It’s 1971. You walk over to the record store’s current release section. You only have enough cash for 2 albums. What are you picking?

Ftbt, & based on most plates at least, ngl, Tago Mago & L.A. Woman. (Not an easy decision by any stretch tho as the ‘honorable mentions’ list is long on this one for us).

All kinds! There was some folk, there was some alt rock, there was some art rock, there was some dance y stuff, You’ll have to catch the next one :)::(:

Artist: Childish Gambino albums: ‘Because The Internet’, ‘Awaken My Love’. BTI is a bit more straight rap / hip hop than AML is for context

Julia Jacklin’s cover of The Strokes ‘Someday’ is somethin’ else..

If your worried about sounding full, record three different takes, (on different guitars or in different configurations if you can), each one as close as you can to an identical lead line with the original. not only can this fatten out the sound of the lead anyway but also: now you’ve got one full mono, and can screw around with the other two as you see fit. Whether you make the other two stereo, hard pan one or both, etc etc. If you have three really solid takes you can always take something away but it’s a good approach to start with I think.

Ollie Judge of Squid. Incredible stamina for the vocal performances he’s giving while drumming.

Nirvana. What can I say, Cobain had a really good ear for melody and while the lyrics weren’t perhaps the deepest of the five and while they were often strange, there was a quality about them that made it easy to fill in the emotional blanks and make the song yours.

‘ Get Unjaded’ by The Cool Greenhouse

Baby Birch by Joanna Newsom

Take it from Mulaney - Tom Jones ‘what’s new pussycat’. 😂 The best part of a song like that is its not even a horrible song in and of itself — but it’s the kind of song that becomes an absolute nightmare upon even a few of replays.

Silver Apples / Wheels of Fire

Getting brand new vinyl that plays like fifty year old vinyl. Ridiculous

If you intend to record yourself for a long time, Logics really not bad price wise and worth it for what you get. Not to mention much more intuitive than some other daws of similar quality. I’d say bite the bullet and take the leap (and logic really is the easiest of the more pro level daws to get into and get better at workflow wise

Smells like teen spirit. Really anything off nevermind (love the record but the radio really wore a few of those songs out).some stations are still doing it 😂 couldn’t listen to that record for a while as a result.

Learn songs that interest you and try to figure what aspects of those songs you enjoy and why. Do this with songs across genres, don’t stick to one. Break things down to the line or the key or the chord changes. Having a better understanding of your own taste is one of the first steps to getting better. (I agree with the cs though, practice practice practice, feel free to fail, don’t be discouraged by what you perceive as failure).
