Wait... shouldn't you be the one dispensing advices in here?
I have no experience whatsoever in vocals recording, the only thing I used for that kind of stuff is a "standard" Shure SM58...
I thought you went through some others before going for the AKG.

knox 10.19.2010 04:07 PM

I did, and they were all shitty. So you can go into a shop and say please give me something that isn't shitty - they know these things.

Now I need a new guitar. I went out to try them out and didn't feel any of them. But this isn't advice is it?

Which reminds me... I need to remove a coffee stain from the sofa, don't know how.

Dear Knox,

I'm giving a seminar on Chicana radical lesbian feminism today to a crowd of white middle-class English people. At what point do I turn the discussion to Prince's Darling Nikki and my fetish for butch dyke drummers, and do I play it straight?

knox 10.20.2010 06:18 AM

It's all wrong. But you can make it right. It'll take lots of alcohol.

Glice 10.20.2010 06:29 AM

Dear Knox,

I love you but our love is forbidden by God. So fuck off. Question mark.

Glice.

Dear Knox, Blonde Redhead plays this Friday. What drugs do you think would be best to take? besides pot...because that's a given.

Considering their last album, something heavy.

Love,

did you not like it? PennySparkle? I was think somethin' heavy....but like somethin' that like mellows me out....ya know....like pot but x10..

I kind of thought the album was a practical joke and they'd say "of course this isn't the real album, you cunts" and then laugh. But they haven't done that so far. But of course I am VERY excited for you, especially because they will play old stuff right?

I don't know much about drugs, why not beer?

I think you have to stay away from speed tho, otherwise the music will seem ridiculously slow.

hmmm...At first listen. I was kind of disappointed. But this album grew on me. There are some stupid songs (Will there be Stars). This will be BR show number 3 for me. And they don't seem to play anything before Melody of Damaged Lemons which is disappointing. But I am hoping for Elephant woman. or just more off Misery.


But if I don't find some drugs before Friday...it'll probably end up being Pot and Beer....

vallium, xanax, kolonopin or ecstacy if it's not crap in your area of the world

EVOLghost 10.20.2010 02:31 PM

^ hmm interesting. I've never done many pharm drugs. So Xanax and all that jazz is quite new to me...hehe. I'll shop arond ;)

no offense but valium/xanax/klonopin sounds like you have problems w/ anxiety-- the right therapy with klonopin and/or other meds will work better than getting hooked on too many pills.

i take klonopin on occasion (prescribed) and it's not addictive, because unlike xanax it's slow acting so there isn't that compulsive aspect to it. plus xanax gives me nightmares after it wears off.

if you (or anyone) has anxiety problems, go get checked instead of self-medicating randomly.

imagine getting a serious cut (e.g., maiming a hand while operating a saw) and instead of going to the hospital you decide to "disinfect" yourself from the inside by drinking gallons of whiskey. exaggerating to make a point but it's the same thing.

SONIC GAIL 10.20.2010 03:02 PM

U know I've had my problems with the pharms. I was prescribed xanax but I voluntarily asked the doc to put me on kolonopin for the exact reasons you stated. I can't just quit the xanax without kolonopins cause that will make you have a seizure and other very negative withdrawal symptoms. No offense taken. I am really trying to get better. I quit pain killers and speed. I just take my dose per thee doc and smoke some herb.

good for you. xanax is very addictive. i hope your med coverage includes therapy cuz meds along don't make long-lasting changes. best wishes gail.

SONIC GAIL 10.20.2010 03:16 PM

No I get them from a family practice. I cannot afford yet to get to the psych. It is $300 first visit. I also take prozac for my anxiety. My drug habits have definitly been caused by self medication of mental issues. Xanax is the most addictive drug I have touched and I have tried nearly all. They are the devil. It is a long and hard road but I am slowly getting where I should be.

Thanx for your concern you are sweet:)

btw look at the above conversation and keep this in mind DO NOT take them daily. You will get addicted and they are far more expensive than regular street drugs.

They probably will, My Impure Hair is super nice. I think The FoxBen saw them a while ago back in Europe and he posted up the setlist. I believe they did throw in some 23.
