you're right, it is a lovely sound. do you know the other sound i like that sounds cool as percussion... i've heard it in a shins song and also a song last year that i've now forgotten - acre maybe? the sound of a bouncing ping pong ball.

are you after a session typist to put more overdubs on the album? I can do @ 45 wpm!

haha

i remember a couple of years ago me & the bexta sat down with a sound effects cd and made all sorts of neat loops with various sounds, like ping pong balls and gunshots (great snare!) and stuff. problem is i don't know what happened to the loops we made and the sound effects cds belong to her ex.

I have a royal typewriter from 1914 which makes a fabulous clacky sound and my brother has two from the 1960's. If it weren't so damn heavy I'd post my down for you to use as it just sits under the bed at the moment.

hmm actually i wonder if my sister still has the one i bequeathed to her many years ago

yeah older ones have the nicer sound

best weird percussion loop I've heard lately = remix of "lean back" with the beat replaced by sampled "thwock!" and shoe-squeaking from a game of tennis!

all my mongrels don't dance
they just pull up their pants
and do the roc-a-way
so lean back
lean back
lean back
lean back

i like electric ones too.

the secretary in the cubicle behind me at the clerkship i did had an electric one for doing up envelopes etc and it took me about a week to work out what it was as i am now so unfamiliar with the sound. eventually the curiosity got the better of me and i had to poke my head over the partition to find out.

if the whole things-other-than-drums-as-percussion thing was handled in a less gimmicky way i'd think there was massive untapped scope there..

I don't think Aimee would be impressed if I sent it down with her :)

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:13 (eighteen years ago) link

haha probably not :)

vvvvwip click ding!

It actually came from savers in dandenong!

I will make a copy of that golden circles cd for her to give you though.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I could conceivably get copies of proper sound effects cd libraries from Nick - his dad works in AV.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:21 (eighteen years ago) link

cool thanks! xpost

All this talk of sound effects has me imagining you making some bo-selecta artful dodger garbage james.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:30 (eighteen years ago) link

haha unlikely. i don't think i'd use sound effects for anything other than percussion, possibly drone. it will all end up smothered with gauzy guitar and twee melodies

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Now that sounds more like it.

the Baker's Delight girls at my local usually fall into the inappropriately fanciable category too. there's one girl who has really big startled-looking eyes and rosy cheeks, and I always worry for a second that I've creeped her out before I realise she just looks like that.

d'you go! to Go! Team e-o?

(Mid-State were fine but not especially whelming Jim. Though they noted at one point that it was the first time they've played in seven months, so it's quite plausible that they're usually much better. the drummer of Gaz's co-worker liked 'em though!)

i hope at least one of you east coasters went to go! team. i am very sad they overlooked perth.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't. I had to work late-ish and couldn't get up to Sydney in time :( boo hiss etc.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:19 (eighteen years ago) link

i may get to go! to go! team. my bassman is mixing MSO at the melbie gig and may be able to schwang a door slot

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:56 (eighteen years ago) link

yair to be honest i think MSO are better on record than live, but i think that of most bands really

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Melbourne symphony orchestra? Yeah I've seen those guys, they suck live.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 03:04 (eighteen years ago) link

haw! imagine if indy bands started getting classical supports. there'd be hell toupee

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 03:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm so not funny today...and you're still the devilchild.

I went Gem, I just only talked about the first support.

The Grates were good too though, turned out I knew and sort of liked a whole THREE of their songs. then I queued up for 20 minutes to buy their CD and it was only four tracks in a cardsleeve and cost ten bucks and I was peeved.

i like the grates. i'd like to see them live too.

what's with all these britishers labels signing up all the aussie bands all of a sudden? is it something in the water?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 03:58 (eighteen years ago) link

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:11 (eighteen years ago) link

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, this is bad, this is really bad! You work, and you slave, and you steal just enough for a sweet lick of that shiny brass ring... don't I get a lick? Doesn't Jimmy get a lick?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder if there could be a new thread soon because this one is taking ages to load.
I don't want to be presumptuous.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:31 (eighteen years ago) link
