Random Music Talk XCIX - Hating on Mediocre Australian Bands with Keiran and the Gang

[iron yuppie]

I liked the lyrics to Fancy better when I thought they were saying "can't you taste this scone?"

For the musically inclined here, what programs do you use to record? I don't feel like buying a Macbook just to get Garageband, and there must be a better way than Audacity.

I use Reaper.

It has a free trial that lasts for a while (perhaps unlimited?) and is pretty powerful and easily modded. Has a little bit of a learning curve, as some things like monitoring your input while your recording can be unintuitive.

Restart and Reboot Yourself - U2 Feedback

The story is absolutely fascinating if it's not a fabrication, but at this point I don't really care. L'Amour is so beautiful and heartfelt that it doesn't matter to me if it's all a marketing ploy.

Finally listening now. The best word I can use to describe it is fragile. The vocals sound like the guy is passing out of existence - certainly one of the more distinctive and eccentric vocal records I've heard in a long time.

And I'm sure I will end up buying HOTH as well,

Guys, watch out. This thread's almost done and I think Cobbler could be awake.

Random Music Talk C - Hating on Mediocre Australian Thread Titles with Martha and the Gang.

 

[iron yuppie]

Will it really be "C" now? I lost track of what the numerals were saying a long time ago.

 

[Axver]

Yep, XCIX is 99. If Cobbler reads this, he'll probably kick himself for not making the thread title a 99 Problems gag.

I don't know anything about this group, but this album cover made me laugh.

Ok, i'm not even advocating that, I'm just blue skying here.
