My latest endeavour. I made this and another song in the course of an afternoon jam a little bit ago. I've only recorded the guitar for the other one, even though it was conceived prior to this one. I've been sitting on this for a while now, as I recorded it like a good number of weeks ago, probably like a month.
I attribute my musical in-activity to work, as we are getting quite busy, and I find myself sauntering home only to want to chill and hang out and play some vids. I jammed last sunday and we created a wicked song, (I'll post when we record a really good take of it, which shouldn't take too much to get). Other than that, I haven't picked up the guitar too much. Hopefully I'll rectify that this weekend. One can hope.
Anywho, on to business. This is the product of me being in the vein of 80's Alt Rock. This is due to the station we found at work that actually doesn't suck. It's "First Wave" on Sirius and is all the early 80's New Wave and Alt Rock that I love so much. Also, I've got a couple of cds from Siouxsie and the Banshees that I really am in to, so I cite them as a major influence on this song.
I've pretty much got it all done here, just a touch of drum tweaking needed. Maybe a bit of guitar tone tweaking. EQing and mixing of course. There's not going to be a solo in here, as the section that would house such a thing I think works better as a bridge with what would be vocals in it. Vocals are all that's really missing here.
The bass comes in on the downbeat here with the drums, even tho the guitar is I think on the and of 4 in the bar ahead *can't remember/think, is tired. So I'm not sure if I like it how it is or if I wanna slap in so it's all on the same page as each other. Thoughts?
Things I think this sounds like; The Pretenders, Siouxsie and the Banshees...
What do you think? Let's add to the list.
734 - The Police: Indeed
Jii-pi - Rush: *nodding approvingly

Dude that's awesome! You guys jammed yet? Is it just covers, or doing some original stuff too? I'm partial to doing original stuff myself, but ain't nothin' wrong with covers.
I haven't been actively searching for a band lately, although I do have a story about the last jam meet up with some random Craigslist guys that involves a cross-dresser with a bad purple dress and bob haircut wig

This band is strictly covers, it's all for the money, but right now that's what I need. I don't really think I'd enjoy playing bass in a band that played originals because I'd feel stifled or something. I'm still working on my own original stuff anyway, I just need something to feed me. We haven't practiced yet as the old bassist has one gig left before he's gone. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully there will be crossdressing there too, haha.
Yeah that didn't work out so well as I spent most of the month sick in bed, I had some crazy flu thing that laid me out for two weeks, but I did get more song writing done in that time than the last 3 years put together, so that's good. Then I moved, and right now most of my recording stuff is packed away. Soon soon, I swear.
Shit dude. I got sick a bunch this winter too, nothing that knocked me down for more than a day or two, but more often than usual.
I've been trying to get my ass into writing more lately, especially lyrics. I get all jazzed up listening to music all day, but then nothing really strikes me when I strap on the ol' guitar. In one of those musical ruts for the last while I guess
