--> i wrote this this weekend.

Tantan said the vocoded vocals suck, so I told him "screw you jerkface, go back to huffing dog stink". But then I took the vocoder off the vocal track, and since it was just sitting there unused I put it on the guitar track instead. I like the results, but still think tantan is a dumb monkey butt.

Oh yeah, I totally hate the Swans in case you are wondering. Not enuff vocoder. yeah, they suck.

title = good
story = better
song = best. cowbell.
This sounds like the best early Love & Rockets songs. Bet you weren't expecting that comment. Love it, total drudgery. BTW, what are the lyrics again?

its better then the coffee im drinking (im kidding, its not)

love the sound of the guitar. this is so damn gritty.
i'm not so sure with the drums. the hihat sound doesn't really seem to fit for me. it's little to thin and short. can't say anything about the bass, because the laptop-speakers don't deliver that much low end.

the vocal bits are really scary. loved them.

nice track, though i really think that the hihats make it feel quite unfinished, but besides that it's coolio

i will certainly consider replacing the hihat with something better, like perhaps jdg's coffee.

this is evil. i love it. i agree with the hi hat comments, replace them with the sound of a 'meat-slap'

it sounds like a monk collective covering my broody vagina.

seriously though this is epic, love it

yes, the sound of a piece of bacon being eatin by a toddler should be the hihat sound!

OMG great idea! Meat Slap!!

R4P, i cant find a meatslap in my sound library, could you record yourself slapping meat and send it to me?
If you only have a video recorder, that's OK too.

what if you vocoded a cowbell?

back to my jenkem daze
final answer

vocode a cowbell. timestretch that to length of entire track. vocode that sound and then map the peaks to more dry cowbell hits.

yeah dude, that hi hat sucks. replace it with one thats sort of open so it gets that TSSS sound to it... but i like it so far.

Track name = teh LOLs

Holy crap, great sound. Very evil.

I think there needs to be more high end schreech, though, maybe a little later. I think with a little more screech the high hat would fit in.

I think that meowing cats would be the cat's meow on this one

how about a cowbell, right? vocoded together with a cat meowing. that would be sick. but play the cowbell with a slice of deli meat, i think smoked turkey breast would give a good tone on a nice, heavy cowbell. and make the cat meow because it is begging you for a deliciously crispy strip of bacon, there is a good tonality to the sound of a cat meowing whilst begging for a strip of deliciously crispy bacon. oh, it also should be canadian bacon to give this song a bit more of a "skinny puppy feel." record all of that to analog tape that has been soaked in luke warm coffee, it will give a nice phat, round tone. plus the coffee give a nice filtered sound to the tape.

starve a puppy and then have it hit the cowbell with a nine inch nail

i'll get my gammon out and give it a jolly good bashing
