My last album just got another fantastic review: http://chicagoindiemusiclive.blogspot.com/2013/08/album-review-hop-on-pop.html It's nice to hear nice things. But a comparison to "A Fairytale of New York"?!? Wow.

Meaning of life? Everyone knows... 42

Fame? You play anything from that Dan Penn Fame collection?

Sorry that I missed this. Is there a podcast of it anywhere? You got a playlist to post? I would love to see what you played.

Great, great album. (I learned guitar to Television's Marquee Moon and Santana's Abraxas.)

Thing is, by punishing Fender in that way, I would also be punishing the local little guitar shop to whom I really want to give my business. Also, the model that I want (not just any Tele, but it HAS to be the '69 Thinlline reissue) does not appear to be available in-stock in the color that I want. Anywhere. So I kinda have to wait to get what I want, otherwise I'm getting a guitar just to get a guitar. Don't have the money to throw away on that. That's why I passed on the sweet Jaguar I mentioned earlier in the thread. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait. Unless something irresistible comes in

So Fender... your customer service SUCKS! Fender promised delivery by June. It got pushed back to the first week in August. NOW, mid-OCTOBER!!! It's enough to turn a guy into a Gibson man! Get your production line and your butts in gear! Called them out on their Facebook page and in Twitter, trying to shame them into getting their butts in gear. They told me to write their Customer Relations department. This is the (verbatim) email that I sent them:

Okay, so that was very cool! Reminds me a bit of Os Mutantes in the playfulness of it all. And it's a lot better than anything that I've heard on this compilation that I am listening to right now (JAG ÄR EN LITEN POJK). Interest re-piqued.

Always pay attention to your daily selections, Richard. They never fail to intrigue me. This one, in particular (after looking it up at AllMusic and Amazon) sounds really freaking cool. Think I'm gonna see if it's on Spotify and check it out today. Thank YOU! EDIT: Album not on Spotify.
