The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[D.o.S.]

It's hard to go way more back on the shit you're into than everyone else - to the point of Amishness - when you still have to instagram your artisinal coffee on your Macbook Air.

Ocean.

That's not fair though I love Yob.

All's fair in love and war my friend.

I need a major life change...... maybe I should to move to Georgia so I can start filling in band spots for badass bands that lose members.....

Fixed

Hmmmmm you do drive a hard bargain......

Skip,forget Portlands and Seattles and come to Tacoma. Best kept secret in the music world.

As do you my friend.....

Well it hasn't hit drastic levels yet but its never bad to have back up plans. It's a toss up between Portland and Seattle, been to Portland have not been been to seattle.

Seattle is rad, but it's getting CRAZY expensive.

I live in Loudoun County Virginia, where all the DC political / government rockstars live. Our counties tax rate's and median incomes is absolutely mind blowing. On the upside our roads, parks, and brand new shopping centers all look very very nice hahaha

In other words.... I'm used to crazy expensive.... But its also another reason I was considering Oregon. I can transfer my job, keep my income and live in a cheaper area.

Skip...that doesnt sound good man...I hope things work out for you...and obvioulsy i cant give an view where the place to move is...but when i think portland...i think this:

HAHAHAHAHAHA when I think portland I think highest strip club to population ratio, crazy homeless hippie kids drifting up the coast, 24 hour donuts, crazy awesome micro brew beer, and cops smoking pot with random people. And I experienced all that in a one night period

But you have a point, I would definitely have to up my hair game to be accepted.

I need a major life change...... maybe I should to move to Washington so I can start filling in band spots for badass bands that lose members.....

I can think of three amazing fucking bands that currently are "on hiatus" Due to key players being unavailable. About to be 4.

I had this stoned commie idea about getting a sort of collective pool of musicians together to be able to fill in on each others bands in case of injury, geographical issues, or to make touring a posiblity for people who cant afford to take off for a month whenever.

But hell yeah man, if you are going drastic, this probably isn't a bad place to run to.

If AW is no more, then why do they still practice?

I've had similar thoughts!!!! With so much band incest in alot of scenes it makes alot of sense!!! Get on it bro!!!!

Having grown up in Olympia, and visited Seattle and Portland multiple times, I prefer Portland as far as general feel. If I were a bachelor looking to party or a college student, Seattle all the way... but I've always found Portland to be pretty relaxed overall. Granted I visited them for different reasons, so that probably biases my opinion... but yeah. Seattle's prettier IMO because Mt. Rainier fucking rules, but Portland has some cool mountains too.

Moving fucking sucks. I'm headed to Portland in a month, and it's ridiculous how expensive it is to move shit. I just wanna burn everything and start over, but I don't think my significant other is too fond of that plan.

I forget who mentioned "Doom Guides" but that's not a bad thought. Skip, you want to come out here and tour the various cities, you have a place to stay and someone to bring you around. I'm pretty sure we could enlist some city specific peoples and schedule it around killer shows.

Maybe Barracuda can back me up on this, but Olympia and Tacoma are pretty rad too, and I for one, love being in the middle of Seattle and Olympia, 30 minutes either way, and when I get sick of city, I leave.

Doom guides and musician pools both sound like awesome ideas.

Has anyone in here fucked with oil projection based light shows and stuff like that much? I really want to add a visual element to my drone project and I had the idea of projecting that over glitched video

Im looking to hit up Tacoma in about two months; what should I be on look out for when im in town? Venues, shops, nature spots?

I have a little. Always for shoegazey type bands and never over a video. Always turned out underwhelming, but over something could be cool. It was never my idea, buddy just asked if I would do it. It was super janky. He just had an overhead with some different colors of stuff and said to just move it around so it looked cool. The trick was to do almost nothing or it would end up just a big ugly blob. I don't know. I'm sure there is a way to do it and that not happen, I just have no idea what it is.

Also played the dunwich hm2 through my Matamp...at volume and that thing is amazing...everyone should own one...seriously!

