The Polemic just released a new song that me, Devin Charette, and my friend Devon Dame engineered. I mixed it. It's Track 03, go check it out.

best thing out of CT since tawdry, scenester sluts!!!!

the drums need to go WAY UP in the beginning...they are really really really low when the distortion is on...at least the snare and kick. The cymbals cut through. Towards the end they get louder, but in the beginning you can't really hear them.

there is some guitar noise in the beginning that could be taken out. and at the end, I think.

other than that, the tones are good. the vocals are placed fairly well.

the shit i did with Terminally, Your Aborted Ghost should be up soon. And I'm also recording Colin of Arabia.

um.................

vox too high in the first part. cant hear the drums half of the time unless the guitars have stopped or play softly with no distortion. i hear cymbals....... pay more attention to the EQ in the mix and make more room for everything to come through.

but im a dickhead so dont listen to me.

this wasn't even the final mix that i gave them... which i just noticed. pure volume doesn't like me that well.

there are some things i could have done better, but with a limited time schedule you can't make anything perfect.

Interesting Factoids:

--Jeff once showed us his balls and cock at a chinese food restaurant parking lot in CT. This was not by request.

--Donovan plays through a PA head plugged into his cabinet. He seems to like the sound more.

--Jeff is a TA at a college in RI.

--Josh goes to UConn and organizes many of the shows there. Check out his site www.uconnshows.cjb.net

--Up until recently, all of the polemic merchandise was spray paint on cloth. Only now do they have merch with silk-screening on it.


This is all for now. I believe they also have a myspace account.

--Josh can scream louder than any other motherfucker I've met
