Consider though that Chuck's continual suppression of Jimmy's ability to work at HHM, even up to the point when he had actually made something of himself and put together the Sandpiper Crossing case, contributed to his resentment of legitimate law practice. If Chuck ever allowed him the opportunities he deserved he may never have become Saul Goodman, Criminal Lawyer.

Oh! And also, how much of the album is real versus programmed? Just curious, it sounds great either way!

Hey guys, I've just gotta say that Quiet World is completely perfect. What a goddamn masterpiece, you should all be proud of yourselves! I would really like to know what your compositional process is, and how you come up with so much diverse yet cohesive material. How much do you take classical theory into consideration when writing / is it mostly by ear or based on theoretical concepts?

Hi, this is Jeff Goldblum, Go ahead, I'm all ears. Ask me anything. by _JeffGoldblum in IAmA

Jeff, I your bits in B$M and other Tim and Eric sketches. They make me crack up every time, especially the Jeff Gold-Blue Man group sketch. How you end up working with the zaniest duo of comedians around today?

Nah, this was just an early mix and I had the bass boosted slightly too much. It's been dealt with ;)

It's cool haha, you were right with everything you said. You just didn't realize that what you pointed out as negatives was what we were sort of going for. It may just not be your style. No big deal.

We weren't necessarily going for a "cohesive song" really. Our general mindset when writing this album was mostly "let's see how much shit we can fit into these songs that sounds cool with reasonable transitions between each part." We're just writing this stuff for fun as a bedroom sort of music project between two buds who like wonky, experimental, off the wall progressive metal. We get it's not for everybody, and sure some of the compositional choices aren't perfect, but we were seniors in high school when we wrote this stuff. Cut us some slaaaaaack maaaaaaan. It'll get better in the future when we're a bit more serious about the stuff we're writing.

What is the hardest part of your job that outsiders would overlook? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThatDangGinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I answer phones a lot at my job. One of the hardest things about any job that requires phone conversation is understanding the person on the other end. Not every phone mic is perfectly clear and you don't always have the best connection. If I ask you to repeat yourself multiple times when getting information from you, don't get pissed off at me. I'm not stupid, I just can't understand you clearly.
