so a weird thing is listening to some performances, especially live, and recognizing a inflooence, ex post facto, like
I mean I know Otis and Keef and J. and Ornette and Trane and Vernon and Sco and Hillel and Warren and Campbell and even Ash and Neil and Billy and of course Jimmy and Jimi, but listening to a 2013 Chelsea Light Moving bootleg, I realize Thurston, also, even tho’ I seldom alt-tune with the band

… mebbe a conspiracy theory:
The “MSM” is pushing written info aside
they want streaming to be the thing
(double Stoli screwdrivers! that’s the thing – you mitigate the acid reflux
and can claim to be drinking, healthy-like)

at 2:00 or so they have Clinton from ’98 speaking the new B meme of, “not age, but age of ideas”
then they show B saying the same thing at the SOTU
pretty smart

we have been recording full band live, lately, amp’d up
so, Studio Projects C4’s in XY 3′ in front, centered on the snare, 5-6′ up – I did just buy one o’ those printed ORTF clamps (at Reverb) that I’ll get around to trying …
57 or 58 or a old AKG (lately D6000) at the snare rim, 45 degree angle pointed at the center
Senn 602, 6″ from the floor, pointed up to kick center (no hole)
we record inna small house (drums in the living room, bass amp in the hall, guitars in kitchen and bedroom, lead voc 12′ in front of and facing the kit) so I get bleed in the other mics and I like to use the bleed, e.g., when a BV mic is only bleed on the track I’ll nuke that and bring it up under, in and out in different place in the mix; I’ll do that with the lead vocal track sometimes, like under the intro, outtro, “middle 8″*
I only have 8 tracks in my recorder so I use 4 on the drums, 1 each on the bass and guitar, 1 on the lead vocal – if only 1 guitar then I have the other for BV
I have occasionally messed up an OH track when breaking down the full session to indiv songs and so end up with 1 OH – I tend to use a bigger plate on the snare when I do that, pan the OH at 1:00 or so – no one has said anything the 3 or 4 times I hadda do it lately
I have also used only OH’s a few times because it sounded cool; I lost the snare track a cuppla times (same reason as above) and the OH’s and kick were used – no one seemed to notice, particularly when I duped an OH and gated it to just the snare to trigger a big plate
* our songs’ “middle 8” usually happens 2-3x and is anywhere from 8 to 32 or even more measures

so I buy this high-quality chorizo atta local international-kinda grocery store (Pete’s, btw)
sometimes I can only get the links, and so I hadda pound of it and I squeezed the filling out in the iron pan and I fried it quick
and spatula’d it out onna plate covered with a cuppla paper towels to absorb the grease (relatively not that much, as this is pretty high-quality US$6/lb stuff)
plan is let the paper towel absorb the grease then freeze the chorizo (what I minced with one of them plastic 4-prong mincers while frying) into a chunk and slice it off as needed
works a treat for a quick spicy brekkkie what at my age keeps the system, eh, loose
but then I cook this mornin’s eggs in that same fry pan with some of that chorizo and put in some onyums and pickled jalapeno’s and pickled carrots and slop it on 4 corn tortillas with summa my fave sauce (Tipatio) and eat that greezy mess and have a fresh-ground coffee and, well …
the grease is awesome
