Music post: Learning Covers
If you want to fire me an Mefimail, or list the songs here, I'm sure I could work some of them out for you - its about my only natural talent. I can work out the chords quick enough, but the fiddly-diddly lead bits you might be on your own for.

Yep. Just to repeat what everyone else said, its repetition.

Music post: Rule 34
There's some lovely wah'ed up electric piano in there that reminded me of early Billy Joel. (Hey! If you can have reptiles fuckin' cars then i can drop a Billy reference. :) )

Music post: New to Home Recording
So...hold up a second, are we saying that the cheapest and easiest way of getting up and recording is to buy, one of these breakout boxes, a couple of SM-58s and an $800 laptop?

Its only just occured to me that this might be possible (given that I've spent 2 weeks looking at digital 8 tracks and had *nearly* made my mind up.

Music post: The Bitter with the Suite
My favourite thing is also my least favourite. The degree of politeness and thoughtful tolerance is really high - far higher than on the rest of the site. Sometimes i wish that people would bust loose a bit more, but i understand that we're all fragile little egos, really. I'd be glad of a bit more constructive criticism sometimes rather than OMFG-CHOOON or, worse, awkward silences. (This, you'll notice from the man who only ever posts 'awesome' to any given thread.)

I imagine this will be a big and wandery Hello World thread all in all.

Damn skippy. This is the part of the thread that's the equivalent of the fourth hour of band practice. Everyone's half drunk, half tired, you just got finished telling the story of the time you opened for Power Station, same as you do every week, the fiddle player's got a banjo, the guitarist is on the drums and someone, for some reason, says "Remember that...

Music post: Body Music 1
Awesome - a little Miriam Makeba in there (I'm thinking the beginning of When We Were Kings which just knocks me onto my ass every time I see it.) and I loved the snap! at the end.

Music post: boing
I found the sacred chord that Leonard Cohen was always going on about. Turns out it's just Dm7. Who'da thunk?

Also: this kicks my ass.

Sacred, secret. Same thing, just fingered differently. :)

Lovely. I'm surprised by how consistently impressed I am with these more "field musicky" efforts. Anyone else? I like to listen to them while I'm walking around Manchester and they seem to transport me even more than "normal" tunes.
