I can’t fake, for God’s sake, why am I driving in the wrong lane?

board game baggies usually have a tiny hole in them, to let the air out when you’re packing the game away. not so great if you’re muleing some molly to your weekly game of Wingspan

People make out it is some sort of factually wrong documentary

Say what you will about stupid people, but I have to tell you this: I’ve had more than a few people tell me they did not wear seat belts because “the Dukes never wore seat belts”

I am not even fucking kidding about this. It’s not just about people today treating this TV show like it was a depiction of reality, it’s about people at the time doing the exact same thing.

I thought we were paying respects to the fallen dial tone

It’s only a dial tone if it comes from a land line

otherwise it’s just sparkling audio lies

that would involve having to talk to Kevin Hart

if all this shit was promo trolling

we can only hope

It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram

yeah a lot cheaper to force someone else to buy double the RAM. No thanks.

a) don’t let in anyone who acts like petulant children b) give adults an outlet for occasional outbursts that would make them sound like petulant children

This is still a perfectly sound method.

Getting the music you made in your own DAW to sound good on your home speakers is almost easy. getting it to not suck on shitty speakers? that’s an art.

if you want that capital ‘H’ without issues

Does this work on people?

see? IT FUCKING WORKS!!!

Please let me know what Creative Bassist Roommate thinks of our stuff. I always say you never know which song will be someone’s favourite (that’s why I try to do a good job on every one of them)

New stuff will be coming later this year.

Your roommate sounds fun. Just between you and me, I do have an AC/DC song in mind for a future album. It’ll be a challenge to get it just right, though. Could take a while. You’ll know it when you hear it.

Thank you for the kind compliment. You have to admit: this idea is pretty strange, isn’t it?

FYI there’s vocals from all three of us on those songs, a few are duets. Even people who know us very well have trouble guessing who sings which song.

hey thanks :) That’s so great to hear.
I enjoy talking about it because it’s such a fun project.

I really want to get the word out even more, but i gotta say: social media promotional type stuff can be pretty draining. and I want to focus on the positive things, y’know?

team “OLD WEIRDO” reporting for duty, :)

As of the past few years, I produce pop songs performed in a pastiche of Leonard Cohen’s mid-late 80’s style (when he really started to sound super cool). My buddies and I call ourselves The Three Leonards. Our covers of Toxic and Rusted From The Rain have proven very popular. They’re not jazz but they’re also not not jazz. The cool kids seem to like them. We’ve made over 20 bucks in streaming which is as close to success as you can want. Have a listen and see what madness sounds like.

As far as home studio kit goes, I run Reaper: it’s just great.
Also a shout-out to ReEQ for Reaper which is free and as close to FabFilter as I need.

I have a Nektar 61-key MIDI keyboard. Just the right size. One slider on it has gone wonky but I don’t use the sliders that much. I like the touchpads; they’re fun.

I record vocals and acoustic instruments using a Scarlett interface and a really sweet mic from Blue evidently from before they got bought out. I got it as a gift and it does the trick.

I have a reasonably decent multi-effects pedal from Boss that I mostly use for gigging but occasionally for studio tracking.

I did buy Diva and Kontakt and SSD and Analog Lab : they’re all super handy, and are the ones I lean on the most. There are plenty of free VSTs out there to use: only when freeware/demo versions are insufficient should you consider spending money.

but yeah: OLD: check. WEIRDO: double-check.

This movie is goddamn awesome.

It managed to capture the serenity, the adorableness and the utterly uncompromising brutality of the characters as they were originally portrayed in the book.

People should watch this movie. It teaches so many valuable lessons.

Sarcasm doesn’t come naturally to everyone. You’re doing great, though. Really. Super job.
