SOOOO excited. Does anyone have a volume pedal I can borrow for the lap steel?

For the people that like the black keys, Dan Auerbach has released a solo album. And it's darn pretty if I say so. I might even like it more than the last bk albums. It's streamed in full on my fav dutch music site: 3VOOR12 - Luisterpaal (Plenty of other good stuff there too at the moment!)

Pm sent.

Has anyone else ever listened to Man Man? I found them through the brilliant Blogotheque/Concert a emportee youtube channel mentioned in some other IMP thread. I got 2 of their albums and it's all really really good! MAN MAN on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Oh those fingers are there alright. Hearing all the lovely stories through mates. I'm so happy to be gone from there. Although they might have a job for me here....

I TOLD you Aberdeen had a good music scene. As an example of some of the conversations I've had: I spoke to my old neighbour who I thought I got along with socially. He does a lot of music stuff, I basically said "we should talk music over a cup of coffee sometime?" His response: "Why?" (literally all he said). With a face as if I was some random. So was about to say it'd be nice and interesting, and he interupted me saying "is it for 'school' or something?" with a face as if he was the modern equivalent of bloody Mozart. I forgot about the arrogance of Dutch musicians. They think they're the king because the place is so small & everyone knows them. Miss you all. Kiss. Lots of serious ice skating madness going on here.

They'll have to let me into the country first...

LOL. Yeah it's the 3 gezusters (three sisters). I went there all the time, when I was 18 or so. It's a massive maze of pubs. Maybe 20 Ma Cameron's in one venue? (spread out over 3 or 4 buildings).

Above trip is now definitely happening! Anyway, I went to see a band for the first time last saturday. Not intentionally, they just happened to play in one of my old haunts. WOW. This is what I hate about Dutch music in general: the terrible blandness of it all! These guys were as white as can be, and trying to do jamaican reggae/ska. Bo-ring! And the worst thing was, the singer was trying his best to do it all in a jamaican accent/voice. Even the stuff in Dutch... Ouch. Did I miss anything good in Aberdeen?

Because he won't be able to find it? Hohohoho.

Thanks to everyone again. I used to have the mic inside the suitcase, purely because it would cause feedback so easily. But with this new mic I will almost certainly mic it up on the outside. Will let you know how it works out in a few weeks time.

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up with the sure sm57, purely because I got bruce millers gift vouchers as a leaving present from work. What a rip off by the way: It cost me 85 pounds... They go for 50 odd on the web. Wow. I think it will do the trick. It does bring up a new question: For my live set up I used to chuck the previous mic into the suitcase, which did not sound too great anyway. Would I be better off with a construction that has the mic outside (behind) the suitcase? Also I would eventually like to loop vocals too, so I need easier access to the mic. And does anyone know a way to make the suitcase give more bassy sounds? I thought I could stuff it with my jacket or sheets? Cheers again!!

Wrong side of the bed this morning? (it was for me - bit early!) Man what a night. I think I enjoyed my set - still not very sure. Really enjoyed 7 Hertz, although some of the 'jokes' in between were a bit awkward Thomas, as always, was brilliant. Did he play this long the last times? I don't remember. But it was ace, despite technical and brain failure. The new material is ace, and so are the covers. -

Brilliant, yes I do have place on the mixer so that's what I'll do. Thanks!

I am looking to invest in a microphone for my live set-up. My set-up: I use a suitcase for a kick drum and percussion, that goes into a wee mixer (as does my guitar and some other things) and that goes back into my Headrush looper pedal. I currently use the crappiest mic ever, thinnest sound, etc, and I am looking to upgrade. I need something that will not sound too thin (especially for the drums/percussion), but also does not require things like phantom power. Batteries are fine if needed. I would eventually like to be able to use the mic for vocals too (I am thinking of adding gospel-like vocals to my loops, using it for recording onto my laptop etc). Any suggestions? I think I have more or less 100 to spend.Cheaper would be good but from what I hear/read it's not going to be to cheap. What should I be looking for? Thanks, John
