Blues and Jazz Off Topic/Chat Thread!

eh, what? I went down to the crossroads and fell down on my knees... so I can't hear very well

[ze monsta]

Drunk much?

No ban hammer for me. :D

[Carswell98]

you are a strange strange man

[imgooley]

you are a strange strange man
Thank you kind sir. It has been a truculent night. As I was at the crossroads, the :devil: retuned my guitar. Does anyone know if that means anything :confused:

[ze monsta]

I'm pretty sure it's a sign of cancer. Is your hand bigger than your face?

[imgooley]

Lemme check....

no

[ze monsta]

Well, I don't have a ban!

I picked the winner and only one of my choices fell.

[GD_GC]

I've always wanted to lose one of those contest thread things. I really want to know what the FOTB is like for just 2 or 3 days :haha

it's funny, for about 15 minutes

:haha yeah I bet, and then it probably gets really old really fast.

We should totally do a Blues and Jazz user elimination thread, except we really don't have enough regulars for that.

[TheDev01dOne]

FoTB sucks. It would be way better if you could post in other peoples threads.

i was looking forward to the fotb so much when i was entered to the UE ages ago :p:

but it's true, only a small fraction of the threads are funny, and it's a pain using firefox to log in and out since it keeps various cookies and whatnot :p:

i don't know how people who get properly banned take care of themselves when held captive there :(
it's funny, for about 15 minutes
you were on IRC a few hours ago :) :)
that was a 'hole' lot of fun ;) ;) ;) ;)

aha :p:

I'm afraid you may have mistaken my correction though

it was supposed to be a pun, instead I'm pretty sure it made me look like an idiot :(


I like chat though, I might start showing up a little more often

[sre9981]

I hate guitar stores...

I now want a Taylor acoustic, Martin acoustic, and a Fender Telecaster...

:(

[TheDev01dOne]

Lol I went to soundcontrol today to buy a £5 slide and eneded up leaving with a new bass, a lead and my slide.. Damn mine and my GFs impulsive spending sprees. It was 10% off day though Lol we did have a reason.

I wish I had the money to be able to do that :sad:

[TheDev01dOne]

I don't have the money, that's the problem! The bass was for my girlfriend though and her dad payed half when we got home.

I'm seriously seriously bad at spending money though, I just do it without thinking, buying stuff here and there. I hate saving money I don't see the point really unless I'm just saving to have enough to spend on something expensive. Life's too short not to buy things you like.

Now that I have a job though I should be able to do a bit more spending. There's loads of things I want to buy, the list goes something like..

Budda Wah, Booteek OD pedal, some good good quality cables, about 5 new marine band harmonicas, need one of my guitars set up properly by a luthier, want another small bodied acoustic, or possibly a resonator for slide playing. Want a £1200 hand-built acoustic from Rob Armstrong before I go back to Australia, want to do a relic blackguard Tele build and I want a Gibson-y guitar maybe a non-reverse firebird or something cool like that..

Yep I need about 7 more jobs now and I'll be on easy street.

Later nerds!

lol, racer X? how does it sound?

I've been trying to learn a little shred lately, just to improve my dexterity

I'm failing

I can play the final solo in Crossroads now though(except for the very quick part at the end) :haha

it only took like, a week of solid practice :(

with my modded tubescreamer on max distortion you can't hear many of the mistakes in scarified :p:

it doesn't sound too great tbh, but i'm not bothered with my metal tone, i just need to improve my speed/accuracy/whateveryouwanttocallit and then i can play blues/shred/fusion ;) ;) i've been practising the first four bars of scarified for three days straight now, and it's getting there :o

I have a Joe Bonamassa Bootleg from that resaurant :D


so how was New York in general?

[gopherthegreat]

well, i saw central park, which was really fun. i also saw a lot of street performers, including people playing motown music, and people playing gypsy jazz. the mototown guys were especially good. i also saw some guys who were breakdancing, and they were great. they did all kinds of cool dance stuff, but for the final thing they did, one of them did a front flip over 5 people! (the people were leaning over to make themselves shorter, but it was still amazing)

[Carswell98]

that still sounds pretty cool :p:

[Vagabond21]

Man I just got back from playing paintball.... I got shot so many times i look like a dalmation :(

But so did everyone else so it was cool.

