  1. Just finished Keef's autobiography, Life, and he talks about the moment he met Chuck, one of his idols, as being a real letdown. Says Chuck bigtimed them. Acted like a prick. I wonder if he and Mick are talking about farts in that pic...
  2. Since I don't have a pond, I nominate Tbone's place for the First Annual Surly Jam and Pancake Social.
  3. V2, with the power reduction and the reinforced cabinet, make the amp even more legit. It has cathode biasing, too. You can drop any matched pair into it without biasing the tubes. Pretty slick shit for a $300 tone dragon.
  4. There's always one in every group. I mean two!
  5. I can't tell who's singing. Is that David Allan Coe? Fuck that dude.
  6. Grill pic instead, imo.
  7. North Austin Guitar Center has a v2 Marshall Class5 for $300.
  8. You posted that on Surly. We just assume sarcasm until proven otherwise.
  9. Looks like the suit he died in.
  10. Liucci answers all Texas questions with an aggy reaffirming, it's-great-to-be-us flavor. Pubes is that lever that activates sex stimulation centers in their aggy brains instead of the lever that releases food. They ask him a Texas question, they get a little tickle in their micro-penii. They would happily starve.
  11. The rollercoaster works without Liucci, but the rollercoaster REALLY works with him.

    A few years ago I saw a crowd of people around someone at a terminal bar in Dallas and didn't think too much about it. As I waited in line to board my flight back to Austin, many from that crowd started walking my way, then past me, and after a quick check-in boarded the plane. As the crowd walked past, I could see that it was Robert Plant at the center. When I boarded the plane, it was a scene straight out of the 60s - many of the stewardesses (it was a scene out of the 60s, so "stewardesses!") were crowded around him in the front row, asking him questions and being fans. It was cool to see that reaction still, in HIS 60s. Turns out he was on his way to SXSW.
  13. Clapton's bubblegum blues worked better in that setting than I would've guessed.
  14. I feel saved.
  15. If you've never heard recordings of the Earl and Willie's jams, be thankful for just seeing the photo. Then again, Earl's vocals are so bad they become endearing. But that Les Paul tho.
  16. @TexasEd It's a Blues Deluxe, which is great when it's allowed to cook. A very different animal from any other amp in the collection. Not really "Fender clean" anywhere on the dial and gets raunchy quick. The new Blues Jr IV (it's a proper upgraded tonal circuit over the III) is probably what you're looking for. But a deal on a used III would do you well, too. And the III is a bona fide, proven gigging champ that is just as at home at home.
  17. Kingfish was at Antone's tonight (dammit). Did anyone go?
  18. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273367331767
  19. You crushed it.
  20. We've been trending to have another unanimous GOAT.
  21. For so much of my life, Hendrix was considered, almost unanimously, the GOAT. It doesn't feel like it's still that way.

    This is the go-to when nothing else is on. Just set it and let it roll.

    The box doesn't fit into a Kallax unit. What kind of twisted sociopath designs an LP box that doesn't fit into a Kallax?!?!
  24. That's about exactly how I think of him - a conduit. And it doesn't matter the gear or the talent, you can't duplicate him. The best have tried, none have succeeded.
