TCP Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It was recorded at a home studio in Denver, Colorado, I believe. --MikeNebraska was on a 4 track cassette recorder.

markosis Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The acoustic bonus tracks for My Aim Is True are classic. I've been under the impression they were recorded on a reel-to-reel machine in EC's bedroom. Take off your shoes, hang up your wingsStack up the chairs, roll up the rugSavor the things that sobriety bringsDrain in the last from a jug But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blueI can't resist you, I can't waitTo twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hallThere's nothing I love better than a free for allTo take your pretty neck and see which way it bendsBut when it is all over we will still be friends Wave a white flag, put away the pistolToo many people just can't get kissedBut if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, babyHope you don't murder me Oh, was it all right, or was it okayI'll make it all up to you somedayOh, but you didn't have to laugh that wayOh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way Wave a white flag, put away the pistolToo many people just can't get kissedBut if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, babyHope you don't murder meGee, baby, hope you don't murder me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigideas Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 i thought Pink Moon was recorded in a studio - seems i've read a story about those sessions somewhere. i think even the second Shins record was mostly recorded at home, just mainly the drums were recorded elsewhere. Of Montreal's last few records have mostly been Kevin Barnes by himself at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Golden Smoghead Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 i thought Pink Moon was recorded in a studio - seems i've read a story about those sessions somewhere. me too. Wikipedia has this: Although Island neither expected nor wanted a third album, Drake approached Wood in October 1971 to begin work on what would be his final release. The sessions took place over two nights, with only Drake and his engineer present in the studio. The bleak songs of Pink Moon are short, and the eleven-track album lasts only 28 minutes, a length described by Wood as "just about right. You really wouldn't want it to be any longer." Drake had expressed dissatisfaction with the sound of Bryter Layter, and believed that the string, brass and saxophone arrangements had resulted in a sound that was "too full, too elaborate". Drake appears unaccompanied on Pink Moon, save for a single piano overdub on the title track. "He was very determined to make this very stark, bare record", Wood later recalled. "He definitely wanted it to be him more than anything. And I think, in some ways, Pink Moon is probably more like Nick is than the other two records." i think even the second Shins record was mostly recorded at home, just mainly the drums were recorded elsewhere. Good to know, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigideas Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Wincing may have a lot of home recording too, i didn't read up on it as much. Spoon, at least the early records, were recorded by themselves. I actually came across my Tape Op with their interview around Girls Don't Tell time. oh yeah.... Emitt Rhodes aka the one man Beatles recorded his records by himself in his parents' garage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nicburto Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Does anyone know where I can get some Emitt Rhodes albums? I looked on amazon and they are out of print (not on itunes as well). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Does anyone know where I can get some Emitt Rhodes albums? I looked on amazon and they are out of print (not on itunes as well). this here cd contains two albums on it - one is his work as leader of merry-go-round (he wrote time will show the wiser in that band, which fairport convention covered - you may know it) and the other album is one of his solo albums called "the american dream" - check out the track listing if you don't believe me. anyway, there's a little tip for you in purchasing some emitt rhodes. the other one of his really worth hearing is his self-titled debut solo album, but that is expensive to find, i'll admit.

His self-titled and The American Dream are actually my personal favourites anyway. Did anyone mention Badly Drawn Boy's first album in this thread? I'm pretty sure that was home-made.
