Kirk took a lot of drugs
Off topic, but years ago I saw a video on YouTube (I think) where Kirk is playing with a super hot band, really fast crazy trippy jazz, and at one point he offers the front row of the audience what appears to be some lines of coke. The band was playing on the floor, rather than on a stage, and he just walked up to the front row with a flat thing and people in the audience appeared to sniff coke, and the band were all super sweaty and grinning like banshees. Black and white video originally from VHS I think. I've never been able to find it again but it was amazing.

The best method I found was to verbalise scratch sounds that you want to create, and then go create them
A lot of jazz guitarists do this while they're soloing. I sometimes find it pretty annoying/amusing if I'm on stage next to them, but the audience can't hear it so no problem. There's one guy I do gigs with, his voice sounds so weird singing along to his solo (or I guess he's soloing along to his singing actually), I wish I could record his voice and get rid of all other sounds. He sounds like a cat prostitute being strangled.

It's like tai chi, which you practise really slow but then you can speed it up when someone dishonours your family, in order to kick their ass. Tai chi slow is relaxing, tai chi fast can fuck shit up.

I just got a text from LEON.
He said he'd drop 3 "yes-aye" verses on any beat you give him made on that no probs mate.
yeah that's no problem, just holla.
For real though, I kind of really want the OP-1

even though we can't detect the difference in quality, I think it becomes important when you are producing music and processing the audio. The better the quality, the less shitty the results of lots of processing. I'm sure you all know that already but just in case

I don't think this fact changes any of the arguments, but just so you know, a chord progression cannot be copyrighted. Only a melody.
Of course if you sample a chord progression you are sampling a recording, but if you write a tune over someone else's chords with a different melody you are fine. Happens all the fucking time.
The most common chord progression in pop music (based on my own unscientific research) is I - V - vi - IV and the second most common is vi - IV - I - V, which is exactly the same as the first except it starts on the vi. Just off the top of my head: Closing Time, Building a Mystery, track 2 from Green Day Dookie, that song with the circus freaks in the video by Red Hot Chili Peppers, also Under The Bridge by them, With Or Without You, Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry, the chorus of Take On Me...
just imagine all the amazing pop songs we'd lose if they couldn't have been written because of copyright law (I don't know how to do the comic sans thing)

Hey dudes, I made an all-vinyl mix to celebrate Mother's Day, or as some would have it, Mothers' Day.

muddiness is a matter of taste than right & wrong .
totally. A D chord with an A at the bottom works fine depending on context. It's almost exactly the same as playing an A chord with an open E at the bottom. Don't do it all the time but don't feel like it must be avoided at all costs

a reel to reel and a pair of monitors.

I too am a bass player, and I use my tuning pedal for this purpose. The Boss one, the TI-2 or something, super common tuning pedal. Mutes the signal when you tune. Or you can mute the signal and not tune, if you know what I mean

I borrowed my dad's car for a recent tour, and holy shit it has a tape player. So I found the box in the basement and I was rocking all these mixtapes and pause tapes I made as a kid. Tapes have a certain je ne sais quoi sound quality that I kind of dig. Some of the older one sound like shit though, and I could only listen to them because I've listened so many times that I basically have them memorized anyways.
The fact that formats are always changing is stupid and annoying, but one cool side effect is that each format is a snapshot of your taste in music at that time.
What's your longest Dj set?
