song writing poetic
I've written some poetry, but... songs have to be more poetic, and I've really gotten to this non-poetic sort of writing.
guitar cymbals saxophone
I like referring to the saxophone and having a guitar lick instead. Same with the cymbals; having the cymbals and not playing cymbals.
song two jam
I guess there are two things that make me like songs generally, of ours, and that is if they groove well, or if they have a jam that can go somewhere.
cabinets speakers built
I built all the speaker cabinets myself.
song play people
We have access to more resources in general, and they are not going to force a situation on us, whether its the producer, or the cover, or what songs we have to play. And it's a small enough company that it seems like the people there care about music and not just about business.
important bass
It's really important for the bass and the drums to somehow blend.
couple two guy
The guy we want to get is the guy who did the Aerosmith album which is coming out in two days, and a Chili Peppers album, and a couple of Pearl Jam albums. We want to get someone that will sort of bring out the high energy aspect more than the dreaminess that was on the last album.
