Happy bday Tasha!

yeah really don't get my comment wrong, i'm talking solely about the sound of the new album - the couple shows I saw were high energy sweat-a-thons for the performers - lotsa energy, and they were totally down to earth....

Love em. Liked Manitou better when it didn't sound like Brian Wilson on a synclavier....saw them live a couple times with double drummers and crazy projections, good fun. Yes it's brilliant but you know what? I'm not that big a fan of 'pet sounds' either and it's brilliant...there I said it.

Anyways, definitely some cool sounds, manitou hit a bit harder...wasn't until he started trying to sing that the focus was lost...

That sashimi looks awesome....Happy bday Ms. H!

yup. good times.

absolutely!

ok that was fuggin great - so many amazing bits in there!!! the mandelbrot teddybears was a kick ass moment...then again the cat doing kickflips while riding a daschund was pretty cool too!

IN!

I was going to go as a poopship destroyer but that would be like making fun of Gateuex really so I decided against it.

So i'll just wear my everyday clothes and know deep down inside...i'm the Stallion.

i might have a couple extras - got people wussing out because i'm not driving back after the show...

will know wednesday night...

oh christ that is painful...

Mmm Cajun dry rub!

not to hijack this thread anymore but isn't that a happy ending in Louisiana?

I still remember his schtick on letterman about Pepperidge Farm Bread with an inner wrapper...."I don't buy it because I don't need another step between me and toast"

fuggin right!

Yo KevO - i'm a big fan - lotsa times when they play Scott Farmer (of BNB fame) plays keys with him...cool shit.

i'm really hoping they break out the LMLYP encores...

Y'know, never been a huge fan, bit too hippy wishy washy for me but ever since a buddy of mine started drumming for him(Dave Tolley) it's been an interesting push into a heavier direction...

He just came and visited me at work, talked about the tour, opening for Dave Matthews and other veddy cool schtuff...some great footage can be had here:

..and it looks like Fab Channel has lotsa great stuff up...

Mr. Scruff is awesome he had a huge hit that ended up in ten different commercials, breakbeaty number that started with a clarinet loop - he's a wicked DJ as well...

Speaking of wicked DJ's, check out the Mark Farina Mushroom Jazz series - must be up to or past #6 by now...fantastic mixes, most done live - downtempo jazzy, funky, all the goods....some fun trickery to keep it unique.

For artists I love Lemonjelly, Blue States and Dhizan & Kamien - very unique artists that are somewhere near St. Germain...even Kruder & Dorfmeister hits the same stride every now and then.

for something more atmospheric check out

Ulrich Schnauss, all 3 albums are fanfriggintastic.

But the one I will recommend over all others is the Avalanches album - try and get the Australian version not the import as they couldn't clear a whack of samples here that makes that album jaw-dropping... One hiphoppy track called Frontier Psychiatry has all the rhyming lyrics comprised of a myriad of samples...acted out in the video...

Hey Sasha is coming to TO the night after Ween...

I fuggin' love 'While you were sleeping'...some of the best lyrics i've ever heard.

I did not know that craziness about his folks. weird.

wait a second here they are heavy as shit most of the time - favourite tune off the second album are 'second-hand smoker' because it's so heavy...the first EP though is where it's at - hell it must've come out in 92 or around there because I bought it before I bought 'the pod'...'Carjack' and '1.0' are still some of my faves...

No shit...when has ween ever done a 10 minute plus song....

LMLYP!!! an old classic. Hell live they are usually half an hour...

If you get bored of ween pick up the first couple Moist Boyz albums...

indeed - saw him for the first time at Lolla95 and was in awe - seen him 3 or 4 times, each time great fun...Midnite Vultures tour at the Gardens was my last show there...

is that Ernie from sesame street narrating?

(veddy facking cool!)

I'd hit up some of the audio DIY forums - there are tons for guitar stompboxes, or even tapeop and groupdiy could help...

Dave Tolley - Fuggin great drummer/percussionist from Kitchener, used to work with him... currently on a world tour with Xavier Rudd. Excels at all things percussion, and unique in that he is a master cajone player -

I hear more people draw a line between Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd than Radiohead, that's for sure - dont' get me wrong, I actually love all 3, but stylistically Radiohead is the odd one out-

if the diodes blew up they were in backwards- the white line on them should be aligned with the line in the schematic... is it a kit from buildyourownclone or something?
