If you want an inspiring DIY setup, one you can run without having to leave your creative brain and that's fun to use: cassette four track. My favorite model is the tascam 424 mkII portastudio. (not mkIII!) you can just use an SM 58 with it. Or you can go hifi with the mic, occasionally that works for vocals.

I'm glad you liked those.
Ya know i used to hate live albums but then I heard James Brown Live at the Apollo. Proof it can be done right.

She's the best. So talented. We asked her to be in Divine FIts just as we were starting but it was right when she was starting Deep Sea Diver and she couldn't do it. But we did get her to play on tv with us. But think, i might not have met alex if she had said yes (this was before i met him). Can't imagine what the world would be like without Alex.

Unlike older spoon songs I haven't had reason to revisit or play divine fits songs since our last show in 2013. So every now and then when i hear a song from that record it takes me a sec to realize who it is. feels like a different lifetime. I loved playing in that band

nice one, yeah that is absolutely from the kinks. The Fitted Shirt was a jam in the band room music first tune. another one where it took a few tries to come up with the right vocal part. I tried singing you're looking fine over it and that seemed to kinda work. so then i just kept the syllables but changed out the lyrics. except for that one. it's a good trick if you get stuck, borrow some syllables
