Put those > please-Aimee-get-in-gear vibrations out there.... Although I think I read that Mann is working on a new album of her own, it's not only her projects that are delaying things. A couple months back, Anton Barbeau mentioned that he's been working with Scott writing new material, and I thought I read somewhere else - I thought on the LF site, but I can't find it - that Scott has indeed been writing and even doing home recording. And of course, he did just play out in his first full-band shows in several years - see Steve Holtebeck's fine review at www.toneandgroove.com. - ------------------------------- ...Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: crumple zones:: :: harmful or fatal if swallowed :: :: small-craft warning :: ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2004 14:38:40 EDT From: LkDylaninthmvies@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] actually on-topic - hide your children!

I wonder if he's doing a Myracle Brah type situation where, like Andy Bopp, he plays most or even all the tracks, or if he's doing an acoustic type thing with just him on guitar, like AniDiFranco did at home on her latest record. I think that would be fantastic, just Scott and a guitar. I've never thought of his voice as "miserable whine." I hope he doesn't still think that about himself. Please don't hide your children. I'm depending on them for future income. - --Mark S. p.s. (completely unrelated, this just popped in my head) last spring in a practicum for a math teaching methods course, my cooperating teacher had me teach the 3rd grade children fractions using fake laminated paper pizzas cut into slices provided to the school by Pizza Hut.

Well,now you know why it's taking 3 years for me to "do a record"....I was at the part where I need to write lyrics, and this part is always a chore for me, so I just put it off for 3 weeks or so! I sorta had an idea and a couple lines going on in my head, but thought it might help if I went ahead and set up for vocal recording, dicked around with settings and such, with the hope that it would get me going again. Primitive is the word for my recording techniques, but I still have lots of options (regardless if they're crappy ones!). I'm almost embarrassed to divulge my secrets, but the results can be relatively satisfactory. I basically run the mike (an old school SM58 i bought in about 1980 that I used in The Happy Eggs) through an Alesis reverb unit and then through my guitar pedals for compression, delay, chorus etc....as needed. I know. That's messed up, but it works for me. Yikes.... Anyway, it's fun messing around with this, and it did actually help get me going on the lyrics, working out cadence and stuff, seeing what fits, seeing what doesn't work at all, etc. This song is in a register that's at the top of my vocal limits, so it's important for me to write with that in mind. EEEEE vowel sounds are a lot easier for me to sing high, than OOOO vowel sounds. Some words are just plain easier to sing! In a nutshell, the song turned out to be very loosely about a guy in the future looking for the rotten bastards that put the "machines" in him. No, not THOSE kind of machines! You know, little tiny nano machine thingys! Well, long story short, he ain't happy about it. I decided to tape a practice run, and to burn it to disc so I can actually learn the damn thing, and also tweak accordingly. Sometimes I'm sooo smart! Hopefully I'll be good and ready next Saturday to do the track, and then mix it and move on to the last song. Before I get too damn old. Gil __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
