If it is PC formatted, it will work on PC and Mac. If it is Mac formatted, it will only work on Mac....so....yes.

I might be getting a Jazzmaster. I am stuck on a color -- surf green or sunburst. The sunburst seems classic, while the surf green seems cool. I'm not sure what color would be a better "vibe". I currently have a sunburst strat, which makes me lean a little to the surf green. Any thoughts? I am not interested in the sparkly Mascis one.

Mom and sis are getting fleece jackets. Dad's getting a USB hard drive. USB hubs for the whole family. When I was in high school, me and another family I am really good friends with used to go buy whole sets of winter clothes. We'd get hats, jackets, boots and the whole bit. Then we split it all up into individual bags of outfits. We'd take the bags and go down the soup kitchen and give the outfits out to the people that were standing in the cold for their Christmas meal. That act has always put things in perspective for me.

The John Mellancamp song that nearly ruins my football watching....twice during every commercial break. I bet his royalty checks are fuggin huge since that songs gets played 50 times every sunday.

Holy shit. That's a cool youtube video.

Where did you locate this album? I can't seem to land a copy.

1. Andrew Bird -- Armchair Apocrypha 2. Josh Ritter -- Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter 3. (edit) The National -- Boxer (how the hell I forgot that one...) 4. Dr. Dog -- We All Belong 5. Band of Horses -- Cease to Begin

I just got the new Josh Ritter album. Damn is it good. It might be my favorite.

^^^^Do you have one of the Dano 12 strings? I was looking at those and wondering if they were a good alternative to one of those Neptune Jerry Jones models.

I think....but could be wrong....that it allows you to get either a single-coil or humbucker sound. Cause isn't a humbucker two single-coils wound in opposite? You push or pull some button and it turns into a single coil and vice versa -- making it in phase (single) and out (humbucker). I could be way off base.

I felt this way the first time I saw people holding their cell phones up at concerts so they all glow. I think that's kinda stupid. Lighters were way cooler.

I'd like to get in on this. I'm gonna be outta town until next week, so I'll check back then.

Yes. Let me also add: Old School. There is a movie place where I live that serves food and beers in the theatre while you watch the movie -- it is awesome. Anyway, having (somehow) never heard of Old School, my friend and I had ourselves a little smoke and staggered into the theatre. What a surprise. I have never laughed so hard as when they're dancing and the guy sings, "every now and then I get a little bit lonely when I see the fuckin' look in your eyes..."

Oh....if it were only that easy. See -- I could do that too, but I'd be cursing my Visa bill for the next two years.

Happy Bday!

Awesome. I sure hope the writers' strike ends before my favorite show falls victim.

I'm in too.

I would do as the other poster says -- drop a humbucker in the neck position of your strat ~$100 to $150. That would leave you $300 to $400 to spend on an amp. Get a little Fender Pro Junior or Blues Junior -- all tube and sound great. Plug that strat it, put it on that new humbucker pickup and roll your tone off -- a lot. Bang. Great Jazz tone.

Isn't that racketeering? or extortion? Pay us a fee for music or we're gonna pull your student loans? WTF!?! What a great idea -- totally fuck the educational system so the music/movie industry doesn't have to come up with a some what modern business plan. I'd like to know how big of a kickback Napster and Ruckus are giving. Making schools pay for their service? You gotta me kidding me. There are some SCARY tactics present in this country right now.

He sure has quite the writing style.

I once heard that every member of Queen wrote a number one hit. Any truth to this?

If anyone can locate those Oblique Strategies cards in the US, please give me a shout.

you need power to drive them. I would suggest just picking some computer speakers if that's all you're using them for. I got this pair for my dad and my sister for Xmas last year. They sound really damn good for the money.

Jesus. Is it ever.
