Have you tried a Traynor YCV20? I used to have one, and I regret letting it go. It had an amazing sound. Not sure if it's what you're after, but if you get a chance to try one out, I say go for it. I'd be tempted to trade my Deluxe Reverb for another one, but I've learned that trying to replace gear that I regret getting rid of usually doesn't work.

I'll check it out!

I have a Bruno Underground 30 amp that I love but I'm getting too old to cart it around to gigs. Plus I don't need anything that big for the gigs we play. Thinking about a Mesa Boogie or Fender Princeton. Really need something that can give me a good SRV type sound but still scream for rock stuff. Any suggestions?

Just heard it will be called "The empire strikes back"

Good stuff all around. Reminded me to bust out my Archers of loaf CD

Just getting into this band. I'm really impressed. Monomania and Fading Frontier are excellent albums...

 

Missed seeing them live here in Madison last month...Ugh...

Halcyon digest is still my fave. Saw them open for Spoon a few years ago. Would like to see them again.

Scuttle buttin - SRV

My daughter is an English major at University of Glagow (first year). Here is her reading list. Basically they read one of these per week. I'm trying to read along with her, fortunately I have read many already or I would never keep up:

 

[ ] Daniel Defoe- Robinson Crusoe

[ ] Mary Shelley- Frankenstein 1818

[ ] Charlotte Bronte- Jane Eyre

[ ] Charles Dickens- Great Expectations

[ ] Mark Twain- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

[ ] Virginia Woolf- Orlando

[ ] Thomas Pynchon- The Crying of Lot 49

[ ] Leila Aboulela- The Translator

Looking forward to hearing the rest. Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield.

 

Making a Murderer. Holy shit!

Binge watched that the last 2 days. Mind blowing. I was riveted.

I had always read that he left because he didn't want to tour so much anymore:

Sad

I thought the sound would be better on this. Kind of disappointed with the fidelity.

Anyone spend their Saturday evening watching the democratic debate?

Edit: oops Hahahaha never mind

 

I'm a wild man.  I was drinking whiskey, watching the debate, and doing a crossword puzzle at the same time.

Slater-Kinney terrible? That's crazy.

Thanks Moss!

 

tonight - Jason Bonham's Led Zep experience. actually looking forward to this.

I appreciate his passion but that tour just sounds cheesy.

Is it me or is the Democratic debate so much more substantive and nuanced than the Republican debates?

Yeah, after Dream Police I kind of lost interest. But damn I loved everything to that point. Those first 5 or 6 albums should justify them being in.

I wish they'd been better. I really like Surrender, I Want You, Dream Police...

My friend Todd saw them with me, and he'd seen them another time already, probably 4 years ago. He said that show sucked also. It's a shame.

Are you making these bands up?

I never get tired of cheap trick.

I just got the new box in the mail. I have to say Rhino or whoever really cheaped out - no liner notes, essays, or photos. There's just a thin paper sheet with the tracklist. They should have let Andrew Sandoval work on this boxset.

Well that's disappointing. Been hinting to the wife how much I want that box.

Great stuff and pictures as always. Parquet Courts is probably at the top of the bands I must see list. Love the interview with the guitar player where he was hanging with Malkmus. Malkmus said he wished he had written North Dakota and the guitarist said something like "Actually you kind of did".

it was a few weeks ago, but here's my review of the Parquet Courts show:

Exceeded every expectation I had and was brilliant in every way. Abrams is a cod damn hero.

Can't imagine the stress. If it makes less than a couple billion they will call it a fail.

Jason Isbell. Been a few years.

As someone with 2,404 days sober, I would just throw in the ideas that addiction is a progressive disease and addicts are brilliant liars and manipulators by necessity. I don't think it's fair to second guess a person's motive for entering a marriage and/or what that person knew or should have known about the horrendous potential of her future spouse's spiritual and mental illness(es).

Fair enough, I'm sympathetic. Certainly for the kids. I know nothing about the situation. My armchair based on nothing thought is that she was willing to overlook his obvious train wreck tendencies because he was a rich rock star. She married him in 2000, clearly well into his issues. But maybe he was in a clean phase. To then complain about the train wreck life seems a bit naive but it's sad for all of them.

 

Congrats on the 2400+ days! I'm starting to worry a bit about the amount I'm drinking lately...
