Love it. Sounds like it could have been released anytime in the last 30+ years and sounded like the new Cure record, and I mean that as a compliment. Also no filler, which I don't think they've made an album without at least 1-2 filler songs since...Pornography? Even Disintegration would be improved...

Studiomeda in Evanston. I have no idea what that place was like, but I think Steve did other stuff there early on as well.

Need a helping hand? Know of a forum member that could use a lift? Please share here. FM J Burns of USS Horsewhip, Police Teeth, and Negative Passengers suffered a heart attack over the weekend. He's made it back home from the hospital, but he and his partner, Heather, could use a bit of help. If y...

I never thought I’d ever say this again but the new the Cure album is pretty great. Sonically solid, lyrically mature misery and not one of those high pitched squeals. It's really good. Like not just "the best since Disintegration" good maybe even as good as their best records. 8 songs, 5...

FM Eliya just gave me back my old Silkworm cab (very generous, he bought it from me 15yrs ago). It's a Mesa 2x15 with EVM-15Ls in it. It weighs approximately 1000lbs. It sounds great, now that it's been glued and screwed back into non-rattling shape (must-do process with those guys, not the greates...

Origin Effects Bassrig Super Vintage (fake SVT) into the power amp section of an Aguilar Tone Hammer (probably any good power amp for bass). ... Does not look cool at all, though. When I was using a Quilter head, I kept it on the floor kinda tucked behind the cab. No one needs to see that shit. I n...

Was that Tweez demo recorded by Brian Paulson? By another guy? By the band themselves? By the band on a boombox. I imagine it's not far off sound wise from the demos that came out with the Spiderland reissue a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6woQHlAo_A https://www.youtube.com/watch...

The drummer from my band has been in the long running metal band Heiress for almost 20 years, and they just put out a great new record:

Like the In Utero remix, I'm glad both versions exist, and I can hear things I like with both the original and the Ethan mix. I'll likely listen to the Ethan mix a few more times, and then whenever I get the hankering to Tweez, I'll go back to the original, same thing as w/ In Utero.

Not really a "sound better" thing but after playing heavy P-Basses and EGCs and Beans, I don't feel comfortable playing a bass that weighs under 10 lbs. I had a Rick 4003SW that must have been around 7 lbs and it felt like a toy, like I'd break it with just the slightest bit of rocking out...
