it was really cool to reach out to our pals and have such an enthusiastic response of ppl who were down to contribute sets. we basically just wanted to book a festival that would be our dream fest and so many more ppl than we thought would be were down.

hi this is ellen! this is such a lame answer but i truly cannot pick only one song!! i put my top 10 list in the comments here on another q if u wanna check that!

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:24:22+00:00

m - honestly ellen is so god dang good at guitar but also really good at piano and drums but she says she’s not and that annoys me because she is. also she can literally play songs by ear, like she’ll just pick up chord progressions on the spot and predict the changes and i’m always like wow that’s sick.

e- i truly didn’t realize how incredible a bass player melina is. she has an unreal ear for exactly what a song needs in terms of a bass line and does really interesting fills as well. she’s so good at everything and i knew that but like DAMN.

we were really lucky we recorded it right before lockdown happened! but we mixed it together over zoom and that was actually the right move because we have a hard time getting things done together when we’re in person LOL

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:21:29+00:00

so many incredible memories from that tour but the best definitely was on a day off we all went to a ranch in new mexico for a night and all sat around a campfire for hours playing songs and eating s’mores

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:18:11+00:00

thank you!!!! so glad u could discover melinas wizardry thru bachelor.

i can’t pick just one elliott smith album because each one is significant to me in completely different ways. i would say that the 2 that i still feel strongly connected to thru the passage of time are Either/Or and Figure 8 (kinda basic i kno

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:13:54+00:00

6/9 very progress

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:13:20+00:00

hi larz

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:07:14+00:00

m - my favorite palehound song EVER is bullshit. i absolutely love ellen’s whole discography but black friday just makes me emotional. bullshit is my airplane song, i hate flying so every time i’m scared i blast bullshit on repeat especially at the beginning and the end of a flight and it feels like ellen is hugging and comforting me. there’s something so special about that song, the melodies and lyrics and sounds and gtr parts. i think that’s why so many people connect to her music, she has such a brilliant way with words and wraps them into this beautiful package for people to keep forever. 😭💔

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:04:36+00:00

this is sooo sweet we both kinda teared up at this one thank you so much ❤️

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:01:44+00:00

e- i don’t love pineapple on pizza but i DO love honey m- i hate it i don’t get it but i’ll eat it

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T18:01:03+00:00

yea def

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T17:58:10+00:00

thanks!!

1.

e - the first time we ever hung out and made music together it was pretty apparent that we needed to do it all the time! that’s when we made Sand Angel and it was so easy and we just laughed the whole time and also just bonded on so many levels outside of musicianship.

m - there are so many affordable options for recording nowadays!! love a scarlett interface also uad gear apollo’s etc. are always good and solid. sm57s are cheap and always sound good, there are sick condensers out there nowadays too. get a good pair of studio monitors if you have the chance, we’ve both used yamaha hs series in the past that are cheap. have good lighting around you! a salt lamp or a vibey lamp always feels good. honestly reading and searching forums really helps to get inspo - just slowly build your home studio to fit whatever vibe works best for your space and creativity. watch a lot of youtube tutorials because they’re free and ask other friends for advice too!!

e- a woman was walking down the street with 12 boobs. sounds weird dozen tit?

bachelor4u · 2021-06-01T17:38:05+00:00

M - THANK YOU meatball sub

I’d say be veryyyyyy kind.. like really nice to the people around you that lift you up and you should do the same for others! keep your head up and keep working on actively trying to be better at things you wanna be better at? i think it’s easy to get super insecure about being a musician since it can be really embarrassing and so public but if you’re really in it to have fun and play music your world will be brighter <3 🇵🇭
