February 17, 201016 yr Author he's such a tool, and a walking contradiction. i used to look up to him as a songwriter, not anymore
February 17, 201016 yr Author yeah... but dude... roger waters... pathetic! I found out from a friend that he didn't even play bass on the wall at all, it was gilmour. also he lipsynched a few songs during his shows. lastly he's a walking contradiction. He wrote songs like Money and Welcome to the Machine that was about how bad the music industry was and greedy w/, yet in 2006 he does a tour called "Dark Side of the Moon", which doesn't even fall on an anniversary date for the album, or is promoting a new album or anything. it was just a cash grab. don't get me wrong I LOVE floyd (my 3rd fav band after beatles/radiohead), but the more I hear about roger waters the more i think he's a tool

February 17, 201016 yr Thom Yorke played bass on The National Anthem didn't he? Shut up Plastic that's not what we're talking about. This is about Waters and Floyd. You know, the original Radiohead.
February 17, 201016 yr Author Ok, as long as you admit that Money and Welcome to the Machine are brilliant, regardless of his recent actions. Money is a bit too overplayed for me. Great written song, but I've heard it too much. Welcome to the Machine I never liked... i dunno why, I just can't get into it Thom Yorke played bass on The National Anthem didn't he? yes. as well as the song Kid A
February 17, 201016 yr Money is a bit too overplayed for me. Great written song, but I've heard it too much. Welcome to the Machine I never liked... i dunno why, I just can't get into it :disappointed:
February 19, 201016 yr Author so i've decided i'm going to try and release an acoustic/rough versions/demo album of songs i've had around for a while in a few months (would be sooner but school kinda interferes). so stay tuned! :D
February 19, 201016 yr so i've decided i'm going to try and release an acoustic/rough versions/demo album of songs i've had around for a while in a few months (would be sooner but school kinda interferes). so stay tuned! :D Coolness. Keep me up to date. I'm still at work on a solo album which has been in the works for over a year. Chalk full of all-original, never-before-heard songs which I feel are the best I've ever written. I'm looking at either a Spring Break or Summer recording sess.
February 19, 201016 yr ^cool! lemme know how it all goes will do. hey that actually reminds me, I'm planning on putting out physical copies of the album, but for those who can't get it, I want to make a complete digital copy complete with a booklet like on your EP. how did you get all that there?
February 19, 201016 yr Author well I made my booklet by designing it in Adobe InDesign. I never actually printed a phsyical copy with all the pages (didn't want to waste too much ink and a very small demand for physical release). From that I was able to export the file as a PDF, which people could then download. So I'd either use that program, and if you can't then perhaps scan your design for the booklet or something and then make a file that compiles all of them together (a PDF of images of the scan or something)

Like a FedEx kinko's or something? I'm terrible with stuff like this. :shame:
February 19, 201016 yr Author i'm not sure about a physical version. I was thinking about doing to kinko's or something but never got to doing it. I was also really thinking about just printing them at home and then cutting the pages out and stapling it all together. When I make my future releases I'm using inDesign to make my booklets (either digital or physical). You should think about possibly using that program. for me I was able to place all the images and typography where I wanted it to be. It worked best for me. Besides that I'm not exactly sure where to go to... if worse comes to worse i'd search online and see what other people have done

Hey if I send you the pics and stuff do you want to put it together for me using yours? I'll credit you in the liner notes :D
February 19, 201016 yr Author possibly... also adobe has free 30 day trial versions of their software, so u can use that when u're ready to make the booklet
February 19, 201016 yr Rather have you do it, if you'd be so kind. :nice: I'm having a lot of help from people on album stuff outside of the music, so I if you could give me any help I'd owe ya big time! :awesome:

March 8, 201016 yr I was wondering if anyone could be bothered to take the time to listen to a few of my songs. Well...not just mine...they're my band's, but I write about 90% of the stuff. It's just a little small 34 minute EP of 9 instrumental demos of songs I (that's Arion Dieginis Xenos) have written. Here's a download link via mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?trnud5qz2gt So, can you please leave feedback. And, excuse the bad mixing, I'm practically a novice at it! Oh, and there's a little cover song I've put in there (sigh, yes it is an instrumental, but that's just because I couldn't be bothered recording the vocals at the time), and please excuse my choice of keyboard drums!
April 11, 201016 yr bbbbump A Low Hum (an awesome independant NZ label) are interested in my electronic stuff. He says if I try play that stuff in a band, he'd be willing to get us gigs and come to our practices and you know, eventually sign us... I am now contacting Arlo, an okay drummer, to try this with me. He'd be best, as he has similar taste to me. And he'd be willing to rock out :P I'm excited. Ian (from A Low Hum) was also saying that if I did have a band together a couple of weeks ago, he would have got us to support Grayson Gilmour on his release tour. Grayson is practically a hero of mine... But Ian organises a lot of cool tours in NZ...I've got my hopes up! He's thinking/I'm thinking of doing this kind of stuff.
