CHOOOOOOOOOOOUT! that was SUPREMELY GROOOOOVY! d-loading the tunes now, I actually have a copy of the show but in 56k quality! so... THANXABUNCH!

Just listened to it. Very tight indeed. The interview was pretty cool too.
She's Chunkin's a very catchy song. Something Fu Manchuish about it.
Keep up the good work. You guys rock!

she's chunkin' ...i love it.

fun show...I Suck At Music (& Everything Else) made me laugh

Which is the song you have at myspace as a video?

She's Chunkin'. It's awful.

^ yeah, the recording is kinda gay. youtube comments are kind of mean. haha, btw are you talking about the live video or did you make a new one?

anyways, radio show sounds good, keep it up!

Your sound is fairly dynamic considering the stuctures that the songs have.
I like the energetic, devil-may-care agressive riffing & ostinato guitar, and I like your singing and phrasing, by the way. It reminds me some of this '90s Athens duo that was really great called Skin Pops. I'm friends (well, was) with Barry Sell, but anyway,
I think that song could be more of a "winner" if during the part where it breaks down you change your singing style, but as the music breaks, go into a couple of lines of something poetic & archetypal and change your voice into more of a heartfelt croon and then go back into the song. It'll add an counter-point anchor to the repeating "she's chunkin'" phrase that the audience can get just slightly more invovled with the song.. At the end, the song sort of deconstructs, and I like what Alsex is playing as he variates that same line, but your guitar gets too "abstract" hehe at the end. I'll say change to a different rhythm and play something fucked-up at the end and let the bass just change. Or maybe experiment with the ending being a separate break where the bass just plays. Actually, I like that idea. At the end, the bass plays the same riff as it has been as the guitar abates, and then the guitar cuts in with two seconds of blues noise pain and cuts out again as the bass then changes the next measure into the "deconstructed" sound, and the guitar once again offers a wail and then it ends. But, what am I going on about? You guys have probably already modified the song several times hehe or it's very posssible that the version posted in the video is the only one that has that ending that seems to just sputter out...

Thanks for the Spiel man. It's interesting to hear other people's input into what we do.
Actually that song has no real bass live - we use a crappy sounding preprogrammed bass sound on the drum machine. We're trying to get a friend to learn the bass for 3 songs we have with two guitars to do them live. The 'deconstructed' part at the end is me looping my part with a delay pedal (don't remember what its like on the youtube video, I'm talking about the newer versions of it we play, don't remember if I had that pedal then)...sometimes sounds good, sometimes not - it's never the same way twice which makes it fun.

i didn't like the harmony part in She's Chunkin' it sounds odd.

Boo yah, a song dedicated to me! I'm excited and I am downloading the recording now.

EDIT:

Ah, it's true! Way to dedicate mid-song, Chout. :]

What drum machines do you use CHOUT? I just have an Alesis SR-16 and if I could hooking a 2nd one up VIA midi sounds like a good idea. Especially one that you can write basslines on for when I go it alone.

Can your bass riffing drum machine send the bass riffs out as midi control messages? I have an analog synth with midi in that has a sort of archaic sequencer, but if I could play it with another sequencer that is structured as a song, that could be really cool.

Then it has served it's purpose. HA

We use a Boss DR3 and some cheap crappy zoom of alex's, and split the purchase of a used Boss DR770. Hoping to get the 770 in there to replace the zoom eventually, since 80% of the songs are on my DR3.

They all have Midi outs, but I still don't know shit about midi. We have some other electro punk band we play with that uses lots of midi stuff, and they said they would help us learn midi. I really want to.

It's funny - so many people feel left out from me not dedicating a song to them. I shoulda written down a list or some shit.

Yeah, I need to learn a lot about midi too. I think getting a midi cable and hooking up my synth and drum machine to see what I can do would be a start.

I bought a midi cable and couldn't get anything to work - my recorder has midi too which could be useful to figure out.

Figuring that out would be pretty useful for recording.
