just got back from the Wolfmother show tonight and reporting in here; they may not be the most heaviest band in the world but I thought they sounded great!  Guitarist is playing through two Vox combos; so not the ultimate full stack or anything but I don't think anyone cared.  Bassist's Ampeg 810s backline had the bass distortion that only tube amps get.

Has she ever played in a band with a drummer?

Was she constantly asking you guys to turn down?

Yes, she plays in this band.



And no, she didn't ask us to turn it down because she was a bit uncomfortable and we're just 2 dudes jamming it out hard. One of the reasons I want her in the band is that she has some more experience playing synth than the previous dude. Hell, she has experience, he didn't. So now we have to pay more attention to arranging the jams which is good. She's still into it she said last night but will bring earplugs next time.

I dunno how big of rooms yall are playing your full stacks in, but in a three piece treated jam room at the rehearsal studio today,

and I can tell you that my Orange 212PPC closed back cab's bass chugging response and Black Arts Pharaoh sludge was so sludgy and pummeling it creates hurt in your body if you turn it past like 6 in volume!  its hard to see a need for any more bass in that room really

then I posted my ad on Craigslist:

Be careful, that ad could constitute entrapment if you end up making an arrest.

trust me, not many responses for this genre of music unfortunately :(

lots of government employees and truckdrivers etc that cant endanger their careers etc

Don't forget the umlaut in nü metal. It's what gives the "u" the Ooooo sound. Unless you meant "nuh" metal, which I've never heard of but is probably much better.

cant wait to get my sleeveless vest with band patches!!!

then I will post a pic of myself wearing it in my craigslist ad! 

I just got contacts, so you dont need to worry about my emo ironic thick rim glasses clashing with my trucker lookz

Metal and Beer

I'm pretty sure Buddy Holly emo-thick Instabilly glasses don't clash with merch metal Kreator vests, especially in Awesomstin TX  ;D

Weezer had impeccable taste in gear... just sayin'.

lol at child of Gwar!!! 

somehow for me its gonna turn out looking like pieces of "flare" like in the movie "Office Space"


Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.
Joanna: Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it.

Well, fuck Ableton. That shit made me want to punch somebody. Just make the shit so there's no latency, don't make me go through tutorials and half a dozen yoga positions to discover that there will be a delay no matter what. Sheeesh. Here's to my second drink of the afternoon, a packed bowl, and nostalgia for when I had a home studio with ProTools that worked just fine on its own.

3 days until the big move back to Ohio.  I'm using all my vacation pay while I'm fixing up the old house.  Saying my good byes to all my local friends.  Going to the neighborhood watering hole every night.  When I get to Ohio the new job starts right up.  No time to unpack.  I need to plug the guitar in as I haven't been able to in quite a while.

I'm a natural born riff rocker.  However, these days I've been writing more Boris-esque, longer format shit.  I had a song up here one time and it got 0 hits from youse guys, where is the love I ask you.  :'(
