Good for you!! Mine should be ready to pickup from the luthier tomorrow!!!!!

Hey Wait -- I saw Third Eye Blind open with Semi-Charmed Life.... I saw Third Eye Blind?

Damn. We do that at my work

You and me both -- a la the Living Room performances. I would instantly turn into little-kid-at-disneyland level of excitement.

I think you can possibly find what you need under the info section of their website. I think someone once said that contacting their management was the way to go.

I was once told, by my college economics professor, that the majority of the national debt is money owed by one branch of the government to another. I don't know if that's entirely true, but it made me feel better...Now, the fact that China is purchasing our debt is scary.

USAToday is reporting it was sleeping pills and not heroin (?).

I saw them along with Live during a sleet storm in Denver -- and it was outside. I thought they played pretty well, but Adam Duritz (sp?) came across as a huge douche. Then I learned his dreads were really extensions...that upped the douche-o-meter even more. Still, they have some cool tunes.

Not the Wilco's first album thread I was expecting. I wonder if there are coupons for iPod accessories?

*Fingers crossed for a leak

Come to Salt Lake City, where I live. You'll learn....oh will you learn.....

I'd suggest getting a hard drive enclosure that hooks up via USB (

This show brings the crazies out of the woodwork. I love it. I'm always amazed at those people. The first few episodes of each season are just solid gold.

The upside is that it's exposing America's youth much better music (from the past) than most of the crap that's out there now. Still, for the price of those games you could go get a guitar and really learn some songs. Just MHO.

I used to dislike MMJ. Now I think they're quite talented. Still can't get into U2.

El Ron and bobbob -- great posts in this thread. They echo my sentiment on the whole topic. Now, present that swinging ass.

Could you elaborate on these two points? I'm electricity-soldertarded

5' 10"

Yes. 100%. I totally agree.

I feel like people who can solder pedals, amps, etc. really have a one-up on the do-it-yourself stuff. I looked through the amp section at reranch and was just baffled. It would be awesome to tackle making something like that, but transistors, capacitors and circuits never really made sense to me. I'm hoping this guitar building is going to improve some of that. What kind of neck are you going to use on your guitar? It's original one?

Killer! What color is the leather pickguard?

The body is a solid alder telecaster body. It's gonna be finished in sonic blue with the paint reranch sells. I was originally gonna go with swamp ash, but I heard grain filling it is a lot of work. After looking at a number of pics, I really wish I would have had them do binding on the body -- such a nice look. It'll have a mint pickguard too. The neck specs: 1 11/16" nut width, 12" straight radius, Quartersawn maple neck and fretboard, '59 back contour, vintage finish and short-scale -- like a Gibson neck, but to go on a telecaster. Kind of specific, but hey -- I figure it's gonna be the g

Thanks for the advice! I've been checking into all the suggestions and will add these to the list.

Yes. I'd take Giselle over Jessica any day

I agree. I think iTunes has done leaps and bounds for "un-pirating" a fair percentage of music listeners, IMO. With HD movies, to my knowledge, aren't able to be pirated...yet.