Anyone know how ze monsta got banned?

i've been outta the loop this weekend

[gopherthegreat]

gus is banned? i didnt know that :(

[imgooley]

didnt know that either

[Vagabond21]

should we leave words of encouragement on his profile?

[Carswell98]

gus is banned? i didnt know that :(

yeah he apparently didn't do as well in the horse race as he thought, so I think he got a 3 day ban as the conditions for the bet

he's ok though :haha

[Vagabond21]

horse race?

yeah, the Grand National

[gopherthegreat]

umm.....did i miss something?

[Dimebag22]

umm.....did i miss something?
Frenchy had a thread that you pick 5 horses for the Grand National and if you picked the right horse, you would get your record cleared. But for every horse you picked that was wrong, you got a 3 day ban. Or something like that...

Lol encouraging gambling on a guitar website to like 15year olds.. I love the internet!

[Vagabond21]

so tired at work...

anything interesting happening to anyone else?

What are some cool blues websites besides the one about clapton and blueslessons.net?

[TheDev01dOne]

Nothing interesting here. Bored s **** playing some slide with the dog asleep beside me, practicing 'Evil' for a session tonight, hopefully I don't **** it up like last time and forget all the words.

Contemplating watching one of the Martin Scorsese Presents.. The Blues DVDs.

I almost bought those dvds but didnt feel like spending the money. Hopefully Blockbuster has them and I can just rent them. Have you seen any of them yet?

[TheDev01dOne]

Yeah I have the box set of all 7, they're great I've watched them all about 5 times over probably. One of them ****s up though I have to re-buy it. Definitely worth the money though, great DVDs with cool rare footage and stuff. I haven't even looked at any of the special features yet.

My favourite is probably 'Soul of a man' the one about Skip James and Blind Willie Johnson and J.B. Lenoir.

[Vagabond21]

Yeah they sound good. I don't know if you're a hendrix fan but if you are I recommend buying room full of mirrors. Its a book on his entire life. It's awesome.

I read stairway to heaven and claptons bio and I found them interesting so I got this one. I think it's my fav out of the 3. I got the audio version from itunes though because I drive a lot. It makes the drive go by so much faster.

edit: have you sold that strat yet?

[TheDev01dOne]

Nope still got it. Thinking about using it for a Tele/strat Squier 51 kinda hybrid thing but I can't really afford it.

[imgooley]

Those DVDs need more Johnny Lee

As someone who's been trying to write songs lately it's become really evident that everything I would have to write about seems really trivial compared to all the old great blues songs, and anything that wasn't trivial has been done to death already. I'm finding it really difficult to write a good honest blues song without having to either exaggerate stuff alot to get the full effect into the song, or resorting back to the old cliched stadard blues themes and just adding a bit of my own thoughts/style/my own take on it kinda thing.

Makes me kinda sad really, the world is a changing place and although old blues, IMO, will remain timeless and will always be relevant, creating something new that can stand up with the old standards without being cliched, or without being trivial or without being exaggerated is really quite difficult already. I'm really not sure where the blues is headed for in the future.

I have to disagree. I think that blues is taking your own problems no matter how big or small, and turning them into music. The blues will always live on, as long as any humans have problems to deal with. The problems don't have to be huge, but as long as there are problems, there will be blues. Just my thoughts.

[Beakwithteeth]

Most of the time when I write a blues song i make it either ironically over the top or just dumb for humor.... :(

A few examples:

"Woke up this morning, everyone died, I wasn't sad not a tear I cried."

"Woke up this afternoon couldn't find no matching socks, Woke up this afternoon couldn't find no matching socks, That's alright I decided to wear my crocs."

"If the river was whiskey and I was a duck, if the river was whiskey and I was a duck, I'd be underage and I'd be out of luck"

I know, I am a genius :o

And SYK made a thread on how to get out of FoTB like "Just swear, al the mods are teenage girls from Scotland, don't worry." :haha

And all the people that got banned for breaking rules were getting really pissy because we were allowed to chat between thread and make spam threads. :p:

I've just finished watching an amazing movie, The French Connection, it kicked ass

Was it the original French connection or the remake? The original is better than the remake as far as I can remember.. Great car chase, one of the best ever probably.

