Actually Rein, how long did it take you to produce Choppin It, I know you have some hours in, my cat likes to dance to it, expecially when I fixxin him tuna, really it is pretty good

Glad you like it!

I had the idea after a chat with Grefix regarding STFUAC... regarding the "F" word in it. He (and most of the world that doesn't live in North America) had no issues with it. But I thought I'd like to write a song that didn't have the "F" word in it. So I decided to take the afternoon off (one side of the sword that is Self-Employment) and get at it. Started scribbling lyrics around noon ~ mixed and uploaded it by supper time. Let's say 5 hours from nothing to something a bit more than nothing!

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME!

Just found these guys (and gals) from Japan:

I bet they could do a cover of CHOPPIN IT

(I suspect that Mark Mothersbaugh is Diggin This Shite )

They're great...I love that! They kinda remind me of a cross between these 2 :
Man Or Astroman?

Melt Banana (They're craaaazzy)

...kinda catchy, innit?




Just curious, see'ns how ya put it together so quickly (and I really like it, I might add) ...What softwares did you use? Cubase?...

I'll check them out once I've finished consuming TURKEY!!






I use a ball point pen for lyrics, then move onto CuBase for the main music composing. Then that gets recorded a track at a time onto my 24 track Yamaha 2400. Next the vocals and (usually) accordion go down. Then I let my ears settle down for about 10 minutes and then I mix that sucka. -the end-

my top 10:

NRBQ
Wilco
The Replacements
Ramones
Flaming Lips
Steve Earle
Reverend Horton Heat
Neil Young
Johnny Cash
Todd Snider

Check out this cool guitar battle, the Wooten bros.

Victor Wooten with Felix Pastorius, yes, Jaco's son he doesn't quite have his dads chops, but he will
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW0WXhJVkVo

I just found out that he was playing at a club right around the corner from me, I gotta go check him out

Felix at this club, Alligator Alley, according to the address it's really close to me within a few miles.
Felix rush's through Teen Town, but it's still pretty good

Watch Jaco play Teen Town

Wayne Shorter, with Felix

Wow...that "Way of the Groove", was really good stuff. Felix is blaze'n on those frets. I've never heard of him before. Thanks for that link!

That Wooten bros. duel was waaaaaay to much bravado....sllloppy play'n on both their parts. I figure they were both just mess'n around, but jeez. Victor is way better than that.

...and that last one( Jaco) Daaaamn!



Squarepusher's no slouch on the bass ,either.

That Squarepusher is great, tell me that he wasn't influenced by Jaco.

Yeah,and I also think he was probably influenced alot by Chris Squire (fromYES....who else) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGN_MXV5T44&mode=related&search=

I'm just itch'n for this release: Peter Hook's new project "Freebass"
Three bass players!

I bought Chris Squire's Fish Out Of Water album when it came out more than 30 years ago in 1975, it was, and still is a great body of work. I've watched that vid a few times and almost posted it a while back, too bad it's in bad shape.

No video here but another great tune from Fish Out Of Water

"Lucky Seven"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LV1RXM0wS4&mode=related&search=

Yeah, that's great!! I'm gonna get that album....not sure really ,why I haven't yet. Ya know....I kinda forget until I hear it on it's own but his voice was a huge part of Yes's sound. In fact they wouldn't have sounded quite right without it. I love progressive music!

everyone in Yes is so talented, I got my first Yes album in sixth grade,1972, "Close To The Edge", my classmates looked at me like a fool when I brought the album in to play, I was told to take it off, it was so far ahead of its time.


I knew I had that image in the bank.

This got me thinkin, what was your first album?
This was mine, can you figure out who it was??


No peaking at the code
