The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[Harry_Manback]

Yeah, I picked up a Stone Deaf a PDF-1. I think it's also my first retail pedal purchase since last years Black Friday.

On sale? From where?

Goddammit. Verellen is also having a sale till the end of the year. I tried convincing my wife that buying TWO meatsmokes would save us $1250. This is an argument she uses often after purchasing some useless trivial item. Sadly, she seems to have chosen NOW as the time to finally understand that spending money does not save you money.

Hey dudes with copies of Clean, does your copy sound too fast and like butt (Conky I know yours did and a couple others did) and have you inquired with Brutal Panda about it? I just listened to mine and it is pretty bad. Wondering if Brutal Panda messed up the press and will make it right.

I am.

SO.

FUCKING.

MAD.

Please email the label and they will send you another copy. They are repressing the record.

[christianatl]

I got my response from Brutal Panda. They actually offered me a replacement when they repress it. No word about them speeding it up intentionally but they asked if it appeared warped.

Conky, I'd recommend you try to reach out to them again. Same goes to everyone, just try shooting an e-mail saying hey whats gives

Nah, I'm fucking done with Brutal Panda. If Christian gets some copies of the repress I'll buy it off of him instead.

I'll personally send you a copy as soon as we get ours. I'm so sorry.

[christianatl]

And to anyone else who bought vinyl copies, please, please, please email the label (Bob Lugowe and/or Mike Lara) at info@brutalpandarecords.com, and ask them to mail you a copy of the repress. They keep trying to tell me that it's not that big of a deal. I, obviously, heartily disagree. Fuming.

Words fail to convey the amount of rage and frustration I feel about this.

With the amount of work, heartache, emotion, blood, sweat, effort and heart that goes into writing and recording music, never-mind keeping a band together in the first place, I can't imagine how pissed you must be. "No big deal" fuck man, I would loose my shit.

Sorry bout the indirect post y'all I didn't wanna roll in from the bst wastelands selling my encyclopedias door to door first think (two thumbs and not slick? This guy!)
This doom room seems a bit more manageable than TB
I tried today and there was like three rooms and it made my nose bleed.

Wrote a song today, just to do something while my wife was out running errands. Guitars are my Carvin Bolt Plus tuned to B through Dunwich Wizard Fuzz on one track, Cthulhu Fuzz on the other, both into my Carvin X100B head through a Celestion 65 loaded 2x12. Bass is my Fender Precision through a Joyo Ultimate Drive into my GK MB800 and Eminence Basslite loaded DIY 1x10. Really minimal mixing, just banged everything out as quick as possible. I've been looking at a lot of gear online lately and not doing a lot of music playing, so I figured I should get my ass in gear and just write a complete song. Still planning on working out some vocals and recording them too.

I had to let our bass player talk to them. I am still so mad I can't see straight.

It's chill over here man, I can't handle that forum. Way to much. Tom kicks ass for making this a subforum which lets things kinda spread out a bit too.

Love the tones man, the ACDC drums were kinda killin me but I'm spoiled having Ryder around to be the drum robot. Around the 2:12 mark was nice, let it breathe a bit.

Been there man, good that were able to let someone not be the rage guy. The album is sick man, total BS that it got fucked up like that.

Thanks, tones are definitely the easy part for me usually. I actually already went back and changed almost all the drums except the transitions and the bridge part. I wrote the song to a click track anyway, so I found something that fit a little better and edited the beats a little more this time too. My resources for drums are pretty limited when it comes to writing new material, so I'm typically using digital stuff when I write by myself at home. Right now I have one drummer that I play with on a semi regular basis, the guy that plays in Warp Rig, but I don't have enough access to him to just throw out ideas for jamming and writing my own things. We only practice once every other week or so most of the time anyway. Plus, I'd have to bring all my recording gear to our storage space. I have a drum kit, the one he uses for our practice there, but I'd still have to go set it up at my work to record live drums and I'm not that great a drummer myself. When I get enough material together to do an album solo I might recruit someone or just try to practice the hell out of the songs and do it myself. Finding a drummer to do the stuff I want has always been a huge challenge.

Here's the revised version, I think it flows a little better.

[AxAxSxS]

One of the things I used to do was record ideas for songs and give the guys a cd they could jam along with at home. Click tracks are a great tool for that as well, keeps you (me) from goofing up the beat I'm really lucky in that nowadays we try to get two days a week in and all the gear is in my home so collaborative writing is something we can actually make happen. Hopefully soon we'll have some more of our stuff in at least demo quality form to share. A lot of it is allready recorded and just needs vocs and mixing.

Man, I wish I could be practicing two days a week. Either with any of the bands I'm doing now or something new. Minus a PA I've got enough gear to outfit a whole band, a warehouse at work I can practice and record in any time (and lots of recording gear and a dedicated mixing room) and I hardly ever get to practice on a regular basis.

I'm looking forward to hearing some more of the demos. The stuff Tony has shared on Facebook and TB before have been really good.
