& I totally get the grunge voibe (esp. w/ the wah-wah in full effect). But calling KH & Zee Wave FOXCORE, to me, is like calling The Ramones MALL PUNK. Ah, semantics schemantics - the album kicks ass, QED.

Apparently they've been remastered with (at least for Clara Bow) new bass parts.
Going to the Sheffield show tonight (Mon). Permanent hearing loss is eagerly anticipated. Though I'm disappointed by the lack of publicity for this tour - somebody posted on the throwingmusic board that the Liverpool show was practically deserted.
I played Golden Ocean to my boss at work last week, casually mentioned the Sheffield show, and he immediately ordered me to use the company credit card to buy tickets for everyone in the office. Further evidence of the awesomeness of Kristin's powers.

haha no i'm not in 50 Foot Wave...I was in the local Mpls opener Maps of Norway.
In any case, the show went FANTASTIC.
Ned, a guy from the Current promo dept who was there doing there said Maps of Norway reminded him of the Chameleons, and I thought of you : )
Pretty much totally full....got to meet Kristen and the bass player dude (can't remember his name) who I think was in Throwing Muses as well....very nice folks.
People seemed to like us, and were at least paying attention and standing up front, which is nice for an opening band. Had a lot of fun.

I was way too slow in getting a copy of Golden Ocean, finally did so last month. Predictably fab.
I think I prefer David N's drumming, but the 50 Foot guy flails away most enjoyably.

The band will be offering FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files as well as hi-resolution mp3 files. The band is also encouraging fans to seed BitTorrents and set up CD burning trees to ensure that people without time or technology may also receive the free music.
The band states its goal as simply to circumvent the 'money cycle' and get high quality (free) recordings into the hands of a maximum number of people for evaluation at their leisure.[...]The band's manager, Billy O'Connell, says, "The capacity for reaching new ears with unknown music has become so diminished that we felt we had to try a new approach. It has become prohibitively expensive to reach people via traditional marketing means (radio, press, retail promotion) - lately, CD distribution costs and even touring costs have gone through the roof.
"This project is simply attempting to tap the power of the network -- we're asking individuals for their enthusiasm rather than their money. It's an experiment we're eager to see play out."
The band's founder, Kristin Hersh, explains, "Money has so polluted the music world that my overwhelming urge right now is to divorce money from recorded music. Over the last 2 years we've been relying on standard 'industry' channels to help us educate listeners about 50 Foot Wave and we've met resistance every step of the way -- caused by little other than money -- and to an extent I've never seen before.
"So we're sending free recordings off into the world to do their work. If people enjoy these songs and are excited by them, we ask that they share them with others. The music business is about fame and huge profits -- egos and greed -- music itself, is not."

So obviously there are like 50 years worth of other bands and songs that could have done this for me, but listening to Power + Light pretty much nonstop over the last few weeks just inspired me to my first fuzzbox purchase.

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
Just a Little Big Muff. I'm on a pretty tight budget these days. But the fields of fuzz from this album are just impossible to resist and I want to play in them too.
― beachville, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 19:19 (twelve years ago) link
lbm is a great muff imo. some will say otherwise but it's kept a few pricier boutique muffs off my board. between the tone and sustain knobs there are a lot of great and classic sounds in there. smooth sustainy gilmour lead fuzz, massive wall of pumpkins fuzz, trashy dime store black keys fuzz etc.
there are a few distinct flavors of fuzz and iirc kh used a roland bee-ba a lot on that record. discontinued now and hard to find but if you want to explore more fuzz flavors there are now several good versions available from independent builders.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Thursday, 2 February 2012 01:04 (twelve years ago) link
According to the guy who recorded them, she primarily used a Quadrafuzz, which is a build-your-own kinda thing.
