I make it a point not to reward nonsense with clicks, whether it's music, sports, movies, or politics. So thanks for cutting and pasting. Just to state more of the obvious: The name of the magazine is pretty much synonymous with "rock and roll." So it's just a no-win situation when they bend over backwards to be diverse and inclusive. It would be like "Ebony" or "Jet" magazines making their own list by sending out their survey to old white guys... who stack the deck with Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, and Metallica. You'd get an equally silly list. I'm open to hearing poll results from surveys, but this ought to be labeled as "2021 industry survey." For Rolling Stone to stick their name on it to get a few short-term clicks... I think it just stinks of "LOOK AT ME!" and illustrates their complete and total irrelevance to modern music.- Rick James Documentary
... and yes, the Chappelle stories and impersonation are addressed.- Rick James Documentary
The Rick James documentary on cable this month (?Showtime) is really good. They assembled quite a number of his family and former bandmates to participate, and their stories are entertaining (though maybe predictable). It's worth watching even if you're not a fan of his music. Definitely worth a DVR. (spoiler alert) There were rumors that he used illegal drugs.- Zee top five jobs in CFB according to Joel Klatt
Yeah, he's won me over. He was a guest on one of the weekly Longhorn podcasts (?"flagship"), and as always, he comes off as even-handed and fair when discussing the pros and cons of the Texas program ... which is really saying something, given the hysteria of "Texas destroyed the conference," and "It's not fair!" from all of our former and present league members (and yeah, I think 99% of that anti-Texas noise is bullshit).- [Game Thread] Longhorns @ Razorbacks in Fayettnam
I’m at a bar but reading lips pretty sure Sark said “run the fucking play.”- The Guitar Pron Thread
AUTF, that was super cool of you. I think I discovered that thread only days -- maybe hours -- after the last one had been claimed.- Oklahoma @ Tulane @ Oklahoma
So if I am understanding these announcers correctly, the word out of OU camp is that every player on defense has a chance to be "special," but they can't hold the line of scrimmage or get off blocks vs. Tulane? GTFO. If there's one thing I learned from preseason games vs rented victims, it's that struggling at the LOS is a bad omen for your season. Obviously, game is early, and I expect OU to roll.... but that does not look like the defense of a top-2 football team.- Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
Turns out it’s a “700,” so definitely worth fixing.- CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
It's a private business, right? Those employees didn't take any kind of oath. I find it 100% credible when the owner says in the email that she and her employees have "worked overtime, to exhaustion, unpaid and underpaid" to try to serve the public, while Owens was actively making their jobs and lives worse. They don't owe her shit. If conservatives have a problem with that, they should just imagine that Owens is gay and Suzanna Lee and company didn't feel like baking her a fucking cake.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I have an attenuator… a really nice one, but I guess I don’t love the sound of the amp enough to patch it in. I’m sort of lazy that way… I just want to sit down and start playing. It’s why I spent so much time getting a good pedalboard together… because I hate having a guitar hanging around my neck while I’m fucking with patch cables and 9-volts. Baseball caps and fender amps… I see guys all around me making them look good and sound good, but I just feel awkward and unnatural with either one.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I have a Super Reverb, and in order to get it to break up, it has to be so loud that you would never ever sit in the same room with it. Not coincidentally, it’s the amp I play the least. You can pull out a tube, which helps a little… but not nearly enough. I might try some of these other mods: http://fenderguru.com/amps/super-reverb/- How Fox News works
I have come to expect disingenuous arguments and constant low-level racism from Fox News... but wow. Just wow.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Yeah, I get that. I still think there's a price point for everything where you're better off buying vintage. 5K for a new microphone will get you something nice, but it will be worth 4K the day you unbox it and 3K a year or two later. As opposed to spending that on a vintage mic that is almost certain to go up... many of them appreciate substantially. But you're right that you're on-the-hook for repairs, which are far more likely than with something new. I would also be really interested to hear that guitar side-by-side with a couple 55-year old versions.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Is 5k enough to consider an actual 1960’s Hummingbird? That’s about what they run, says Reverb.- 17 year-olds, Dude.
Did they register for a nice set of shivs?- The Guitar Pron Thread
Would it upset anyone if I post one more Jetglo Rickenbacker?- The Guitar Pron Thread
I have a set of Telecaster pickups that I pulled off my Telemaster. They are stock wound (the run of guitars that mine came from had pickups and hardware that were all from the Fender custom shop). I replaced these with a set of underwound Fralins. PM me an offer if interested. I'll say yes.- Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
It's not nostalgic to me... It was basically given to me and I used it for years to power a pair of NS-10. Those speakers are now being powered by a Bryston that's not mine... so at some point, I'm either going to have to fix the Phase Linear or buy something else.- Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
I got an old phase linear power amp -- probably 1970's or 80's -- that just crapped out a couple months ago. Worth repairing? If so, who in Austin would you take it to?- What are you listening to right now?
Fantastic rock song. I love everything about it...- The Guitar Pron Thread
p.s. If I could figure out how multi-quote works, I wouldn't post three replies in a row like PawPaw.- The Guitar Pron Thread
I just looked up the Serus a couple days ago because I thought Rhett Shull's tone was great and I wondered what he was playing. To be fair, he'd probably sound great on all kinds of different rigs.- The Guitar Pron Thread
You better trademark that quickly.- The Guitar Pron Thread
Wow. I *really* like that color combo. To me, that color scheme screams "jetglo Rickenbacker," which I think is cool. I like guitars that don't seem to fit easily into a "country" or "rock" or "metal" or "punk" box... guitars that sort of straddle genres and are hard to put in a category. I think this is why I like the Telemasters so much. Anyway, that made me look up Rickenbacker pictures to see if my impression was correct. It's not exactly the Rickenbacker jetglo color template - the knobs and the metal pickup covers are a little different - but it's very close. Would it look as good with a maple neck? That's the question I'm asking myself. - Rolling Stone's Top 500 songs of all time
