caroline played viola on it. i dont know what kind she has. it’s really really nice though
never listened to smith westerns before really despite knowing them forever. song doesn’t sound similar at all and the progression is entirely different as is melody. recording quality is kinda comparable i guess though?
yes & the aislers set
google “i will be my own hell mediafire” or something maybe its around
i dont think there’s anywhere to find those im sorry
with a cable
the tape player has a microphone on it that’s why you use it
when we weren’t recording with a tape player we first recorded with a laptop mic (like the macbook pro one)
and then later with other microphones that cost money and are good


hey teenage nihilists™ i’m here to tell you that teenage nihilism™ doesn’t necessarily have to be a rationalization for self destructive behavior and/or being very mean and rude! you can also use teenage nihilism™ as an excuse for doing all kinds of nice & great things like always leaving a very good tip even if you’re not sure you can really afford to in the long run, or never being afraid to jump into a conversation with someone you might hope to hit it off with, or just following your dreams all around, because no matter what you will die sooner or later and your life will be a hollow void devoid of any symbolic meaning or association, as will everyone you ever meet, love, or hate. remembering this doesn’t have to enable your fostering drug habit or unpleasant demeanor - it can allow you to live a very fulfilling & wonderful life up until that point!
