Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 28: Chicken Pot Pie

[JoeVictim]

Once, in a record store in Santa Cruz, I saw a band's EP that was a DAT shrink wrapped in a baby shoe. When I say "once", I mean it was on a shelf for sale for 5 years.

I could see sending those custom wood boxes with nice press kits to a few major labels (if your band gets to that point), but why be so hipster on your packaging that no one can even listen to it? I mean, c'mon... a floppy disk? Why don't we just go back to 8-tracks?

did you used to make all the girls in the wagon supermodels?

I was pretty young so prolly not, but I was the one kid that would go full bore straight through to Oregon and if people died, oh well.

For my next release I'm doing a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "That Smell". It's going to consist solely of me writing the lyrics on a piece of paper, putting it into a mason jar, farting in said mason jar, sealing it quickly and throwing it into the ocean.

Becks newest release is just sheet music.

This is pretty cool. Guy from Local H shows how he runs bass and guitar at the same time. Basically installs a P pickup on the bottom two strings of all his guitars.

I don't think they're really shooting for the same customer base, but I believe it. Clips?

I'll try and get some tonight.

cause its "cool".

the osedax's next release is going to be on floppy disk (and yes, ive heard of bands already doing this lol).

Weren't 5 1/4" disk something like 360kb? that's about 1 minute at a whopping 48kbps

Weren't 5 1/4" disk something like 360kb? that's about 1 minute at a whopping 48kbps

360kb / 48kb = 7.5 seconds of play time, you could expand it to 8 seconds of play time if you cut the quality down to cd quality (44kbps). My old grind band Palkoski released a 7 second single on a 3.5", well we made 3 copies so not really a release but yeah.....

I'm watching this Weedeater live set (Invalid Link Removed) and man, Dixie has some poor fretting technique. He's hitting those strings with the flats of his fingers. Yet he sounds so much better than me.

Always kind of cool to see someone do something their own way.

 

[JoeVictim]

So I straight up posted "Why cassettes?" and my post was removed. lol. Guess I'm not making friends.

How many points does the publishing company get?

 

[demon666]

RIC > tubes> 4x15's + 4x12.

Ear plugs. Ehh I can't use them. I've tried a couple of times but end up taking them out. I don't use them at work either and I bet using saws and nail guns all day doesn't help.

Sweet pic of Dixie in the Black Tusk shirt! I have that shirt, too haha

Two more days till I get my Sunn Concert. Can't wait to stick it on top of my 18" Acoustic cab. It's going to be glorious!

 

[mc_muench]

And hopefully in two days I'll have a working power supply, to try out my Concert preamp.

 

[Korladis]

So, back to a topic we were discussing, the band I linked is selling cassettes


Why do bands still waste money on these? (waste, IMO)

Because hipsters.

 

[demon666]

Because hipsters.

And boom boxes
