Weezer does sound like the Monkees on distortion, and that is why I fucking love them.

Production definitely makes a big difference on the overall sound of the record, and I’m definately on the more lo-fi side of the fence.

I pretty much hate just Pro Tools though, when it all comes down to it. Every local band around these parts has a three song demo made by some asshole in his bedroom with Pro Tools and a couple SM 57s for like 500 bucks. They all sound exactly the fucking same and they always try to fix the thin ass digital recording by just adding a bunch of low end to the guitar. And they all have they clicky bass drum mixed to the front…it pisses me off.

considering a mac, I’m a soulseek girl though, whats your experience with the p2p madness on a mac…

thanks for you input lookitssam, it does have some wicked new tricks, just concerned about the bugs & software stuff..whats a widget

Widgets are those things you can put on your desktop…clocks, calenders, weather reports, stuff like that. It started on Macs but they’re putting it on Vista just to attempt to convert Mac users. Widgets just seem really gimmicky.

A friend of mine got an advanced copy. He says it’s pretty cool.

I fucking hate widgets though.

hey lookitssam !! i used to work at a gas station.. it was all right. except for when the homeless people poop on the bathroom floor and take showers in the sink.. you should hear the song,
"wind up working in a gas station" by frank zappa… it rocks!

Yea the bathroom can get pretty brutal sometimes but it’s not as bad as I’ve seen some places. It’s an ok job.

I haven’t heard that Zappa song, what album is it on?

[lookitssam]

You use a DS1 to boost? I used my friends once and it had a huge volume drop.

Nice sound though.

What do you think of Jandek?He`s not exactly radio friendly definitely a cult figure that has a growing following.
For those of you who don`t know Jandek,he`s this nut from Texas who`s made over 2 dozen albums since 1978.Damaged folk might be a good description.I have a feeling Lou Barlow digs him.

This is the first album of his I got, and I like it so far. It sounds very same-ish but in a way I like how he just talks over this dissonant guitar drone for half an hour.

I might get Interstellar Discussion at some point, I hear that one is more garage band sounding.

[lookitssam]

Aw man, I know this one but it slipped my mind.

[lookitssam]

Jandek – Living in a Moon so Blue
The Hospitals – I’ve Visited the Island of Jocks and Jazz

Husker Du – New Day Rising

The Cramps – Songs the Lord Taught Us

I signed up for the draft because I have to. If I ever get drafted I’m moving to Canada.

I’ve said how I feel about this subject here:

For me it’s far worse when a band I really like start making crappy albums. Blue and Pinkerton are two amazing albums, Pinkerton has a spot on my top 10 album and I was close to crapping my pants when they reformed. The green album was a good effort, but after that it’s been total and utter garbage coming from camp =W= and it breaks my heart. If green had been their last album, they -and Rivers in particular, would´ve had their names carved in titanium for the generations to come, now they’re…for me it’s like they’ve ridiculed themselves. To think that a kid these days might start singing beverly hills, that’s where I want to go, instead of emptying their sex crazed, angst driven lungs with why bother, it’s gonna hurt me, it’s gonna kill when you desert me, when hearing the name Weezer makes me sick, sad and depressed.

I know man. My life used to be all about Weezer until Rivers turned his back on me.
