best worst idea: make music the way you did 20 years ago

(do I even still HAVE a copy of Impulse Tracker?)

I am tempted to take up this challenge…

In another thread, this looks really neat. https://polyend.com/tracker/

I have questions. Will the vocal melody be MIDI as well, or will the human provide it? Can the human replace a MIDI instrumental track with one played by a human (maintaining the notes as much as is physically possible on the instrument)? How much song structure should be kept? Is it acceptable for ...

Bob Mould is a national treasure.

Startin to get hot here. How are you all doing?

Liner notes. Come watch me make questionable decisions:

I'm addicted to watching your videos now. I hope you're happy.

I have mentioned it on irc, but these videos are probably my favorite part of this nur ein. It is a beautiful window into the creative mind.

I would have been so tempted by that Vox deal if it was available in the UK.

That’s funny. I hate all these regional restrictions in general, but of all things, the Vox deal not being available in the UK. Amusing.

Also to Lunkhead & irwin: I have an SG and I don't really like it... :\ but I don't really like Teles either, so you may enjoy the SG more than I do... other than the terrible neck dive mine suffers from (partly due to heavy neck/partly due to terrible strap button placement) even with "we...

I have always wanted an SG.

I am lusting after the Sequential Pro 3. Three oscillator mono/paraphonic synth with a super cool routing matrix and arpeggiator.

It seems the best song about chupacabras has already been made. I guess we can all go home.

Seriously, though, that is hard to top.

If you’ve never seen Richard Thompson’s 1000 Years of Popular Music, it’s well worth a listen.

first thing i thought of was the windows shutdown sound fx, i call dibs!

Calling Jim of Seattle… I smell a sequel.

I live in California. I have voted in every presidential election since 1992 (the first I was of legal age). I cannot recall a single election in which my vote had any bearing on the outcome.

I was going to say _maybe_ Clinton in ’92, but I just looked it up, and nope that wasn’t close either.

Rest in peace, Florian Schneider-Esleben. So far ahead of his time, I’m not even sure if the rest of us have caught up yet.

Is the 9th telegraphed or just gratuitous coloration?



It didn’t feel appropriate to put this on the other thread, but i love this tribute to a hell of a songwriter. Seriously, we’ll miss you Adam.

I’d say “rest in peace”, but I don’t think that’s what he’d have wanted. Instead I say peace be with his family and I hope he’s up there with a cocktail and a nine-mile long cigarette, hanging out with his brother and his cousin and his mom’s sisters. JKPDFQRmG_M Thanks not just for all the music bu...

That was really cool!

Also, it took me a stupid long time to get the “Air on a G string” joke. I am not a smart man.

Man, this is really sad. Such a great talent to lose so young.

As FoW sang once, “It’s not right, it’s not fair”

Rest in peace.

The best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. Rest in peace, Kenny.

I admit to having a soft spot for the movie Six Pack. And I will watch it tomorrow. And I will cry. and that is OK.

While it is strongly believed that e is disjunctive, I don’t believe it has yet been proven.

I claim RFC 2795 establishes prior art.
