Re: earwax candles and other witchcraft!!!

trodden -

if you think they work, try this...

burn one in an ashtray without it getting anywhere near your ear.

Re: How Do You Run a Band?

I have to agree with other posters - stand up, assert yourself. If they don't dig it, you either submit or you leave.

Re: poll: what do you do?

my day job is as a receptionist for a social service organization in Minneapolis, dealing with employment programs and refugee resettlement. so I get to try to explain to people who speak 3 words of english that their case worker is out at lunch, and won't be back for an hour.

Re: what is a plugin?

I think they use TDM plugins, a different style.

Then I moved to Minneapolis and found one in about 2 weeks, mint and stock with mint hardcase... dirt cheap. Then I found a 1969 Univox Dan Armstrong copy lucite guitar, mint, for about 1/3 the ...

Re: Do you have PERFECT PITCH?
