try parachute cord.

pm sent to chalupa

What do you need help with. Stringing the bars? I do that all the time. Thanks Kat... no, I don't need help stringing the bars. I've got that one. I'm trying to decide between a couple of pick-up systems vs. a couple of mic'ing systems. There are pros and cons to each, as with everything. In the end, the cost is almost equal regardless of which route I go. p.s. why would you have to re-string your bars all the time? Parachute cord is pretty heavy duty stuff. Considering the application here, I can't imagine needing to replace it more than once every couple of decades. Re-wrapping mallets on the other hand...

up for progress re: contacting Walt.

up for progress?

Great stuff! Still, any progress on the Walt Dickerson front?

it is a napkin isn't it! i always thought it was a matchbook! i do like the greaze though... what would you do differently?

That's right! I prefer the hand-lettering as well.

Damn Jim... I wish you played vibes! You make everything sound so simple! I could use your guidance in wiring these bars!

I think I've met that guy a few times. I never have the heart to tell him that I have a 401k. Was he wearing an old REM tour t-shirt? Sometimes I feel like Jim Halpern setting up certain situations for my enjoyment alone, only their is no documentary crew to share the moment with.

sjarrell, have you checked out kingsbury manx? They are a fantastic band based out of chapel hill. One of the members works at cd alley down there. He told me that they actually formed here in wilmington. They are represented by billions corporation. In some circles, that is a sure sign that they 'made it.' Others that we've been listening to recently, all can be had at various organissimo-approved online retailers so use the search feature at the top of this page: I'll say it again, I L A D Yeah, my brother is in the band, but that should not detract from the recommendation. I am a believer. Jolie Holland Springtime Can Kill You Absolutely gorgeous music. There is an unbelievably waivering quality to her music, similar to what you hear on the Atavistic Unheard Music Series Country Brass Bands. I also relate it to the modulation that I hear on the Vashti Banyan/Animal Collective EP. She really is an amazing singer & musician. So many people on this board would really like this disc, but probably won't ever read this thread and buy it. Gillian Welch Soul Journey What can I say... if you don't know, you don't know. Mike Andrews (Elgin Park) You may recognize this name as a member of Greyboy Allstars. His solo output couldn't be more different. Maybe not as psych-folk as psych-folk listeners would tell you, but it seems to fit into his melodic ideas. Freaks and Geeks fans may also recognize his name, as he composed the score for the show. Good stuff. Good good stuff. Archer Prewitt OK, so if you are familiar with these artists, you are probably already in tune with the listening mood. Another solid recording from a member of The Sea and Cake. I hope someone checks some of this stuff out and reports back. All very good music that 'rewards repeated listening'.

what?

Beautiful memories. Condolences to your family.

Do people really give a shit about supermodels? Is this really news? Take her picture. Move on. Nothing to feel here.

I'll admit that I haven't seen the final cut, so I shouldn't criticize. Still, I'd like to see Carrell take on a more challenging role. Something subtle, for instance.

shrugs?

I think Steve Carrell is hilarious, but I thought this movie was sub-par for him. I saw the unedited version, which was way long. Subtle is not a word that comes to mind when I think of this movie. A lot of the gags were purely shock value. I'd say this movie was a near-miss for him and hope he takes on more challenging roles in the future.

I would still be able to take music at face value.

You are fortunate Chuck. Congratulations! I am happy for you.

I wouldn't recommend Southern Rock Opera as an entry-point though unless you are fascinated with the Van Zants and Skynyrd.

How did Alice sound on vibes?

Thanks John. I hadn't thought about it! That would be great. I will look into the cafe as well.

Hey guys, if you wouldn't mind checking out this link. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=28028

Howdy folks! I’m looking for a little help from the community here. I have offered to help an ‘experimental rock’ outfit book a fall tour. We have sent a press kit to a number of clubs listed below. If any of you have any experience dealing with any of the clubs listed below and have advice and/or an ‘in’ with the booking agent, any help would be much appreciated! I’ve also included an itinerary. If you know of any other clubs that would fit the bill, by all means, throw them out there for me! The band has done a couple of live radio performances as well. If you think this is a possibility in your town, we would love to work it out.
