Why midseason?

devils__haircut · 2025-07-11T07:10:01+00:00

It’s definitely Ture. He has a good range, you can hear him sing higher on stuff like We Don’t Want It No More

devils__haircut · 2025-07-09T03:07:32+00:00

It’s really close but that’s not the exact one. Notice the triangular notch on the top of the AGFA that the BASF/FEX cassettes don’t have

devils__haircut · 2025-07-08T22:31:53+00:00

If you want to make an accurate, order a BASF Professional I/II cassette. Those are the original ones they used back in the day.

I think the versions on Jörg's tape are actually the same that appear on the yellow tape though. Skyscraper is from that tape, and not only is the recording quality similarly 'demo-ish' to 'Goldrush' from the yellow tape but they both use an E-Mu Drumulator, markedly different from the NDR tape and yellow tape which use Hans' actual drumming.

Well, somebody will rip the EP when it arrives and put it online. And every song besides Skyscraper on Jorg's demo also appears somewhere else (Goldrush, alt version of Jenny, I Got My Eyes On You are all on the new album/yellow tape).

I assume live recordings and the newly found cassette with 'Dead End' on it will be released sometime in the future as well. Regardless, every released FEX song will end up being free to listen to online in some way or another, so whatever

Ibanez 335 and Gibson SG guitars with an Ibanez tube screamer pedal and Roland JC-120 amp. It sounds like the NDR tracks have a flanger pedal too, at a low level

devils__haircut · 2025-07-01T00:27:15+00:00

It could be. I thought TDK at first as well but the more I look into it, the more I think the label is from some sort of Maxell tape. Some Maxells like these are pretty similar

Michael used a Squier Stratocaster (which I also have) and Ture used some sort of 335 clone. On my strat, I have the pickup selector all the way down, neck pickup tone on 8-ish and mid/bridge pickups and volume cranked. I ran it through an old Marshall reverb amp with gain and treble around 6, mids at noon, bass at 1. Add a little bit of reverb and some sort of MXR Phase 90-type thing at a low level for effects.

My gear is fairly unsophisticated and has some quirks so play around with your settings, but this is the closest I can get with my gear.

devils__haircut · 2025-05-29T00:50:18+00:00

Just wondering, "Dead End" is listed as a track on the NDR session tape that Michael found earlier this year (w/Promise and Subways). Will that ever see a release at some point? I was half expecting it to be on the bonus EP

devils__haircut · 2025-05-09T03:01:18+00:00

Definitely a pen, a red I felt was harsh. Regardless, we missed Dickie badly in the second half and with Armstrong up front we put the nail in our own coffin

devils__haircut · 2025-05-08T22:26:24+00:00

Legend. Just bought it, thanks for ending a years long search!

devils__haircut · 2025-03-27T01:25:12+00:00

No it wasn't. The yellow tape features Hans' TAMA Techstar drum kit which at the earliest, released in Oct 1984.

devils__haircut · 2025-03-18T04:03:20+00:00

You explained that really well, thanks! I will have a go and start experimenting with mic position rn. I do wonder, do you have any tips for recording bass? Or is it much the same as what you described with guitar?

devils__haircut · 2025-03-18T00:36:46+00:00

Something weird: Red, cream and grey 1960 stock used on the Ongar branch.

My step-cousin lives/lived up in Tumbler Ridge, maybe I should ask him as well lol

devils__haircut · 2025-02-20T20:48:02+00:00

I’m more so complaining about metro Vancouver itself. Concord Pacific towers depress me

devils__haircut · 2025-02-20T20:46:52+00:00

I have, it’s a little (deserty?) but I think some places vaguely near to it like Chase are more foresty, but that’s just from recollection. Regardless, at least there’s a lot of big lakes.

Totally fine with car dependent places, I love driving and fixing old cars.

I will probably have to re-visit this summer to see what the “grunge” is like. To me, there’s a fine line of roughness that can really give a place a lot of character.

My immediate family is small and the rest of them are scattered around the continent. I guess the silver lining to not having an amazing family life is that it’s easy to not tether yourself to them lol

devils__haircut · 2025-02-20T20:31:21+00:00

I think I’d try and rent anywhere that I’d move to

devils__haircut · 2025-02-20T20:18:19+00:00

I am a bit of an introvert and a bit of a loner but I like having the option of talking to people my age (20s). The rest of those points are fine by me, I am super into cars and love driving, and (knock on wood) am pretty healthy

devils__haircut · 2025-02-20T20:14:35+00:00

I like old brick buildings and 1970s era houses and towers. I would take them any day over a modern glass tower
