  1. Dammit. How do I imbed those pics?
  2. NGD 1969 Fender Telecaster refinished in Blonde I'll get some more pics when I can. This is a player's guitar - refinished with non-original electronics. A lovely woman from San Angelo bought this for her husband in 1969. He played it honky tonks all over Texas, making modifications as he went along, including the refinish about 10 years ago. He passed away a couple years ago. She sold it to me today.
  3. It's titled "Mind Control". The tldr is don't believe social media, everybody loves Ye. He's the greatest artist on the planet, he's channeling Fela, Marley and Tupac. And he wants to buy his publishing rights from Sony, but Sony won't sell them.
  4. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1yoKMVydwkwGQ This is a link to a live Periscope that Ye just posted. He's back on social media apparently.
  5. This is correct. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/08/17/no-one-third-of-african-americans-dont-support-trump-not-even-close/ Trump is at 10-15% in the Gallup and Ipsos/Reuters polls. The Civiqs poll has had him at single digits throughout his presidency. Edit: Just read up the page. I believe this is a link to the article Brisket was quoting.
  6. We got here about 15 minutes ago. Caught the last three songs by Van Etten. Would have liked to have seen this place during the day but it's too cold for my old ass to be out here for that long. This mist could turn into snow if it drops a couple degrees.
  7. The forecast has given me second thoughts about taking Bus to Show. Not sure if I want to get there early and sit through SVE in the cold. On the other hand, if we take Uber we might be waiting for a while after the show to catch an Uber back to town. Might just bite the bullet and book BTS to get the whole RR tailgating experience despite the cold.
  8. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-police/2018/10/02/everything-city-dallas-wont-tell-death-botham-jean "Other records that police and prosecutors refuse to release include: Guyger's personnel file, records related to her shooting of a man she said took her Taser during a struggle in 2017, Guyger's clock-in and clock-out times the day of the shooting, Guyger's annual salary, previous administrative leave with the department, other 911 calls about the shooting, Guyger's work schedule, body camera and dash camera videos, and any off-duty jobs she was approved to work."
  9. Quick trip up to Dallas tomorrow night for Death Cab for Cutie at the Bomb Factory and going to see the National at Red Rocks on October 9. Might mix some ACL fest in there too.
  10. For the past 17 years, I worked at a job where it was against the ethics policy to contribute to a campaign or to publicly support a candidate. Yesterday was my last day. I just made my first contribution this morning.
  11. Just curious, how are you getting to the show? After reading reviews, I'm still not totally sold on taking Bus to Show. We're sitting a bit farther back than you guys on row 52. Didn't get our tickets right when they went on sale. It was a spur of the moment decision at 2 am.
  12. Yeah i was looking at Bus to Show too. They pick up at several places in town. We're gonna book our Airbnb today and try to get a place kinda close to one of the pickup locations.
  13. My GF and I are going to this show too. It'll be our first time at Red Rocks. Flying in the morning of the show and coming back the next evening. Probably gonna stay in Denver and take an Uber or a shuttle to the show.
  14. I dig Secret Machines a whole lot. If you're into big-hitting Bonham-style drummers, Josh Garza is one of the best out there. Garza was previously in a band from DFW called Comet that put out a really good album "Chandelier Musings" that was produced by David Baker from Mercury Rev. Like Secret Machines, Comet had some buzz but never broke it big.
  15. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/09/10/dallas-officer-who-shot-man-claims-she-didnt-know-she-was-wrong-apartment-until-calling/ There's a link to the video about halfway in this article.
  16. One time me and three friends dropped acid and drove around in my dad’s car. He has one of those talking cars, we’re tripping, and the car goes, “The door is ajar.” We pulled over and thought about that for 12 hours. “How can a door be a jar?” … “Why would they put a jar on a car?” … “Oh man, the freeway’s melting!” … “Put it in the jar."
  17. Looks like she has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. Booked at Kaufman County Jail. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2018/09/09/dallas-officer-amber-guyger-arrested-fatally-shooting-botham-jean-apartment
  18. Dallas Morning News names the police officer, Amber Guyger. DPD says she moved into the complex a month ago and didnt know the victim. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-police/2018/09/08/dallas-officer-shot-man-apartment-involved-2017-shooting-suspect
  19. Because I'm waiting to see it posted from a credible source instead of Internet sleuths like jim bob, Supastar J. Kwik!, BeholdAluminati and Priestess Moonfire. Those are some of the actual Twitter accounts that have posted her name and pics. If you search Twitter for #BothamJean, you'll see them.
  20. The officer's name and photo have been circulating on Twitter for the past few hours. She is not the woman next to the victim in the photo above. I haven't seen it reported by any real credible source yet, but her info is out there.
  21. Nah man, I'm still here. I woke up this morning. I hope to do it again tomorrow.
  22. I haven't been on here much since the first days of surly, but started lurking and catching up on this thread recently. That guitar is stunning, noharleyyet.
