Can you do cross platform with Xbox One? If so, we'll grift.

When Africa comes on, you stand at attention and put your hand over your heart.

I know they used to do Station Man early on. That's some Kiln House shit.

I would just bring 7.

According to Kiszka here (@28:42), there were only 25 Astoria Custom CME's made. He got his 3 from the CEO of Chicago Music Exchange directly, so ima go with that number because it sounds cooler. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the kid has his mic'd better than the guy who demo'd it for CME in that previous video. The speaker is mounted offset, CME demo guy had his mic directly in the center of the cloth, which doesn't hit the speaker cone where you'd probably want to mic it. But that demo sounded good so I'm probably full of shit. I was just appreciating the kid's commitment to detail.

No one has ever or will ever have a Surly Jam and Pancake Social without inviting you guys. Ain't gonna happen.

I've commissioned a dedicated board gaming table with an integrated tv in the center last week. Hope to have it by January. But I've decided on Fantasy Grounds just for the licensed modules. Anything that sold you on Roll20 over other options?

Woah! He's on my list of graves to visit, but homeboy is in the middle of nowhere New York and I haven't been able to swing it. One of these days I'm just going to make a special trip just for that. Congrats on the guitar, too.

What had happened was... Dig this, I got it for a steal because it was damaged during shipping. If you look at the sides, you can see the tolex flaring from the sides where it took some pretty good hits. No damage to the front, top, or amp section, just the sides. I should be able to glue the tolex down until I take it somewhere to do a better job. But, you know, I could just do some damage to the front and the cloth and give it a proper relic'ing, post the pictures here, profit (knowing how much you assholes love the notion of relics). It's also missing the foot switch, and the Astoria branded replacements are impossible to replace. You can use a generic Marshall two-channel switch though, but fuck that. I have a proper Astoria Custom foot switch that came with the head, so I'll just bring that when we get together for the 3rd Annual Surly Jam and Pancake Social. Apparently they learned a lesson because when it arrived, you would have thought I ordered a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian baby boy by the way this thing was packed. Someone from the warehouse went home with a full heart that day, lemme tell you. I don't think the garbage company will haul all these left-over packing materials away, I'm going to have to call and set up some kind of special haul-away service. The struggle is real. I might eventually get an Astoria Classic (the green beast designed as a clean pedal platform and Marshall's first and only ever "blues amp") to complete the set, but since I have a JTM45, that I love and does much of what that amp does, I'm in no rush unless a Classic comes up for a stupid deal. And prices on the line are starting to do what everyone predicted they would, climb up. Possibly gone are the halcyon days of $2000 Astoria amp heads, it seems. It might be a while.

I mean, come on. Coolness to spare.

NAD I am a full blown Astoria fanboy. I've got it bad. This is a limited edition Chicago Music Exchange Marshall Astoria Custom. Only a 100 were made. I have an Astoria Custom head and cab (it's the red one) already, but I couldn't pass up the chance to own a CME version. It's stylish as fuck and always made my pants tight, but near impossible to find. Side note, I bought a Fender Deluxe Reverb Custom, that hip silverface job with a combination blackface and updated custom circuits, from Guitar Center but had to return it when the CME Astoria came up. So, I was pretty close to finally getting my Deluxe Reverb. Some day soon. Or maybe not so soon.

In a relationship, the abuser is rarely the one who leaves.

For anyone who've been going bonkers trying to decide what mic to get for a home studio, which was me since I started going down this dark road, Sweetwater currently has the Slate VMS ML-1 Vintage (linked below) and the ML-1 at $300 off right now with 48 months no interest financing. They're also throwing in the Classic Tubes 3 profile pack. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VRSML1-VE--slate-digital-vms-ml-1-vintage-edition If you can't decide on a mic, why not buy one mic and get them all, imo.

Just ordered the Patoski book. I'm an easy sell.

It is a jam of jams.

I would dig the hell out of Finn getting a section during a show.

What stops them from taking whatever was offered and signing elsewhere after all? It's not like anyone is going to repo a Trans Am after-the-fact or anything.

I said with all due respect!

That Neptune looks like an fantastic deal, but they also put the Slate MVS Vintage on sale (and are throwing in the Classic Tubes 3 pack) and daddy needs to finally finish off the studio with a good vocal mic. These are the times that try men's souls.
