  1. I will post it for a large enough offer but otherwise I'm sure there's someone in London who can get it easily for free! I don't want it any more.
  2. As per the title. This is free to whoever comes and gets it first (not a trap). I'm not posting it because I'm lazy. Assorted CDs and records, some promo shit. The catch is that there are mostly no cases/etc because it all got wet when my house flooded - most of it looks fine though. Also it's free. Does not come with anything on the table that isn't an item of Muse merch. PS. Mods, put this wherever you like.
  3. Friend of mine is doing a series of livelounge style videos in his front room and let me make a terrible noise for him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn-fGNrAWBs Give the channel a follow if you can!
  4. DJ mixer up on ebay if anyone's interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321429131170?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  5. I use Cubase 5 and ableton live and that's about it. Mostly because I've never really got on with Protools and have found my pc's onboard soundcard to be fine for 99% of things I want to do with it. I do have a protools compatible soundcard but I'm too lazy to set it up, if I'm honest. Cubase is fine for recording/composition/film stuff, especially when you have a moody copy of all the waves plugins. Ableton is fun for live stuff, I just wish you could drag clips onto the timeline and didn't have to 'record' them on.
  6. I don't know what power cords go for in america normally but it seems a fairly reasonable price for the gauge/length, so no harm done really. Obviously it won't make any difference to the tone, given that an IEC C13 / C14 interface is rated at 10a and even a 1.5mm2 (or AWG15/16) cable is more than enough to match that.
  7. Yeah that is bollocks - copper is copper. The only reason to pay more for audio cables is the connector/jacket/armouring quality and ability to stand up to abuse ie. gigging/touring.
  8. my band Swan Fight (occasionally featuring RyanBmuff off the Muse board) has released an EP via soundcloud here:
  9. Yeah I don't really get that either Would be cool on a big dark stage to have people lighting you up with flash - making it part of the lightshow
  10. The silly thing is, from looking at some of his other gig photography, he clearly knows how to work within the conventional framework. I can see why at a big gig, having a shit load of people all flashing away would be a) annoying for punters and b) potentially ruin the lighting effects/etc but for this sort of thing where it's one chap working with boring/non-existent venue lighting and with a high-energy act, I reckon the more the merrier In some cases I think it adds to the live vibe - don't think this: would have been quite the same without loads of disorientating strobe. Band/crowd/photographer all stumbling around the same space
  11. Some guy called me out for a fight! Edit: All amusement aside, it's interesting to see the photographer side of things and how they've built up this legend of ettiquette/etc.
  12. Haha so true! We've got a drop a song/riff that sounds like muse regardless of the amp I play it through
  13. Had to sell the 4x12 but to be honest at the moment I'm using whatever the venue/promoter supplies Live I generally set up with a cleanish tone on the neck pickup, which results in the bridge being dirty and the bluesbreaker is a brilliant extra gain stage. It doesn't do much by itself (even with gain on 10) but it layers amazingly. Basically a dirty boost with a tiny bit of tone-shaping. For recording I just lower the amp gain and it breaks things up nicely.
