My 4-Track Role Model


too lazy to get out the scanner, this is a cropped picture of the tape cover

In 1993 I got a tape in the mail. My dad's friend from high school, Paul Fleming had done some shit on his 4-track out in San Francisco and he wanted us to listen to it. Honestly, it blew my mind. I think (retrospectively, of course) that it sounds like some Bob Mould shit.

I've had this tape for years and I really think that it's the thing that made me want to get into home recording. I just ripped it from tape to mp3, and here's my favorite song on it, "Career Girl". I've tried to get every band I've been in to cover and no one ever would.

I think I'll just re-record it myself.

Paul, if you're reading this, I really just wanted to say thanks. Is there other stuff from this period that I haven't heard?
