Oh hell those are fucking sweet? Electric stuff is great.

[ He feels a bit dumb but hey he can throw in a towel because is dere for music. ]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah!

Look there's guitars too:

[roughplayer]

Damn. I'll stick to what I have though, the sound is unmatched with solid wood.

A light show ain't what I want either. Music's music.

[fiddlestick]

Haha.

Well said. Spoken like a true musician.

[HE'S ON TO YOU]

But I can't deny enjoying indulging in aesthetics once and awhile.

[maskreant]

most traditional instruments look refined, anyway.

at least we’ll seem classy.

[ HE KNOWS THEY’RE TRASH. ]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, seeming classy is as good as being classy!

I still wanna try some postmodern jukebox stuff. Let's do that this summer, assuming there's time.

[maskreant]

even though my instruments are purple, i don’t see why not? i’ve seen some videos and it’s cool.

but we won’t know what’s in store for us with Retrospec.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, we'll worry about the purple later. Let's try to get the sound down first.

Yeah...I know. Still, I wanna make sure we have some fun this summer.

[fabrefactions]

This is a likely a stupid question, but you've listened to the CD then I take it?

[fiddlestick]

About a dozen times now.
Thank you for getting it!

[fabrefactions]

It's no problem. It definitely sounded like your sort of thing completely.

[fiddlestick]

Oh it is! A beautiful experimental mix of old and new!
And such a classy look!
I loved it.

[fabrefactions]

The videos are incredibly charming, aren't they? I'm quite fond of the cover of "Closer" - the first one, not necessarily the follow up. Which is strange as I was never too fond of the original, but this one is wonderful.

[fiddlestick]

Oh I remember that one! Kenton Chen has a lot of talent! I actually do like the original version, but he puts such a different into it with his cover that it's fascinating.

[fabrefactions]

Something about the original didn't sit right with me, although it did grow on me somewhat. But Kenton Chen's version was immediately enjoyable.

[fiddlestick]

What didn't sit right with you?

[ lawd, elliot. ]

Personal preference? The synth didn't sound as nice, and admittedly I looked it up after I listened to the Postmodern Jukebox version.

[fiddlestick]

I see... so are you not a fan of synth? Or just that synth in particular?

[fabrefactions]

In this instance? I'm not a fan. I'm not sure about other styles.

[fiddlestick]

Hmm, okay.

Try listening to this and tell me what you think.

[fabrefactions]

... That was just meshing a bunch of different songs together with a synthesizer in the background.

[fiddlestick]

[Jotting notes down!]

Yes, that's a mash-up. It's a style where someone will carefully put recordings together to make a new song. Like a collage, but with music.

[fabrefactions]

While I can understand the appeal of doing so, is it not better to pour your time and effort into original pieces...?

[roughplayer]

I don't do that stuff anymore, so I'm not, okay?

[fiddlestick]

Right, of course...

[DOUBT. But he's not going to press it, sounds like it's a personal issue and Elliot knows firsthand that's something you have to work through on your own.]

Well, you're still welcome to join us for jam sessions if you want. It's nothing serious, it's just for fun.
