Description:
This is a recording of a recent Splinter jam session at Ultrasound rehearsal studios in NYC. Recorded straight to Zoom H2 digital 2 track. Our first session with a new drummer MarcB.

Stu - bass, LSD25 - guitar, MarcB - drums, Bud - guitar and vocals.

This takes a little while to get going - but eventually something happens - I think. You tell me.

Thanks to Karen, Bob and Mark for commenting on the earlier release that had a crackling sound I didn't notice. Hopefully this sounds better.

Hardware:
Zoom H2, iMac G5, four piece rock band

Software:
BG3, Audacity

How Long &mdash 05/31/08 - 11:48:50 AM
I thought I was seeing things! So - ditto what I said before - lol - I didn't notice any crackling sound either (still waking up - that's my only excuse!)

Thanks for stopping back Karen &mdash 05/31/08 - 05:21:11 PM
This is a bit rough around the edges - but it cleans out the cobwebs.

The rhythm track... &mdash 05/31/08 - 01:05:11 PM
...strikes me as just about perfect. I was, though, waiting for a really wild lead guitar flying out of there...was a little disappointed. I had the work really hard to hear the vocals...and finally just decided to concentrate on the great rhythm track. Seems like this number has a ways to go in development, but it is sure a great start. [just my opinion...and I am probably not qualified to make it!]

You're right Paul - &mdash 05/31/08 - 05:23:48 PM
we were saying the same thing - where's our 19 year old shredder to rip over this? We've all slowed down a bit I'm afraid - and truth is - I never was a shredder to begin with. Really nice of you to listen and comment.

how long was it? &mdash 05/31/08 - 02:44:54 PM
I wasn't paying attention to the time.

I had the headphones cranked on this. So I had a better feel of being at a concert. If my ears ring for a while, so be it.

Fun, to listen to an extended jammin' version. along the Crazy Horse line. this fits the bill.

Hey Feter - &mdash 05/31/08 - 05:26:58 PM
so kind of you to drop by. Glad you enjoyed this as much as we did. Rock on Brother!

Great groove on this &mdash 05/31/08 - 05:21:06 PM
I love the guitar sound, and the drums sound good, too. Vocals are a little lost in the mix, but the singing sounds good - reminds me of Ian Curtis in passages. Great loose vibe. I think Vic hit the nail on the head with the Crazy Horse reference. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace.

[ Reply to This ]
You're right about the mix - &mdash 05/31/08 - 06:40:22 PM
but there was no mix - just four guys in a room with a questionable PA. what you hear is what we had. Vic is right - I've got a little Crazy Horse in everything I do I think. They exist at a high level of mediocrity that I aspire to.

Yeah &mdash 05/31/08 - 09:26:09 PM
There is just nothing like what you can get from a good jam session. It seems like the best stuff can come up. Good thing you recorded it. I love this stuff.
Great track Bud.

kool sounds &mdash 06/01/08 - 05:32:00 AM
great vox sounds like a muddy Neil Young it has a 70's feel to this, could imagine it playing at woodstock. great jam guys, hit the spot.

Fort Collins . . . &mdash 06/01/08 - 12:20:03 PM
This reminds me of a band that lives and plays in my former college town, called Drag the River. I love the scratchy quality of this recording, like Op Ivy's CD: it took me a while to warm to the sound, but now I'm hooked; thanks for fulfilling my lo-fi fix.
Cool bootleg, Splinter.

Is that a dog? &mdash 06/01/08 - 12:22:12 PM
At the end of this recording is there a dog cheering for you all, or am I just hearing things?

Great live &mdash 06/01/08 - 12:56:25 PM
sound bud - sounds like you were having fun. You sound more like Neil Young than Neil Young.
Great listen.
Cheers

heavy duty &mdash 06/01/08 - 03:46:20 PM
Gritty and grimey in all the right places[erformance is spot on, the recording is somewhat blown out a bit. The atmosphere this creates splits the wall paper Excellent!

[ Reply to This ]
This is a great session &mdash 06/01/08 - 05:50:46 PM
you sound really together - real Neil Young thing going on - which I love. Not sure which version is which? Loved it anyway.

Hey Benny - &mdash 06/08/08 - 08:50:03 PM
Nice hearing from you. I'm working on a rig to take to the rehearsal space where I can get a little more control over my live vocal sound. The roughness will still be there though - we're not that good to do it any other way.

[ Reply to This ]
uh oooh... &mdash 06/08/08 - 05:52:49 PM
I'm a little late here, and trying to play catch up. My apologies, Bud and the gang.

Dign' the dirtiness 'round bout the edges. An authentic jam session, indeed. This one grabbed me, Bud! I'm willing to bet that I've just listened to this "grungy piece of rockn' blues thang" more than anyone else has.

Nice jammin! As real as it gets!

Thanks for putting it out for the grab. Macca

I know about late - I can't keep up with this place for a minute lately. Glad you could get into this one.

I did a solo GB version of this last year &mdash 06/09/08 - 10:21:25 AM
and pulled it out at tour jam. It's also on the splinter page - which you may have visited I think.

19 Year Old Shredders &mdash 06/09/08 - 09:03:44 PM
...not sure if this needs one of those or not. I listen to this, drink a cold beer and feel a few drops of sweat work their way down my back (it's 97 degrees up here in the train room where I make my GB music) and this loose, swampy groove seems just right for the heat.

Don't worry, I brought enough beer for everyone. You guys got ice?

Swampy Groove &mdash 06/12/08 - 07:07:53 PM
you make it sound kinda romantic. Pass the beer.

hot &mdash 06/11/08 - 10:26:04 AM
this is awesome once you guys get into it. reminds me a lot of neil young and crazy horse. great jam! must have felt good.

[ Reply to This ]
Glad you stopped by &mdash 06/12/08 - 07:11:04 PM
I can't seem to get off of that horse no matter how hard I try.

[ Reply to This ]
Well, sure... &mdash 06/11/08 - 08:41:54 PM
...it has much of Neil Young and Crazy Horse to it, but I'm also hearing some echoes of the old ROIR tape I had of the band Television...

I suspect that it works best over headphones, where you can hear deeper into the mix and get more of a sense of it as a song...

Nice staggering rockness...

Ed

Thanks Ed - &mdash 06/12/08 - 07:12:16 PM
Television - now there's a band to reckon with.

[ Reply to This ]
Classic sounds! &mdash 06/12/08 - 08:59:49 PM
Nice collab guys! Keep the jams comin!

Be well!

[ Reply to This ]
The song itself is frigging bloody &mdash 06/13/08 - 11:25:44 PM
awesome. Recording not so much. It sends shivers up my spine to think of where this song can go after everything is a bit tighter and rerecorded.

Great &mdash 06/30/08 - 10:03:05 AM
