Ask a music scene micro celebrity

For your own listening pleasure, digital music (CDs) or analogue (vinyl)?

[/ QUOTE ]
If I'm going to put on a record for pleasure, it will be a vinyl record, unless I'm at work. Understand though that I listen to original masters all day every day, and so I'm less likely than most people to want to throw on an album when I knock-off at midnight or whatever.

Any thoughts on the new higher sample rate/bitrate SACD or DVDA releases?

[/ QUOTE ]
Doesn't matter, since both formats are now dead, but I think a greater bit depth (24 bits is plenty) grants a bigger quality improvement than increasing the sample rate. The downloadable version of the new album from my band (Shellac of North America) is available in compressed formats, but also 16-bit or 24-bit 44.1kHz versions. We did it as an experiment to see if anybody appreciates having it available.

I thought the Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones remasters sound great on regular systems. Maybe SACD would be better.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, I'm pretty sure they're still going to have Dylan and the Stones on them.

[ QUOTE ]
who was the biggest pain in the ass to work with?

[/ QUOTE ]
That would be Urge Overkill.

[ QUOTE ]
were there any bands you recorded that were so damn good, you wish you were in their band?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I wanted to be in the Jesus Lizard and Fugazi after about ten seconds. In either case it would have made the band more lame though.

[ QUOTE ]
how often do you wish you were 2+2'ing instead of recording?

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe a better question is how often does the band have to wait for me to finish reading a BBV post before they can do another take? Happens every day.

Should have proof-read this post above. It should read:

There are also the rare cases of bands who change from the second type to the first, and they have an obvious cutoff date after which they went from awesome to awful. Aerosmith and ZZ Top are the most obvious examples.

My question: Are you sick to death of people asking you about Big Black?

[/ QUOTE ]
No, it's a natural thing to ask a guy who was in Big Black. I understand. No big deal.

Awesome. So, obviously my next question is...

And WTF happened with Urge Overkill? Sounds like a HELL of a story...

Do you ever have people recognize you and run up to you in public and start gushing about how they loved your work with _______?

If I recognized you at the grocery store, and I had a broken arm and wanted you to sign my cast, would you?

[electrical]

So, basically I wore you all out. Okay.

I'll check in from time to time.

I'll flip you for $40 on FT table Guru right now. Type urge overkill in chat and I'll sit in.

Thank you for Mclusky Do Dallas!
I could rave on and on about this album and many of your recordings.

What do you think of the chopping and screwing mixes of hip hop music?
Does this type of remix have any future in rock?

Also, should I ever fold KK preflop? (just joking, but I'm so glad to see you're a poker player.)

Edit: Also, thanks for the only good "Ask Me" thread in BBV. You know, OOT is recruiting...

Damn! I'm at work. I'll take a rain check, if we're ever on at the same time some night.
