bats brew

hi tom! good to hear from you, thanks for listening yea, click beaters on kick drums, is not something i'm a fan of. sometimes, it makes sense... but this drummer's kick sounded exactly like this, so i went for an honest capture, and didn't tweak much.

this song, is from the album called "The Wild Animals" you can get it here: Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-wild-animals/1486273667 Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Animals-Bats-Brew/dp/B07ZZKRR6K/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Bats+Brew&qid=1574699997&s=dmusic&search-type=ss&sr=1-1

HOWDY jack C thanks for listening, joe said 'give me my riff back!!" LOL hey mark!! the last group of songs i posted, where the demo's from the album i just finished. it will be on sale in about 2 weeks, i'll post some links. it will be available thru amazon, itunes, or direct from me, either thru paypal or a nod and a wink. 😁

hi gary! yea, i've been super busy, between work and recording the new album (i'm done now, just got to get it to distribution) there are 2 slide parts, that mostly call and response each other... sometimes they're unison, sometimes harmony, and sometimes just goin' off! i tend to not use as much treble these days, because i find it fatiguing, listening to entire albums from front to back, if they are not mastered properly. i never mix songs on an album, too bright, because my intent is to make it an 'album' experience. most songs are mastered too hot, too bright, too everything, for any extended listening. unless of course, it's background music, in which case all bets are off!! heheh hey, thanks so much for listening and commenting

hi Nigel! thanks for listening... yea, the guitar was fun on this one. it's cool to jam along with as well. hello sir wookie! i DO have some new toys, but not on this song. the kick is strong on my playback system, either i'm getting room nulls, or i just hear kick too good and back it off. nnot sure which i got new stuff to post soon

hey kurt, thanks for listening! yea, there's a lot going on, but i try to arrange it so everything has a moment to stand out with out stepping on something else. i don't do slide a lot, but it is fun! thanks david, for the note about the harmonies. i work on those the most.... i def listened to CSNY growing up, but i think my harmonies are more in the beatles and queen camp, without the exceptional voices! LOL yea, protest music. i think people are too worried about alienating potential audience members, but i think that is a bit weak. i have several 'protest' type songs in my catalog.

hey lynn! yes, timely song, that's why i posted this one. i wont stay away, i've got LOTS of stuff to post. plus a brand new album being released in about 2 weeks. more on that later.

heheh, that made me laugh mark! it's funny, just like some folks don't like it at all, and others dig it, i honestly don't know what to do with it! heheh, it's already cast in stone, but i'm remixing a few to repost on utoob and social media, and since the rules have changed for streaming audio, and i never mastered this for that, i need to redo a bunch of my already released material, so that's what i'm starting on soon. i have lots of irons in the fires right now. thanks so much for listening

still digging my RME Babyface Pro. only has 2 preamps, tho

i've only ever used this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RedEye3D--little-labs-redeye-3d-phantom worked great. went into a amp sim, reamped thru a marshall. a bit of an experiment at a bud's studio. i mean, it works great, but i have no need of reamp, so never bought one.

it's still this.

expensive monitors do not fix a badly tuned room.

10% is teaser money. not decision money. 😋

thanks!

Do you really feel qualified? A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.’ The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’ ‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the stranger. ‘How about nuclear power?’ and he smiles. OK, ‘she said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’ The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’ To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know sh!t?

heheh, no, not me. the original covid-19 probably came from bats, but it's not bats' fault. people should not eat bats. Bats don't get sick themselves (superior immune system) but they can carry all kinds of nasties, because they road trip a lot. Bats are the only mammal capable of true flight Insect-eating bats may save US farmers $3.7bn each year by reducing crop damage Hundreds of plant species rely on bats for pollination Bats are under unprecedented threat from habitat destruction, climate change, hunting and other pressures

and now this: Second strain of coronavirus causing pigs to vomit in China 'could spread to humans' SADS-CoV is thought to have come from bats and has been threatening the livestock industry since 2016 but new research shows humans could be vulnerable to infection

this would explain why some people get it, EVEN when they've taken what they think are every precaution. case in point: Nick Saban.

That compares with 17 days survival for the flu virus. it thrives more in cold than hot. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/coronavirus-can-persist-for-four-weeks-on-banknotes-study-finds/ar-BB19UtuQ

yep, covid held up the cd replicators... there are others in town, but these guys did my last 3, so i'm sticking with them. maybe monday, i'll be able to hand it off, they turn it around in about 3-4 days, usually... but nothing is usual these days!!
