Thanks so much for listening @High5denied & I'm chuffed that you liked it. Yes, I'm going to bring the vocals up & try to sort the bass out. It sounds different on each set of headphones I've borrowed & used.
There was a statistic about the really high percentage of listeners using iPhone headphones a couple of months back. They sound different again! I suppose THAT needs to be a consideration when mixing now as well. Thanks for your kind words.
It's really easy to use, you just select an amp/effect/cab from the list, drag and drop the order you want them in, tweak the dials and off you go. I made my Fender strat sound like Syd Barrett's Telecaster so I'm well chuffed with it.
No I heard that track in 77' when a mate bought it, same time as the Pistols. In those days you discovered music through friends - not much radio or tv play, and no internet. I was a schoolboy hippy but dyed my long hair green as my mates all went punk, but I didn't fancy going the whole hog, though I did join in with the bin bag fashion until it got too sweaty.
@monzo haha yes those bin bags! Very fetching as my mum would say. "You've more bin bags on than the council tip receives in a year!" I remember getting a right bollocking for turning my dads old wedding suit into a safety pin, chain, padlock, ripped piece of cloth to wear to a Damned gig. I agree, if it wasn't for Sir John Peel on the radio, we wouldn't have heard most of the punk tunes back then.
Have any of your SOTMC tunes (or any others) got your Fender guitar work on them? I'd like to hear some if so please. I will be getting that app so thanks for the explanation. Sounds like even a novice like me can have a play around & get some nasty sounding stuff out of it. Happy Days!
@monzo forgot, good docu on BBC4 now. Music for misfits.
@Bluepunk Got into punk via the ANL and hanging about the King's Road before we knew it was a place to hang about and as an excuse to fight skinheads which was the only sort of thuggery my dad would have even vaguely approved of ("But Dad, it's just like having a go at the Black Shirts in the East End....")
@richardyot many, many thanks for the explanation. I've listened to both tracks & I'm starting to hear/get what you mean. So many intricacies that I wouldn't have noticed or understood.
Yes, I'm really interested so will check out Hook theory to get a grip of the basics as guitar based tunes are what I want to play. (Just watching a docu on BBC4 "Music for Misfits" which cements where I want to go). Jesus & Mary Chain,New Order, indie bands, Factory records etc amongst others.
Yum, yum re your headphones. Wish Christmas was tomorrow. I need them now! Thanks for the links. Appreciated.
No pro account here either & as soon as I can get onto my misses Mac I will remix & upload as I can't upload from my iPad.
Thanks for all the detailed info. Lots to learn & I know I will enjoy it all, even if I have a fair amount of brain freeze working thru it all.
The ANL. Those lyrics something like "I f....d a sheep, I f.....d a goat, I shoved my c..k right down his throat......so what, so what" etc. Brilliantly sick! Crikey......you were one of the originals. Down the Kings Road back then. Just think, if you'd walked into the "Sex" shop before Mr Lydon did, you too could have been on the Piers Morgan show last weekend. Excellent interview I thought.
Are you going to throw some punk out for us to enjoy this month?
Ps those headphones look tidy (nice) in the pic you have of your shirt.
I have been a bit of a gadfly/magpie on dear SOTMC, seemed/seems the best way for me to learn as quickly as possible (or I might just be untethered , but can't say I've thought about doing a punk anthem. Certainly still have the energy, and vitriol, but there's something about it which feels (to me) like a young man's game. Or younger than me anyway. Or not. Contrary bugger at the best of times and it's 5pm here in Austin and the second weekend of ACL is about to crank up a few blocks away in Zilker and after several hours of indistinct but LOUD bass thrashing through the night air I might have enough irritant in me to spit some
Ooh thanks for that - just set it to record the repeat, taping Rockers on the Road as well.
Don't think there was any guitaring on my last SOTM, but there is some on the one I'm working on for this month - problem is I've been sidetracked by the very good Fugue Machine and will probably do some ambient bollocks instead.
I look forward to hearing that. I thought last months track was excellent & what with the tooth issues..........ouch! Hope you're feeling 100% better & managed to grab another recording of that farmer announcer so you can strut your stuff with the mangling. Yep, Ive seen all the Fugue euphoria & rightly so. I'm taking a step backwards & trying to get some basic music foundations before dipping my manky big toe into that pond. Bloody hell, The Associates on now. What a voice he had. Cheers!
Oh yeah I'm with you about it being a young mans game & there were times I was thinking.. Should I really be making/doing this. My niece was staying with us for a couple of nights & she was the one who said to me " if you want to have a dig at someone, do it like this (with angry music & words) cos you're far too old & slow for anything more physical." Fair point!
