  1. Out of a normal vacuum cleaner? Not a problem. Out of this high dollar Natzi machine? I ain't touching it. You get near it with a screw driver, springs and filters start popping out at 13 different angles. Same principal as working on cars. 67 Chevy pickup? No problem. 2024 automobile? No fucking way.
  2. Having a new dishwasher installed. Wife tells them she wants to vacuum the space before they put the new one in. (Never mind we are paying THEM to install this and they have their own garage vacuum sitting in the kitchen). After they leave, she tells me...."something is stuck in the vacuum cleaner...it isn't working". Me: Do you already put the garage vacuum back in the garage or basement? Her: No. I used the upright. Me: You used that Miele vacuum cleaner to suck up nails, wood chunks, wire pieces? Her: Yes. What's wrong with that. So....looks like it's back to the shop for the Natzi vacuum cleaner. I imagine that repair bill will be about the same as the dishwasher was. On the plus side, it's just down the street from the Taqueria so I plan to spend an afternoon with the bartender there. See if I can drink them out of Tecates again.
  3. I figure Celine Dion will get in next year, if she in already.
  4. Test drove this Epi 'mandobird' again last night. At a local Music Go Round so going to wait and see if they drop the price. Cool sound, especially when run through a chorus, other modulations, but not sure I want to pay the $550 they are currently asking. Fun to play though and just a cool looking instrument. I'm trying to get the tone of Buddy Miller's 'mandocaster' at the 2:20 mark of this song. I have an Ovation mandolin with piezo pickups but it just sounds like a mic'ed up mandolin.
  5. I really wish this project with her and Oberst had kept up the steam I thought it would. This is such a great song.
  6. Dammit. She is KIND OF in the Whitney Rose....... I LOVE me some Whitney Rose.
  7. My probably with the One Spot daisy chain is it picks up way too much electrical interference in my basement. At our practice space and most other places, it did fine.
  8. The Cloudburst is fun to play. I have a Hall of Fame reverb for basic stuff, but wanted some of the more spacey sounds and it fits the bill. When I added it, I switched to a CIOKS DC10 and it seems to play nice with everyone. And it's only $200.

    Bob Seger

    Still the same is such a great song. (Shaun Murphy, BGV.....I truly am obsessed with background vocalists.....stalker level)
  10. I can't quit listening this from her newest album. Not a huge fan of anything else on the album, but I LOVE this one. She is king of the Whitney Rose, Nikki Lane arena to me, which is a good thing. And I just found this. (and one of my favorite posts on this board's predecessor.
  11. Seeing Charley in a live setting is what turned me on to him. Comments from the folks on either side of me: "This dude is a live wire" and "He is a fucking minstrel". Most of his recordings don't seem to catch his magic. Last time I saw him, he was opening for Turnpike. The group next to us drove from Macon to Atlanta to see him...not Turnpike....then they were going back to Macon the next night to catch him as a headliner.
  12. Hot Russian chick said her husband wouldn't part with it. He was there, hence no pictures.
  13. Spotted in Porto Santo Stefano jewelry shop.
  14. I respectfully disagree.
  15. Mine does all the time. Problem is, she is wrong about 92.3% of the time. She once told me to do south, then processed to tell me to turn right, (north). Rather than argue, I said, "OK. We will do it your way but when we get to Tennessee, I'm turning around." Only ended up going about 2 miles before she realized it....and get this....ADMITTED it.
  16. Nice grab @Foggy Notion Made in Tel Aviv and they have a guitar called "Cutaway Kikbuckers" ?
  17. And strippers. You left out strippers
  18. As mentioned above, I still listen to this album multiple times a year. But last night, I sat down and really listened to it for the first time in a long time. The entire album is a spiritual ride. This song will be sung at my funeral. What an uplifting message. And it includes one of my favorite lines of all time: "I've got rare '61 Beatles I got a film of my dreams"
  19. If/when my wife ends up the victim of a freak accident, resulting in her untimely demise, this will be the root cause.
  20. Wallinger seemed to have a major impact on the Waterboys overall sound, but to me, they were still a Mike Scott band. Not that that is a bad thing. I just liked the changes that Wallinger brought into the Waterboys and was curious what he would be once he got out from under Scott. Scott still apparently wrote most of the music, but Wallinger's presence really seemed to change the band.
  21. Waterboys.....Damn, Mike Scott could write a song....
