  1. the Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive is quite nice(so i hear). especially with the Keelor mod. $80-100+

     

    Those seem really nice, but I don't think a lot of people prefer Tubescreamer-type pedals with AC-30s, which unfortunately rules out a lot of nice, cheap ODs (Digitech Bad Monkey, Boss SD1 both ~ $40, used Vox Valvetone $80-100, etc...)

  2. Album.

     

    sounds like the very first time is an octave lower, the other 3 sound the same to me

     

    edit: maybe not actually a whole octave lower. try this: play these chords as E-shape barre chords: G Am Bbm Bm but just finger picking the 1st and 3rd strings - that's the "normal" way to play it. Now try the same thing with the 2nd and 4th strings - does that sound like the first riff on the album? I'd do it, but I don't really care anymore :P

  3. isn't the larger issue here simply that a man who almost ended up being the leader of the 55th most literate nation on the planet should be a little more careful with his words?

     

    Of course that's true. And even if he hadn't it would have been a dumb joke from a guy who got the same grades as Bush in college and voted to authorize the war. And he really should just STFU. But the larger issue IMO is that many Republicans are still insisting that Kerry called the troops dumb when it is painfully obvious that he didn't.

  4. This thread is dumb.

     

    John, you open yourself to ridicule by coming out swinging, saying that people are spinning without knowing anything about them or where they're coming from. It lacks context like the Kerry soundbite, see?

     

    Gary, political threads are heated enough without insults. They add nothing to the board but bluster.

     

    Cool it.

     

    Given the context of the "joke" it was pretty obvious early yesterday that Kerry was referring to Bush, and then Kerry gave another press conference yesterday afternoon to explcitly explain this. Calibur's first post was sad spin. Maybe not his spin, but it was exactly the spin that Bush, Snow et al. were and still are using today. It's not entirely surprising to me that seing those comments repeated today could evoke a frustrated response. That doesn't John Smith a fucking asshole.

  5. How about the finger picked intro?

     

    I'm not sure if there's a particular way Tweedy does it when playing solo, but if there is I haven't learned it. Seems you could just play the chords as arpeggios to get something that sounds like the album.

     

    There's also the electric guitar bit on the E and the D chord in the intro. Over the E chords it's:

     

    e---7-7

    b---7-7b9

     

    same riff 2 frets down on the D chord

  6. I was just listening to this in the car today. It sounds like the riff changes subtley every time he plays it. The last notes of the riff sound different each time. Am I going crazy, or is this the case?

     

    on the album or on a solo acoustic version?

  7. Just because we had them at conception doesn't mean we want them now. During conception, their growth and differentiation is regulated. If you put them in the wrong environment (such as an adult body), controlling their growth is a real problem. And as the articles you posted pointed out, adult stem cells are not the same thing as embryonic ones, so the ones we have now are not the same ones that cause teratocarcinomas.

     

    I am supposedly a med student, not premed, and none of the biology classes I've had from high school through college covered teratocarcinomas or even very much on stem cells. The first lecture that covered them was about two months ago in med school, and the professor that gave the lecture actually thought that adult stem cells had more therapeutic potential than embryonic stem cells. And considering he also advocated therapeutic cloning, he wasn't just some "prolife whacko."

     

    I haven't heard too many people calling for simply injecting undifferentiated stem cells into people (except for those wackjobs in Barbados) for therapy. I think the idea is to differentiate them first.

     

    As for adult stem cells, their potential to differentiate into different lineages is very unclear at the moment. The early reports in mice which were so excitedly received at first turned out to be experimental artifact due to cell fusion, not transdifferentiation.

  8. 3. I think those X-Rays were Locke's. the tumor might explain why he couldnt walk and was in a wheelchair in the flashbacks. maybe the others are trying to figure out how he's walking now when he really shouldnt be. Just a thought.

     

    how would they get Locke's X-ray?

  9. awesome

     

    PS - if you want the chords to line up, you can use dashes instead of spaces like this

     

     

    -----D-------------------A-------------G

     

    e-----------------------------------------------------------

    B-----------------------------------------------------------

    G---2-----2---2---------2---------------0----0--------------

    D---2h4---4---2h4p2-0---2----5-4--2-----0h2--0------0-------

    A-----------------------0----0-0--0-------------0h2----0h2--

    E---------------------------------------3----3--3------3----

  10. "Please"?

     

    The version from Gumbo Pages doesn't sound right at all, and there is no history of this song ever being tabbed on VC.

     

    except for the riff that comes just before the "was i in your dreams" line, those chords are accurate. (I'm pretty positive since I just performed this last night)

     

    The riff is this:

     

    e---3--5-6-7-

    b------------

    g---4--5-6-7-

     

    you can also keep going up and play the C chord as

     

    e---8

    b----

    g-7s9

  11. Probably because Nels is far and away a more inventive guitarist, not to mention a technically more skilled. Jeff realizes this, and realizes that the music is better served by letting Nels take more solos.

     

    I thought that was understood :D

  12. On the songs where Tweedy straps an electric, he USUALLY takes the solo

     

    True. I guess the exceptions are going to be the new songs - Tweedy might write songs with an electric part for himself, but I don't see him taking those solos over Nels (a la Impossible Germany)

  13. I was not aware of that he was cleared of the charges, but the equation states ARREST not CONVICTION so my equation could still technically be correct.

     

    True, though that would be awfully arbitrary and punitive to the show to fire an actor who was arrested and later cleared.

     

    I'm still hoping he's just promoting something else.

  14. Sorry if this has been covered a zillion times. But I wrote up a pretty good tab and I'd like to post it, but I can't post it as is because the interface messes it up. I tried the CODE thing, but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

     

    THe code should work.... you have (code) and (/code) flanking your tab (except with square, not round brackets?)