I've (hopefully) decided that since I now have a job I'm gonna save up £1200 to buy a hand-made acoustic guitar from a guy my GFs dad knows, Rob Armtrong, so I can take it home and like even if I never come back I'll alway have something to remember it. Not to mention this guy makes some of THE best acoustic instruments in the world. My GFs dad has a mandocello made by him with like a solid brazilian rosewood back and sides and neck and it sounds amazing. And he has an acoustic doubleneck 6/12 string from the 70s made by the guy that is honestly the nicest sounding acoustic guitar I've ever heard.

I think I'm gonna put a P90 in the bridge of my stratstarcaster

[ze monsta]

I love the tone of a P-90 but they only look good in Gold Tops and ES-335's and other hollowbodies. imo.

[Carswell98]

^ IMO as long as they are the right color, they suit anything

I think I'm gonna put a P90 in the bridge of my stratstarcaster

nice

I played a vintage telecaster not too long ago with a P-90 in the neck, through a vox AC-30

Omafuggingod is sounded good :eek:

[ze monsta]

Me and my band are almost agreed on what to play at a battle of the bands...

We wanna play 2/3 songs...here are our ideas:

Knockin' On Heavens Door - Dylan
Pride and Joy or I'm Crying- SRV
Or something else.

[imgooley]

Play Voodoo Child. That's a crowd pleaser

[ze monsta]

Wow, incredible statement from my friend on msn, after only really playing blues licks and stuff:

I don't like playing blues, I'd rather play like Slash.

The dude doesn't even listen to GnR...I'm shocked and appalled...seriously.


MONSTA EDIT:

The guys in my band are my best friends, and I'd hate to have a falling out over something as trivial as music, but I'm seriously thinking of leaving them :( , and asking some guys 3 years older than me if I can join their band...Because they play blues, and that's what I wanna do... But I think i should wait, but today the other guitarist in their band said he thought I was really good, and should play more blues stuff...so I was like "yeah, thanks for the advise. See ya around" and I really got me thinking... :sad:

[imgooley]

Inundate them with the power of blues.

[ze monsta]

I actually think the reason they don't wanna play blues is that they're scared of it.
I seriously think it's too deep for them, but the most annoying thing is the bassist has this thing about pretending to be really mellow on stuff, but he's really not. :( And I know the guitarist is scared of it, it really is a case of the old blues players scaring the rich white kids. :p:

:haha

[imgooley]

Well, play him some garage rock and ease him into it. The MC5 and the Stooges did tons of blues songs that don't sound like blues songs.

I guess just write songs that are blues, but sound rockishlike.

And old black people do scare the rich white kids.

The new Counting Crows album is amazing, the guitar player finally learned to play. Sounds like a lot of Telecaster in there too.

Today I'm going to hopefully write a ong, or at least get a good start on one.

[sre9981]

I need to listen to the counting crows album in full at some point. I got halfway through it the other day and turned it off cause it was "meh"

Colin Meloy Sings Live! has been eating all of my playtime, along with underground hip-hop. (prepares to be crucified) I haven't even had time to listen to Attack and Release yet...

[Highbinder]

Does anyone have any of 'The Blues Collections'? Theres about 80 volumes, each is a specific artist.

I just got the 'The Bonnie Raitt Collection' the other day, I don't think I have any others though.

If I'm looking for older Delta stuff usually they have 'complete recordings' or 'complete discography' and I just get them.

I love the random bargain bin like $2 blues compilations you find though at random shops.. Sometimes they have really hard to find tracks on them or just a really obscure artist that you've never heard of. If I see them anywhere I usually buy them, I think I have about 30 random blues compilation CDs.

[imgooley]

Anyone got anything to say?

[Carswell98]

no


you?

No

[Carswell98]

well I did just watch the final episode of Beavis & Butthead

what happened?

[TheDev01dOne]

Man I had some ****ed up dreams last night. At one point I remember someone handing me a '54 Esquire to play and I probably jizzed in my pants.

I'm assuming falling asleep listening to Jeff Buckley is what triggered it since loads of his songs are about dreams he had, I could be wrong though, maybe I just had some bad crack.

[Vagabond21]

what happened?

Kind of a long story. We worked it out though so I'm feelin better today.

2 good things did happen yesterday though.

1. I bought a bass

2. I put an ad on craigslist looking for people just to jam with and some guy that plays rhythym and sings who also has a drummer is wanting me to come meet him ab joining up with the band to play lead. He says he's already had 2 offers for record deals. He also says he knows he can get gigs pretty regularly. I'm not sure what to make of it. I made sure he knew that I'm an upper intermediate guitarist and not some guitar god.

