James Demby replied to shmo's discussion looking for a second amp in the group Bands & Musicians"If you can find one (it shouldn't be too hard) get a Fender '63 reissue Brown Vibroverb. It's a very nice 2x10 40 watt combo with a kick ass tube bias tremolo plus reverb. You can usually find them at a reasonable price."
Drew Smith replied to shmo's discussion looking for a second amp in the group Bands & Musicians"I find you can never go wrong with a solid, good old Peavey Bandit."

i am having intermittent tone troubles with my Bandmaster, and i will eventually get it looked at. but for now i would like to explore some other sounds anyway.Side note- I purposely avoid studying gear the same way i avoid "mastering" scales/ the fret board. i don't know what my theory is really, but it seems to take some of the rock and roll out of it, to me.so... i am a craigslister, and out looking for a used midsize / back up amp. lightweight would be awesome. and maybe i should get…See More
shmo replied to ShapelyDice's discussion What's most alluring to you: combo organ, fuzz, raunchy vocals, jangly guitars, galloping bass lines, groovy melodies, teen put-down lyrics?""crunch" is probly the most likely thing to grab me off the street. usually from great guitar tone, but crunch can come from vocals, too. (think modest mouse). then it takes attitude to keep me interested. i don't mean you have to…"

John Battles replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"The Pulsebeats , That's a lot to consider , having to hire the venue yourself , and the other people that have to be paid , Soundman , Doorman , etc. I think a lot of people in your position break even , at best , the first…"
The Pulsebeats replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"When we put The Dirtbombs on it was our first time putting on a band of their calibre. Before that we'd mainly put on bands who were happy to take whatever door money there was on the night, so we thought 1000 pounds was a lot to begin with and…"
D. A. Anguiano replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"Can I just say what a classy bunch of guys and gals you guys are. For being such a hot-button issue, this conversation has been downright civil. Cheers, everyone! Glad to be a member."
John Battles replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"I think that part speaks highly of Albini. I remember , amidst working with much bigger names , that he produced Chicago - area Punk legends ,The Mentally Ill's first - ever studio CD. As good as the finished product (And I wish I…"
"I do think selling out is an adolescent idea, myself. It can stifle your artistic progression and your ability to make your band economically and practically viable. You may have to sign to a major record label to get your story and…"
The Pulsebeats replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"D.A., I totally agree with you on the whole FM radio front and obviously there is a large foundation of bands and promoters, especially within the hardcore scene that basically run everything. It's there, albeit I think to a lesser…"
John Battles replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"Ghislaine , That's a great line "(They) wrote 21 songs that are ALL hits".

John Battles replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"Not that it matters , but , it occured to me , The first time I saw Sonic Youth was in 1986.
I only saw them in 2003 because they were opening for The Stooges. Same with Shellac , a few years later.

John Battles replied to shmo's discussion what does "selling out" or "making it" mean to you?"....While I agree , especially with the last line you wrote , D.A. , not everybody who's smug makes it , or gets branded a sell out.

Matt replied to MikeL's discussion Bubblegum Music in the group Destroy All Music"I love Bubblegum! People talk about the music of the late 60s-70s like it was all Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix, but Bubblegum is what actually got played on the radio (AM, at least).
