the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion
I watched CNN for an hour or so before I went to bed last night, and they interviewed numerous Republican congressmen during that hour, and every one of them had their prescribed talking point about making the McCarthy ouster a "both sides did this" issue, and then blathering for another full minute or so about "both sides" dysfunction, blah blah blah. "A few people from my party plus all the Democrats did this disgraceful thing." And I was kind of shocked at the number of times the host let their bullshit go uninterrupted and unchallenged, and let them go with a cordial "Thanks for being here!" Maybe that's the informal agreement for getting interviews? "If you ever interrupt our intellectually dishonest diatribes, we won't go on your network anymore."

Fuck Brett Yormark
If only there would have been some way to know he was a clown.

Am I the only one who didn't know Tesla's "Little Susie" was a cover?

Share Your Music (it probably sucks but that’s not why we do it)
Thanks, guys. I am a huge Baerwald fan as well. That song started out as acoustic guitar backed by a string quartet. But it wasn't sounding as cool as I had hoped, so we ended up bringing the strings back to add a bunch more layers mic'ed at a distance (sound of an intimate string quartet becomes sound of a huge orchestra), and instead of rock drum kit we used all orchestral percussion, including a massive bass drum and hand-held cymbals. Also tracked some flutes and oboes. The string score (which I didn't write) is still doing 99% of the heavy lifting in the arrangement. It was fun to work on. I have always loved the song.

Fuck Brett Yormark
Check out what the rest of the league looks like when the two revenue-generators play against one another... And keep in mind that last week, the Tech vs UH game drew 3% of the audience that the Texas game did.

- The Big 12 is fucking awful
So Tech vs UH got 3% of the viewership of Texas vs Kansas? That disparity is incredible.- The Big 12 is fucking awful
I hope Yormark gets a good, long gander at that. Next year will feature 13 weeks of those ho-hum matchups with regional (at best) interest. That's your future, asshole. Imagine generating half the fucking revenue for a league where the rest of the schools don't merit a worthwhile TV slot on their own, and then having that league's commissioner openly mock and root against you year after year... Someone should start a thread and call it "The Big 12 is fucking awful."- The Big 12 is fucking awful
That would have been a great retort 7 years ago (the last time Kansas State beat Texas). edit: I see a lot of others have pointed out the same thing.- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
So my old phaser was the Empress one. As phaser pedals go, it's extremely complex, with several modes, numerous switches and knobs. I bought it because I was writing a funk/disco record, and the Empress has some modes where it's more of an envelope filter than a phaser, so you can get some pretty cool quacking things from it. But I almost never used all that functionality because it was way too hard to see what you're doing when it's on the back row of a board. The Waylon phaser has some versatility, but it doesn't try to do all of those sweeping, quacking things. It lets you dial back the depth, so the phasing can be more subtle (which, for me = more useful). I shot it out against the Mobius. The Mobius sounds thicker but also seems to lose some of the dry signal's high-end sparkle. I don't own an MXR phaser anymore. In the past, I've had a couple different versions of the Phase90, and I'm pretty sure I'd pick the Waylon phaser over any of those (more versatile for sure).- Tupac
Didn’t see an old thread: https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/suspect-arrested-tupac-shakur-murder/index.html- The Guitar Pron Thread
Nice guitar. Apparently a solid color, maple neck, and maybe a pearloid pick guard (as per jj) - that’s my type.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Trust me, it’s not that I’m overpricing anything. I’m invariably below the “going” rate - sometimes way below - and I get that anyway.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Really? People don’t offer 30% of your asking price… you know, for their “praise band?”- Guitar Effect Pedalphile Thread
I found a dealer that had the Waylon phaser in stock. Just unboxed it and put it on the pedal board.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Honestly, 7 or 8 wins every year, an excuse (youth, difficult schedule, QB injury), and some small reason(s) for optimism is probably ideal. I hope they get every last minute of the Jimbo that they're paying for.- Everybody talk at once: the GOP Debate

Good God, what an embarrassment. Every single pause becomes a 20-second screaming match where not a single person is comprehensible.- Texas vs Baylor - 6:30pm on ABC [An XXX fucking 38-6 Texas]
If UT get's a home field share of tickets and the left-behind gets a section in the corner of the upper deck, they yeah, maybe. (edit: What Magnus said)- Bob Menendez might actually be going to prison this time
Andy Kim was the guy cleaning up the Capitol after Jan 6, right? I loved that photo so so much.- Texas vs Baylor - 6:30pm on ABC [An XXX fucking 38-6 Texas]
