mornin', everybody. just a few things this morning to let ya know about...
great post by eric yesterday about our little "tube shootout" we had the other day. as eric stated, the valve jr. is a perfect amp for a test like that cuz it's got one preamp tube and one power tube, which makes it really easy to tell tonal differences between the different pre-amp tubes. now, we gotta find some vintage EL84's to swap out the power tube and see what kinda changes, if any, might happen. one slight correction from eric's post and that is that the telefunken tube was one i had lying around and not part of the magnatone's stunning array of vintage tubes. the damn thing has like 15 tubes!! and is a complete rat's nest of point-to-point wiring, as well! but whatta amp...
ty and i have been working the last week on drums quite a bit. the rmx for bertrand burgalat's "this summer night" was on the docket early in the week and so far the rmx has taken a very interesting turn. so far, it's sounding like a dub mix by trevor horn, if one can imagine such a thing...
we also did some drums to a song written for french artist and general renaissance man, jean-emmanuel de-luxe by the highly esteemed sean o'hagen of high llamas fame. it's a really interesting track that JED asked me to add some extra stuff to. it had some cool drum machine stuff, so i decided to add some live drums to it and it made a nice addition, for sure...look for an E.P. from JED in the next few months featuring songs written by me, the aforementioned mr. o'hagen and some guest vocals by the aforementioned mr. burgalat. watch this space, as they say...
oh, i finally have heard from my west-coast friend, mr. jarond gibbs, the man behind the band frequent flyer. jarond's "day job" these days is being one of the music writer's for the cool nick kids show, "yo gabba gabba." check it out, it's kind of a throw back to the sid and marty kroft shows of the 70's like "h.r. pufnstuf." anyway, jarond, who's a fantastic songwriter and i have collaborated on a couple of songs and they might be coming out on a 7" some day in the not-to-distant future.
speaking of sid & marty croft, here's the late, great "mr. show" doing a parody of h.r. pufnstuf. hi-larious! " i declare this pizza to be...awesome!"
