It’s very colourful, like an ad for film. Pretty.

Swallow the Sun, "Plague of Butterflies" Because it's been a few months since I listened to it last Because the temperature has dropped precipitously Because

What the fuck is wrong with you, Wish?

Unholy carp, this is cosplay! More here: @adamae_dono on Instagram

Brisket tacos are the best, I bet I would’ve enjoyed even your self proclaimed “less than better” tacos better than anything I could’ve put together. Me, now: green curry salmon, made from premade green curry soup (“just add protein”), added two Thai peppers and a small can of water chestnuts to increase the vegetable/meat ratio, over brown Basmati rice.

We have a thing over here called “ladyfingers”. No-one thinks they’re fingers. Not even someone with the IQ of Brent.

Condolences, Jeff. and yes, fuck Covid and fuck 2020

The Main Squeeze on YouTube. @grawk may like them, if he hasn’t already heard of them, especially the Squeeze House sets. Joyous Sunday Jams. The guitarist in particular is amazing. Full quarantine set:

Condolences.

Rest in power, RBG. I can only hope that your impact...oh, fuck it. (drinks) Fuck 2020

Happy birthday! Maybe drink some extra special wine on this anniversary of your expulsion from yo mama’s uterus? (party favour noise)

Porcupine Tree, Nil Recurring , The Incident, and Fear of a Blank Planet all on Tidal (recently added within the last 48 hours).

Nice collection!

Oh. 😐 So wouldn’t you just mic their mouth holes? 😬

Wouldn’t it be the same? Just a mic in front of the cone and then fine tune it to taste? (Some prefer on-axis, some prefer off-)

By the way, a friend posted about this, saying it was road-tested and a brilliant design: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SpiderProBK--k-and-m-spider-pro-black

It depends what sound you want. If you want that “audience taper” sound, then omnis, but unless you’re experienced, it’s hard not to get too much atmosphere, and not enough main instruments. I certainly couldn’t when I recorded myself that way. Ask Dan for advice if this is the direction you choose. I would place SM57s on the amps, myself. I wouldn’t worry too much about bleed, you’re going to mix it all together in the end. That said, “both” is the choice of professionals. They like to mix some ambience with the close-microphone recordings for “that live sound”. And you certainly have enough microphones to pull it off.
