NEW MUMBLIN DEAF RO MP3s/ALBUM DETAILS (2 Viewers)

[Pantone247]

I'm looking forward to the Classic Albums documentary of this Album

Ro: at the last minute we realised the album was sounding much to hi-fi, we were at the mastering suite in Bob Clearwaters studio in LA at the time and I realised we needed some sort of kids xylophone...

Bob Clearwater: so I had like... HUNDREDS of xylophones... I mean vintage shit, this one here *tinkle tinkle* that's the one from Benny and the Jets by Elton John, the actual xylophonoe... but Ro... he said no...

Ro: I knew exactly the sound I wanted for this one piece, and I was willing to scrap the album if I didn't get it

Bob: So he sends for a childs xylophone, from Dublin... Dublin, Ireland, from some music store called The Waltons, and we wait like... five days for it turn up... no one can go home... we can't work on any other shit... he even made sure that they broke the case on it during shipping, just to get that specific lo-fi childs xylophone sound... but y'know *raises faders* you can really hear it in the final mix

*irriatating dead out of tune tinging sounds eminates from speakers, Bob Clearwater visably winces*

 

[MDR]

ro, will this be a dog friendly album launch?

Sorry no dogs or cureheads allowed.

 

[MDR]

just myspaced you there Ro.
this should be a good night too.

does this album have any profanities on it?

There were a few 'Hecks' on it, but they became drowned out by xylophones in the mix.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Sorry no cureheads allowed.

Ehh, what about Mary dude?

 

[MDR]

By the way I'm playing an in-store in Tower at 4pm on saturday if anyone is around. That is, provided my super extra hoarse voice has sorted itself out by then.

that's funny, I always thought you mimed

 

[MDR]

Ehh, what about Mary dude?

I don't think Juno would appreciate the name 'Mary Dude'.

 

[MDR]

that's funny, I always thought you mimed

Only my guitar playing and sense of humour are mimed.

 

[Pantone247]

and mimed very well I might add

 

[Juno]

I don't think Juno would appreciate the name 'Mary Dude'.

I dunno, it has a certain je ne sais quoi...

And banning Cureheads is a hate crime! Curist!

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yessss.
My last attempt at a 'final solution' for the cureheads failed.

 

[MDR]

Thanks to everyone who came down for the in-store on saturday and especially to RedTapeMenace for helping out with the sound.

[RED(tape)MENACE]

The music for its part is sparse and generally acoustic but somehow sounds much bigger than it actually is.

Result!

 

[Scientician 0.8]

I still don't get the economics of you giving us a copy of the album and a gig at the same time. Jahmazing!

 

[dork]

I don't have friends or know anything or much or nothing but i reckon i will come and see you play your music. are their corners to stand in?

 

[dork]

there.

there.

Ro will have to have special corners added to the room.

 

[snakybus]

is a special corner like a special bus?

 

[Squiggle]

is a special corner like a special bus?

Dunno, what's a special bus like?

I was thinking more along the lines of changing the geometry of the room with use of extra walls to provide an increased number of corners suitable for people to hide in.

 

[dork]

I don't need any special corners. Just regular ones will do. I don't know if I'd be able to make it if it's in a round room. That could be confusing. Perhaps a general "dark area" where I could hide so people don't see I'm a nigel-no-friends would be sufficient?
