I hope that Wilco just records every concert like a college football team and spends hours on the tour bus going over strategic plays. "Okay Glenn, now I really like the smile here, but if you could do that thing where you twirl the drumsticks at 2:14, I really do think we'd be able to hit this to our maximum potential." Nels is there, just icing his hand, and Pat is sitting with a towel over his shoulders, staring, empty at the floor.

I just can't get behind this headstock. I love the body shape, but the fanned out thing on the top is just not for me at all. Personally, I thought that guitar-of-the-month a few months ago, the goldtop Les Paul with the Florentine cutaway and floral pickguard is one of the most beautiful instruments they've ever made. A friend of mine bought one, and I can assure you, they are absolutely not slouching in the quality department. I've already made sure I've been written into his will.

That looks like a joke. Seriously. It looks like an April Fool's prank. If I ever saw someone playing one of those things, I'd do my best to do something terrible to them. That's how bad it is; you can tell how dumb someone is just by them playing it. Actually, maybe that's the point. This guitar makes it easier to identify assholes from a distance.

That is a theory I've tested and proven a number of times. Anyone who doesn't at least like a couple tunes is bonafide soulless. I don't know if I speak for everyone on this board, but I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that something about the personality of someone who absolutely loves this band wouldn't necessarily mesh with one who dislikes it, aside from the really obvious disagreements. There's a certain type of person who listens to music a certain way, and then there are people who don't. Sure, it's possible to get along with that second group of people, I guess, but it's a)

You should have slammed their heads together and said "See, you are what's wrong with the world. Because I have different musical tastes than you, you assumed something about my personality, instead of concentrating on the more important issue, of why you need to change." Then you scream something witty and tip over the nearest bookshelf / desk / car on top of them, set a small fire and work on your cover story.

Send him emoticons. Bitches love a smiley face. They all like 'Damn, lookkit him, winky at me ova here.'

"Filled with personal details, etc." Creepfest.

Baraka?

I just bought an SG. I don't think I've ever been happier with a guitar in my life. I feel like I was born with this thing in my hands and it was ripped away from me, only to be returned now. I don't understand any of the criticisms I've ever heard about these guys. It's like a Telecaster and a Les Paul got together, had a baby, and then Satan came in and was like "YOU WILL BELONG TO ME" and the SG was like "NO SATAN" and they had a fistfight on the banks of a lava river and Satan tried to do this backflip and the SG kicked him in the junk, and Satan fell into the lava, but because the SG

I was going to change mine pretty soon actually, but yeah, I laughed a little when I saw 'em line up.

Add another vote for 'creepy.' I think it'd be less so if not for the "OVER 25 PAGES OF GREAT AND IN SOME CASES PERSONAL INFORMATION" weirdness.

SKULLS

I'm picking up mine tomorrow with a set of Gibson 57' classics installed. Had a SD Jazz in the neck and a Pearly Gates in the bridge-- the jazz was alright, but the 'gates was way, way too tinny and hot for the bridge. I'd read that many ES-335's came with Dirty Fingers in the bridge, so I figured something a little higher output would put me where I wanted to be. I was wrong. This is before I knew anything about pickups though. I'd like to think I've come a bit further since then. I'll let you know how it sounds by Thursday.

I won't lie, I didn't totally research completely before posting. I regret nothing.

Maybe Neil just doesn't want to go to Chicago. That might have something to do with it.

That's neat, they didn't have it when I saw them. I'm usually super careful with it because I'm afraid I'm going to wear it out. I need a beater I can take places without worrying about how badly I'm gonna mess it up.

Hell is Chrome (under Hell), Muzzle of Bees (under Muzzle), I'm A Wheel, Company (under Pure Bug Beauty) all appear in Adult Head, with some differences. There is also a piece called "Unlikely Japan." Adult Head is one of my favorite stand alone collections, and I'd consider myself a fairly big poetry fan. As for reading lyric books, I tend to only do that when I've got a gatefold in front of me, and having been dealing with a broken cartridge for almost a year now, I'm gonna need some time to get back to you.

Hey guys, It's much, much, better. Still a bit of a pop, but I think it's the cheap ass amp and my seriously atrophied playing ability. Thanks again, a bajillion.

Not to suck the wind out of everyone's sails, but is there any documented reason to think this may actually happen?

Haha.

I love that you dug up this thread from two months ago to ask that question. I'm not being factitious, honestly. God bless the search function.

That actually helps me out perfectly. I'll give it a try over the next couple days and let you know. Thanks!

Hey Everyone, My Electro 2 is one of my most prized possessions, but I can't seem to get the hang of the organ. More specifically, every time I hit a note, there's a very percussive 'click,' and it's infuriating. Instead of those smooth swell-like starts I get a hard 'tick' noise and it's infuriating. I've tried every setting on the thing, so much so that I think that it might be the amp (which, for reference, is crap.) Anyone else have this problem? More importantly, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the bitch? Cheers!

Oh man, oh man, I've gotta get on the presale list for this.

Woah.
