what are your talents? - Page 4

I recently proved my theory that if you're a decent guitar player then you can play the bass. I never play bass, maybe five times in my life and I am still better than my friend who's been playing for a year and 1/2.

jesus, look at me and imagine how hard it would be for me to deal with any mainstream success. i would be dumbstruck.

what I like about it is the "under" produced sound (I also like slow-druggy music with female singers, so that doesn't hurt you any either).

REAL music that's more about the act of playing, than it is about trying to impress anybody is more interesting to me than the terabytes worth of records, tapes and vinyl that I have. rawkin' the PC mic is hardcore.

I promise that I'm not saying these things to flatter you.

stay hungry and record more space rock.

Actually, becoming a fat slobbering alcoholic/druggy and then losing a lot of weight so your skin hangs down off of your bones. Sexy.

Oh yeah, and getting involved with that Owen Wilson situation. But I don't think you'll have a problem with any of those.

i have lost a lot of weight but not intentionally.
i'm never going to become fat and slobbery so don't worry.

that's nothing...im gonna buy a new ipod, load your song onto it 1000 times, and chain it to a heavily trafficked park bench....youre going to be a stah.

also, i really need to know your artist name, because when i listened to your track, and it got scrobbled, this is what i found on my last.fm...and i dont think you wanna battle these guys over a name

...or maybe you do...i dont know...this is a direct quote from their bio on last.fm..."They kill it in the disco"

being invisible.

Cantankerous · 09.10.2007, 09:32 PM

oh you've all made me feel special
i assure you i'm not.

gmku · 09.10.2007, 09:37 PM

wait a minute. Some audiophile crap I read today says red vinyl sounds like shit compared to black. Is that true? I have a lot of great sounding red vinyl.

Anyway, looks like we're back to black, Cantankerous.

Cantankerous · 09.10.2007, 09:40 PM

fuck that shit. i've seen gold or silver sparkly records (basically like clear vinyl with glitter in the middle.)
gotta keep up appearances now.

Dead-Air · 09.10.2007, 09:56 PM

Sounds pretty awesome Cantankerous. I'd like to hear you sing in front of some noisy echoey guitar. Sounds way more like morphine than the original!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.10.2007, 10:02 PM

I'm decent at cooking.

decent at playing guitar and singing

decent at masturbating.

I don't really think I'm really GOOD at anything, but I'd like to think I'm above average.