Their musical tastes are a bit different from mine but I just like playing. I like a wide range of music so I like playing with just about anyone.

I'll probably just meet up with him and see whats up.

edit: btw, nice pic gools

[Vagabond21]

where is everyone today??

[Vagabond21]

[Carswell98]

good day gentlemen,

just got out of my last Sociology class of the semester :)

[ze monsta]

I got home from school 2 hours ago, it was pretty fun. Played tennis with some friends. :p:
We just perved at all the hot girls there, and tried to chat them up. :haha

[ze monsta]

No... :sad:

But I'm going out after school tomorrow so that makes up for today's failures. ;)

[imgooley]

I only have Philosophy today. Might not even go

[ze monsta]

I want to get a copy of Texas Flood...But I won't get one before the weekend...Bah, humbug.

I was doing latin h/w yesterday, just listening to some Muddy Waters whilst I translated piles of boring stories... And my dad goes "What's this? I quite like it." I told him it was Muddy Waters and he simply replies: "Oh yeah, Muddy, I saw him a few times."
My face was like this > :eek: Then I put on some Broonzy and he recognised it, and said "Oh yeah, I saw Big Bill as well. And I saw Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee on the same bill." :mad:
But it was pretty cool because he was saying he was a really big blues fan when he was in his teens, like me and my brother.

It was most certainly NOT fair.

[imgooley]

My mom saw Zeppelin live in 1977 and I think that my dad say Miles Davis back in the day too.

[ze monsta]

My dad has seriously seen almost all the greats. From John Lee Hooker to Freddie King.

[imgooley]

Well, my dad can beat up your dad.

[ze monsta]

My dad's a giant! :p:




































Ok, no he's not. But he's really strong and quick. :haha

:peace:

[imgooley]

[TeXaS_db]

Woooo!

Damn youngin has better gear than me

[ze monsta]

I just made it up as I went along, playing it. I'm good like that.

I'm gonna sing these blues all night
I'm gonna sing these blues all night.
I'm gonna be singin, singin these blues, singin these blues for Booker White.

I'm gonna play like lightnin, I'm gonna sing with soul,
so all you mens know to leave me alone.

I'm gonna fight and prowl the night.
I'm gonna fight and prowl the night.
I'm gonna fight, battle and lose, and I'm gonna sing my old blues for Booker White.

I'm gonna roll on like thunder, once again.
I'm gonna roll on like thunder, once again.
I'm gonna fight and and battle you men, but I'm gonna roll on like thunder once again.

I'm gonna sing my old blues, I know I'm right.
I'm gonna sing my old blues coz I know I'm right.
I'm gonna sing my old blues, I'm gonna sing my old blues, I'm gonna sing my old blues for Booker White.

I'm beaten, bruised and scarred but I'm ok.

Record it

[ze monsta]

With what. :haha

I'm too cheap.

If you think it makes little sense, it's basically about Booker White working as a boxer.

[imgooley]

It's just that written blues lyrics never have the same punch as when they are sung.

[ze monsta]

Meh. I'm pleased with it because it sounds good to me. :p: And I know what you mean, but yeah. I can't do anything about it.

It's like lookin at the lyrics to Smokestack Lightnin', you only know it's special when you here it.

[Vagabond21]

Speaking of Cancukland and the commonwealth, I've been to Canadian land in France, which is technically, Canada. :haha

It was given to the Canadian's after WWI, and is looked after by Canadian folks, it was trenches, but it's basically been concreted over to preserve the trenches in the state they were in. And from all the shelling, there are literally HUGE craters everywhere. :o

BTW, is it true that when canucks talk the tops of their heads pop up and down like on South Park??

Also, do you say "aboot" instead of "about"? ::crosses fingers::

I'd say canada because they have more grizzly bears

Yeah, I think it was the Newfoundladers were sent over th top in the Battle of The Somme, and of the 700 or something that went over, 550 died or something... :(

[Carswell98]

^ yes, since we were still a British colony at that point, they used us a lot

Vimy ridge was Canada's moment of glory though
poutine??????

Fries + Mozzarella cheese + Lots of beef gravy

Well, no it isn't. More like a hair metal kinda like a cheesy Poison song. We were actually jamming on it for the lulz and it was probably the most fun I've had jamming in a while so I arranged it and made cheesy lyrics and it's amazing :haha

But yeah, it was originally made for the lulz.

