Non-Music Shit / Re: mp3 "mixtape" volume question
« on: August 16, 2012, 03:30:16 AM »
It's a great idea, thanks.
It will also involve, for me, the extra step of firing up the barely-functional windows machine and copying everything over there.... I'll give it a try next time I really get wound up about levels, thanks!

Non-Music Shit / mp3 "mixtape" volume question
« on: August 14, 2012, 07:21:44 AM »
I take the time to copy, label/order, volume adjust and zip mp3s before sending them out to friends (no money & lots of free time).
Anyway the volume adjustments never "stick" -- by the time someone downloads and unzips, the volumes are totally arbitrary and annoying again.
Pretty obscure question but I figured if there was a forum where someone OCD'ed and solved the same issue, this would be it.

Music Shit / ECSR AT&T commercial
« on: August 13, 2012, 11:21:07 AM »
was surprised to hear the misfits on a sailor jerry whiskey commercial on the spike network, but was slightly pleased they let the cusswords blare when it got to "ain't no goddamned son of a bitch"

Music Shit / Re: discography for Needle Records from Japan?
« on: August 08, 2012, 05:22:03 AM »There are still tons of bands playing in that scene in tokyo but it is quite small (most people at the shows are also in bands).Definitely. My first experience with a band in the States saw a satisfying arc from outnumbering the audience, to an audience of people we knew, to drawing a large crowd of people we did not know.
I was looking for that kind of expansion in Tokyo and found it frustrating at first (in my opinion people don't really try to promote in a way that would get anyone not already involved to come to a show).
Then I started thinking of it as a group of friends who hang out in a bar get up and play for each other in various combination throughout the evening.
Then I started having a lot of fun.

My understanding is when Teengenerate started their scene was new and they thought it was cool to have their records released anywhere, without really giving it much more thought.
Many of those labels were not very good/organized/communicative and they couldn't even get copies of what they did, responses to their fax/email, etc.
The scene has now matured a bit, so they are not as impressed just with the fact of with having a record released abroad.
Additionally CDs still sell well in Japan, and people who buy the stuff in America like vinyl, so they started doing CDs in Japan and in some cases licensing the vinyl in the States.
I saw the Firestarter records going for what I thought was high prices on ebay, etc, and genuinely wanted to help w/ the next one, thinking certainly if you have a fair number of people in the States who want it, it is a problem that can be solved, by either shipping a bunch for distro to cut down on postage, or pressing a bunch in the States. But as I said, they already had it well under control. But Fifi offered to do that Saturday Night 7", I think just to be nice, and maybe because I lived there and was in his bar often so it wasn't quite so distant.
Bisco, Episode Sounds, who did the Black and White and Louder singles posted in the new release board, so you could PM him for a contact or info on any of his stuff.
Black and White are awesome humans who go on my "friends so automatically like band" list, so it's great to hear other people hold them in high regard.
Steve I want to hear some of those Needle 7"s you were talking about!

Sweet gig.
I live in Logan Square. I'm 36 and lived in Japan for 6.5 years.
The handful of termfolks I've met have been lovely, would always like to meet more.

When does this air?
Do any of the characters have special catch phrases I can look forward to?

I'm bored at work and I appreciated this story.
Especially the existential introspection at the end.

« on: July 10, 2012, 01:35:28 PM »
The worst guy in the band usually benefits the most; I know playing with people better than me keeps me on my toes and exploring new territory. I guess it's human nature to coast when not that much is being demanded of you. Those rare people who are good at their instruments (or music in general) and choose to use their awesome powers for the evil end of punk -- my favorites.

Yes, on Mangrove.
I just got it and listened once.
Side A manic, starts w/ a capella shout/saying english lyrics about going to Mexico, real weird/good
Side B slower straight ahead rock beat, strum guitar, weird changes, Japanese vocals
