Here are some photos Liz Stunz sent me in an e-mail the other day.  She is in some of them and in some of them I am all alone.  There is a cat in one of them.  One of them might have been posted before, but its a nice photo and you see Liz in her underwear (hawt!).  Friends are so fun!

Caffeine Insomnia

Caffeine can temporarily make us feel more alert by blocking sleep-inducing chemicals in the brain and increasing adrenaline production.

Avoid caffeine (e.g. coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) close to bedtime

(E)The Future of Crust(A)

Herb here, controlforce crue, aka young ian, aka dj house dj. Posting from deep in the North end of Boise, Idaho. Klick the image above to understand the future of crust.

The new EP is finally coming to a close and I am quite pleased with it. Hag and Dogboss aka young keith, aka young ryan, aka mc ramones fan, aka dj ipod shuffle are finishing up the tail end of editing and recording. It should be 5 songs of punishment pop/pop blist, I hope.

I didn't really have anything in mind when writing this EP other than intense heart ache and then intense heart warmth. At any measure, it was all from the heart y'all. If you make fun of me for it I'll egg your house, cool? Cool.

Anyway we're rounding the bend on this release so keep an eye out for it, it'll be out online for free, then released on tape. We are also getting featured on a killer ramones compilation out of Russia which we are really stoked on, hopefully we'll get a few copies or get to make a few copies.

We are doing Pet Cemetary and even though I won't be recording the bass, our kill em all kick ass Band Manager and favorite fill in bassist Ken Band aka Kentaro Murai, aka thief in the knife laid it down. The cover art is sick rad
Anyway, I've meandered enough, peace out.

Pet Cemetary Cover Recording!

Here are some pictures of recording our version of the famous Ramones with their song "Pet Cemetery." Done originally for the hit film "Pet Semetary" written by Stephen King, the song has a message that our group really much agrees with.


As for the recording, we used much vigor, setting up blankets, mics, and equipment to get the truest sounds imaginable. The drums used an SM57 & an AT4050 on the snare, SM57s on each tom, a D6 on the BD, EV N/D 357a dynamic super cardioid pattern girl's mics on overheads, and a Shure Beta 87a on hi hats.


The guitars used various fuzz and overdrive pedals on various parts of the song. And we used a 57 and AT4050 on the Peavey badass cabs. Keith played a fake telecaster. Tim played a mexican's strat. Ken played a mexican's p bass.


On bass guitar amp of fender rumble 100 with 15" speaker we used a DI box, a D6 kick mic, and a 57.


We will use the AT4050 for all vocals. We use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interface for AD/DA conversion.


All in all we have obtained a fast wall of sound sound with many superfluous tracks and big ideas. We are adding Yamaha synthesizer soon on chroruses. Check out: ramonetothebone.info for the Ramones compilation our Pet Cemetery will be on at the end of the month. Punkliv.

Ctrlforce Recording!

Recording, better than prison!
Ryan, focusing his drumset
Middle finger to windows, fuck Billy Gates.
Getting the snare mic to the sweet spot.
What we are hoping to sound like.

Ctrlforce Recording!

Setting the drums up, this is gonna sound good.
Gonna lay down those trax, getting the overheads on the right part of the x-axis.
It's gonna sound so good, just as long as we get that room mic in the right place.
The sapphire 8 tracker, keep it real.
Fuck mic clips.
