The Long Winters

Do you have a budget at all? One cool thing in completely the opposite direction would be to pick up an old Tascam or Fostex or whatever 4 track cassette recorder. Look on craigslist, I see 'em all the time for about $100. It seems like it's a lot easier to get good sounds on these than in a compute...

So, my company was just bought out by the competition, and today was the day we would find out if we still had jobs, and I was just completely freaking out, and I grabbed a random CD to sing along with on the way to work, cuz that always makes me feel better, right? So it happened to be When I Prete...

Well I've always considered myself to be a genius. The fact that nobody else agrees only solidifies my opinion. Ha!

Oh yeah, on the same youtube page is a version of the Western States Hurricanes doing this same song. That singer is such a dork!

Yeah, I was really thinking you should not be doing this, but I was wrong. This is great.

Hey, I used to be on here all the time. Finishing up my new record under the name The Black Amps. (pretty cool, huh? it's still just me and the drummer). I am trying to write songs which are more like short stories, and carrying on the John Roderick tradition of trying to say more with fewer words. ...

I am amazed. That was the record that made me want to start playing gtr. (one million years ago) As it was for many, but not many of us grew up to be Long Winters fans.

One does not wish to compare oneself with too great of an artist, for fear of raising expectations too high. But on the other hand, I love ELO.

Sorry to be one of those jackasses who never posts, and then comes on to spam you all with his CD, but... first off, I don't post anywhere these days. If I was still hanging out on line, I would be hanging out here, and on Tape Op. second, I truly believe that my crap will appeal to LW fans. I gave ...

...especially since I haven't posted in a year, but I am finishing up my new CD. I simply do not have the spirit to try and sell it in this world of short attention spans and endless consumer choices. I think it would be easier just to give it away. Although when you see something "free" on the web ...

CD baby is good, they get your stuff on internet radio and itunes as well, and the money keeps trickling in.

I could drive to Detroit, but, If you've read John's description, you might understand my reluctance. He makes it sound like some cool sci-fi movie set, but actually, to me, it was more like downtown Kabul.

Hey, Anth-Kitty! How'd that fuzz box work out?

Sorry, but I just checked tour dates, and am mightily vexed. Yes, I understand that they are driving a van, not flying in a magic tour jet. Yes, I can believe they have sold more records in Toronto. Yes, I understand, it is a long way around the lake. (that is what makes it a great lake, not simply ...

correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't the last m5 entittled 'death to wilco'?

this is the coolest borad on the web!

i am kinda like the boss at work (after the real boss goes home), plus, it's my CD player, so I am inflicting my impeccable musical taste on an almost daily basis. except thursday, when we have DISCO NIGHT!!!

mmmm. Ivars!

ooooh! i'm convinced that Beyonce is 100% pure evil (and not in a good way)
i like the new Britney single

dude, i never use my danelctro daddy-o, send me yer address n i'll ship it off to ya! (sorry, don't have any spare guitars)

huh, i hate the new modest mouse far less than previous adventures into unmusical inscrutability.... i make it a point to only listen to music that i really like a lot...where i succumb to peer pressure is the music i will actually talk about listening to, fer instance i truly love the first Pete Yo...
