Message-ID: It might have just been me but. . . I would swear that it was G. Gordon Liddy playing stick on monday night at the Roxy!!!! ;-) The new DT is gonna rock baby!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 21:53:27 -0800 (PST) From: Stephen Dedalus To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Shit, dicks, lesbian seagulls, and jammer chicks. (LTE LA) Message-ID: So I'm walking home from the bus which brings me to Carmel from my JC and who should drive up but my mom. So, I think she's gonna take me to get some lunch, but low and behold, she tells me, "Your friends are at home waiting to take you to LA." This was totally un-expected. Girbie had e-mailed me saying that he'd be happy to give me a ride to LTE on his way from Oregon, but I hadn't received a follow-up call due to a screw-up in the communication of my number to him, so I had contented myself in the realization that I would not be attending this historic event. Well, to make a long story short, I left for LA with Trever, Girbie and Sis, the queen of prog. We stopped for food in BFE and got to LA just in time for the doors opening at the Rocksy. The vibe was friendly, music-oozing, and predominently male. Inside, though, we happened on Chris Oates and his significant other, the one and only Gerbil, hope I spelled that right. Amanda was a bit different than I had immagined, being that she was bearly barely legal and attended UCLA, though these weren't unpleasant surprises. The show was incredible of course, though tremendously bass heavy. So much so, in fact, that I rarely heard any of John or Jordan's solows in the mix, which I was concerned about. Afterward, we left to ajourn to Denny's with Lisa, Rick, and Younice, a so-cool jammer who I hadn't met yet and who won my instantaneous respect when he honestly had no idea who Third Eye Blind or Matchbox 20 were. (I love you, man!) We talked of fudge and it's dirivitive topics and of lesbian seagulls and sex on college campuses and more fudge and Amanda's fudge and ice balls and other appetizing things. Finally, the original four retired to a cheap, $60/night, hotel, where we talked of things coming out in one piece and slept deeply until ten A.M. We visitted the biggest Guitar Center in Cal as well as the Carvine store. Finally, we left for the long, but not unpleasant drive back to our respective homes. We stopped and used a porta-potty with all the luxuries of plumming and ate lots of food and listened to some really cool prog. I think, even more than the cool concert, I enjoyed the company of some three fine individuals for a long extended period of time. I would do it all again in a heartbeat just for the fun of it all and to make tasteless jokes with Girbie and Trever. I'd lie to say hi to Dave and Kim, and say thank God I was right when I guessed that it was you, Kim, who came up to me and said "Guess who" in that noisy club. I wish you nuts could have hung around. Hi to that poser, Mosh, who was too much of a lame-ass to even show up, and hi to Sach, who I met for the first time. Hi also to the hard-working Scott Hansen. It was fun running into you all. Jammers, especially west-coast jammers who I've met, just rock my ass. B well.

Do yourself a favor and >check out the samples at their website. I'm sure at >least two people on this list will agree >hi Graham, hi Mape!). :-) Ties.... I've gotta agree with you about NightWish. I've been reading the posts about them over on the Symphony X mailing list (teof) and I went to http://www.nightwish.com and downloaded the sample mp3's and I was blown away as well..... This band sounds much like Symphony X, MUCH to my DELIGHT. I also tried out the FTP site where many more full NightWish mp3's are available for download and I dig each mp3 I download and listen to. Only problem is that NightWish are a Finnish band, and I'm in the United States. I haven't found a mail-order site that carries NightWish's CDs yet. I like the mp3's but I much prefer CDs to listen to. If anyone knows a respectable mail-order site where I can order NightWish's CDs I would much appreciate the info.

We will begin writing and recording on Monday, Feb. 8th 1999 at Bear Tracks Studios in Suffern, NY with engineer Doug Oberkirker. (same studio and engineer as I&W, Live at the Marquee and ACOS....) We will self-produce (with a mixer TBA) and spontaniously write & record (ala LTE). (The big difference will be that we will have 2-3 months to do it, instead of 1-2 weeks.) Recording will probably last through to May, as we will take March off for the birth of my son...... We are very excited to begin the latest chapter of DT history and begin "the Jordan era"..... The music will be all new and freshly written material... For everybody inquiring about Metropolis Pt. 2: the only comment I will give is that we hope to be able to incorporate it, but if we do, it will definately be different from the version we wrote with Derek as we want to have a fresh start with Jordan.... This is all I will comment on it for quite a while, so spread the word.......

I'm setting up a digital audio workstation and need a midi controller. I'll be using a software synth (Bitheadz or Seer Systems I think), and a software sequencer (likely Cubase), so it won't need to be a full blown midi workstation, just a controller. I do want a good action (semi-weighted I think), velocity sensitive, aftertouch, etc. I really know very little about these things (I'm a guitarist =P), so any input would be appreciated. The one guy I know into keys recommended a Korg X5, any opinions on that? I'd hope I can get something decent for under a grand. Thanks much, Biz ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 07:08:31 -0800 (PST) From: Glen Brooks To: email_address_removed Subject: Crimson Glory Message-ID: Does anyone know where I can get complete mp3's of Crimson Glory?

Or is there a sampling question that I'm not aware I've just been too lazy to go and download the latest version of Winamp with the decoding feature. :) But, then, I've also heard that it's decoding ability isn't a clean as a second party program, either. *shrugs* Either/Or probably work fine. >The one guy I know into keys recommended a Korg X5, any opinions on that? >I'd hope I can get something decent for under a grand. X5's are pretty good, but they don't make the boards anymore as far as I know. They make N5's which I think are spendy ($1000 or so) and they are loaded with samples... Don't expect anything with weighted keys for under $1000 tho. Don't even expect one for under $2000. hehehe. Every Korg I've ever played though is velocity sensitive, though, so you should be fine there. I never recommend a person just getting into playing keyboards to buy an expensive one first, though. The consumer model Yamaha PSR series wouldn't be bad if you're just using one for an input board. They're velocity sensitive (to a lesser degree than better boards) and can be foud for between $200 and $500. Not that I would ever want one, but if you're just getting into it, it's a suggestion to save you some cash up front. :) Also check out Ebay (http://www.ebay.com) every one in awhile. Some sweet deals sometimes pop up there on used equipment. Keywords to try are Korg, Kurzweil, and Alesis.

If you have never seen this show, you should at least check out who will be the featured artist.

Some of the recent featured artists include Bela Fleck & the Flecktones and the Pat Metheny Group. Others who have appear include Phish, Fiona Apple, Gipsy Kings, Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel producer, etc).
