  1. The lead singer in my band really puts me in my place and constantly tells me I'm in the wrong. Mind you. It's probably my own fault for marrying her.
  2. I like to provide some eye candy for the ladies.
  3. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but given the comments so far, I'm not looking forward to it. πŸ˜‚ Oh well. That's the luck of the draw.
  4. I've got some underpants with holes in. Not exclusively for gigging. I just live in poverty.
  5. Put a bit of soundproofing foam behind. Win win.
  6. Well it's that time of the week again. πŸ₯ Lageos - Actress London Contemporary Orchestra Definitely out of my comfort zone on this one. πŸ˜… Bandcamp https://actress.bandcamp.com/album/lageos Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/45jLFyHIZIXWB8cKlXUTn9 Tidal https://tidal.com/album/87045772 YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_naghAfGqxieztsyAM8MM9t_oIEhKPbN0o&si=ccvwywzWhLsScPZr
  7. Being in a band never does. πŸ˜‚
  8. I was wondering the same as the add says that while you can work around it you have to commit to it as your primary job (or words to that effect) and there's about 65 gigs a year. They'd have to be really well paid gigs.
  9. How do you feel about meeting half way for a sale? I'm thinking maybe around Vienna. πŸ˜‚
  10. Nice one. Sounds like you struck gold there. Β£30 an hour is a good price for face to face lessons. I was paying that to my so called teacher 15 years ago.
  11. Wow! I'd take your arm off at that price if I was in the UK.
  12. I have no doubt that some people can. Probably those who have years of experience playing through different rigs, or sound engineers who can pick up on the most subtle differences. I'm definitely not one of them. πŸ˜†
  13. Tuner Β£10 Β£290 for beer. Excellent!
  14. I honestly don't know how anyone hears the difference. Bass is bass. Especially in a mix. I can't even tell the difference between different kinds of basses in a blind listen.
  15. Ok. Pedant Harry doffed in return. Watts are an electrical measurement where you multiply the current with the voltage to get the power consumed, i.e. watts. It is simply an indicator of power and cannot be used to describe how loud a speaker is actually going to be.
  16. Six year old post. I think he's probably figured out our by now. πŸ˜‹
  17. Just had a first listen through of the Bjork album so here's my thoughts. Firstly. I had no idea that it was an acapella album. Second. I always thought I liked acapella music. Turns out I like acapella tracks, singular. The odd track here and there is very clever and a nice change. A whole album of it becomes tedious very quickly. Thirdly. I do really like Bjorks voice and quirky vocal style. So although this album isn't really for me. It does inspire me to seek out more of her stuff. Maybe some of her earlier stuff where I know one or two tracks on the album to dip my toe in. However. In the spirit of the thread. I will listen to the album again and see if I can pull some more positives from it.
  18. Yeah the stuff I've previously heard of hers is as mad as a box of frogs, but in a good way. I don't know why I've never really listened to any of her albums before. Maybe I'll find out after I've listened to this one. πŸ˜‚
  19. Ok folks. I'm posting early this week because I don't know if I'll get the chance later. So here we go. πŸ₯ Bjork - Medulla. Interesting one this. I've heard a couple of Bjorks pop hits on the radio and music television back in the day. But I've never listened to an album. So I'm assuming everything on here will be new to me. Bandcamp https://bjork.bandcamp.com/album/med-lla Apple https://music.apple.com/bg/artist/bjΓΆrk/295015 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/6bjGw9Clp684XTRPBI0h6K Tidal https://tidal.com/album/90087191 YouTube https://youtu.be/7A3WJ11U3V0?si=2dMKH1fbed60vChM
  20. The ultimate Crue album will always be Dr Feelgood for me.
  21. Yes. I agree. As I said earlier in the thread. I think the opening track was a really bad choice. It sounds off key and really not quite right. After a few listens I'm pretty sure this was an artistic choice rather than a pink torpedo up. But I really think they should have gone with another track as an opener.
  22. I really like that idea. I will offer you five pounds for ninety five percent of your company.
  23. I have enough trouble trying to find motivation to walk to the car with my gear.
  24. Look forward to the album. Mick was always the real talent in Crue.
