Wishing Well is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Yeah, maybe not that 'earlier'. 😄

My biggest regret as a guitar player was not learning to play to a metronome earlier.

this would be true if Pop is Dead was on it.

Omitted live, but it is on the studio version (without the vocals).

I feel like Hysteria-era Def Leppard while recording guitars for Dichroma. Hours for just several bars at a time.

I thought the series overall was incredbily acted and well written. But I always wanted to have a shower after watching an episode because pretty much every characted in it is so awful.

For strummy acoustic, I prefer .7 or lighter, but for electic I can use pretty much any thing 1mm or thicker. Those little red jazz picks that are above 1mm are actually really precise and don't have a lot of 'fight' in them.

I'll have to give it a listen on Headphones. There was some odd stuff (but nothign that jumped out on crappy PC speakers).

Was the snare that 'thumpy' in the original mix? Otherwise, other than the more muted keys this mix doesn't sound that bad to me (even though I don't have a problem with the original mix).

Police/Fixx Rush is the best Rush.

That would have been cool. We stopped playing TO around '97.

I saw them on that tour in Toronto. Halfway through the second song, Hamilton threw his guitar across the stage and stomped off. The rest of the band finsihed the song and then stood there like dorks for about 10 minutes. About half an hour later, he came back on a finished the full set.

What was the band? Looks like around the time I played there.

Don't disagree with you, but I often hear artists at a certain level say they don't listen to themselves (why? Maybe because they have an audience and don't need to?).

And being well known on Youtube, perhaps he didn't want to appear as arrogant and narcissistict? I don't know.

Since Dichroma's music is still new to pretty much everyone on the planet, figured I'd post some old EP teasers as we continue to work on the follow up EP.

It's a classic.

Julius, who produced some of the PTH albums is a great vocalist in his own right and I hear a bit of his style in PTH, so I think he was an influence there. Check out his Michelin Slave band -- some of their stuff is out there.

If you ever are in need of concealing the origin of some funds, there's a coin laundry near my place.

You can skip the long instrumental track.

I'd replace the last two with Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa. the animation is not as smooth, but they are in my top 5.

Up in a plane
On the way to New Zealand
Feelin' so lame
'Bout the things I was feelin'
I had a bad dream
That the plane came apart
It snapped right in half like my sad, b0rken heart

Clearly that person has never heard any form of progressive rock?

Maybe the song Angel Rat could fit that description, but that's one song.

It wasn't a first date, but I took my gf to see the Naked Lunch. I thought it was good date movie.

Some of my favourite albums started this way.