We're playing it at the Battle of the Bands on the 19th too :p:

Dude, all of the really cheesy hair metal bands make me laugh. I mean, it's hard not to laugh through Crue's 'She Goes Down' or 'Cherry Pie' or Poison's 'I Want Action Tonight' :haha I still love it though.

[imgooley]

I read somewhere, a quote from Geezer Butler

'Poison and Warrant are about as metal as The Backstreet Boys'

Just thought I would say that.

Crue is pretty good though, Smokin in the Boys Room even has a harp solo in it.

And Cherry Pie is a Warrant tune.

I think I've settled on this

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/94subaru_legacy.jpg
a 1993 subaru legacy, because I used to own one (a wagon) and it was a blast to drive


5 speed manual, 2.2l boxer engine, 4 wheel drive, I hope I get to it in time.




anybody have any other suggestions?, I have about 3 grand to spend

[imgooley]

I've been down that road, and I shall not again

*shudders*

not until I can afford an '02

I ****ing hated/loved that car (mostly hated though)

I still think it's creepy you drive the exact same car that I did :p:

[imgooley]

I got it for free too

[Carswell98]

I got it for free too

can't remember what I paid for mine, (wasn't a lot though :haha )

that car was so ****ed by the time I sold it, I gave it a week before it fell apart, and sure enough, it did.



oh and added incentive, this is what my subie wagon used sound like :liplick:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_m78UCrtay0&feature=related

[imgooley]

what was wrong with it? mine runs good

[Carswell98]

what was wrong with it? mine runs good


hmmm, ok

- T Tops leaked

- oil leaked

- hatch struts were ****ed

- back window leaked

- exhaust manifold cracked

- water pump blew, and the car subsequently overheated

- constantly blew fuses

- and to top it all off, a week before I sold it, the tranny mounst blew, so the only think supporting the transmission was the engine :haha

[imgooley]

Cracked exhaust manifold=car death. Add tranny problems and moar death.

I blew my waterpump coming over a mountain pass... but it didn't overheat. I put a new one in though. I also had a crack in my heater core, which was a bitch to replace. I will never sell the thing though.


Seriously though, get a 1995 Toyota Tercel with the 2.0. It gets insane mileage.

well I never had tranny problems per se, just that my transmission didn't exactly wish to remain part of my firebird :haha




the thing about a tercel is, I'm trying to compromise balls with mileage, and a tercel gets a 9 on the mileage scale, and about a 2 on the balls scale :p:



and at least the 4wd and manual tranny in the subie will let me have some fun :devil:

[imgooley]

The Tercel has a 4 speed manual, slap a new pipe and TRD decals, new rims and balls factor goes up to 6.

My neighbor had one that was a beast of a economy car, sold it for 1500 bucks with all the stuff added to it.

Jettas are nice, reliable, they tend to be a little pricey though





have you ever noticed that Jetta owners tend to be... er... different?

they say a Jetta owner is 48% more likely to go hiking or do yoga than owners of other cars, there was a commercial about that a while back.

[imgooley]

That be bullshiit my friend.

I have seen Jettas go for under three grand, so it's do able. The only Subaru that I like is the Imprezza, so that's why I am going against the legacy, especially since it's a wagon.


Also, why not get an old Tacoma or Sonoma/S10? Or do you need a car?

hmm, I'll look for some VWs, but around here, the cheap ones are like, '93s or earlier, and they are rusty as **** :p:


I actually used to own an '89 ford Ranger as well, but I don't really need/want a truck, if I do need one, I'll just steal my mom's... a 4 door, long box, 1 ton, diesel Ford :haha

I am really trying hard to keep peace with 3 people living in this apartment, but if this happens again, I'm going to ****ing lose it.

/car selection.

Mine is blue though, waiting to be resprayed gun-metal grey. And it will never have horrible wheels like that one has.

It's been my dream car since I was about 7, my dad bought me one to fix up together. Still needs a lot of work but it'll be awesome when it's finished.

[imgooley]

what car is that

[TheDev01dOne]

'64 Holden EH Panel Van.

[imgooley]

Damn British cars, I can never ever id them.

[TheDev01dOne]

It's Australian. Waiting for me in the garage until I get back home. Which it looks like, may be quite soon since my GF wants to leave now.

[chobe]

Ecto-1'd

[imgooley]

Damn foreign cars. GM for the win.

