i've had two APC UPSes blow up and catch fire.

i keep a fire extinguisher handy now.

My sweetie got me a cool little "beater" acoustic guitar - Yamaha FG-110 - to keep at the in-laws while we're staying here. oooh, i used to have one of those. it was actually my first guitar cos my mom bought it in 1974 and then never learned how to play. i loved that guitar...and then some asswipe...

protection rackets.

the Tech 21 Liverpool and Blonde are both EXCELLENT. the POD Pro i got in 2001 still sees some use, but like an earlier poster i also bypass the effects (tho the compressor is good) and tweak the settings up cos the factory programs are ass. btw, Line 6 is blowing out the old style Floorboards (adds...

at the $100 price point, the Sennheiser HD280s win for me.

the rest of the time i'm glad she isn't.

The Beatles - Revolver
Tim Finn - Say It Is So
Steely Dan - Aja

also, some bizarre old Malaysian space disco LP i found while poking about in a bin here in Kuching. never knew this stuff existed. loads of slap echo and wah on the bass and what sounds like phaser on group vocals.
