  1. Another Danish jazz artist, Anna Roemer :
  2. Waving My Dick in the Wind - Ween
  3. Kill All the White People - Type O Negative
  4. "Ohh-iih-oh I look just like Geezer Butler..."
  5. No, but I do own the California (Mesa Boogie), American (Fender) and Oxford (Orange), in the same series of pedals. And I kind of plan on getting the British (Marshall) at some point too. Must admit I don't like the California, too dark for my taste, sounds muffled to me, but you can get some serious monstrously ballsy heavy distortion out of it with the Drive knob cranked. I like the American, but mostly for guitar, though it has received quite a lot of praise both used for guitar and bass, and even used as stand alone bass preamp. I love the Oxford, you can get some really amazing snappy grindy and grunty drive tones out of it, but sounds great as a low gain overdrive as well.
  6. The Thoughts of Mary Jane - Nick Drake
  7. "The Rite of Spring Suite: Dances of the Young Girls" by the Danish band The Firebirds :
  8. There isn't such a thing as the one ultimate right way to pluck. Personally I more so stroke the strings lightly, rather than really plucking or pulling the strings, in a slight inward slapping motion, with the outmost tip of my fingers/nails, but that is a not too common plucking technique. Some prefer to pick more aggressively, almost pulling the strings, and that works for them (though one thing to keep in mind that this way you will have less room for dynamics). I also utilize 1 and 3 finger plucking technique, classical guitar finger picking style technique, and flamenco guitar index and/or middle finger (sometimes ring finger too) flicking technique, as well a double thumbing technique, depending. My advice is to experiment to see which technique you personally feel most at home with and which gives you the tone you want, but also be open to incorporate less traditional picking techniques for a broader palette of expression. Also I advice you to learn floating thumb technique, instead of anchoring your thumb on top of the strings, in my opinion this will give you much more freedom, and make muting easier and more effective.
  9. Buttar? Plays like buttar...
  10. The Anal Staircase - Coil (opening track)
  11. I never really got The Who either, but I did like Entwistle's playing, and I for one actually think it suited the songs (as far as I am concerned the only thing interesting about their otherwise pretty boring bland generic rock songs, but in my opinion despite that his playing didn't sound out of place or forced in any possible way).
  12. An argument I had with him on Talk Bass got us both banned (or rather the same argument got him banned, not my contribution in specific to that argument, though I suppose maybe that doesn't really tell much, since they seem quite generous with the ban hammer on that forum).
  13. Yes, why even bother living when it will only be a matter of time before they invent a robot that does it better than you?
  14. That looks absolutely gorgeous! Love these basses, and I regret so much being stupid enough to sell my Jerry Jones Neptune Longhorn Bass (sort of a high end boutique clone of the Danelectro Longhorn Bass that is no longer being made).
  15. I never volunteered, where did you get that idea from? But if I did volunteer I definitely could write, compose and produce a much much better alternative. However I fail how to see how that even is relevant, and I don't get your point, simply not really a valid argument, cause even if I couldn't I can still tell shit from great. If I served a cooked shit to someone would the fact that they can't cook themself make them ineligible to tell me that I served them a cooked shit? Mind I am not saying your OP is shit, I actually do appreciate it, and actually find it both interesting and relevant considering the recent general progress of AI and current popular discussion in the media about its capabilities and short comings. I just think that the song that the AI created for you is shit, and I think AI in general got a long way to go when it comes to being creative and making worthwhile art that isn't just a badly executed cliché. And yes, it is fun idea and funny to listen to, however that doesn't make it any less of a shitty song.
  16. I fear for the future of music too, that is if that really is the future. Absolutely horrible in every possible way. A mix of about 79% pure clichés and 21% pure cheese, complete with absolutely terrible mix and sound quality as well, where everything is mushed together. Toe cringingly bad.
