"The Electronic Flanger and the Development of Early British Post-Punk"

[swag]

will be the title of one of the papers I write when I next dream that I'm still in college and need to write more papers before I can graduate.

[jpgray]

1. Change "The Electronic Flanger" to "Beating off to Can Records" and you may have something

[swag]

2. I prefer my Can-jacking flanged.

Kind of like the old thing of "How do you like your coffee?"

[jpgray]

3. A good mushroom head is flanged anyway.

[swag]

8. Jesus, you're tellin' me.

[jpgray]

9. Meet Us in the Box

It will be the name of my first single.

[swag]

14. Oh, you and Burrhus both know that we've always been beyond

freedom and dignity in this office.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. That paper better come with a soundtrack.

[swag]

5. The soundtrack is more likely to come without the paper,

given that I've finally started converting vinyl to digital.

If I cobble a disc together, you will be the second to know.

7. Nice!

[asthmaticeog]

10. Don't forget heavily-chorused bass.

The essential post-punk effect, especially for the more gloom-minded. Oh yeah.

[swag]

12. Point well taken, but isn't that a six-string that Hooky is playing in that shot?

Did love the chorused bass.

It meant a lot.

It is beyond the scope of my dream paper, but still a critical component.

[asthmaticeog]

30. Oops.

I was tired.

[mitchum]

17. And the gawdawful sound of the Roland Jazz Chorus

[mitchum]

18. Phasing good/ flanging bad

very bad

[swag]

21. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

[mitchum]

27. No, I'm so dense I was replying to myself

Ack!

[momophile]

11. I too still need to write papers in my dreams

and maybe I would be able to pass the final exam if I had ever attended any classes.

[swag]

13. Don't forget to put on some clothes before you go

hunting for your class in the classroom you can't find, and then you end up in a maze of bathroom stalls with a wet floor and, oh, hell, is that the alarm already?

[RandomKoolzip]

15. Reimagine this narrative as Science Fiction-grounded and Martin Hannett

would make a convincing Darth Vader.

Jeff Lynne, of course, would be Obi-Wan Kenobi (those late-period Move recs all rock the flange pretty hard)

[swag]

19. What a lovely mixture of the sacred and the profane.

Is it a sign of my increasing sophistication that I can't tell which is which?

[bridgit]

16. hubby has a Boss flanger, and an octave, the flanger is cool but the octave...

makes trippy sounds :smoke:

[mitchum]

20. Phasing good/ flanging bad

very very bad

[swag]

22. I have always preferred flanging to phase-shifting,

but then again, I am not a dirty fucking hippie.

Smilie.

[mitchum]

25. Well, you must be a robot rather than a hippie...

if you prefer that harsh metal flanging sound :)

[swag]

28. You are on to something there.

"Take LSD and look at your house, and you will see the home of an insane robot." - Timothy Leary

Wow, maybe I'm a dirty fucking hippie after all.

[jpgray]

24. Few things sound worse than a badly used phaser

But I love mine!

[mitchum]

26. A badly used flanger is one of those things

[bridgit]

31. he actually sets it very lightly, when we moved the settings became all goofed up...

and when plugged back in it made a noise very less then desireable...until everything was reset :thumbsup:

[bridgit]

32. his has multiple settings where you can adjust between the two like a fader...

being one forward push one back or off :shrug:

[swag]

23. Hope to hear that one day,

with you chanting into a microphone passed through the whole mess.

[bridgit]

34. ha good one, it would be a mess indeed if i became involved...

:bounce:

[enigmatic]

29. I Love This

You gotta mutli-media this together, bro!:)


Lemmy, God Bless Him, was asked around the time Ace Of Spades came out what he thought about the Manchester Sound. Lemmy supposedly belched and said, "Just a bunch of fuckin' whiny sods in long gray raincoats cryin' about how fuckin' miserable the world is..."

Even though I loved most (if not all) of those bands he was talking about (and still do), I instantly became a Motorhead fan for life after that..

33. Magnificent quote.