Hope that bass doesn't keep you awake all night but enough to bring those old Kings Road memories into the now. "Untethered, energy, vitriol, contrary bugger, crank up, thrashing through the night, enough irritant, spit some." You've some great punk lyrics in your comments above. Just three chords/notes needed & you're away!!
Writing (punk) lyrics have never been my problem However, I have found that now I've moved completely from cocaine to cortisone my interest in pogoing all night has lessened
But.....I do need to think of something for this month. Either punk or fugue I guess. Or maybe some more safety-pin country...:)
Ah, now you're talking. I think yours was one of the first songs I heard when I joined back in early summer & I remember thinking/commenting about your Country Punk delight. Unique to my ears. "Please Sir....I want some more?" "No Oliver, now piss off & pickpocket some more watches."
Country Punk Delight. I think I've found my genre. Dessert with extra spit!
@bluepunk yes yes YYYYEEEEESSSS! Turn the vocals up and crank it. Awesome job.
Meg Ryan liked it.
Here's mine for October: https://m.soundcloud.com/bvsmv/the-next-day/s-WJ245
It was an iOS/Abelton hybrid after my last all iOS submission. It's kind of a slow builder, not so much going on in traditional song structure. I used iKaosillator for a lot of the synth flourishes, and then degraded the sounds in Master Record to give it a noisy, worn out quality. A lot of the bass and pad sequencing was done in Garageband for iOS, and then I tweaked away on my Mac. I am really starting to like this workflow. I can jam away on my walk to work on my phone, and then tweak away on my Macbook to my hearts content. I then export stems to Abelton and jam some more.
Will be the title of my next entry
Very cool track. Stuck at work and on my third listen. Great piano? sound of the main riff.
Awesome! Thanks a lot. It's just a sampled e-piano with a little delay. I performed it with my Launchpad Pro, which really lets you do some expressive playing.
Like the atmosphere. Always an interesting/subjective thing how messed up is too messed up? The piano at the start is great but in another time we would have thought it 'wrong', love how that has changed.
Love the organ, it IS very dreamy.
Thank you so much @rkmonkey I'm chuffed that you like it, I'm just happy that I can actually (as a non guitarist) play a few notes. With the help of an app or two (distortion) I can then disguise the crap playing. Deep joy! Looking forward to hearing your next tune. I'm having problems uploading the edited version from my iPad but will sort with misses laptop when she eventually returns home after todays Welsh Sporting Bonanza finishes in the boozer. Ok, maybe tomorrow then!!!!
Ha ha, Love it!! There some miles in that. I also think that last months collaboration with @Matt_Fletcher_2000 was excellent, unique & needs to be revisited.
Thank you sir. Yes, it's interesting. I work so hard to make things sound nice and clean and then I go and warp some sounds. I think I have to add vocals on one of these next ones I keep saying that and I need to just do it.
I am making a note in my little book of future expectations....
@BvsMV professional sounding mixed to perfection for me. I love those chords/notes you have used which are wonderfully highlighted by the bass. I wish we could use those GB (Smart) instruments in the output of AB cos they have some great sounding instruments.
I like the guitar sound coming in at 1.37 & the way the track builds up at 3.0. The drums & hihat keep your journey on an even keel & I really, really enjoyed the whole song, style & vibe you've created. A big from me.
@BvsMV Nice understated downtempo tracks, quite subtle and definitely benefits from multiple listens. Surprising to hear such cool sounds emanating from the synths in Garageband.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000
This track is a lovely compliment to my mood at the moment, having just returned from a spiritual energy share meeting and I am somewhat blissed out!
@LostBoy85
Lovely song with a nice arrangement. Your vocals are also very good and very pleasant to listen to. The only constructive comment I could make is that some of the harmonies could be re-visited to tighten up a bit maybe?
@Touchconspiracy
If this was released to a wider audience I am sure you would find at least one rapper doing their stuff over this! Rap isn't my scene but I think this track could benefit from something else happening over the top
@Bluepunk
Took me back to the days of the Pistols and more particularly The Vibrators as I think your vocal makes it sound quite like their style of urban punk
If this was mastered to give it a little more clout and vocals were a little louder I think I could be even better! Well done on a great first song!
@BvsMV
Almost missed yours as I was scrolling through because there was no cover art showing! Reminds me a little of Zero 7 and I particularly liked when the beat picked up and then seems to alternate going forwards and backwards (or at least that is how it sounded to me)
Wait, I thought the SOTMC was a spiritual energy share meeting? There are others, out there, fully-dressed and, you know, in the flesh, IN PUBLIC?
@JohnnyGoodyear: Well, yes! I like to spread mine around a little, you know?
