the day that happens will b the day I no longer bother with any new music

Yep. Me too! I'll just take up sex full time...

[Last time in a studio]

if you’re recording in a fraught environment trying to work with geezers who get pissed-off quick, then you’re in the wrong place with the wrong guys. This is just not a good working situation by anyone’s standards. And I’d think seriously about changing it.

I agree entirely with this statement, and not just for the recording environment! This would go for ANY environment! If I have to work with people that get stressed if they can't have their own way, or refuse to see other points of view, then I don't want to be there!

[PILFA ALBUM.. WHAT TO DO]

CD Baby

My Space

You should consider getting a Pilfa music page here on Songstuff. By far the greatest amount of traffic to Songstuff is to the Music pages!

[Fantasy Instruments]

Does this mean we are destined to never hear any new music?

[Fantasy Instruments]

fantasy instruments: an anti stutter microphone please

W w what?

[Fantasy Instruments]

I can see that might be embarrasing during a performance! I daresay this will happen one day! I wonder, if this innovation should come about, how long before instruments become completely obsolete?

[Fantasy Instruments]

I've got one of those...

[Ideal instrument]

A full sized electro acoustic guitar that you could put in your pocket for travelling.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've heard it said that you have deep pockets! You know what they say about Yorkshiremen? Like a Scotsman with the milk of human kindness squeezed out. Are you living in Yorkshire to pick up a few tips...?

[Publisher Here]

But, but ... what about all my sourly and sarcastic remarks ? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Kept on file for future use...

[Ideal instrument]

An upright bass fiddle. Because they sound good. you can bow them and you have to get more physical with it than with guitars & stuff.

f-hole...?

[Now That's a home studio]

Wow! He's cooler than you!

[Ideal instrument]

This would go for me too. Grand piano of some sort. Just the most beautiful sound! The ultimate instrument!

[I'm a full time musician]

I bet you've bitten your finger nails right down to the quick!

[hotlivebands.com]

I got this e-mail today:

seems like there are thousands of people at soundclick getting the same.

I went by their site and it's "under construction"... beware!!

[Anybody else noticing this?]

My virus and ad-aware software has been overly busy the last couple days.

Must be a hackers convention going on somewhere!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I sent them your details...

I can't actually find a links page on your site boys...?

[Link exchange]

My links page

[Commercial spots?]

I agree with Lazz and Finn. This is an oppertunity to see how good you are at selling something. Maybe with your talent as a musician. I would suggest you get as much information as you can from the sponsor.

Who are they targeting?

What are they selling? (Is it just computers?)

Do they want sexy? Manly? Techy? Nerdy?

Will they supply any of the material? (Voiceover)

Do they want a specific feel? i.e. Laid back? Up Front? Sinister? Techno? Groovy? Powerful?

Ask as many questions as you can think of before you even start on this. Listen to some other ads and assess them. Something we don't generaly do when we hear ads, but there is a definate science to all this.

[Upgrading from 98 to XP...]

Check to make sure your important aps are compatible. Good move

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I had to download new drivers for everything but thats something I periodically do anyway. The only thing that wouldn't work was my CD burning software. Redundant with XP anyway!

[Upgrading from 98 to XP...]

I upgraded from Win ME to XP without any problems. I did back up important files, but then I popped in the XP disk and sat back while it did the rest. Pretty pain free all in all!

[BOSS GT-8]

I still use the original GT-5 (so does Steve). This was superseded by the GT-6, which I was interested in because it had a nylon string patch, though I never tried it out.

They have bypassed a GT-7 model completely and opted for the GT-8 moniker.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm gonna hold out for the GT-7

[Sony headphones]

I've only got an ear-trumpet

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Eh?

[Last time in a studio]

Can't wait! What was the name of the studio? Did you manage to arrange an interview with the engineer? Have they recorded any famous artistes? Or were you selfishly just thinking of your own tracks?
