I used to play guitar..... 2086 12
Started by Binokular
Like most people with more than passing interest in rock, I took up playing the guitar (really, really badly) in my teens but I haven't touched one in at least two years, yet lately I keep finding guitar picks I don't remember picking up in my pocket and stuff. I don't think I've been sleep-riffing as the neighbours haven't complained.
What does this mean Your theories please...

How has Phantom FM being back changed your listening habits 7778 40
Started by klootfan
Phantom FM must be back a good 4 months at this stage is it Halloween 06 was it not.
Anyway, I have to admit that from being a frequent listener in the past, I dont reckon Ive spent more then 30 minutes listening to them since they launched. I duno what it is really. When ive tuned in they just seemed to have been playing alot of the music they were playing in the old days... but that was probably just bad timing on my behalf.
So what do people reckon. Are they any good. Should I...

I want my old Idlewild back 1970 6
Started by klootfan
Ive been a massive Idlewild fan going back to their first EP. Always looked forward to the their new albums.
However, I wasnt too impressed with their last album and im even less impressed with their latest attempt. They have lost their edge. Too much blandness has crept in. Gone are the tunes which made you want to jump into the mosh crowd for, and in replace we have these melodic REM style tunes... which just arent up to scratch.

The Everly Brothers 2766 8
Started by Protein biscuit
Okay, not exactly cutting edge but i stumbled across a tune on the Jarvis Cocker curated 'The Trip' album from these guys called 'I Wonder if I'll Care as Much' and i have to say it's pretty amazing. I'd have normally passed little or no remarks on them after having been assaulted in the past by 'Unchained Melody' and the other one that i can't think of but am pretty sure i probably know all the words to.
So, anyone else have any musical surprises akin to this one Stumnble across a lost...

Long Lost Papa M 5719 5
Started by Helmet
Aloha,
a few years back I saw Will Oldham in Vicar St with a wee Mexican looking lad going under the name Papa M supporting.
I have since tried locating anything by him on D'Internet and in road/tower and the like but can't find anything. He did a fantastic version of Wayfarin' Stranger.
Can anyone help me out here

Thought you guys might be able to help me out. A friend of mine says they played here in Ireland circa October 1998. Although I can't find any record of this on the net, I did come across it in my reading of the 33 1/3 book. Can anyone shed anylight as to the dates and venue

Started by Binokular
SXSW has released a torrent file with over 700mp3s from bands playing the festival (yes it is 100 legal).
Download it here:
http://www.donewaiting.com/sxsw/archives/2007/02/sxsw_releases_f.php
or direct link to torrent: http://player.sxsw.com/torrents/SXSW_2007_Showcasing_Artists-Release_1.torrent
You will need a Bittorrent client to download it and it's 3GB (sorry dialup people or folks surfing in work). Should keep your iPod busy for a while.

Techie help 1953 3
Started by Archie
Hi. Just bought a bass. The thing is we're going to be feeding it straight through a mixer and to a PA system, bypassing the whole amp business. Basically what we aim to have at the end is like a mini-studio, minus recording capabilities.
My question for anyone who might know, is this: bearing in mind that the mixer itself will act as a d.i. box so voltage and stuff like that isn't a problem, should we get a pre-amp I mean for getting the best possible projected bass sound into the mix....

DJ-esque Help 1796 7
Started by Idiot Kid
I'm getting married in November this year and I'm struggling to find a DJ who will play the type of music I want to hear/dance to at my wedding. They're all sending me demo cd's full of ABBA and Robbie Williams, and that's fine in small doses (ie when drunk enough) but I'd also like to hear some Interpol, The Cure, etc, basically indie tunes as well as wedding classics like YMCA (it's not for me, it's my uncle, he loves that song...) thrown in for good measure.
Anyone know where I might ...
