Soda Jerk Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I didn't used to hate my job, but now I'm totally a job hater. I used to work in a team of 3, but 2 peoples have quit. I thought I was going to get a couple of temps to boss around, but instead the big boy upstairs thinks it would be more economical to just let me do all the work of 3 people for a few months until the job has been advertised, and interviews have been arranged, and the preferred candidates have been selected, references have been sought, notice periods have been adhered to... The jobs haven't been advertised yet, so I'm up shit creek for ages. Fuck the Council. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJimF Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 People who don't read emails properly.I emailed about a room, stating twice in the email I was wanting to know when I could view it. The person emailed back giving information about the flat that was in the advert in the first place, but never mentioned anything about viewing it. So I had to email back again asking about viewing and am waiting to hear back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Overuse of gang vocals. If you want to make a song soung MIGHTY, write a MIGHTY song. Adding multiple layers of vocals shouting "THIS IS OUR TIME!" or some other cliche doesn't make a song revolutionary.I fucking love the tune below, but the gang vocals and the wanky spoken-word bridge towards the end are just fucking wank. Cunts. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I love gang vocals. But it's like feedback. Used enough and it's awesome. too much and it ruins the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Gang vocals shouldn't be done on record. If you're gonna have gang vocals on a record, you might as well have a bunch of people clapping at the end of every song, and everyone demanding on encore as the last song fades out.Recorded gang vocals. Dumb. Fuck them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 They work on record if they're not over used. Trust me, I'm the best at music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 No. They don't work. They are always the worst part of a song. They are to be done live by the whole crowd when everyone sings the hook together. Putting gang vocals on your album is essentially rehearsing that big sing along part in advance. Forced. Shit. Fuck gang vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nope. It's ALL bad.What if it's just the members of the band all chiming in with one line, like they do live. That still constitutes GVs IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I like harmonies and solid backing vocals. When backing vocals are kind of shouty, are they classed as gang vocals? I dunno, sometimes I like it, others I agree with Soda./fence.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I associate gang vocals with when it sounds like there's loads and loads of people doing the backing vocal part. I don't dig that. It sounds corny. Like some kind of stadium rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
