Well, if you’re a Mac man, Logic Pro is your best bet. If you’re a windows man, then the only step UP from Cubase is Pro Tools. I think other DAWs like Reaper etc would just be a side step and wouldn’t justify the change of DAW. If you’re not going up to a pro DAW, why change at all, y’know?

What are you changing from?

Agreed!

Yeah it’s a great song live.

Honestly, me too.

Oh yeah. The Surfin’ USA controversy is a big story in music history. It brought up a commentary about white artists basically stealing from black artists and reaping more success. Which is a WHOLE other subject in music history…

Haha NOPE! She just wailed and screamed in true Yoko style. Berry was like “wtf?!” And his face of judgement during this performance was priceless.

Haha yup. But whatever. I’m a firm believer that the creation of art is 20% inspiration, 80% imitation.

Nope. Come Together in a Lennon/McCartney song that lifted a lot of melodic and lyrical ideas from Berry’s You Can’t Catch Me. If you compare them, it’s very obvious. Even down to the use of the lyric “old flattop”. They slowed down Come Together to try and make it more unique, but it didn’t work!

I see from your banner photo that you have a Trident! I was *this* close to buying a 78 last year, but the deal fell through. How do you find it?

I am never short of amazed by how much this little thing can do. I totally agree!

Ok! Try “Spirit of Eden” by Talk Talk, “Treasure” by the Cocteau Twins and “Spiderland” by Slint. They should keep you going 😉

Ah ok. Well, given the eclectic taste of your list that seems to blend rock, funk and soul, with a touch of alt/experimental, I would recommend adding “In Rainbows” by Radiohead, “Dummy” by Portishead and “Loveless” by a My Bloody Valentine. Take a listen, lmk if you vibe with them! 😎

What recommendation are you looking for? The best one to purchase from this list?
