  1. And fuck. Held these tickets nearly 3 years. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rage-against-machine-cancels-entire-041203434.html
  2. Speaking of punks, down the street from me is one of the coolest things in local music that I dont take nearly enough advantage of. We have this coop, non-profit record store that is mostly punk, but there's all kinds of records there. Its kind of the local punk HQ though. The door on the left is sometines open, and when it is you wanna walk through it. It leads to the backyard where you'll find a bunch of kids in their punk uniforms drinking cans of beer from 12 packs they bought at the 7-11 next door. Mostly a bunch of misfits. Fat kids, dorky kids, socially awkward kids, etc. Im not saying that in a disparaging way. Always friendly and welcoming. I only know a handful of them, the ones that come in the bar. The real treat is that, from there, you can enter the grimy, low ceiling basement where they put on regular free punk shows. Many of times I've just been walking past, heard live music drifting through the street and ran back there to catch a random show. Sometimes even touring bands passing through. The store itself is a converted house, there used to be random shows in what had been the kitchen, but a few years ago they blew that put for more record space. I dont take too many pictures there because the key to being accepted as an old guy in those crowds is to not be creepy, and an old guy taking a bunch of photos is kinda creepy. I will try to get one of the bands because I try to get a picture of every band I see, but the ceiling is so low its hard to get a decent pic in there. /csb

  4. Coming up through the 80s, thats was my initial reaction and why I was very gracious about it in the moment. But with the current generation of punks, it's very uncharacteristic. They are really like the sweetest kids ever. In fact, this one kind trans kid came and handed me a fresh beer shortly after, commenting that I'd lost most of mine during the fall.
  5. This weekend was our annual free concert weekend in Golden Gate Park, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. On Friday i saw Asleep at the Wheel and Charlie Crockett. Both were fantstic. Saturday I arrived late and saw a horrible sounding Elvis Costello show. Then Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew of Talking Heads put on an incredible performance of the Remain in Light album. I skipped the festival Sunday and wound up at an outdoor punk show where some kid came flying out of the mosh pit and took me out hard. Completely blindsided by the fucker. Capped of the weekend with a Bluegrass set at one of my local spots.

  7. I recommend the book "Twenty Thousand Roads". Pretty fascinating.
  8. I went down that rabbit hole hard a few years ago. Even read the biography. When you get full of Angel, you'll get into Flying Burrito Brothers Gilded Palace of Sin, Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo, and finally The International Submarine Band. Quite a treasure of work he pissed away.
  9. Fuck cancer. I love his playing on Grievous Angel. "Pick it for me, James!"

  11. That was similar to my experience seeing Tedesci/Trucks a few years ago. I thought he was a great slide player, but a little formulaic and I was fairly bored with it by the end of the set. The mix was not aweful, but uninspiring to say the least. That said, a close friend saw the same show in the same room the following night and said he doubted my musical taste with that take. All I can think is either he was sitting in an area with better acoustics or they tweaked the mix the 2nd night.
  12. I made this one way harder than it needed to be. Wordle 469 6/6* [emoji834]🟨[emoji834][emoji834]🟩 🟨[emoji834][emoji834]🟨🟩 [emoji834]🟨🟩[emoji834]🟩 🟩[emoji834]🟩[emoji834]🟩 🟩[emoji834]🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. Looks like one poster decided to come and shit all over the best thread on the board by doing exactly the opposite of what makes it the best thread on the board. Go away, dude. You can like what you like without shitting on what another guy likes.
  14. 3rd guess always almost my 2nd. Wordle 468 3/6* 🟩[emoji834][emoji834]🟨[emoji834] 🟩🟩🟩[emoji834][emoji834] 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. If thats you're beef, I can tell from a mile away that a 4 way switch is never at a true 90* angle to the body when its in either of its 2 center positions. Just looks wrong to see it some where between straight up and all the way forward. At least with a couple extra screws I can worry less about my sweat getting inside the electronics.
  16. The issue is, on mine anyway, the both series is all the way forward. So if I want to play the neck pickup only, which is glorious in a Tele if you have a decent pickup there, you have to carefully click 3 forward or go full forward then click one back. Inwant to just flip it forward and dig in. Having the switch in the volume knob, you get the regular 3 way switch and the center position is series or parallel based on the vol knob switch. Just a cleaner design imo. As the 5 hole pickguard purist, im kinda shocked that you're a 4 position switch proponent. I would think that would be heresy.
  17. I put the 4 way switch on the partscaster w the bigsby i keep in Texas. I dont care for it. I dont really use the added position and it makes it more complicated finding the positions I do use on the fly. Front, middle, back. Done. Thats the way it should be. My American Deluxe has the pushbutton in the Volume knob Celery mentioned. Much better. At least its out of the way.

  23. I'm opposite, its easier to play guitar w a pick and bass with fingers
  24. I only care for for signature picks if they've been properly relic'd.
  25. I go back and forth. Especially on acoustic. I'll strum with tharmt soft edge, then rotate to the pointing end when I want to pick out some notes.
