thanks!

What are your favourite tunings?
TM: “The record we did right after Confusion Is Sex was a mini-LP called Kill Yr Idols [1983]. There’s a tuning on there that is GGD#D#DD. I always liked that tuning. It’s just three notes, but that’s what Kill Yr Idols and Brother James, and a few other things were in. It created this more heavy rock kind of sound that I really liked.
"The other tunings tended to be a little more squirl-y, some more than others, but this one was really open to the point where I could create songs with that kind of chug-a-lug to them but they still had that real minimal electric mantra sound. I’d like to go back to that tuning, actually, and do some more with it.”

Cool!
