Re: I am...
I've tried, but believe me, when completely fabricated words like "Deundulatingfreemarketeerism" come out of your mouth, you just start to choak a little bit. Plus, I guess I have a bit of a problem with postmodernism to begin with, being that it comes off as philosophical bullshit. Then again, I'm ...

Re: I am...
Man, I can't stand Derrida or any of that deconstructionist / postmodernist / let's write in a manner that no one can understand stuff.

not smart enough for the French intelligentsia. Maybe it's just because I've never worn a beret.

Re: friday fashion question
Yeah, being tall sucks when it comes to finding the right shirt size. If I go extra large and leave it untucked, it ends up looking like I'm wearing a fitted piece of sailcloth, and if I go large, the sleeves don't always meet the wrists, making me even more dorklike. My advice? Go untucked, because...

Re: can anyone give me a list of guitar amps that are quiet
I just picked up a Laney LC15 tube combo. 10" speaker, 15 watts, and no hum at all (except for some single coil stuff from the guitar). Really an amazing little amp, kind of a poor man's AC15, and it only cost $200, and it's dead quiet. I've had other Laney amps that weren't, though - a ProTube 30 a...

Re: Does anyone know what Wang Chung are doing these days?
It was a January day gripped in the cold New England winter, 1983. My parents, trapped inside because of a blizzard, turned on the radio and jammed out to "I Just Called to Say I Love You", "Maneater" and, most saliently, "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight." Fastforward nine months, when I am brought int...

Re: having to change band names suck
It's cool, we've all had our flirtations with funk and/or jam bands. I've been there too, but calmer heads prevailed and I look back on those days and say "Who was I?" I thank my friends and family for helping me through such difficult times. But yeah, the early Chili Peppers stuff (Freaky Styley to...

Re: nader???
I wouldn't sweat Nader at all. He's said he is going to run his campaign as another front against Bush (unlike last time, which was directed at Gore primarily), and he's going to have a tremendous difficulty in getting on the ballot without the benefit of the Green Party's small but devoted apparatu...

Re: Great Pedals and Stomp Boxes
Speaking of Akai, their bass synth pedal worked wonders with a guitar, but I blew a speaker using the dropped octave effect on it.

Re: having to change band names suck
Having grown up around dozens of awful white guy funk bands, we used to love to make up absurd funk band names, of which I'll offer you the best:
Funkdick.
Not be confused with Dickfunk, though.

Re: anyone surf or skate?
Used to surf growing up in Virginia Beach, but now that I'm in New Hampshire I'll be damned if I'm gonna put on all that rubber and still freeze my ass off out there. Some guys will go out in the snow, it's crazy.

Well, I guess I'll erase that castinet solo I did this morning, then. And I thought I was being kitchy.

Re: What's the scene like in central Illinois?
Portsmouth is a cool town, and not far at all to Boston. I'm on the other side of the state, and came up for grad school. It's beautiful, but if you don't like cold weather (and I don't), it might not be the place for you. Not much of a music scene outside of Boston, though Manchester and Burlington...

Re: Great Pedals and Stomp Boxes
Vox used to make this chrome looking overdrive pedal that I loved. Also, an original (hell, even reissue) Marshall Guv'nor. Makes anything into a stack. Rotovibes are my favorite effects, and an original Digitech Whammy can't be beat.

So if you could remove one track from a song?
I was listening to Lennon's Mind Games today, and I heard a track I had up until now never really gave much of an ear to. There's a harpsichord - I think - playing 8th notes that is most apparent during the first few bars, and it is totally killing that song for me now. I can't listen to it without ...
