Hey Paul, don't we have an exquisite corpse floating around out there somewhere? I'd love to hear it all stitched together!

Guitar sound ? Guitar into amp. macbook on top of amp using internal mic. bits of flanging and chorus and compressor from mac to try to hide bleeding. The internal mic does a compressing/phasing thing all on it's own too. Maybe one day all heavy bands will use internal mics.

Hope you're well and enjoying 50/90 Hoops

Ha ha, a new nickname indeed! I'm not quite sure what to think about that, since I've heard some of your related views, but I can't deny my initials. :)

Hey Hoops
Yes Scott Bradley of Tom & Jerry!!!! those soundtracks are awesome.
And Yes It Bites - what a band! I love all there stuff, but Once Around The World is the most unified stylistically. They did suffer from being so talented they could play anything and didn't seem to know what to do direction wise. I got to see them live twice and they were amazing.

Where did you get your false voice? I think I could do with one myself...

Hey Hoops, I kept following your creativity, even though not commenting on the songs yet (my favourite is "Lie in wait"). Beautiful pieces combined with an excellent voice that completes them... I do not know if you are open to collabs, but if you are and if you have the time, I`d love to invite you to have a look at some lyrics of mine and if you find anything that touches you in any way, I`d look very forward to an eventual collaboration...
kind regards

Hey hoops, thanks for the comment :) Much appreciated - and it meant I got to enjoy one of yours too!

Aaaaah, just what I thought while listening to Chicken Hole! "early Genesis..." Bullseye, that's the kind of shit I was talking about! :) Goody, goody, you rock! :)

Hey, good to see you :) Yeah maybe it could work for the collab (if you don't mind minimalist one-hand playing).

Popping in to say a quick 'ello! Summer here has been extremely busy keeping me from participating the way I'd hoped to, but it's a long event and hopefully I'll get on the board soon, at least some lyrics, anyway and a trip or to to the chat room. By the time I'm settled in to get on, though, you guys are already nearly tucked in. I hope things are sorting themselves out and that you're doing great.

Hoops, I sort of figured you'd be one of the only folks who might pick out the nods to old school Genesis in The World Just Doesn't Really Care. :)
Glad you were able to catch it!
Looking forward to listening to your stuff soon, I need to dedicate some more to digesting all this good music out there. Rock on!

Yo Hoops! Yeah, man...we've been overdue for a minute. I don't want this moment to pass us by, so I'm going to make sure that we stay connected during 50/90. Whatever it may be...it's gonna be killer.

Thanks so much for your awesome comment on my skirmish - I am proud and flattered! :)

I could have sworn I'd seen a skirmish song posting you, but it didn't pop up on the tagcloud list. I believe you've got yourself a typo there, sir. Not that I'd let that stop me from finding you... ;)

Thanks for the comment Hoops. One take after 30 minutes of noodling and practice I should point out, not one take straight off the top of me head. :-)

Hi Hoops! I sure hope you'll be cooking up something for us to feast on. And I sincerely appreciate you listening and commenting on mine.

Hi Hoops :)

Looking forward to hearing what you create!

And maybe we can get together for that collab we really ought to do...

Hey Hoops, thanks much for the comment. I've been struggling a bit. Not because I'm unable to write, but I haven't been feeling like it. As a wise Tim once mentioned to me (last FAWM), we have nothing to prove because we've done this time and again (your 50 songs in a day or so proves that).

So, I've decided to just to just enjoy myself. If that means 50 songs about not being arsed, or farting in the shower or whatever, that is what it will be. (I actually have the lyrics for Farting in the Shower, just haven't gotten around to writing music yet, lol)

Anyway, always glad to see you around and if the music bug hits you, will look forward to enjoying your songs. And if you don't decide to write, will enjoy your company (which is the bigger gift anyway).
