Hi. As far as I can tell, the Black Keys are having a release party live right now on the iHeartRadio Youtube channel, for their new album Dropout Boogie, which is being release today (whichever 'day' that may be, depending on where you live - Saturday morning 14th May 2022 for me). I'm...

Hi. I think this is rather brilliant. Some truly actual LOL moments* in here for me. And something in here for our delightful @hemingway too. https://aeon.co/videos/bad-puns-regrettable-costumes-and-other-joys-of-collecting-kitschy-album-art <iframe title="vimeo-player" src="" width="640"...

…or, maybe you will. David’s post in another thread just reminded me. Looking at my son, I said “Hey, your top’s bumched at the back.” Then I turned, stood there at the kitchen counter, paused mid onion slice, trying to figure out why I felt uneasy, and what was my brain trying to tell me...

…they looked like a novelty beer. “Amped Up larger” apparently. Pax/ Dean

…reggae. Hi. For me, reggae just feels so right in the heat. Something about it.* On the train right now, spinning (the noughts and ones of) this: Pax/ Dean * or, something about me that makes it seem there’s something about it?

Hi. Well there's a new one. I just clicked on a "Manage your subscription" link in an e-mail. To cancel a subscription. The cancel 'response' option made me sound slightly rude. Something like "Zero stuff! Stop sending me e-mails!" I'm guessing it is an attempt you make people hesitate and...

Hi. Andertons TV put up a video a wee while ago where Lee Anderton and Dave Simpson try to get a Peter Green tone with affordable gear - cheap-ish guitar, solid state Orange amp and (ultimately) two pedals. Interesting, as they tried out several pedals that get discussed a fair bit here (& a...

Hi. Just noticed this relatively new video from 5 Watt World. Did a quick search & don’t think it has been posted. Pax/ Dean

Hi. If you're into it, All Them Witches released 'Live on the Internet' a few hours ago. Basically, the album version of a paid online show they did a wee while ago. Available on their page at BandCamp and also from New West Records.* Bunch of songs on their YouTube channel too, like these...

Hi. By chance I just noticed this. Seems to have been announced / released recently. Still on preorder it appears. Personally, I find this quite annoying. I've been looking for a solution for a few practice / home recording problems, and this just muddies the waters / makes choices more...

…clone. Hi. Namely, a Moskey Golden Horse. The particular choice of klone inspired by semi recent posts here. Not quite as cheap as I’ve seen in the past, but still no great financial stressor at the equiv. of US$30.08. Feels more flimsy than my various other Chinese made clones. Or, it...

Hi. Just noticed the new line of cheaper pedals. Have not seen anything on here about them. That may be due to time zone differences of course. But a search yields nothing - sorry if I’ve somehow missed it. https://www.premierguitar.com/news/fender-hammertone-pedals I already covet the...

Hi. Anyone who has Plugin Alliance / Brainworx accounts probably got the e-mail, but for others, they’re having a sale on for their mastering plugin Masterdesk.* Ends Monday 31st, 11:59pm, PST. Normally $299, which possibly maybe actually means $39.99 typically. As that’s the ‘pre-sale...

Hi. Something @telemnemonics said in another thread reminded me of something I’d thought about asking a few days ago. I don’t, but I’ve known of people who have rules like, for every hour they spend online on social media (or whatever) for their hobby, they have to spend the same on actually...

Hi. Looking for something for another thread, I just came across this. I was totally into the Angels as a teenager / young adult.* I still remember where I was when I first heard them - my bedroom at home in my parents' house in a small sleepy southern New Zealand town. They were being...

Hi. Here’s one for the Australians, if you close your eyes and try to remove the context, who does this remind you off? I'm getting some uneasy visual doppelgänger-ness too. I do like the solo though. Pax/ Dean

Hi. I noticed this. Which led to this. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/old-music-killing-new-music/621339/ And then this. Pax/ Dean

Hi. So, I was putting my 50s styled lacquer finished MIJ Tele away last night and suddenly noticed a bit of checking on the back - mostly long lines spaced several inches apart. And, one single check line on the front. So, I was quite surprised, as nothing much goes on temp / use wise in my...

Hi. Sometimes compilation albums get a bit of a dirty rep, a bad rap - incomplete, superficial ‘popular’ selection, misleading sampling, poor quality, blatant money grab repackaging, etc. But, some can be great. And even, can become favourites. So, is it one artist, one genre, one label...

Hi. Just noticed this. And, just for fun. But it does remind me of many times where people, including myself, have mistaken one guitar for another. Or, underestimated the role of the amp. Et cetera. Edit - seems between the time I watched it, wrote this and posted it, he took the video...

Hi. I learnt I don’t have much of it. But, I also learnt I think it can be improved / developed. Early in 2021 I came home one Friday after work quite late and decided, for no particular reason, to make a quick basic, dirty sounding blues backing track in Logic and just mess around over it. I...

Hi. I learnt I think I like it more than guitar - when playing with others. It has such power, both physically and psychologically. It’s like a magic wand - ‘Move your hips, I command thee…’* And you? Pax/ Dean * okay, it’s probably the drummer more than me… :rolleyes:

Hi. I learnt I should try writing with a bass way more. I come up with different stuff, instead of the same old stuff. Especially, bass lines / rhythms / grooves with holes in them. Those you can fill with guitar bits. This seems to create a different, more integrated, more ‘composed’...

Hi. I learnt, I have enough. So, when I occasionally buy a new one, they should be something quite different and maybe even a bit silly (for me). :) Hence my last two - a rotary speaker emulator and an auto wah. And that lead me to learn that they can inspire new approaches, or yield...

Hi. I learnt, I still suck. But I also learnt to live with that, a wee bit more. Oh yeah, I also learnt to be a little less heavy handed with my fretting (emphases on ‘a little’). And you? Pax/ Dean
