Non-Music Shit / Re: anyone here who currently lives in denton?

I live in Weatherford, which is about 45 minutes away.  I've never lived in Denton, but have seen tons of shows up there...it always seemed like a pretty cool place to me.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Distortion/Overdrive Pedals

« on: November 15, 2007, 10:22:45 PM »

I haven't heard anything about any of the tube-based overdrive pedals, but my gut feeling is that a person should stick with solid-state pedals and let the tubes in the amp do their thing.

Pretty much all tube amps these days use 12AX7s in the preamp and either 6L6s or EL34s in the power amp - all three tubes can be easily found online or in most music stores, and they're relatively inexpensive...so no worries there.

Music Shit / Re: record value question (Zeke 7"s)

I gave a copy of the double 7" away once, oblivious to the fact that there are people in the world who would pay good money for a Zeke record.

My favorite part is when Sweet Dee is watching cartoons with Kevin. It's hilarious.

Yeah it is!  The part where he's laughing and eating popcorn where they do a closeup of his mouth is unbelievable!

I can't believe nobody has voted for Loose Nut.  I almost did, but Damaged is obviously the better LP.  Love the jazz influence on Loose Nut.

They have universal power supplies you can buy now that you can set for a wide range of voltages and currents, and come with a set of interchangeable jacks that should fit just about any application imaginable.  They cost like $15-$20.

Music Shit / Alvin & the Chipmunks on SST

« on: October 11, 2007, 10:43:08 PM »

I stumbled onto Alvin & the Chipmunks discography, and it says they released an LP on SST Records in 1993 (Alternative Alvin - SST 226).  Does anybody know anything about this?  Did they do "Nervous Breakdown"?  Is this shit for real???

Darlington used to be called Mess and had at least one good song during that period ("NASA").  Saw them with the Motards and the Boozers in Dallas.

Check out Doug Stanhope...motherfucker is usually hilarious, and his observations are usually dead-on.

I also third Patton Oswalt, and I find Sarah Silverman riotously funny as well.

Non-Music Shit / Re: record pressing, defects, damage, & shipping

« on: August 18, 2007, 11:45:15 PM »

Yep.  When I got the This Damn Town/Guilty Hearts split 7"s from United, quite a few of them were warped from the Texas heat...they replaced the damaged copies free of charge, but it was still a pain in the ass.
