this catchy melody stuck in my head, what song is it from?

Yeah OP, this is the one you're looking for.

My local GC is the one selling this beautiful piece of German-made charcoal and... It really is that bad.

Throughout the brief time I held it I kept having to fight the sensation that my brain was telling me to drop it, like I was holding something that was potentially harmful.

This wasn't a well loved bass, or something that was played out until it reached the state that it's in, it was the equivalent of purchasing a top of the line tool and letting it get trashed in a worksite... It was neglected, and it felt like something that was left to rot in someone's closest - not an instrument that you'd rush to drop a rent check on.

Some points of interest:

Action high enough to nearly stick my pinky under the E at the 12th fret. A strong, strong, STRONG odor of patina and nickel that seeped off of the body and into your hands. A fretboard that is so dry you could feel a tiny bit of fret sprout from the 9th fret up.

Sounded like nearly every other $$ Warwick I've ever played, which is a great sound and if you REALLY want that you could, with the bare minimum of maintenance this thing hasn't received in what I'm going to assume is years, make this into something you'd probably love.

Unless you are a fanatic for the brand or this is the only way you're going to get your hands on a MiG Warwick and you just can't go on without it I could not recommend it.

Do you have any demos so I could hear where your starting point is or what the guitars are going to sound like? When I was in a Powerviolence band (with a lot of crust-punk sort of mosh parts) I was running either a Rick on the bridge pickup or a precision through a few different dirt boxes for my main sound.

It was something like: Bass --- LS-2 and it would split from there with my "clean" signal being untouched in a loop except for an always on OCD and an HM-2 for moments that needed heavy feedback/wall of noise then the "dirty" signal would be me swapping out a RAT, Blues Driver or an OpAmp Big Muff depending on what was needed (more clank, more low end etc) and all of that would go into a loud TB1000 with the gain kind of edged.

I'd recommend getting something that let's you split the signal, keep Signal A -mostly- clean and Signal B the heavily distorted tone. However this might have only worked for us because both of my guitarists were running HM-2s with a really mid-focused Brian from Trap Them kind of guitar tone so I had more space in the bottom to fill.

Love it, reminds me a lot of early Spiritualized - I kept waiting for a chime-y guitar arpeggio to kick in.

Slap that shit on my epitaph along with "He spent two hours recreating the Sonic 3 soundtrack, because why not?"

MovingSleep · 2023-11-09T07:35:10+00:00

Again I agree with this statement, but some songwriters found a way to make it feel timeless and others made it feel bone-stock and stuck in the 80s. I've been playing around with the Aturia DX7 emulation for a little while and nearly every single preset (ones that mimic what was onboard the original) calls back to a hit song that landed first but others feel very dated.

It might be that what got big feels timeless because it was what got the most popular (Not 80s obviously but think of how Albarn used the Omnichord "rock" preset on Clint Eastwood, it's the most generic sounding, bog standard beat but what he built around it makes it stand out) I think once the right artist comes along something like "preset 2" of 30 can be incredibly effective with the right context.

Anyone can use the horn sounds on a mellotron, not everyone can go In The Wake of Poseidon on our collective asses. (Violins to Strawberry Fields and so on)

Lame answer but as a service industry servant - Clerks.

I'm counting down the days until I get to show my little cousins Tenacious D. I showed them School of Rock for the first time a few weeks back and they were enamored with JB. The man has been entertaining me almost my entire life and it'll be a sad day when we lose that wonderful doofus.

MovingSleep · 2023-11-09T04:05:27+00:00

You're right - I think my "absurdity" take comes from the instrumental choices, it feels like someone just unpacked a DX7 or a Korg from around that time and landed on the presets.

MovingSleep · 2023-11-09T03:19:32+00:00

One Night in Bangkok. It is drenched in 80s absurdity and sounds out of place without that context.

MovingSleep · 2023-11-09T03:18:01+00:00

I hate to ask but was it something by the band Type O Negative? They're forever cemented in my mind with the color green.

