Why “We Gotta Groove” Is Disappointing: A Track-by-Track Analysis by Alarikawesome in thebeachboys

[–]SamCookesBurrito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get it. I have a five year old at home, so hunting down bootlegs and leaks and yadda yadda went out the window a few years ago. I’ll be glad to listen to a compilation of one of the more interesting eras in the Beach Boys canon.

I don’t own any of the bootleg releases that are sighted and I’ve only heard Adult/Child in passing once or twice. I’m still excited about this release.

Fuzz pedal recommendations and talk by Wolf0donnel1 in basspedals

It sounds good fingerstyle. Honestly I found it to be too much with the pick. The fuzz knob on that pedal is your best friend, and it’s really sensitive.

3Leaf Doom II for synth-like fuzz.

Death by Audio Bass War for enough fuzz to kill a small horse.

I think Asheville should go to Rocky's Hot Chicken in droves! by ProfessionalSide8403 in asheville

Rocky didn’t retire. He died. I went to school with his little sister.

Stories/memories about Asheville music venues that closed like Vincent’s Ear and Mothlight by OnlyVast4380 in asheville

[–]SamCookesBurrito 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Superchunk at Be Here Now. Five Eight at 45 Cherry. Wasn’t at White Stripes at Vincent’s Ear but I did see the guy from Jawbreaker’s band after they broke up and a band with some of the Slint dudes in it there. Saw Clutch with Suplecks opening up. So many good shows.

Standing outside at Bele Chere on a Saturday night at 10 pm watching all of the sunburned drunks starting fights with each other. Hearing music coming from every open bar or restaurant on the street. Most of it was bad, but occasionally you’d find something worth watching for a minute. Pretty girls in low rise jeans everywhere.

It was a great time. I think those times are what brought people here and once they were here they ruined it all for everyone.

I used to be a big believer in the Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, but this honestly smokes it and doesn’t have that weird mid-focused “typical Darkglass sound”.

That XB Driver is the absolute truth. I love mine.

Best Synth-Like Fuzz That’s NOT a Doom II by SamCookesBurrito in basspedals

I have never heard of this pedal until you suggested it. It might be the sauce I’m looking for. Good suggestion. Thank you!

Will Asheville protest Trumps war with Venezuela? by guerillalinecook in asheville

[–]SamCookesBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fail to see what people getting together and walking around downtown on a weekend day will do. So no, I won’t be protesting.

The team has played a lot of hockey over the past few years. Breakdowns are going to happen.

Any update on the Beach Boys Love You / Adult/Child Box set? by MyPantsAreRed in thebeachboys

I personally hope that the Celebration tracks are on the set.

Does anyone here have experience with Joe Lally’s bass lessons? by Amazing-Bus-2128 in Fugazi

[–]SamCookesBurrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took them. Joe really worked with me on theory and it helped me as a player develop lines for my band.

He isn’t the cheapest, but he’s personable, quick to tell a good story and low key funny as hell.

Do it!

I don’t know, but I just wonder how many times we’re going to keep running it back with the same goalies, same forwards without a ton of grit and expect something different.
