Why does everyone say they have/had/are recording an EP when it's really what would have been called a demo 10 years ago?

People have been putting out EP's forever. A demo is an unfinished sketch of a song. An EP is an "Extended Play" record, just as much a finished recording as an LP is. The EP fell out of favor for a while when record players were able to play 12 inches and such at 33 1/3 rpm, and even more so with the CD. But in the digital age of staying relevant and releasing more music in less physical forms, the EP has been making a steady comeback as a release tool for bands of all sizes.

because some people can't appreciate greatness like that

Well then i'll be seein you back there

i like San Antonio Taco Company (or, as it's better known "Satco") for some tex-mex food. There's one near the Vanderbuilt campus and one in downtown.

Behind the stage? you staying in guest camping?

can't put an @ symbol in the hashtag, so it might be better to just take it out and do #rightnowroo

I remember being on the ferris wheel during that Bassnectar set, and seeing the enormous crowd there and at Lil' Wayne and being just "NOPE!"

Nate23VT · 2012-05-25T17:24:30.778911+00:00

I can assure you, i will be wherever skrillex is not that night, for many many reasons

Antlers > War on Drugs, i've seen both bands multiple times. Antlers always kill it live, War on Drugs a bit more "meh"

P90 humbucker? I think it would sound pretty cool.

Probably the best song my band has recorded so far http://leavesofgreen.bandcamp.com/track/east-4th

I remember getting one of these things in highschool and using it as a towel for my bowling ball

TL;DR I didn't get laid in highschool

Bon Iver is great, but it's gotta be Ben Folds Five all the way. I'll probably actually leave the fest after the Five's set is done. It might have been a different story if i didn't see Bon Iver last summer, but i just love those first Ben Folds records so much, there's no way i'm missing an opportunity like this.

We'll leave thursday around noon probably from NYC, it's a 14 hour drive, but we'll probably stay in a hotel somewhere along the way. Last year we left a little later, so we drove 7 hours and stopped in Roanoke, VA before leaving again thursday morning. This year we should be able to make it a little farther the first day.

I could do without Yelawolf personally, but throw GZA and Das Racist in there and i'd be more than happy

You're going to need:

Microphones, you probably only need to use one mic at a time (except for drums, that could be a difficult one). If you're just starting out, and SM57 or SM58 is probably a great place to start, as they can do basically anything you want for $100. Drums is a whole different monster, but you could feasibly mic a drumset with just one microphone.
An interface, either a USB interface or a Firewire interface, preferably with Microphone preamps (xlr inputs).

Questlove ft. Ludacris, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Childish Gambino, Danny Brown, and Reggie Watts? I'd watch that

You could always look at the Rockits, you can probably find a pair for about $300

Shame you guys broke up, i really like this song. Sounds really tight, and the production is good especially for a live video. Reminds me of Mutemath or Mew, really great vibe.

Saw this on my main page, didn't get the joke until i realized it was an r/guitar post

We're a duo from New York City, though we just added a third member on drums

jak551 · 2 days

That's high praise, literally our two favorite bands

In case anybody was wondering, the whole thing was shot on real film (not sure what kind, i'm not the video savy person), and the song was recorded over a couple of days in our friends attic. Would love feedback, questions, advice, comments, hate mail, or whatever

I like the Audio Technica AT2020 for $99, i use it on most of my bands vocals even when better mics are available because i think its pretty neutral and suits our singers voice well.
