Some of that is on a whole ‘nother level. But enough on that. (I’m a lifelong Roman Catholic who lives in Texas. I see it A LOT.)

Dude, it’s not just Silicon Valley. Besides @billd91’s correct observation, there’s also a large percentage of people who have displayed a fundamental lack of understanding of progressive fiction, protest songs and the like. They love the kewl names and grasp the aggressive tones, but fail to...

Buried in the fine print:

Based on your description, YOUR Patches was probably not STEENKEENG. No dishonor upon her!

I just found out a few minutes ago that gemologist Bill Vance passed away in mid-March. I was a frequent customer and occasional collaborator of his. Even as you could see the years taking their toll, he was always humorous & energetic, and more often than not, he was happy to educate you on...

Part of the reason the pedals were arranged that way is because I could only find my shortest cables, and the pedals wouldn’t fit together in any other order because of were the inputs & outputs were.

Almost bought another watch today. It was a rectangular Bullova with a blue face. It is being discontinued, apparently, so it was over $100 off. When I tried it on, I could understand why it was being discontinued. Its metal strap was good looking- it really worked well with the watch’s...

Give your AI a “safe word”.

The signal was totally destroyed. However, you could still hear elements from each pedal trying to assert themselves above & beyond the general cacophony. So I could easily see how dialing certain knobs back and/or cranking others could get you something wicked and tasty.

1) EHX Epitome 2) Keeley Jimi Hazel EchoPhase 3) Catalinbread Perseus 4) Catalinbread EchoRec 5) TWA Little Dipper 6) TWA Triskelion 7) Black Arts Toneworks Sarcophagus That’s a LOT of synth, dirt & envelopes in one short signal path.

A guitarist on another board just showed me this: I’m in luv!

Let me introduce you to my “pedal clump”: I assembled this & photographed it at 2AM one day to enter a “pretty pedals” contest. I won. (No prize, just accolades.) FWIW, when asked what it sounded like, I said it was like “useful ass”. To clarify, it sounded terrible, but in a way that it...

That was sorta me in my 30s. After years of having “high normal” BP, I suddenly had BP readings of 200+/200+, completely asymptomatic. (That is NOT a typo.) After noting my diet was already considered to be “low sodium”, they tested me for EVERYTHING. My MD called me in and said my results...

You’re in my brain! I’ve been yakking about getting Holey Boards since they were curved.

I have a fine selection:

FWIW, Bill Alexander- the guy who taught Bob Ross- was German. After many years of teaching painting on PBS and in person, he eventually handed the palette over to his student, Bob.

Sometimes, you gotta buy the boring stuff to enjoy the fun stuff.🤷🏾‍♂️ I waaaay behind on getting enough decent cables, and I’ve been waffling for YEARS about actually assembling a pedalboard.

It’s not sexy, but tonight, I ordered a new practice stool. After years of use, my old one is falling apart Actually, I ordered 2: one is a duplicate of the one that’s dying, the 2nd is similar, but from a different company, and has a contoured seat. Both were slightly discounted, and I...

In other news… The rose gold Festina watch my Mom gave me years ago has died the death. The watch repairer opened it up, and it was beyond repair. Hell, one of the subsections on the face under the crystal just…detached. So today I replaced it with a rose gold Citizen. Macy’s were having a 30%...
