  1. It's a classic. Both of them. "How do I get this off my hand quickly without betraying my cool exterior?" (Or something like that) Tooms goes on to marry Courtney Stodden. So not just crazy as an X-Files character.
  2. Finally getting to see some highlights featuring Texas. Oh wait...
  3. Gorgeous!
  4. I use DropBox for sharing pics, free account too. Create a shared link then edit the front of the link, replacing "www.dropbox.com" with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" and that should allow hotlinking on this and other sites.
  5. Glad to see the Animals getting some run - House of the Rising Sun ticks all the boxes. It's a folk song that bridges the setting of the folk movement and predictive of the arrival of the psychedelic rock movement which will come to typify 60's music for me. God Only Knows is the only better love song, but since the Association hasn't been mentioned, check out Never My Love. I mean, come on. So many things going on here that are hallmarks of 60s music making. The Association were wizards in the studio. They were way ahead of the curve - Jimmy Page before it was cool to be a production nerd. Another 60's gem, which captures the decade's fascination with creative vocal syncopations is Along Comes Mary. Is anything MORE 60's than this? But for my money, Tommy James and the Shondells Crimson and Clover is so perfect it's almost anachronistic. It's everything we knew about making music in the 60's perfected. The complex guitar strums and mutes, highly experimental use of tremolo effects, openly interpretable lyrics, a break down for the ages, and probably about drugs or maybe illicit sex. How stoned must they have been?
  6. "Try and hit it off the barrell. Nope, not there." "No, warning track." "You still want my bat?" "No." So good.
  7. Check out the Greg Maddux one if you haven't.

    As a video game feature, I like HDR more than I care for 4K, and I care for 4K.
  9. You got the best episode right off the bat. Season 3 was stellar and I really liked season 4 too, though it had my least favorite episode of the series, Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man. Also, point of order, Home, an episode in my top 10, was also Season 4.
  10. Went to hang out with Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Had YouTube been around when she came along I wouldn't be the only one at this cemetery. Looking at the pic now I notice I should plan my shirts for the occasion better. SRT played almost exclusively Gibson. But I have a history of this...
  11. There just aren't that many Centaur/half-man themed names to choose from. Blame Bill Finnegan. Does "Tumnus Deluxe" sound better? Side note: I also have no intention to have that dumb name on my pedalboard. #priorities
  12. PSA: Stay the fuck away from Wilmington.

    We're talking about a DJ? /alleniverson
  14. This has been the Jared show for 2 seasons now.
  15. That's all you had to say!
  16. ..which will take PRS 2 years to do. And in 40 years, kids will make a big deal about the PRS Airline because it wasn't a big deal today. Time is a flat circle.
  17. For the longest it was The Arena. Intimate af. Saw Conway's last show there, too.
  18. Bruh.
  19. Check out this interview. Gene and Paul seems ready to strangle some fools. The whole thing is awkward. Criss will leave the band in about 5 months, but things are already tense. Also, as a bonus, you get to see Tom Snyder completely out of his element. No, Tom, they didn't play the violins themselves.
  20. Witness one of my favorite guitar ads in all its glory. (Something about the way the sunburst just pops amid all the blue and black. It's like a star in space, knowwhatImean?)
  21. I spent my formative years with the understanding that I would never get to see KISS live and then, out of nowhere, they announced they were getting back together for the reunion tour in 96. Praise be! Took my now-wife on our third date to see them at the Summit (Compaq Center by this point?). When Gene's platform went out over the crowd, dude stopped damn near right over us. It was epic. (Also, Pushmonkey was the opening act, which was a real bonus as I would have seen them solo too.) In my music room I have a framed copy of the Gibson ad featuring Ace and his custom guitar. In my comic collection I still have the Kiss issue "printed with real KISS blood!" Once, in high school, I went to Millennium in north Houston and saw Ace and Peter doing a show. Peter was meh af, but Ace fucking brought it. I was probably the youngest dude there, There was a part of the show where Ace said something like, "Do any of you remember my solo album? I think I'll do a song off of it now. You know the one!" Half the crowd screamed New York Groove and half screamed Rip It out. As loud as I could I screamed the one I wanted to hear, Ozone. Ace looked at me for a quick second with a subtle look of surprise on his face. I like to think he was taken aback by such a young kid pulling out one of his deep cuts. Could have been that he was surprised he had a song named Ozone and wondered what it must have sounded like. Who knows. Later in that show I made my way to the front of the crowd. Now, mind you, I made it to the front for Peter's show, too, and got to high five the man. Was a highlight of my young life. So I tried to do the same for Ace. I got to the front and everyone had their hand out to touch the dude. He looks me square in the fucking eyes and smirks. He didn't meet my high five, left me hanging, and smirked at me like an asshole. Don't care, still love the man. I also still have KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park on Laserdisc because it wasn't available back in the day on DVD. Also have a bootleg DVD of it, but I think it's just a transfer of the VHS. This gem needs a remaster on blu-ray. Just got done reading Paul Stanley's autobiography, Face the Music, and it was very good. Best of all the members' tell-alls. It's on Audible, too. EDITED TO ADD: Psycho Circus is the greatest comeback/return-from-a-long-hiatus album in history. Prove me wrong!
  22. So they ARE two different people. Shocking.
