style is "post punk" i guess. our guitar player runs a clean tone w/delay mostly so not a lot of chords or anything, more picky guitar parts, lots of space...i'm thinking maybe 30ips will be better for us, we aren't really balls out or thick at all.

i've been trying to figure it out by googling, and there's a lot of conflicting claims...it would make sense (to me, having little technical knowledge) that 30ips would be better? more hi-fi? but then i see things that say 15ips is better....band is going to record soon and need to know how much tap...

That's problem one: you listen to Steely Dan. Woah! Easy there killer. zom-zom's done more for the music you like than you even realize, and he did it before you were born. True. But I didn't know he was such a troll! Wow. It's like he's never seen them internets before. Jesus. Today he must have m...

I went to the Mpls show last night. Pretty fucking unbelieveable...best rock show I've seen for ages. STNNNG are great as always.

but conclude that our poet is an idiot, using words incorrectly because he likes the way they sound. Peart's lyrics are objectively bad, no doubt. (Though I love Rush in a wierd way that I can't explain or even defend....I couldn't make one rationally thought-out argument for why they are GOOD, so ...

This is terribly sad news...Silkworm is one of my favorite bands, and Michael was an inspiring drummer. All the members of that band seem like such nice guys as well....this is just terrible....My condonlences to all of SKWM's friends and family.

The Radiohead hate thing I think is funny....every music board I ever go to always has people that are "Man, Radiohead is SO OVERATED, what a bunch of hipster crap!" and then act like they're the ONLY ONES in the world that "see through the hype", when in actuality that's like the prevailing view am...
