    • I really enjoy The Shadows and think their version of Apache is terrific but I wonder who started putting that sort of sound effect (pick scratch with delay) in there that wasn't on The Shadows single, the Ventures?  I love that bit!

    • Bobby Fuller's live version of Miserlou is pretty killer diller.  I think it was on the Cowabunga box.

    • Yep, I'm afraid you must be right...

      Still, this corporated thing trying to sneak in Rock'n'Roll makes me uneasy...and bored !

      Besides, I may ask too much, but I always expect to be bouncing off the walls !!! Each and every instant of my stupid nonsense life !!!

      I don't find it strange at all. It's Scion's thing, obviously, so I don't think it's strange at all that they invited members of their own sponsored bands. It's not like this is the SXSW music conference, it's a Scion conference. Those guys would obviously have an expert opinion on the subject since they're being marketed/promoted in this way, and this gives them the opportunity to discuss it. It makes more sense than inviting someone from some other band, I think.

      Also, whether or not you found it interesting or not, it does directly answer some of the questions raised in this very thread on the subject. I don't think anyone expected to be bouncing off the walls after watching it.

      (Am I mistaking or Sean Spits seemed to be as bored being there as I was, trying to keep my eyes open watching this ???)

      Besides, I find it kinda "strange" that the only bands appearing in this pseudo-conference organized by Scion are bands "sponsored" by Scion. Talking about Integrity and Selling Out ? Really ???

    • Yup, we already scheduled cassette and CD release here, but wanted to have european CD or 7inch release too : )

      Probably, we will try to send some of it to distros outside the border. Yesterday i wrote tonns of letters, but still nothing :)

       

      Thank you for your minds, guys! : )

    • Most labels only work with bands they know, or are familiar with, have seen live and can work with easily. I wouldn't hold your breath on some obscure American or European label coming forward to release your stuff. Not that's it not good enough, mind you, but because there are a ton of bands out there already, and these labels are operating on shoestring budgets as it is. You'd probably be better off finding a local label or just releasing it yourself and finding a distributor or mailorder outfit that will take it.

    • Thanks, i'll duplicate my message up there! : )

    • Ha ha, What a hoser I've become.  Really though I can't think of a whole lot more note worthy things... And I'm thinking Daniel Fred & Julie might have been oh nine.  

      Do say "hey" for me. They stayed at my place and were too polite to say my dog was being a jerk.

      Post Script Hoser itself is worth some Cancon cred, am I right ?

    • yeah! & here's our pedalboard setup:

    • February 24, 2011 8:51 AM CST
    • I am not a believer in distortion pedals - too friggin' metal and rawk. Overdrive your amp - that's the only distortion you need. Or loosen a tube like Link Wray. Slash your speaker cone with a razor blade (that's how Dave Davies did it and I swear by it but I have several amps) and it's not that expensive to put in a new cone.  Get an amp with tremolo or, most importantly, REVERB! DON'T GET A REVERB PEDAL!! Nothing sounds worse... A tremolo unit is ok if you can't get an amp with both but reverb pedals are the seed of Stan's nutsack. Nobody in the 50s or 60s were using pedals and you don't need 'em. Get a fuzz for solos or single note riffs but distortion pedals - bleh. People rely WAY too much in pedals these days (that and fucking modeling amps - LOSER) and they don't sound organic - they sound fake and sterile and shitty (and not in the way you want it to sound shitty). Cheap guitars aren't really necessary but they will work well. My main guitar these days is a Kent Americana.

       

      Listen to records you like and learn the songs and then STEAL THEM! You'll learn everything you need to know. Lessons, books, etc are overrated and a waste of money.

    • maybe I can write a song about the problem of writing songs in my head and forgetting them ten minutes later :)
