Movie: *Dark Crimes*

Jim Carrey and Charlotte Gainsborough and a buncha Polish actors inna pretty deep Euro-noir. 4/5 olives.

7 S-songs notes

In answer to a query:

All the drums are real, constructed by me from various downloaded stereo tracks, heavily edited.

The second song, “Trippin'” just has a lead guitar and a rhythm. All guitar tracks have a close mic and a room mic – recorded inna spare bedroom.  The mic’s on the guitars are ribbons, the close is a CAD Trion into a Universal Audio 110 pre, and the room is a Shinybox 23L into a Focusrite ISA1 or Universal Audio 710 pre.  I tend to pan the room out to the side, ex., 5:00, and then the close mic closer in, say 3:00.

The bass are all my Hohner BA2 (headless) with flats, into various pedals (or none), into an Ampeg BA108 mic’d with a Peavey 520i (similar to an SM7b) then paralleled into a Groove Tubes Brick into a dbx160XT, the other side into a Meek VC3Q.

The vox are either an M-Audio Luna or a Sennheiser MK2 or an MXL Genesis FET or a Sterling Ocean Way 6050 into either a Meek VC1Q to an 1176 clone, or a Summit into an ART VLA2.

#3 “Liein’ There” is an actual performance-doubled lead vocal.

The guitars are all my Tele into a Vox Nite Train into a 1×10″, with various pedals, or none.

The songs have notes of the instruments and FX, altho’ they are somewhat abbreviated.

Aiight, I gotta crash before it’s time to trip on the tryptophan!

Movies: Siberia; Our Kind of Traitor

Siberia: Keanu, some soft-core porn, violence, decent acting and scenery as diamond merchant goes to title land to find missing partner and gets some love and bullets – says nothin’. 3 olives

Our Kind of Traitor: Ewan MacGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Damian Lewis are excellent. Great story keeps you guessing, awesome scenery, great ending as Russian accountant is traitor assisted by poet and MI5 in LeCarre story. 4.5 olives

Band name riffing

Postered at lostoverture:

Well, I have a tribute act, showcasing the music of the Who and the Beatles and Ian Hunter’s first band. It’s called (wait for it, wait for it) Mott the Hootles.

Then there’s Morrissey’s new metal band, Aerosmiths …

Then there’s Josh Homme’s new Freddie Mercury/Keith Richards tribute, Queen of the Stoneage.

Also, there’s that new grown-up Aussie kiddie band, Boys to Men at Work.

And, there’s the new indie-reggae band, Dinosaur Junior Murvin and the Maytals.

Oh, and that porn-punk-country combo, Sex Pistol Annies …

Oh-oh-0oh! I almost forgot the new-wave hard rock band, ABC/DC.

And the indie-metal/Robert DeNiro tribute, The Smashing Rupert Pupkins.

Finally, the dance band yer mom loves, The Tom-Tom Jones Club.