That name. And I'm sure that tone was the titties.

Doom guides are a very rad idea. If anyone finds their way to Wilmington, I'll definitely show you all that our small and overpriced beach city have to offer (mostly good beer and the ocean).

I've got nothing constructive to add about the projection stuff, but it sounds awesome.

Get an old-ass transparency projector and slap a giant Pyrex dish on there. Put in a thin layer (experimentation is key) of vegetable oil in there ane get yourself some droppers of food coloring. It doesn't take much, best to focus on one or maybe two colors.

If you have someone "doing visuals", they can use a little battery-powered fan blowing across the surface of the oil. If not, tilt one side of the dish up and put a little self-oscillating fan on the other side, set to blow across the surface.

Or do what I always wanted to and hook up a transducer to the side of the dish...

Sam: I read that Elder Gods fantasy book when I was much younger and hated it. Cool title, crap read.
Other than that I have no input. Names are the worst shit ever.
I wanted to call the stoner thing I was jamming in a couple of years back Brass Mooseknuckle.
That was about where I peaked.

Conky: collectives.
Yes.
I have been thinking about this for years, as I think it's the only way I'll get to play out.
I'd be the only steady member, so I'd need some musical sluts who were cool with tapping in and out.

Well, I just thoroughly fucked my own face off with the dunwich hm2. It's got so much going on in there. It took a little tweaking to start learning my way around it but it wasn't long before I had that fucker ripping. Once i got the pedal dialed in a bit I went full on entombed style and plugged into the high input on the 2203 with everything on the amp dimed, the way it was meant to be. My ear holes were both melting and orgasming at the same time. It was fucking killer. Unfortunately I'm a huge pussy and I need a clean sound and stupid dynamics and stuff. So then I had to go searching for a second best sound, of which there are many. The overall sound no matter what you're doing is fairly honest about its hm2 roots, but it's very tuneable to what you've got going on with your amp. And it's definitely got more doors open to it than its predecessor. It can be more fuzzy and a bit more wooly if that's what you want, although it retains the chainsaw bite. I looooovvvveee the eq. The two mids knobs are awesome. It's crazy powerful. I didn't try stacking cause I don't want to right now with this pedal, but I think it might be really good for that down the road with this eq. I'm not sure if it's going to dethrone the badascan>ape blaster as my main dirt, but I'm going to try it at practice tonight and maybe use it as main dirt for a while. Eventually I think I'll have to either run another stereo rig so both can be the dirt for an amp or I'll have to start another band for this thing. I kinda want to start another band with this thing anyway just so I can run it into a wide open jmp. That sound was fucking transcendental.

I've been away from the computer for what seems like an eternity (because sometimes things move so fast).

Saw Death From Above 1979 last week Thursday. Pretty good show. They played a good deal of older material. The bass tone is so fucking godly. Such a sick rig. It was definitely a nostalgic inducing show. Loads of fun.

Outside of that I spent a ton of time preparing for some interviews and then interviewing for a new position at work. Worked all weekend and finally have my first day off in a week today. Spent the majority of way early this morning (1:30 a.m. until 3:30 a.m.) working on my new computer rig. Drivers and downloads be damned if I'm not sitting down with it for "basically" the first time.

Strolled on over to the Doom Room and it got buck wild in here. Lots of cool as shit happening. Loads of HM2 worship going on, kinda got me rock hard but after buying a whole new computer I'm gonna have to pass.

On the subject of great cities... Grand Rapids is the new Portland. Move here and we could CREATE the Doom scene.

LASTLY.

The fucking Khemmis record. goddamn. so fucking good.

[BoatRich]

A transducer sounds like such a rad idea. Thanks guys, I was looking into projectors today and they're not too expensive. I think I'm going to pick one up when I move

Yeah, Tacoma and Oly are both really nice places to live IMO. Tacoma can get kinda dicey in places from what I've heard, but the proximity to Seattle is great and doesn't break the bank.

Holy crap Windhand is overpoweringly, awesomely heavy live
