This thread deserves to be sculpted into stone for future generations to read. If I had one millionth the strength of Grabski I'd be superman. I cannot wait to hear your record and to share it with everyone I know.You are the best.

I have nothing very useful to add. I just wanted to say that this is my favourite thread of all time ever. Joy, tears, inspiration. The PRF is the most winningest. She is the beautiful.

Think I'm gonna try out my Sunn head today, then I'm gonna take it to John Nau.http://web.mac.com/tom.hedrick/iWeb/Nau/Welcome.htmlI might get him to craft a footswitch for it as well.

All the best for your recording Mister Grabski. This is a great thing.I'm truly sorry about your illness. I lost my Mum to spindle cell sarcoma a few months ago. It didn't seem so long ago, she said "I have this little thing in my leg but it's probably nothing to worry about." Best wishes.

I think this is great and will support it however I can.If I have one piece of advice it's this: Lyrically, write as honestly as you can. (unless i'm a dimwit and it's going to be instrumental)You are in a unique and somewhat freeing place that way. Writing about your situation can be powerfully lyrically as well as musically. I like what i've heard, good riffs and the basis for some good structure if you stay vigilant with the compositions. There is a vaguely desert rock with a touch of doom element to it. If I heard it on a blind listen, I would like it.Question:Are you wanting to keep it to just you and your brother on this recording or would you be potentially interested in the idea of special guests? (note: I am not talking about me)

Thanks for the feedback. Lyrically, a little bit of the material does indirectly address what I'm facing; it's really indirect though and allows the listener to make their own interpretation. I'd be down with special guests, sure! I'm thinkin', like.... Michael McDonald? Or a televangelist?

Truth be told, Faiz does a pretty spot-on McDonald if you are going the discount route.Ah, yacht rock... set sail.http://youtu.be/jMTI8vg7A5U
