What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

Here

we have a live set coming up on WPRB this Wednesday on the jon solomon show. http://www.wprb.com

I finally recorded vocals for this 'plucky duck' song, it might be the first time I have used a swear? it is a song about libertarians mostly.

Fuk, I just heard the mix from the PRB show - the recording was completely butchered - it's like you only hear half a mix. ;_;

m bison, I dig those panned background vocal bits, it's sweet on headphones (and weed).

And that's a bummer hurting - was it mixed live and recorded to a single stereo track then?

yup

You can basically hear vocals and lead guitar really well (and lead guitar is mostly single-note lines that sound weird by themselves), the bass ok, the steel guitar a bit, the other guitar (which plays all the meaty chord parts) not at all, and in my drums you can barely hear the snare.

Here's a couple of my tracks, the most recent is more of a demo (the rest are mixed & mastered, newest being "Grunge regurgitation")

Sounds better than I initially thought - not the greatest mix but I think the vocals come through really nicely.

That is kind of a weird snareless mix, but I don't think it sounds too bad. I just listened to the tune on your myspace, by the way, and I like it a lot.

This is such a great thread. I get to hear so much great music from you music-making types! As a special shout out though: Andi Mags, you are a genius.

xpost - They had the overhead mic pointed straight backwards to the wall because the mic stand was broken -- that may explain the lack of snare. ps thanks

I've just stuck up 4 demos on MySpace. They're not really finished and some of them are silly sketches, but I like them. Do you? http://www.myspace.com/mightysandyheathtransmitters

Listening to Andi Mags now - nice stuff!

Me doing overdubs on a track...

And finally... Four new tracks up on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/exdetectives

sounds good

I can't remember if I posted this before but we added three live tracks to our myspace, including a cover of Hangin' on the Telephone:

Oh and we're live on the radio tomorrow at about 1 p.m. CDT if anyone wants to listen. The station streams live, so you can listen on your computer. The info is in the newest blog posting on the above myspace page.

added you n/a

btw, all, if you get a friend request from Eclipse Music, that's me in store form.

GDDMNIT.

The above post is me forgetting which email address I actually use when not making joeks on nu-ILX.

new old song, "Sirens" up:

Last track of the four (new one)is just me and my jazzmaster - recorded yesterday. A bit rough, but....

http://www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

song is 'baby when i found it', 10 extra bonus points to whomever can guess the sample

No clue what the sample is, but it's a cool track. I especially like the spacy stuff at the end.

Sounds good m bison! reckon it needs a vocal (preferably vocodered or really prince-ish) and it could be a hit.

We played our three newest songs live on the radio a couple of weeks ago, they are now up on our myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/thefakefictionsband. I'm especially happy with "Radical Movement."

I got drunkish once and made this 10-minute noise barrage in FL Studio (which I chopped in half, putting one half in each channel) but I'm too embarrassed to post it.

IMM HAS NO SHAME

There's no judgment here. This is a safe place.

Oh my god, it's giving me a headache listening to it and it's EXTREMELY loud/distorted and is simply the byproduct of 3 shots of rum with blue-raspberry lemonade kool-aid. Extremely fun to make, but a chore to actually listen to. and the channels are not sync'd properly.

to be honest I think I was trying to completely rip off of Yo La Tengo's "Spec Bebop"

Found a new home for rap beat depository:

One of the songs uses cowbells pitched down to sound like steel drums (probably the only drum sounds I've actually recorded myself).

Hey, I made a new track - "These Once Were Men". I'm gonna add maybe some better drums and a few more lead vocals, but I'm pleased with how it is so far.

My band is going in the studio in two weeks! Been waiting for this for, like, five years.

Which band?

Is the 0ptimistic still a going concern?

Digd0wn.

0ptimistic has not been very active at all but is still technically a thing. They played a show a few weeks ago but I had a gig with another band and couldn't do it.

The drums (cough) "need work". Like, a lot of work.

The other night I got a bunch of people round and had a drunken jam - people hitting pots and pans, me on guitar, flatmate on bass and a particularly good drummer friend of ours. Made a track totally on the spot, drunk out of our minds. Great fun really. It's up now as "Belligernet Cnt Jam 1" at The Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters site. Have a listen, it's drunk and a good laugh.

That was excellent!

haha, cheers. Seriously?!

I like the distortion.

haha, cheers. Seriously?!

Yeah I'm serious. I can't hear what the singer is singing though, apart from one word which happens to be "motherf***er"! The distortion is at just the right level.

That was me singing. I was more or less yelping syllables over whatever it was we were making up. It was all recorded on the internal mic of an MP3 player, but it was pretty much as distorted as it sounds on the recording.

The bit with the "all right you motherfuckers" is an "introducing the band" bit, except I asn't actually saying anything other than "we've got duh on duh, duh over there on muuuh and me on mUUAAHH!"

Listening to Andi Mags now - nice stuff!

I hadn't checked this thread for awhile. Thank you. Whoa. I'm working on some new stuff lately, so I will post more here when it's up.

We have done another drunk jam, and now it has its own site. http://www.myspace.com/belligerentaunts
