The Long Winters

just saw this, sounds v. cool.
but wait... there are... more other projects?

does want.

Ok sure, the progression is quite common, but that is like the same strumming/syncopation almost exactly. I'm not complaining, both are great tracks. BOAT's album was one of my favorite surprises of 09.

Anyone else notice an uncanny similarity between BOAT's "We Want It! We Want It!" and a certain other track close to our collective heart?

I really enjoy this one from John's twitter, and best is the caption for it: "Somehow all of this comes as a result of being just an OK guitar player." http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/large/1552808.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1261979873&Signature=9I4FSgkKVZK0AKl8gs7AjsYDYw...

A-ha! I see. Pardon my doubling, I was so surprised I couldn't even progress to the next forum. Feel free to get rid of this, mods.

Looks good! Is this a sign of news to come??

I heard it's a track by track cover of Huey Lewis and the News' Sports.

The Maldives <3333

you know, i meant to ask this when the album came out, but what's with "teaspoon" anyway? (as the chorus)

I'm all for a "I Don't Feel Like Playing the Tambourine to That, So Much" tee-shirt.

Trial and error is essential, and the bane of my existence. Nothing quite like recording a whole album's worth of guitars and then realizing "oh, if you just move the mic a little more off the cone there, it sounds infinitely better" and then doing them all over again. The sad thing is, I know it wi...

for basic recording (I'm now using Cubase 4 for big projects), I've always loved Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ), a great little recording program with nice digital effects built in if you want to add reverb, delay, distortion, tremelo, etc to guitar parts. Also really quite intuitive!...

Nah, all that was left that I was remotely interested in were the Grizzly Bear and Black Moth Super Rainbow 7"s but at $7 - $9 they didn't really seem worth it. Seriously, what's up with the 7" price gouging?? Though in hindsight (cue TLW joke), I should have got them because they're selling for lik...

just a regular Civic... at 36 mpg normally, it seemed a little silly to pay 5,000 more for 5-10 extra mpg.

a friend is posting me the Graham Coxon 10" from the UK which features an etching by him on the B-side pressed just for RSD!! win!! Sour, didn't see any copies of the Cursive, the manager of the store I went to said 2 guys showed up at 10am and bought like 50% of the indie singles. Thanks 2 guys, no...

First new car! Woop!
I am now broke for the next 4 years.

Dang i was just about to link to this. Brad is a great guy and (especially since im boston area) i loooove his blog.
It just got a nice redesign like 3 days ago, too.

Over on the Harvey Danger board we've got a league going that is a bit scant right now (only 5 teams). Want to join forces mayhaps?
