Really dumb thread
and thank God for it! Just what I need right now.

Kiss
I didn't know they'd recieved critical acclaim.

They always seemed like "punk" for people who didn't quite know what punk was.
I don't disagree with you, but neither do I give a rat's ass about the label of punk. The Clash are to punk as Wilco is to alt-country. If anything the fact that they can't be pigeon-holed is to their credit.

The Clash
Incorrect.

jeeze I wish i could. Unfortunately, I don't know either of these pickups. Fortunately, I've started a thread here: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?p=16479311#post16479311 Unfortunately, there are a lot of cork-sniffers on that sight. Fortunately, there some of them know what they're talking about. Good luck and let us hear it when you finally get your paws on it. Your patience has been astounding.

I saw Frank Zappa last night. Well, kind of. The last few things he did before he died was orchestral stuff, and the orchestra he did it with came to town and played it. It was in an old steel mill. The light show was outstanding. No booze on sight, but they were selling salads and quiche and overpriced upscale softdrinks. The music? Jawdropping from a technical point of view, but self-indulgent, emotionally barren and ultimately unengaging. That's pretty much how I feel about most of the Zappa I've heard.

Shocked to find a hand-pulled IPA locally. Shocked.

is our president a homosexual?
are ViaChicago members cave dwelling folk?

I bought something similar last year at an estate sale for $10. The organs fan has a speed dial that goes from "soft" to "loud." One of the reeds wasn't working on the thing so I had to take it apart, now all is good. I wish I found more cool stuff like that at garage/estate sale
was it difficult to fix? i'm not particularly gifted in that area. On one or two of the stops a couple of keys don't work.

my new toy came today thanks to the local version of ebay. it's and old electric reed organ. when you turn it on you can hear and feel the electric fan start up. it's not actually the one in the picture but one very similar. the knob on the front which controls the speed of the fan and (to a lesser degree) the volume. man, dos this thing sound good. people don't appreciate old stuff, so it only set me back about 25 dollars. it smells like the guy you don't want to sit next to on the bus, though.

Karen?
Do you remember the scene from monty python where he answers a question with a question and the knight flies off the bridge?

she's a lesbian now.
good job.
no, that was the second one:)

Whatever happened to that girl I lost my virginity to?
-
i don't disagree, other than the fact that i might replace "good-looking" "atractive" and "beautiful" with something like "striking." case in point Joe Cocker, Ian Anderson, Lyle Lovett, toothless Clash, what's her name you know the homely irish(?) woman who won the singing contest, Meat Loaf, Lemmy, Ric Ocasek, Shane MacGowan, etc...

sometimes i like to get out all my favorite records and just look at them.

yeah, but man, jerry looked, like really weird after those two tabs i dropped. i could totally see his beard growing. and phil's shirt was dancing.

i just popped in a cd of finnish surf music.

what i'm about to tell you is based on simple trial and error experience, and limited at that, so take it with a grain on salt. only two bit, really: 1. the best basic amplified tone that i got out of my accoustic was through a bass amplifier. 2. i hate chorus, but a touch with shallow depth at a slow speed ( so it doesn't sound "chorusy")might help it cut through the mix.
-
bummer! but when you finally hold it in your hands, none of this will matter. hope it happens sooner rather than later.

why are people here so pedantic?
Bands with critical acclaim/respect that don't deserve it.
