2010-04-29 19:24:28 by Mimzy1989 Q: (2 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, and 19 hours ago.)

A: i like their song brand new colony (2 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, and 15 hours ago.)

2008-11-16 23:11:00 by Randall C Q: Does anyone know of the software that bands like "The Postal Service" use to make their beats/songs? (3 years, 9 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 14 hours ago.)

A: really theres no way of telling unless you ask them, obviously... theres just too many programs out there capable. software with automated drum tracks (similar to Postal Services beats) are: -fruity loops (free) -FL Studio -Tracktion -Sequel -Acid -Reason -Sonar -Cubase -Live -Nuedo -Logic -Pro Tools -Motu(DP6) (3 years, 9 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 14 hours ago.)

2006-12-27 15:28:17 by big_j_nast_e Q: I want to make electronica powerpop, but all I can afford is a 200 dollar keyboard. Anyone have any experience with synthesizers, and tell me what I need? Any computer programs that would help me for now? (5 years, 10 months, 1 week, 3 days, and 22 hours ago.)

A: Maybe try having an original style of music instead of duplicating something that's already been done. Innovation drives the world, Duplication fosters mediocrity. (5 years, 10 months, 1 week, 3 days, and 14 hours ago.)

2009-06-28 14:35:11 by Alyse Q: Are there any other awesome bands with electronic chill music? I doubt that's the genre, but that's what I call it. I like Electric President too. (3 years, 1 month, 3 weeks ago.)

A: I love postal service and good way of putting the genre. Now some other bands that would fit into that would be like "junior boys" and "hot chip" I don't know if you have herd much of either of these but both are great once you get into hot chip they are amazing. Some other ideas: -electrelane -menomena -bright eyes (not electric but goes very well with postal service) -sigur ros songs like saeglopur Definately give menomena a go they are prob the most like postal service, I have heaps and if I think of some more I will tell you them to (3 years, 1 month, 3 weeks, and 15 hours ago.)

2009-04-06 10:58:44 by TiЯДMi$u Q: Aren't they underrated? 3/4 of their songs, the few they made, are classic. You can definitely hear their electronic influence in today's music. They kind of began the whole new wave/80s revival thing in today's music. What are your favorite songs? I like "Such Great Heights" and "Sleeping In". (3 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 4 hours ago.)

A: I like that group. Such Great Heights is my favorite song of theirs. Sleeping In is a good song too, though. (3 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 15 hours ago.)

2009-01-20 13:05:51 by kelly123 Q: i heard the people in "the postal service" never meets when they make music is this true? why are they called the postal service? thanks (3 years, 7 months, 1 week, 5 days, and 1 hour ago.)

A: The Postal Service band members live in different states, it's true. They all do certain parts of the song, and send it via The United States Postal Service (hence their name) to each other for editing, and more collaboration ideas. :) (3 years, 7 months, 1 week, 5 days, and 14 hours ago.)

2007-06-09 20:07:00 by steve c Q: i am mostly looking for the song nothing better i can't find anything that has any music i can only find guitar tabs but they don't even have a guitar so it bugs me i want there piano music (5 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, and 19 hours ago.)

A: Try http://www.sheetmusicfox.com They have a great variety of free sheet music, and a very powerful sheet music search engine. (5 years, 4 months, 1 week, 5 days, and 15 hours ago.)

2009-10-10 19:22:09 by takoffyrpanznjkt Q: I want to start recording again. I have played drums for a number of diffrent bands and I miss making music and playing shows. I have gotten a little bit older now and have no time really to do that anymore. I have had a urge latly to start making music solo. I really love what the postal service does and have dabbled with a few programs. I am thinking about buying a new desktop with reason 4.0, a midi controller, and studio moniters. What do you guys think? Sound like a good plan? or should I get protools too? (2 years, 10 months, and 19 hours ago.)

A: I sadly cant afford reason 4 but i got the opertunity to try a demo and it is amazing, i think that sounds like a good plan. reason 4 is really good, and can do a lot with a few instruments, some mics, and some good editing and recording software. (2 years, 10 months, and 15 hours ago.)

2008-04-29 23:45:18 by Joey V Q: I kneed the piano sheet music for the song Nothing Better By the postal service please help thx (4 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, and 15 hours ago.)
