Well...to go off on a tangent -- tapping is tapping, so they're all inter-related. Tapping on guitar is much harder than it is on the Stick, the Stick is actually designed for tapping. In fact, even my NS/Stick -- which is technically designed to be played either with tapping or with picking -- it's easier to just tap all the time, when I want to practice picking or strumming, I don't go for the NS/Stick. So that may be why the two might seem decoupled, because one doesn't really inform the other.

Nightmare on Elm Street comedy? I don’t consider the 3rd one comedy, never saw 4 onwards. Army of the Dead (3) was definitely a comedy.

But if you preorder the album now, you can buy tickets for October November tour dates in EU UK.

This one hurts, I’ve spoken with him, and hoped to speak with him again. What a visionary. https://guitar.com/news/gear-news/emmett-chapman-musician-inventor-chapman-stick-dies-85/

New Porcupine Tree

Really? What about the second one? It's basically horror comedy. Especially that whole 3 Stooges / hand scene. Re: Ash vs. Evil Dead -- How are you liking it? I enjoyed it when I watched it, but stopped for some reason (not sure why -- I think maybe because of something completely unrelated to the show).

What kind of music?

Condolences, Todd.

One of my favourite recent discoveries! So great. Instantly purchased. Me: Having my mind blown by new release First Fragment, Gloire Eternelle, amongst others (Mastodon! Archspire!) :

except pink/blue/yellow/whathaveyou. Or raw. I'm not your supervisor, I'm not the boss of you.

Condolences, and fuck cancer.

Happy birthday, Marc! (party favour noise)

Thank you, everyone!

I've been bingeing on Ringo Sheena and Incidents Tokyo videos recently:

Hey, did you ever see Voivod? I have come to the realization in the last couple years that I love Voivod inordinately much (more than Opeth, more than Gojira, more than Within Temptation, more than Epica,...not sure if more than Katatonia, though), and I just found out they were at 70,000 Tons of Metal in 2018, did you go that year and did you catch them? Just curious.

I wish they enforced that “keep the box clear” law around here.

Nice jammies, and nice jams

The price is going to be...I hesitate to say, 'incalculable'...

Mother Nature didn't call Miss Utility?

Planet P Project, Pink World -- easily the most under-rated of all double-record concept albums. Very dated production, but the riffs rock. "Everywhere you look you can see his face." "It's a little like Santa Claus faded to pink." "We've got the cutest little cameras hanging everywhere oh yeah...after a while you just forget they're there oh yeah..."
