I got travel scrabble
I can only envision trying to teach a caveman how to play scrabble like in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I'll add to the list, I actually got it in November but a couple people in my family helped me put money down to buy a house. So I got a house for Christmas.

So yeah, that CD sounds awesome. Very diverse, the 4 or 5th song could have been a Beck song, it had that lyrically feel. If I get around to it I will post it here for sure. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, yeah, I have definitely come to the conclusion I need bass traps. I had a friend over with good ears and we played some familiar music and while listen I adjusted the eq on the track. While its not the best way to judge, I noticed that adding bass made things sound better so I assumed it was...

Anyone read the "Daily Adventures of Mixer Man"? in one of the chapters he they are video recording the session and he makes a big deal about wearing something that will make him look like the stereotypically "engineer" then feels like an idiot all day. Just reminded me of that.

I have a Blue dano Convertable (same shape as the ones pictured but a single pickup and a sound hole). I'd love to get a matching ba...
