Nope, and it's not because I can do that thing that Aaron did with the heel of his hand on the knob that's right there by his strumming hand, it's because I haven't worked up to it that good yet. I keep my volume just plain down for now. My next pedal: Futanari pedal

Yeah, you obviously have some knowledge to impart (please don't part with it, I'm not sure what we'd do with it...), but please don't take attacks as personal, we correct each other all the time, and the best way to deal with it is with a thick skin. (notes spritzer's black-on-gold avatar)

Anyone heard of Byzantine? I am immediately smitten with their guitar chunkiness and their sense of humour, and apparently they're only one state over, so hopefully I will have a chance to see them live. Come on, their kickstarter pledgemusic is so close (telepathically urges people to discover them in time).

Heavy metal almost funded and only 2 days to go

Corner loading is where it's at.

Klayton -- this is like distilled adrenalin -- not something one should normally take more than one shot of, for example.

I heard the 6 is going to be bigger.

Way Huge Echo-Puss, Aqua-Puss, or Supa-Puss? You don't want a Swollen Pickle, that's not your thing Strymon Blue Sky or Big Sky (reverbs)? Phaser? Chorus?

EDIT: they were awesome -- they have a couple songs that are >50% instrumental, so I think they can be counted as a "jam band". Might've been my favourite rendition of Ice yet -- during the middle portion, two of the guitarists just froze while the keyboard played for a couple minutes, and slowly all the guitarists started playing. It was kind of postrocky. And they played a couple songs I hadn't heard live before (Robots for Ronnie, A Night on the Town (with Snow White), Long Nights, A Sea Epic). I realize they don't play very far from Baltimore any more, but highly recommended.

Waiting to see Crack the Sky.

I totally dig it. I think it's the best thing they've done. But I've always hated cookie monster vocals. It's just one note, there's nothing musical about it. I do have to admit, though, it's nothing like anything from the golden lineup of Akerfeldt, Lindgren, Mendez, Lopez, which was kind of a bizarre combination (in being half Swedish, half Uruguyan) and magical. But that stopped being magical when Akerfeldt became the focal point of the band. Kayo Dot appear to be heading in a similar direction (less extreme).

And there's no way to run it off an external power source? Yeah, that might get inconveniently timed..

I would get the balcony not just for the grill, but because there are just some things you don't want indoors (e.g. painting vapors, gas cans when between cars, decomposing bodies).

>_< You know I like Colourfield a lot more than Fun Boy Three, but damn were they catchy.

Yeah, found that out. Silly salesman.

Sharing a grill with the commonfolk would require charcoal.

It was my understanding that there is no such thing as a king mattress -- just two twinses and some sort of even-ing thingy. EDIT: (wanders off to find out I am wrong)

Fish 'n' chips? [/rhetorical question]

Congrats!

4 day weekend last minute decision here, too.

Is Head-Fi down again?

I has red laptop, does that count?

Thanks, will do. I don't think those are mirrors, I think those are high-gloss "piano" black. Look, for example, what it's reflecting that you can see.
