stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I'm doing some long distance mix work for a friend, who recorded his drums at a high end studio where he lives.  They charge $80+ an hour.  The drums are recorded just fine, but there are two rings on the snare drum one semitone apart, creating the grossest snare sound imaginable.  I just messaged him with the bad news, but he's probably still sleeping.... I feel bad because he's probably going to want to redo them, and it's going to be costly.  I just hope he didn't record more drums in the meantime, as it took me a while to get around to checking these.  You'd hope that an engineer at a high end studio might suggest giving the snare a tune-up if it sounded like that.

Haha yeah that was one of them.  Although Marc Maron became really weird towards the end of that interview... he handled that one terribly.  I think they were feeding off each other.  Maron's usually pretty good, but he doesn't handle other peoples' crazy well at all.  I think it was actually reasonable for Gallagher to walk out of that interview, which is saying something.

I think its very telling I haven't heard of this guy until today. Really can't understand why people consider him a "legendary" comedian

He's not a very good comedian, and I don't think all that many people think of him as a legendary one either, his TV show is mediocre at best too. He's quite a good interviewer though, interesting guests and really gets them talking. I haven't heard a WTF pod in years though, so no idea if he's still got the goods.

I think Danny was referring to Gallagher, not Maron.  I hadn't heard of Gallaher either, except as a reference Bill Hicks used when he got angry at an audience and wanted to to insult their intelligence.  Oh man... if Gallagher actually was an interviewer that would be amazing.  I'd listen.  

yes, referring to Gallagher, not Maron

oh, right. I've never even heard of him, must be an american thing.

still though, Maron's standup is shit.

I've never seen his work, but I always thought Gallagher was a children's entertainer. 

I think he tries to appeal to all ages.  He seems to pride himself in being able to keep the "State Fair" audience entertained, which to his mind is what makes someone a true comedian.  I still haven't seen his act though.

FWP: need to borrow a guitar amp and get it down to the venue by 8pm, but I can't get ahold of my friend who's *hopefully* helping me get it there.  Shit.

I'm working overtime at my office and I can't even enough being alone while doing so because my coworker just showed up with her farty geriatric dog.

Blerp won't let me download my purchases, just gives an error. Besides being annoyed by that, now I'm also worried it's some bigger Amazon problem and our company servers are also acting wonky.

So i decided to get minced on a silly concoction and this led to me urinating all over my parents as they slept, i was bollock naked in full stream and had to be man handled whilst still urinating. All the way to the bathroom but i was having none of it and decided that the spare bedroom would be a great choice to finish...

so from 3am i ran around the house like a madman pure naked and all of this only came to light when i woke up against the radiator (luckily it wasn't on)...

Anyway i am genuinely that sad that my only worry/problem is what the F**K did i do whilst i was in the pub and between the walk home...

I have a buddy who goes off the rails when he's too drunk too. Is there like a booze = batshit gene? When I'm drunk I just get lovey and too touchy (not in a sexual way but in every other way) which is a completely different type of obnoxiousness.

That's fucking amazing.  What's the atmosphere like in your hows in the days following something like that?  

I remember Fred McGriff posted about being drunk in the middle of the night and deciding to urinate onto his TV.  I never get any more experimental than pissing in the middle of the road when Im drunk.  Nothing too fancy.

FWP: drum edits... the number of edits VS number kicks/snares are almost even...  It's always good to do several takes.

Ha.  Schwarzenegger typo.  Drum edits make a man crazy.

You can get drunk + lovey + touchy with me any ole time

*pets the kitty*

A couple of weeks ago a client scolded me like I was a kid because I told them I didn't have any spare time to work on their project. In the end they got what they wanted so this weekend I've been recording a billion texts with various voice talents and I'm so fucking tired now and I feel sick. I haven't even had time to eat anything today.

I think I am actually properly addicted to looking at timewasting shit on my phone. And my attention span has become so shortened I can't read books anymore. Just pick up my phone. Look at my phone.

I don't think this thread is helping.

Time to give up the phone. Stick to a laptop and basic phone. Sod this always connected bollocks.

FWP: drum edits... 

400 edits, 6 minutes of audio (2 songs), 5 hours work.  Sheesh.  This is giving me flashbacks to that death metal band I recorded back in the day... although their songs were 3 times longer with 20 times the kick drum.

a fkn massive cold in the summer - left sinus proper clogged, slime everywhere, in eyes, left ear blocked & tinnitus. feels gud man

well the magic potion wasn't that much really...

.3 packs of prawn cocktail discos...

.About a half bottle of Morgans straight...

.Then a smoke of o few Gs of weed...

.25-30 X 10mg Valium...

.At the pub i maybe had around 6 double Morgans & Coke...

(keep in mind i have only been drunk less than ten times in the past 12 or so years)

The atmosphere for others is awkward but i have no care... I then have the ability to make any situation laughable...
