How about music?

Well, I like your guitar stylings on "Last Year". Reminds me of Fleetwood Mac, I think - with a touch of Floyd.

And what software do you use for multi-tracking? I do the same, and mine is also quite dated. Then again, till only a few years ago, I was using an old reel-to-reel tape recorder that allowed you to bounce tracks from channel to channel and add instruments that way, and in that process I learned many tricks I still use digitally. I think it's good to learn all you can do with limited toys. You get better that way, not relying on the machine to do your work.

We could probably talk for hours on this topic.

I use N-Track which while dated, is pretty good. All you need is a pc, a pc mic and some headphones and your off! Its very easy to use. I will get some more up-to-date software though as I want to re-record everything and bring it up to date. Most of my songs are unfinished lol

I use Sonic Foundry's ACID Music. It's kind of designed so that it's really easy to make a techo-styled song, in that it generates loops for you, but you can just record a straight miked song into it. I often do a bit of a combination - create a beat using loops, then record live instruments over top of that.

If you need any help mastering/cleaning up files when you re-record, just hit me up. I've got some good stuff for that too.

Oh, and you'd find this interesting. I finished a CD this winter which was mostly catchy Beatles-esque stuff - mushy lyrics and all that. Oddly though, as I listened to it later, I noticed that most of the songs (unintentionally) had seemingly Lost-related double meanings. In fact, the word "lost" appeared several times. I even mentioned whispers in one of the songs - and loss of the ability to speak. I really wasn't trying it.

Im going through a Radiohead phase at the moment. Hence all my theoy title try to incorperate Radioheads songs.

I like Radiohead.....I used to have "Ok Computer" and played it to death lol, might have to get another copy

I also love Celtic music Todd, its so moving!

Wow theres a good few musos here then! Id love to hear your stuff too Todd (Just about to check out SAOY's )

I've been a club and mobile dj since 1979 and, as much as I am almost embarrassed to say this. since I do about 300 show per year and play music from 4-8 hours, 5-6 nights a week...the absolute LAST thing I want to hear is more music!

Glad I'm not a gynocol...that's horrible, I'm a bad person.

ooooh SAOY, you got that Tom Petty thing going doooooooown!!!!

Love your stuff, its lighthearted and entertaining, also very well performed! Love it!

MSHL - My Uncle in NZ does the same as you and probably for just as long (as long as I can remember anyway) and he still loves it....and he is the same about listening to music outside of work...his idea of a nightmare is going to an event with a dj

HIP... HOP... HIP... HOP. In all forms, from the old school, to the ghetto new school, korean, militant, slow and smooth, to booty grinding. Of course hip hop with good lyrics is my favorite (not bling, i'm rich, hoes, and cars, but that soulful, deep stuff. BUt give me a good beat and I'll rock it.


also like Cumbia, Salsa, Mexican Rancheras, and Mana!

I like the theory titling convention. I'm waiting for the one simply titled "Creep". I hope it's about Ben.

Everyone has pretty darn good taste here

My favorite artist is probably Mama Cass Elliot, and my favorite song is "You All Everybody"

I know, I know. I am way too addicted to this damn show.

Seriously though, I like almost everything.

From 80s Rock: Guns and Roses, Def Leppard, Journey, Motley Crue, Poison, Tesla, and basically any other Hair Band I missed.

And finally, if you grow up where I have grown up (Northeast PA), you have no choice but to love Country music. Some of my faves are Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Brooks and Dunn, Rascal Flatts, and lots lots more.

Sorry Puchita, I am not a big hip hop fan, but I do gotta say I LOVE RHIANNA! She is gorgeous and has one of the sexiest voices I have ever heard.
