So I'm looking to start a melodic death metal band with a few buddies and hopefully get our first demo tape out before year's end. I've picked out our name, already have some lyrics written up, and am even in contact with a Russian dude who's willing to draw our logo for cheap. Can anyone more musically-literate give me some advice about the recording process, and potentially give me recommendations on bass guitars for beginners and other gear? It would be much appreciated.
I can help you deal with recalcitrant record executives

Wake and bake with BBs, then breakfast from the Biscuitville drive through.
Asheboro Biscuitville store to be replaced by new building | Blog ...


Nothing special but ok for fast food breakfast.

Next stop
North Carolina Zoo closed due to weather | myfox8.com


Many of the zoo attractions were closed due to covid CDC restrictions, gate receipts/lack of attendance, new construction and upgrades to the
animal enclosures. :-(

To control the masses, entry is scheduled. Our schedule was from 12:00 to close.
Mask required in line to enter and when in close areas such as the gift shop.
Once inside mask was not required although worn by about 50% of the people.

We rented an electric cart for my wife.

Indoor attractions aside from the main gift shop were closed. Outdoor congregating areas were few and limited to food, beverage and
restroom services.

Of the areas that were open, not many animals were active at the peak of the hot day.

The local fauna proved to be more active.
This is one of several that crossed the path.

The Wetlands are at the start of the zoo pathways.

By 3:00 were done and it still took an hour to get back to the front gate. Yes, Trolley and buss services within the zoo were
greatly curtailed.

This zoo has potential to be a great experience. I would return in better economic conditions.
I'm not disappointed that we went, it was still an awesome day together, and the flora and fauna we did see made it worth the trip.

It was decided not to take a dip in the pool.

The 1st hotel pool I've seen with a handicap pool lift.

Little water and dirty too. Not too surprising. It had been recently bought and remodeled.
The previous hotel signs were still out behind the parking lot.
I could tell a lot of $$$ had been put into lipstick for that pig.

All in all the room was clean and the TV was 46" LED w/in room mini fridge.

While scouting for the pool pic I encountered opposition from local residents.

Fuckers covered my shoe and up my ankle before I knew they were on me.
To bad there is no vid of that. I would have posted it up on the RIU Friday Dance thread.

Stopped for petroleum on the way out of town and snapped a shot of the local ground cover.
Fucking shit is everywhere.

You should take this to the music sub forum - much more likely to see informed responses there.

I think it was a dig about her marriage counselling post. :(
I lost a lot of money and real property because I co-mingled money. If I had structured differently I could have kept it. Unfortunately I never gave a thought to community property until it was to late. I've kicked myself several times and wished I'd consulted an attorney earlier. I read it from that angle.