[TheDev01dOne]

Technically Holdens are GM cars anyway. They used a lot of their parts and ****, Chev engines bolt straight in, the upper end high performance models came with them stock.

It's just GMH instead of GMC.

How aboot a pic of your Firebird? Pretty good blues car I gotta say. Probably can't fit many amps/drumkits/PA systems in the back though.

[imgooley]

I don't have a pic of MY firebird currently, but I can get one in the morning.

I can fit all of my gear in the back. The funny thing is that when I moved from Sacramento to Irvine, I put all of my belongings in it and set off. I had the sucker full to the brim.

[TheDev01dOne]

Lol filling up cars is awesome fun. Me and my friends used to regularly fill this crappy hatchback my sister gave me with 5 bikes and 5 people to go on roadtrips to ride BMX, was heaps fun until we needed to get up a hill with the 1.2L

[imgooley]

Ha, that's why I have a 2.8 V6. Good on gas and power.

I had no trouble getting over one of the toughest mountain passes in California.

[TheDev01dOne]

I'm still not decided what engine to put in mine. Dad wants a 5.0L V8 but I think I want to get it all modified for a 3L EFI V6 out of a newer car, which will give me plenty of power and be cheaper on petrol. Just depends on $$ really, I might run the old ****ty engine in it for a while to give me time to save some cash for the engine work.

[imgooley]

Well since it runs GM parts and engines, why not drop a 3.8 from a Camaro or similar car in it?

[TheDev01dOne]

Too hard to find in Aus. The engine I want is out of a Holden Commodore which is probably the most popular family sedan in the country and also happens to go damn hard so they're easy to find, easy to get parts, easy to fix and easy to modify. They make kits for the engine conversion so I just need an engine, we had one when I left but dad might've sold it, the conversion kit, a mechanic and the hard part is finding a 5spd gearbox for it, because 90% of them are automatics.

[imgooley]

Well, does Holden make sports cars?

[syk3d]

:eek:

If it weren't for holden, you wouldn't have your current Pontiac GTOs!

Yes, Holden make sports cars :)

[TheDev01dOne]

depends what defines a sport car.. They make more like muscle cars I guess, their top of the range cars are like 6L V8 sedans. Same cars that my engine is coming out of though, they just upgrade engines for more expensive models.

[imgooley]

Ok, so why not swap a nice V6 and sport tranny for your current powertrain? It's an older car, so why put mussed up electronics that are pretty much useless into it?

[TheDev01dOne]

Better reliability and cheaper fuel economy. They never made NA V6 motors, they all had inline 6s that evenually got electronic fuel injection and then they swapped out to more modern EFI V6 motors.

I could hot up the engine it has in it now but for the price it'll cost for the upgrades, plus all the extra fuel it will use, it's cheaper and quicker to put in a modern engine, which will also give me the same amount of power as the old engine if I worked that anyway.

Then if I feel like it I can work the newer engine to get even more power out of it. I probably won't though, I just want something that looks nice and is reliable enough to drive everyday.

We have another of the same car that we bought for parts for mine, after we're finished mine the plan is to just build that one into a beast for taking to car festivals with a big V8 and like black primer paintjob. Just no frills but a crazy engine.

[imgooley]

I wanna put the 3.5 in mine with the turbo. Yes, it will be awesome. And I want to get a motorcycle to save on gas.

[TheDev01dOne]

Nice. I'm scared of motorbikes. I hurt myself enough on BMX bikes, I don't need an engine to help me go faster :haha

You need like a mad Harley softail and get it painted to match the firebird! Would be awesome.

[imgooley]

I am saving the harley for later. I had a GSX600 but it got stolen

[TheDev01dOne]

All this tal of cars is killing me, I can't drive over here in England, it's one of the things I miss most about home.

Back to blues! I finally got Chulahoma and it's pretty rocking. Getting some Junior Kimbrough albums now aswell. The new Counting Crows is still dominating my playlists though, it's quite good.

Also did anyone ever notice that Jeff Buckley was actually a pretty kickass guitarist? Was listening to Live at Sin-e and he plays loads of good fiddly bluesy stuff, gets a great full sound considering it's just him, a Tele, and epic reverb.

[ze monsta]

Yeah Braedon, I went to Vimy Ridge. And then stayed in Reims.
Gooood times. :haha

That was easily one of the best/the best week of my life.
