She recently played for free in SF. Even though I didn't see her, I bought a bunch of her music. Damn is it good. It is funny how when the subject matter is dark her voice is still sweet and bright. The 70s arrangements kick ass too.

popscene seems to be the San Francisco spot where the Brits roll out their latest. I remember Kaiser Cheifs played there not too long ago.
Ken

boing! Congrats on the new mics. How about posting some files of each for us to compare? Just record the same vocal with each mic or something. I was going to suggest a handful of alternatives, but as you already have two mics, you may not be looking for more. Having said that, I think you would do ...

Speaking of which, yours are in the mail. Should be there Monday if not sooner.

Ken

Thanks! That is great. Good work all!

I am a huge fan of the songfight logo of the guy with the acoustic guitar beating on the guy with the trumpet.

Hi All,

Any chance someone can convert the show into something viewable in Windows Media Player? It's all I have at work.

Thanks,

Ken

Yes, he certainly does.

All the extra work making designs for songfighters as well as a real job and weekly covers.

Thank you!

I will be at work at 4pm today, so I can't record, but I would be happy to collab on lyrics with anyone who is interested.

not to get too off-topic, but Ken can you elaborate on what you mean by "changing the tube?"... I'm assuming you mean open up the box and put a different, more desireable tube in? I'm totally new to the tubular world, so forgive my lack of understanding. Thanks! Yes. That is exactly what ...

Just picked up a brand spanking new ART Pro Channel tube/optical comp/eq pre . Trying to figure out if it really adds anything extra in having that processing power "to tape" as opposed to working with plugs after. Certainly it rocks with bass guitar...wow! New microphone is on my hit lis...

Everybody run, the Homecoming Halftime Show's got a gun!

I saw that you can get an M-audio Audio Buddy Preamp and a pair of MXL condensers, the 990 & 991, for $99 right now at Guitar Center. If you are just plugging an SM57 into your soundcard, this is a great way to improve your set up for cheap.

Ken

I've had this for a while, and love it. LA2A on vocals is instant goodness. EX1 is a fine EQ. Unless you have the big money to spend on the Studio Pak, I suggest you find a used version of the orignal card as it has more plugins than the Project Pak.

I propose "Gearscussion" as in http://gearscussion.songfight.net. I suggest it be less of a how to, and more of a compiling of favorites. For example: Soundcards: I use a Mark of the Unicorn 828 mk2 - ken I use the Protools Mbox - Jack Shite Where to put your mic: In front of whatever is m...

Interesting interpretation of this movie:

Thanks!

Has anyone noticed that Unfunny.org isn't around anymore? How can we bring the internet's favorite songfight webcomic back to life?
