attn: orso
lauren orso and I are supposed to be starting a sludge band
but I dont know what that means
she said she wanted to do "twee pop" or sludge.
I dont really know what twee pop is
3:19pmRyan
Sludge means any song CJ wrote for RSO that got the LETS JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING UNTIL HE FORGETS veto from me or the THIS SUCKS SHIT veto from Mordechai.
3:20pmRyan
Twee pop is very annoying, cutesy girl harmony singing & such.
3:20pmJohanna
yeah
I fiugured
and that represents everything I hate about girls being in bands
and I cant sing
or strum quickly
so I nixed that
3:20pmRyan
Sludge is easy to do, especially as the bassist.
You just need at RAT pedal or something and a loud amp.
3:20pmJohanna
I was like...I can sing-talk in a monotone voice sorta sonic youth esque...
3:21pmRyan
Basically go listen to the bass riff from the Melvins song NIGHT GOAT and that's all you really need to do.
3:21pmJohanna
its gonna be really bad since I havent touched that bass since I moved.
3:21pmRyan
oh boy
I think we should solve 11 problems with one stone & have two bass players and have me come by.
3:22pmJohanna
I like that
I asked lauren originally if she was gonna play bass too, but she wants to play drums
I think you could keep us motivated.
I kinda want less sludge...slightly more garagey...weirdness.
like...not total boner kill droney sludge.
3:22pmRyan
Shortscale bass & bow it is!
3:23pmJohanna
hhahah
lauren suggest the name "funny uncles"
I say it should be"say uncle" because it will be so so so bad
3:24pmRyan
FAT KID TAP OUT
3:24pmJohanna
hahahhahaa
HAHAHHAHAA
3:24pmRyan
It's a name and a warning!
You gotta get cerebral with these things!
3:24pmJohanna
what kind of pedal would I need?
3:25pmRyan
I actually would just bring that Beta Lead amp I have over (the one I used in RSO for the longest time before I got the fancy new Sunn amp) as it has three instrument inputs.
So we could both just use the same amp.
3:25pmJohanna
also. I dont have a head or a cab and have crippling stage fright, so this isnt really terribly realistic
oh
neat
I can just be real stoned.
all the time.
right?
3:26pmRyan
Yeah, it's got a "GAIN" (i.e. distortion) knob on the amp & you know that thing is stupid loud so it'll be fine.
Lake was always real stoned.
Or drunk.
Or both.
3:26pmJohanna
I'd also have to feign an obnoxious amount of apathy.
would could get annoying
but I'm getting carried away...
3:27pmRyan
Chris was great at that, shut up.
3:27pmJohanna
LISTEN, RYAN. THIS ISNT RSO 2.0
wait.
lets just call it that anyway, though
3:27pmRyan
I'll give you one of my luchador masks to wear if you don't want to look at people.
3:27pmJohanna
BWAHAHAHHAH
rsotwopointoh
3:27pmRyan
I think we should be Mordechai & the Beagles.
3:28pmJohanna
Wood
semi
LETS BE "SEMI"
it could refer to the fact that we are all total dicks.
sorta
3:28pmRyan
I'll run with SEMI, semi committed, semi hardon, semi people, etc.
GOOD CALL!
There's no off position on the genius switch.
