Hello

Cool Edit Pro is a great recording program and free, i use 1.2 for mastering and multi-tracking. Its extremely basic and easy to use. Also i recommend Rhythm Rascal which is a pretty basic drum program where you can add your own drum sounds and edit the loose and evenness of the playing. I think i paid $10 and have never been disappointed.

good luck

kel ;D

It would be tough to make out a top 5. but "Paint It, Black" will always be number one because when the girls walk by in their summer clothes I too have to turn my head until the darkness goes.

It's the one with the yellowish cover and mick in a wierd veil thing. ratoonie said:

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heart Breaker) off of Goat's Head Soup is one of my many favorites. It seems like I'm relatively alone with this one, but it oozes trash to me.

Top five Stones tracks 1. Child of the Moon - allways loved it since i was little 2. Sing this song altogether ( see what Happens) - love it because there is a lot going on. 3. Everybody Needs somebody to Love - I love the almost reggae bass line at one point 4. Empty Heart - sooooooo catchy 5. 2120 South Michegan Ave - a great instrumental.

Citadel - a great track from "Their Satanic Majestys Request" 1967. ratoonie said:

I bought the Cocksucker Blues lp at a record convention back when I was 15 or 16, when single discs were $5 and doubles were $10. The Stones owed one more single to their record company at the time(maybe Abcko?) and they could get out of their contract, so they gave them something vile and thoroughly unreleaseable..."Cocksucker Blues." Side One "Cocksucker Blues"; "Brown Sugar"(Eric Clapton on guitar and Al Kooper on french horn);"Jumping Jack Flash"; "Love in Vain"; "Sweet Virginia" Side Two "As Tears Go By"(in Italian); "Exile on Main St. Blues"; "You Can't Always Get What You Want"; "Midnight Rambler" ratoonie said:

Hey ev'rybody.

I'm very new here but have loved the podcasts for a while. Hence I want to try my hand at doing one myself. I have a lot of good music from podsafe but I have a lot of classic stuff I want to play too (Monks, Sonics, Screamin' Jay possibly). I have all this stuff on Cd and iTunes so would it be illegal slap those up there?

Many thanks,

Fashdad.

Here is a vid with instructions for some Dances. There is a good DVD (Twist by Ron Mann) about the history of dances. I like it a lot.

This is a great discussion by the way. I was reading in my local paper (for Vashon, WA) that they cancelled the high school prom due to low ticket sales. Why low ticket sales? Because the school banned grinding, which isn't even dancing as far as I'm concerened. I can't understand how it is that kids can't learn real dancing, even Washington DC go go styles. I'm starting to think that watching Shindig and Hullabaloo should be a school requirement.


As long as it isn't "Hootenany."

The maximum wattage on a guitar amp is a little more important than that of a bass amp. Guitarists like power tube distortion, and ass such need to run their amp at near maximum volume to get "tone" out of them. Many bassists either want no distortion, or use a pedal to get their sound.
That said, a head an 4X10 may still be a bit too aggressive for the situation, but a 50 watt combo with a single twelve-inch speaker would probably work quite well. And if you can beg/borrow/steal an Ampeg portaflex with a single twelve-inch speaker, you'll be in heaven.

oops - i'm connected to my drummer's profile... doesn't matter! BALDO said:

Hi,

For practising and small gigs, I use a 100 Ampeg reclinable AMP (can't remember which one precisely). It's dead good but only if the venue's big, obviously you need to mic up or DI.

I also used to - before it got stolen backstage during a gig - have a presonus pre-amp (blue one with just two knobs gain and volume) - that works really well to give it a kick - increases definition as well as warming up the grain (dunno how that works in terms of logic, but that's the effect it seemed to have - eh)...

We play 60's garage and that's the amp I take on tour.

Hi,
We're looking at getting a bass amp to go with our 'quiet' garage/powerpop combo. The cheaper the better. After combing the net I still can't totally get my head around the wattage required for our needs - it looks like 100 is best but if I can get away with less please let me know.

Our drums are a cocktail kit - so very quiet compared to a normal kit and the guitar is through a 5w Valve through a 12" speaker - cranked and fuzzed it is a good match for the drums. The bass is an old soviet plank with weak pickups - probably will run it through a bass big muff.
Would 50W bass amp be too little for this situation?

Thanks!

hey! i recently started listening to the podcasts again to find that my band the retrospex is in the intro! makes me feel special! bye!

I know that surf music doesn't generally have vocals, but the few surf punk bands I've heard seem to. I just wanted to see if anyone knows of any other surfpunk bands to check out....other than agent orange of course!:)

And Tom Waits on the radio the whole time. Perfection. ixnayray said:

Yeah, Mystery Train is a classic. Joe Strummer, Steve Buschemi and Screamin' Jay Hawkins in the same movie? You can't fail!

Alex Patton said:

It really did suck. The actor that played Curtis just mumbled a bunch and danced like Boris Karloff.
Joe Strummer was really good in Mystery Train though, especially love the scene where he shoots Rockets Redglare in the liquor store.

Here is an unheard version of a band I played in called The Get Lost (featuring Gerry Mohr of The Miracle Workers) doing our take of "Guess I'm Falling In Love "
