Hi Kids~
(At thirty I'm allowed to say that now)
First off - I'd like to say that I went to Vancouver Wednesday and saw a
band from Victoria called Hot Hot Heat and they blew me away. If you like
ATD-I, add keyboards, and you have Hot Hot Heat. Great energy and a loud
live show! They apparently have quite the following already.
Via Napster, name Mapledaisy, or just do a search for Hot Hot Heat. I only
found one mp3 so far - will look for more....
Next question - we built my old PC into our home stereo (hence the Napster
always running on the cable modem) - quite easy - just "plugged in" to our
tuner - then to the house speakers - voila! All the mp3's and internet
radio stations (a la 3wk.com) are now throughout the house. Unfortunately,
as mp3's tend to suck ass, the distortion rate is astounding on many
tracks. I think it's from the volume they are recorded at. SO - do you
think a new sound card would do the trick? What should I be looking for?
I've tried re-downloading some of the bad songs, but alas, it's still
distorted and makes it sound like my speakers are blown (they aren't....
YET).
Any advice from you savvy audio techies?
PS: My cousins band Closed Caption Radio (in Vancouver) is in the studio
for CD number two. Check them out on Napster as well - I have a few songs
by them - familiar sound to MM and ATDI - the songs are three years old,
but they still rock. Seattle kids: John Richards at KCMU 90.3 is playing
them now! woo-hoo!
