his x's name in his sleep asking if they were gonna have sex, and he still talks to her and I guess she talks **** about the girl I'm talking about.

She's ****ing drug running for some mexican drug dealer.

anyway so now I'm all ****ed up about this god damn girl now. I wanna be with her but she's still with that guy I smoked a blunt with who is actually an ok guy but chronically depressed and suicidal and ****, and idk if it could work with her or not, partly because she has kids.



sigh

I feel like true ****ing happiness is impossible for me

It is a good start. Now turn it into lyrics and set it to music and you've got a hit.

The goal posts always move. Just put forth some effort and try to smile.

sounds healthy.

As I mentioned earlier, I've got a line on some really good analog recording equipment including a 16 track R2R and several DAT Decks. Essentially I could set up a complete analog studio for about 1/4th (or less) of what it would cost to purchase each component separately. I've been planning on setting up a studio with both analog and digital capabilities. I think I'm going to take a shot at this gear. Do any of you guys have experience in recording with analog gear and then doing a final mix down from 16 tracks to digital?

Nick Cave is so bad ass

they're gonna play this when I die imo

You might start a separate thread if no one answers imo.

I have no experience or knowledge in this field...

Are you going?

im excited to go but my usual friends to see phish with aren't going so i'm flying solo for this one

I can't wait for Shellac's new album next year imo

Anyone know companies that employ tabbers/transcribers?
Arobas/mysongbook were impressed in their opinion but no positions currently available

That would be a pretty cool job imo
Since "official" sheet music even has almost always ridiculous mistakes, people clearly suck at this
