  1. stock answering machine messages.
  2. The "The Paul" I have played was all brown, bare wood and it had four knobs and a switch. This one didn't have any bad wood blems either. Not sounding like I'm disagreeing, this was just my experience with the only The Paul I've played.
  3. I always think about someone running down a big city street with enormous sky scrapers on either side, lost or trying to get away.
  4. Most of YHF took me a long time to get into. I tend to like the other albums as much as I did the first time I heard them - a lot.

    I can't get enough of the twangy guitar in the beginning of "I Must Be High." I just love it. Someone on this board menitioned a while back that it was such a "fun" album to listen to with "good old rock n'roll songs about lost love, etc." or something to that effect. Anyway, I thought that was a good description. I'm "pissed that I missed" it when it first came out.
  6. One of my good friends has a 2003 Les Paul Studio and I agree with the frets being really high and narrow. Another friend has a 1973 The Paul and it is one of the best guitars I have ever played. I think if you look around on ebay you can get a 59 or 60 reissue LP for $1100 or so. One other friend got a honeyburst 60 reissue with upgraded DiMarzio pickups in that price range, and it's a screamer.
  7. My ATM number got stolen by some ass in your Windy City, so I will sit home with my frozen bank account and pretend to drink beer that I have no way of buying...
  8. Why wouldn't we want to make advances in science and technology that could possibly provide enormous benefits to the human race? Oh, the moral right thinks it is wrong...really smart. What a moron. Way to legislate morality.
  9. Would 6/8 be counted as 1 + 2 + 3 +, 1 + 2 + 3 +....? Time sigs were never my strong point...or dancing.
  10. Pretty cool, I'm liking it more and more.
  11. I initially read the "original" post on ryanadams.org a couple days before all the responses came out and it was posted on this board, but wasn't sure if it was RA or someone impersonating him. Thus, I did not take it as serious...so when I read it on here my interest began to grow. I think it's great if he has enough material to release three (more) albums. I hope it's all fucking awesome. Along with Wilco, Ryan Adams is one of my favorite performers/musicians. I wasn't trying to bash his abilities to write and release records, it was just my feeling/concern that I perhaps wouldn't like all o

  13. There is a woman whom I work with that has a "meow" ringtone that sounds exactly like a real cat. Last time it went off during a meeting and literally everyone around the table looked under the table or around for a cat. Quite annoying, but funny as well.
  14. When a lane of traffic has been closed the previous day and the merge signs are still up the next day, despite no construction being done and the lane being open.
  15. Yes. I have all of Ryan Adams' albums and have listened to them. IMO, and it's only that, I really liked Cold Roses considerably more than JCN or 29. I understand that every album is different and they shouldn't all sound the same, I just didn't enjoy JCN and 29 that much. I guess I should have phrased my post differently to not suggest that I thought the material was of less quality, just that I didn't care as much for RA's last two albums. I am however giving JCN a couple plays through at the the office today, just to see.. edit: I assumed you meant the last three albums he released and
  16. IMO Mr Adams should whittle down the large number of songs he as created and simply put out one extraordinary album. Unless, of course, all of the new songs are great. But usually it seems when artists release multiple albums in a year there are some songs that didn't need to make the cut. Just my $.02

    Typing with bandaids on your fingers again? ...and yes, we do have this thread every month.

  19. It might be a cool idea if a "gear for sale" section of VC was made...just a thought.
  20. :rofl of course, this happened in the state I live in...I'm surprised we don't see more dog-driving stories out of Ogden.