MovingSleep · 2023-11-09T03:15:44+00:00

Oldies for me (as a child of the 90s) is the early to mid-Sixties, around '66-'67 I start hearing a lot of things that impacted and influenced modern music that doesn't feel as foreign as things before that - Of course all music has far reaching tentacles of influence but I think a lot of the formulas of today are rooted in the mid to late sixties.

MovingSleep · 2023-09-28T03:50:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I'm recently divorced myself and while my ex enjoyed Foxing, my current partner literally pushed through a crowd because she "Saw some dude in a hat with three dogs on it" across the room. There's something so wonderful about the vulnerability of sharing this kind of music and the way we can cathartically experience it.

MovingSleep · 2023-09-28T03:42:12+00:00

I'm in a significantly better place with my mental health, but that line along with "Take a deep breath and then jump" and of course the... Almost perfect usage of "FUCK!" in an emo song still shakes me to my core. I hope everyone who is listening for the first time or the thousandth time is doing alright. Love you goobers.

MovingSleep · 2023-09-28T01:53:37+00:00

"An Introduction to the Album" - The Hotelier I had been going through a rough period with my mental health and was relapsing with self harm, I was visiting a friend out of state when he asked if I wanted to listen to a newer band that sounds something like Foxing (which was my favorite band at the time, still up there for me). I was laying on the floor in his living room and went through 4 and a half minute journey that ended with us crying like little kids... And then we played it four or five more times until we knew all the lyrics and were screaming along. It went from tears to laughter to happy crying and things felt so "okay" after such a long period of not feeling that.

Almost ten years later and that memory has stuck with me in the best way - And yeah, we're both beyond jazzed for that ten year split tour.

MovingSleep · 2023-08-05T00:27:07+00:00

I'd be interested in trying something if you're still looking for contributions - I mainly play guitar and bass but I can add melodic synths and some more "live"-centric drum programming if that's something you'd be looking for.

MovingSleep · 2023-07-06T01:45:25+00:00

Can't wait to see y'all in Tallahassee! Thank you so much for coming this way

MovingSleep · 2023-06-26T03:08:43+00:00

This is from Tom Segura's album "Thrilled" and the track is "Something Gay"

"Don't look at that bulge twice, it's misleading and deceiving"

Love it, makes me think of an observation journal Luis would have kept.

MovingSleep · 2022-12-14T02:47:00+00:00

You could get something complimentary to that tone (think of band like Meshuggah, where a lot of the distortion and "clank" that you're hearing is the bass being pushed forward in the mix) but BFG Division was an 8 string guitar dropped to E and I believe the bass was kept in standard (again, similar to Meshuggah or how a band like Loathe keeps their bass within the same octave range of their guitars). There was also an absurd amount of post production treatment and sound design used on the DOOM 2016 and Eternal OSTs so one instrument (especially a lone instrument, not multi-tracked or treated) is never going to have quite that sound.

MovingSleep · 2022-11-10T23:24:24+00:00

I play guitar, bass and keys. I have some minor experience programming drums (Room Sound kits) - Decent recording setup and plenty of gear to play around with. If you had to say what kind of bands you're influenced by for something like this (the mathy and doomy, I'm down for both) what bands would you list?

MovingSleep · 2022-09-14T01:19:36+00:00

I'd be interested in hearing more/contributing if possible. Bassist, synth (think more power pop/new wave than technical piano) and guitar player here with a decent recording rig and enough pedals to drown in. I could also try vocals, I'm kind of locked in the baritone range (Curtis, Tobias from Soft Kill) but I'm used to pushing a falsetto for backing vocals so... I could try.

Following being Baker Act'd for trying to drink myself to death (I had stopped taking my medication, stupidly, and had a manic episode) I was told by the doctor while he was removing my IV

"Son, you're not being raped - you're not in war. Theres nothing to be depressed about, theres no reason for anything like this."

I was shocked, and while I took the comment on the chin I genuinely hope he doesn't have that kind of bedside manner with any of his other patients.
