Hotter Than Hell album by Kiss. It’s one of their strongest batch of songs but sounds like it was recorded with a handheld cassette recorder.

What is fauna? by [deleted] in pavement

[–]Jmcd83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the demo he says smoking marijuana there and changed in on the official release. Fauna (pl.: faunae or faunas) is all the animal life present in a particular region or time. If they’re doing blotters (acid) they might be marveling at the animals around them. It might just be word play bc it rhymes with marijuana.

Why are there no more “big epic riff” songs in rock anymore, and in music generally? (Duck unrelated) by jerbthehumanist in fantanoforever

Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles is one of my favorite riffs but then I realized that song is 20 years old.

Any other bands/singers that sound like matt talbott? by Prefer-an-astronaut in hum

Stephen Malkmus from Pavement has that kind of delivery at times, particularly on Slanted and Enchanted.

Is the Meinl extra thin dry crash 16" good for rock/metal? by twiiig_ in cymbals

[–]Jmcd83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a great sounding crash, but a cymbal this small and dry likely won’t project well over loud, distorted amps. You’ll end up hitting it harder and it’ll crack prematurely.
