Lol this poo poo sucks hard, I would like to make a kickstarter that prevents their album from coming out.

This is Motion City Soundtrack with a lovely metal guitar tone, fake drums, and a complete lack of talent and wit.

A bit of both. His studio is pretty awesome but I think his 16 string all high E’s guitar with a dick on the headstock qualifies as stupid music poo poo in most circles.

The $1,500 tier lets you get your name tattooed on the lead singer's arm. We need a GoFundMe to raise money for that and each dollar contributed gets you a vote on the final name.

Which part? Because Steve Albini is both. I mean, the dude had a band called Rapeman and felt justified in doing so. But he's also a genuinely talented engineer who cares about his product and if I had any bucks whatsoever I'd love to go over to Electric and fart around.

I appreciated that he stressed his love for some inexpensive gear like the FMR compressor and preamp. When it got to the obligatory Earthquaker blow job I figured that was the stupid music poo poo and I turned it off.

Dude is still sort of the reason I'm reluctant to call myself a "producer", since I don't think it's my place to order bands around or anything when it comes to recording their stuff unless they specifically request my help. Like, most of my work has been precisely just taking care of making sure the sounds of whoever I'm working with get recorded properly.

That said, yeah: he's a giant shithead with some other matters.

I liked his lowkey diss of Bush (the band) with his amazement that the album they recorded with him did well.

I'm pretty sure 70% of the thought and effort going into effects pedals (and eurorack modules) is the naming.

I felt like he was trying to play it real sly but that he was kind of embarrassed a little. He knows he has a cool cachet simply because that is what he plays against to be the character that is Steve Albini and Bush is about as uncool as it gets.

Razorblade Suitcase is the only Bush album I own and I realized long after I bought it that it's because of Albini's work on it. It sounds really good and I think it actually highlights the differences in their songwriting that made them not just Nirvana wannabes, especially up against In Utero. "Greedy Fly" is genuinely one of my favorite songs and it's mostly the texture of it.

Hey you guys just got me to answer a question I've had since the '90s! Who was Bushx


Same guys, it turns out.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_(Canadian_band)


quote:

Bush became newsworthy again in 1995, as the result of an intellectual property dispute with the British alternative band Bush. As Troiano still owned the rights to that name, the British band were forced to release their albums in Canada as "Bushx".[3] In late April 1997, Troiano and Gavin Rossdale reached an agreement under which Rossdale's band was permitted to use the name Bush without the letter X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.[4]

So of course everyone called the Bush even on the radio except when advertising albums.

Anyways I had "Deconstructed" which was some pretty good DnB.

That’s hilarious that Bush was so derivative of Nirvana even down to choosing a name they’d have to pay someone else to use

I was searching on how to adjust poo poo on my Yamaha acoustic and came across this.

I dunno, this entire video seems so sketch.

The end result the dude got his guitar back reglued and repainted. Or he was offered a like guitar of value. Good on him for that, but im terrified otherwise.

Any of you guys ever bought a warmoth neck?
Are they setup nice out of the box? Like are there jagged fret ends and whatnot? Am I going to have to level and dress all the frets or are they good to go usually?


I have an old rear end strat body, and enough random spare parts to make a cool guitar if I had a neck.

They're all going to need leveling if you want a low action. Warmoth doesn't do anything to the frets other than (in my experience) remove the sharp edges. I mean I guess you could get super lucky and get one that's perfect without any work but I fully expect to have to do some fretwork whenever I buy a Warmoth.

They make drat good necks though.
