****WELCOME BACK GREENISH****

That's all I really have to contribute to the discussion at this time.

I'm not a big challenge guy & am pretty lukewarm when it comes to covers. BUT: I am very interested in collaboration.

I could see myself participating more in challenges if there was some promise of being paired up with another MeFi musician.

As not_on_display says, life does sometimes get in the way, but the MeMu collabs I have been involved in have all been great experiences.

Check-In thread

I really liked greenish's podcast, for example. I miss it & would love to see something like that be a regular thing. Happy to help as needed!

Awesome! You have been missed, Greenish!

The podcast was definitely a big fave of mine, I'd love to have it back if we can make the workload sustainable for you! Lemme know if there's anything we can do to help!

MeMu Pals (a retrospective/feel good thread)

As a side note: I intend to post my own, once I'm feeling more articulate. Mostly just wanted to get the ball rolling.

The 'happy birthday billiebee' track was definitely a highlight for me as well, haha.

not_on_display is a beauty, but we have yet to collaborate. I should really hit him up! The not_on_display/Greenish "Mississippi River" collab is a total MeFiMu classic.

Wow it's Karlos! Hi Karlos!

Yeah no kidding eh? Welcome back there, guy!

Metting Karlos the Jackal was a great experience. So far he is my first out-of-town IRL meetup friend. I'm long overdue to figure out some kind of IRL hang with dagosto, probably my longest-serving MeFi pal (aside from aegispolis, who I went to high school with and who turned me onto MeFi in the first place). dagosto has done some guest guitar work on a… [more]

I also wanna give a shout out to the two ochenk/billiebee collab tracks; those two make a great duo. I would hazard a guess that I'm not the only one on here that thinks they should do more ;)

My fangirling of greenish started over a (sadly gone) track of hers which still pops into my head on a regular basis.

Way too curious to hear this track now!

I was actually working on lyrics this week I swear! My problem is they're just crap so it takes a while

Oh, believe me, I know how that goes with lyrics. Don't worry about it, I promise ;)

THE CHALLENGE RETURNS?

I like InfidelZombie's idea of challenges that are collab-based. I confess I don't typically participate in the challenges much, because they're typically theme-based and I'm usually just content doing my own thing. But a collab mixer would be something that I think I would find really engaging! It's a bit more of logistical challenge, though.

Any one up for a wee collaboration?

I'd be down for a cheeky collab

A simple (yeah, right) question:

When I was a kid I remember wanting to hear a certain kind of song, but no one had written it yet.

It's also nice to have something to leave behind.

I'm touring this March! Want us to come visit you?

For the record, I just noticed my grammatical errors in this post. So unprofessional. I apologize.

Take 14

I bought one of those portable Zoom H2 handheld recorders a little while ago, which I actually find really handy for making music recordings. I'll set it in front of my acoustic guitar, for example, and loop whatever section I'm trying to record on my laptop (often as little as 4-8 bars). So essentially I'm looping a phrase on my sequencer but actually recording it to another source, so when I'm done I've got a single WAV file with a whole bunch of takes on it. Afterwards I'll upload the… [more]
