Loyalty Day will be playing a concert to raise funds for an AIDS Marathon participant (more details forthcoming). Wednesday, Nov. 10th <a href="http://calendar.yahoo.com/YYY,a4e90f/srt,0/parksideshows/?v=0&t=1100088000&pv=1">AIDS Marathon Benefit</a> <a href="http://www.theepa...

Jim explicitly said the words of the people who disagreed with him were in fact pissing him off and frustrating him. But anyway, Erik, your point about what the discussion ultimately boils down to, etc. is totally valid, and written in a completely clear non-flammable way. Why didn't you just say th...

I would be frustrated too if I wanted to actually discuss an idea, and all I got in response were attempts at witty putdowns and opinions given with little to no explanation for the rationale behind them. Or people who basically say that since some people can enter a good song in a week, everyone ca...

Personally I don't really care if we ever get longer deadlines or not, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. It appears that the updates, etc. happen somewhat manually at the moment, so it isn't like some automated process would have to have a different, more complicated schedule. If the co...

Sven, I thought the mix in your song sounded awesome and I liked the song a lot, too. And no, you do not sound like John Mayer. Though in that "You're so smooth" line at the very beginning you do actually kinda sound like Josh Woodward. ;) I hear what JoS was saying, though, about that one...

Got a place where I could hear that tune? My usual sources have failed me...

Early next year is actually better for me, not that that necessarily matters. Maybe January 15th? 22nd? 29th?

Wow, I would have a blast trying to do either some backup vocals or lead guitar. Tomorrow I'm supposed to buy an all-tube Marshall combo amp, so I may be itching to do some shredding in the near future.

Your Pac-Man sound effect solo is awesome, Puce!!

SF!LA was awesome, so I'd definitely be interested in another one. And I'd be happy to play guitar for some people, though I'm a lot better at that if I get more than a few hours notice about it. ;) So Ethan, if you want to play a plugged-in set and want some backup, I can offer bass or guitar, and ...

Ah, thanks. I hadn't noticed that thread, since I hadn't looked in that category. The category's description, "Announcements of changes to the forums", didn't really make it clear to me that there was also a thread in it with a post about the basic initial features/parameters/limits of the...

So, just to clarify, it looks like we've got a mailbox limit of 50 private messages?

Is it kind of like "Dare To Be Stupid"? I didn't think that was a knock-off of a particular DEVO song, just a take on their style. I could be wrong, though.

Now there's a picture that gives me some real hope for the youth of America.

So JB, not to be too annoying and whiny or anything, but since the "(winner)" label isn't showing up properly, can you just tell us who got the most "best" votes? The suspense is killing me!

I can't tell who the winner is either. Last time it said "(winner!)" next to the winner's name. That was nice...

Anyway, congrats everybody. Lots of great music in this fight.

hit and run revues astrolamb this doesn't sound like it's in stereo. is it? you could use two tracks of rhythm guitar, panned apart. the drums are pretty weak. the singer fits the style, and as others have said sounds a bit like jello biafra, so i like that. the music isn't rocking like the dead ken...

Glenn, I think I may try to cover that song. Another cover or two and I'll have an EP of covers or something...

Loyalty Day: What I Liked: Your voice and sound. What I Didn’t Like: Do you have a different sound? It seems like your style has a limited range. I know you probably wrote this with the intent that the music and subject would clash. I would have loved to hear you do this “Hard”. Thanks for the revi...

I'm interested too! I've got a couple things on my plate right now, but perhaps later this month I'll be free to give this a go. Let's keep an eye out for good titles.

Another essential way to make your guitar sound really thick when you record is to at least double track it. People like Weezer layer on many many tracks of every guitar part in their songs. If you've got one chugging rhythm guitar part, the standard way to beef it up is to play it twice on differen...

I may try to do an entry for this, thanks to the generously far off deadline. Also, reve, Nels Cline is my guitar idol of the moment. I've seen him a few times out here in the Bay Area over the last couple years, and he's amazing! Now if only I could get an Electro Harmonix 16 Second Digital Delay p...
