  1. Thanks, still just a private track as I finalize the mix, but I'll be pushing it out to all the things eventually. I appreciate the ears. Thanks, appreciate the feedback. In my mind, I had David Lynch "Lost Highway" as the vibe/mood I was aiming for with the composition and instrumentation. Desert, isolation, surreality, mental discord, etc... I'll look at dialing back some of the things you call out in the chorus a little. I've been most worried trying to get the outro to work with all the things that are going on there competing for frequency space. Glad to hear from both of you that that is in a good spot. Btw, It has occurred to me that a hot bridge P90 would have been the perfect sound for the outro solo.
  2. A new tune I'm finishing the mix on about a night spent driving through the Arizona desert and thinking way too much. Any mix feedback appreciated, especially the outro that gets pretty busy.
  3. You cannot tell me that Parker Livingston is not high as a kite in this video. Which is all right by me, because I'm high as a kite and he can ball... for a white guy. Know what I mean?
  4. Someone needs to make Sark and the staff run 120 gassers if they don't make the team run 10 gassers per penalty in this week's game.
  5. I’ve liked Fralins better than stock Gibson P90s. I wasn’t impressed with Lollars. Just my opinion.
  6. I feel pretty confident we are going to win this game unless the SJSU coach employs the Caucasian nickel defense in the 2nd half. 5 white walk on dbs that will confuse Arch as to where he should throw the ball.
  7. Arch QB rating Targeting white players: +578357.0 Targeting black players: -58338.0
  8. I would like to go on record saying that Ewers would have self sacked for a 47735 yard loss on that last play.
  9. Hey, we may not be good enough to hang with SJSU, but at least Tre Wisner has 488337883 lbs of bling. #winning.
  10. Not much to tell, really. As a dude in his mid-50s, I find it easy to overplay if I don't warm up and gradually get into a session or gig. I sit for a living, so posture is generally an issue, and put a 10lbs weight around my neck pulling me forward and it doesn't take long before I'm feeling it in my lower back. So I have a little stretching routing I do before any session. Mostly upper body stretches (hand, arm, neck, back), and some warm up finger/picking exercises I do to get things going. I'll avoid the tunes that really require an effort until later in a set. I have back stretches I do nightly for the lower back. I find all this helps a good bit to avoid feeling like I've "overplayed." Arm fatigue, tingling, pain. If I ever feel any of that, I'll let my arm rest a week and it goes away. I don't gig a lot, 4-6 times between Memorial Day and Labor Day , so it's not a big thing to deal with the physical limitations in that context. Most of my playing is writing/recording, and that's where I'm finding myself impacted if I don't adhere to these routines.
  11. Proper warm up and posture is pretty fucking important, more so as you get old and decrepit like me.
  12. They are getting more and more Whiggish by the day.
  13. Steven Hawking has really let himself go.
  14. Big keyword there is "trying". It is a very badass track, and was a lot of fun to be a part of. Thanks!
  15. I really appreciate being involved, it was a very inspiring piece of music to have as a canvas.
  16. Not just them, but you (the proverbial you), too. No one of any ideological leaning is exempt, unless you make the conscious decision to ignore the shit you can't verify or do anything about and focus on your proximal life and the things you can directly affect. If people of any ideologically zealous position show up on my property looking for trouble, they'll find it. Until then, hell, let's have a look at Tay-tay's bridal registry.
  17. An angry, afraid and stupid populace is a manipulable populace.
  18. Why the fuck are we not talking about a President from one political party deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and usurp the lawful authority of duly elected local governance and law enforcement? Fuck all this Epstein pedo shit. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, but there is no way we'll ever know definitively one way or the other. But what we do know, definitively, is that the President from one political party is deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and and usurp the lawful authority of the duly elected local governance and law enforcement. The only people more manipulatable than Trump are all the people who abhor who he is and everything he stands for.
  19. Best prediction, imo. I don't see SJSU scoring a touchdown. We are a work in progress on offense, and not super explosive, so I think we will somewhat methodically kick the shit out of them. However, I am a shitty prognosticator, so... This is probably more correct. Arch pulled for a walk-on at halftime.
  20. Don't accept a drink from you under any circumstances?
  21. *pulls pin and counts to 3* So what are Arch’s chances to still win the Heisman? *runs for cover*
  22. Through 3 quarters that was an offensive game plan you use against Rice the week before the OU game. It couldn't have been more vanilla. The only thing daring (stupid?) was going for it every 4th down. After we went down two touchdowns, Sark started opening it up, we moved the ball and Arch looked better if not exactly good. I am not excusing Arch, he was objectively shitty, but we might win that game if Sark had made those changes at halftime, or actually went into the game trying to be aggressive on offense. I mean, for as ugly as it looked on offense, we lost by 1 score. I still think this outcome might be the best case scenario for this team. They were picked to win it all, Arch was going to win the Heisman and be drafted #1. There was no where to go but down with those expectations. Hell, there weren't those expectations for Texas the year VY won it all. USC had those expectations on them with all the senior talent and multi-year starters at key positions like QB -- and they didn't live up to them, either. There was no way this Texas team was going to run the table with Arch playing at a Heisman level every game as basically a sophomore with 2 starts against mediocre teams. Now no one is going to put microphones in the player's faces asking them how they feel about being #1, or the Heisman favorite, yada yada. All that shit detracts from the development this young team needs to go through to be something close to its potential. I think we've seen Arch's worst game, and I think we'll wind up being very, very good by the end of the year.
