what it's like to record my band

[guitfnky]

just a fun little thing I did.

I mean, it's only a pop song. How hard could it be? I could do it if I wanted to.

Said everyone who never actually wrote a pop song ever.

This was funny!

Music production like growing a garden. Shit in = fruits and vegetables and flowers.

There's a slim possibility I was riffing on his funny with another.

I knew it was all in good fun.

it really can be deceptively difficult. there are some classic pop tunes that seem really straightforward, until you try and learn them (Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star comes to mind). there’s a lot to be said for being able to hide that much subtlety and complexity in a pop format.

This is one of the first lessons I learned (the hard way, as they say). I knew hits and masterpieces must be difficult just by observing their rarity. And if asked whether a pop song with an ordinary degree of listenability were difficult, I might have said yes, but I didn't know it in my bones. It's easy to grow up twiddling a radio tuner and bass and treble knobs and enthusiastically build a record collection and read "serious" but ultimately fan-oriented magazines and think you know more than you do. But actually try to do the thing and the scales fall from your eyes immediately. I read somewhere one reason many beginning composers give up so easily is that they have good taste and so they correctly believe their own early efforts are terrible because they are, but what they don't realize is that's normal and only a very few nearly inhuman geniuses show up and dazzle without a ton of effort.

U R my hero,

also, kill ur heros
just sain, this is my own personal experience.
once met Roy Haynes, didn't want to kill him
though a lot of his contemporaries did
They was wrong
I studied some drum playing, I know some stuff
Still stupid, after all these years...
Ur thots?

thoughts? we’re all stupid, which is why none of us are stupid. it’s all relative, my skin-smashing friend, and we’re all related. I may be an exception—I’ve got no rhythm.

also, killing is bad. even if they’re just heroes.

My bad. Occasionally I fall into the bottle.
Sorry

as long as you haven’t murdered anyone while in there, it’s all good.
