  1. The guitar miced up sound is ass, though.
  2. Stupid deal of the hour at 7pm central until 8, Martin Special 000 for $699. Slightly tempted but I'm storing up for some photo purchases. But if the made it in a cutaway it would be more like 50/50. Somebody buy it for me. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190
  3. Fuck streaming. Making it the main home viewing thing was always a bad idea. It will continue to be until they advance tech enough and consolidate streaming networks much like cable/sat did. I'm not a fan of cable either, but I always laugh when streamers tell me about all these great old shows they are streaming that I watch for free with an old school antenna. Paying for free shit is for suckers. There aren't enough decent movies or shows to make the bullshit that is streaming worth it. I don't give a shit about any of it. I don't feel like I'm missing anything except for a lot of headaches and extra bills for things that can be a bitch to cancel. Then when you do it to live sports, that's a whole other level of bullshit. It is fail.
  4. Stupid Deal of the HOUR today, each hour a new deal at musiciansfriend. They no longer seem to show the past deals, though, so you have to check. One of the Guitar Center Daily Picks is this Blackstar Fly 3 Acoustic for $40. I didn't even realize the there was an acoustic version. Hard to imagine it would sound that good through 3-inch speakers, but the Fly 3 regular one is pretty dang cool as a desk top or by the chair amp. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Blackstar/Fly-3W-Acoustic-3W-1x3-Acoustic-Guitar-Combo-Amplifier-Blonde-and-Tan-1500000320915.gc
  5. This is the correct answer. There has never been a really satisfying Earp/OK Corral related movie. The closest was Hour Of The Gun. Second closest was Star Trek original series Spectre Of The Gun, which would be the best in a landslide, but technically it's not really about the same characters...and it wasn't a movie. I mean...ain't nobody can top this classic scene.
  6. Nice effort by Bradford overcoming a tough start. Sborz didn't look completely worthless. Barlow could give the bullpen a boost if he can avoid the slump and pitch like he did before the second half of last season. Tough almost-comeback loss. But some decent signs for the pitching staff.
  7. I miss pretty much any era I lived it that wasn't in the 2020s.
  8. Or play a gig with a nice Martin or something, swap it without people knowing and smash it on stage. Let it go out in a blaze of glory.
  9. Ain't got nothing to lose by trying. Glue it and clamp it up for a while and see what happens. If nothing else you have a cool guitar shaped birdhouse or maybe a cornhole practice target hole.
  10. Nice cuckoo! They are usually really tough to photograph out in the open.
  11. We almost got LePewed again. Hold on for one more inning!
  12. LePew warming up. Fixin' to get tight.
  13. Hopefully Perez will bounce back after a couple of not so great outings.
  14. Sandy retired three out of five batters faced last night in the ninth against Atlanta. That should pretty much put him at the top of the Rangers relief pitching corps.
  15. Well, shit. Now I'm waiting to hear Leiter has lupus or some shit.

    I don't think he's all that underrated. He gets some pretty serious props for being a major dude. He just didn't have time to release that many songs in the short time he was in the limelight. It's a lot of the others that get overrated because they've been around so long, pumping their old hits over the decades.
  17. I've been thinking about finding a print on demand site to sell photo prints of my birds and nature photos, where I don't have to do anything but upload images. But looking around at the options is tireless. They are either a pain in the ass or you get virtually no profit out of your cut. Do you know any that might be a good option for me?
  18. I went to a Raiders-Cowboys game there in the 90s. It was a total dump then. But the worst part was being in line to enter the stadium wondering if somebody was going to get stabbed or something. Rough crowd, man. They actually had a promotion that week to trade in guns for tickets.
  19. A recent one, maybe the greatest of 2022.
  20. Musiciansfriend stupid deal of the day, Hercules guitar rack for $65. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190 I got one of these for $50 a few years ago and still don't have it set up somewhere with guitars on it.
  21. Perfect vintage axe for Tom Bukovac, though. I was on it if my name were Larry. Pickguard is probably worth 50Gs.
  22. I tend to be equally uncomfortable and incompetent with or without a pick in either case.
  23. GC Daily Pick for somebody who needs some 10-46 strings. https://www.guitarcenter.com/DAddario/EXL110-Nickel-Light-Electric-Guitar-Strings-9-Sets-1500000394683.gc
