Crawlers: yet more pretentious rock riffing

[carlaz]

Well Carlaz, I think your vocals have their charm and besides which, we are supposed to be listening to the BKP's so hats off you my good man.

"Distinctive charm" ... Yes, I shall market myself that way in future. :) I always try to remind myself: "Ozzy can't sing either." ;)

Is that a Ric bass I hear?

Absolutely. What's good enough for Macca and Lemmy is good enough for me! ;) It's got an old Bartolini pickup in the bridge -- unfortunately resin-potted, or I'd have had it rewound by BKP by now.  If BKP did in-house Ric bass pups, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!  I love my ol' 4001.  It's not quite as old as I am, but its percentage of my age is getting bigger. :)

hp lovecraft rules, great clip dude

I see nobody else has commented about you reading too much HP Lovecraft ;)

It's impossible to read too much H P Lovecraft!  I got all excited (well, by my own torpid standards) when I saw the title.  Great stuff.

:twisted: I always liked the title, and was determined to make lyrics that more or less followed the story.  I remember trawling through the text, jotting down any good original wording from ol' HP to be massaged into the lyrics.

I was an undergrad at Harvard, whose rare books collection included a bunch of Lovecraft's original notebooks.  There was one full of random one-liner story ideas with all weird capitalization and underlineing for emphasis everywhere, like "GHOULS come from the sea in the form of SEALS and prey upon the living!".  Awesome! :)

That anecdote itself conjured up an image of you as a student in an old gambrel-roofed house, sitting it a dimly-lit attic room whose corners seemed, to a close observer, to have strange non-Euclidean angles...

I noticed the lyrics (which I don't usually manage to do the first time I hear a track). Ooooh theres so much material in his stories to be used for childrens lullabies ;)

Hey Philly you forgot to mention the strange buzzing in the air

As for the pickups try giving Mike @ http://www.ricsrus.com/ a shout, he may have something suitable for rewinding.

As I want my neck pickup to sound less wooly but unfortunitely it will be Xmas before BK get that job (well they can get the job bofore that providing they don't want any money).

Close enough .... ;)

There's actually a book dealing with references to Lovecraft in music (review here. Good fun! :)

I'll have to work on my singing to keep it from being too monotone, as _tom_ comments, though trying to keep from overdramatizing myself into some kind of sub-TenaciousD territory! ;)

That'll be some RF interference from the laptop ;)

Alas, he's out of stock on Ric bass pups at the moment, and only lists 4003 hi-gain style.  I have my heart set on HB1 humbuckers, like those used in the Lemmy signature model!  :twisted:  Still, I ought to be able to find something eventually .....
