Non-Music Shit / Re: Name Brand Guitars

The opening bid was $795. The $1300 is because of those bidding on it.
Also, I doubt placing a guitar near a flame would cause the bottom of the neck to blow out like it did.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Things I Hate Thread
« on: June 24, 2009, 10:13:04 PM »fedex arriving with only two of my six packages
fedex telling me that most are in NEw Jersey
Fed Ex also telling me that they are going to charge me for "rerouting" when they didn't apply the correct address to my shipment in the first place
Fed Ex telling me that they cannot find one of my boxes
Fed Ex
My mom gets some medication that requires refrigeration shipped to her via fed ex and they fuck it up every time. It's incredible how something that requires her signature, with a huge neon green sticker announcing its need to be refrigerated, winds up sitting on her front porch in the hot sun every week. Try ringing the doorbell mofos.

Tried to go to the Indy show last night. Bartender told us we showed up about 7 hours late. Who books an afternoon show on Father's Day and then doesn't promote the early start time?
Really bummed.

Non-Music Shit / Re: digital recorders
« on: June 21, 2009, 02:43:31 PM »
A multi-track digital recorder doesn't really seem ideal for recording a lecture.
I've got an Olympus VN-4100, which is basically the digital equivalent of a mini-cassette recorder. Holds something like 140 hours. Very easy to use. Got it at Radio Shack for around $50. They had cheaper ones too.

I'll give em their due from the late 90's on, but there's a number of people that can be credited with doing great stuff during that time. And their locations are numerous. I think it'd be foolish to consider the guys from Pittsburgh to be the defining players of the era when there's so many great early and late 90's freight writers.
Even when the 2000's hit and everybody was doing freights, it'd be real hard for me to dismiss a bunch of other folks and cities that were cranking out hot pieces in high quantity.
As far as the earliest freights I've seen, thought they happened about 5 hours away, but I wouldn't say they were really considered particularly valid at the time.
And back to my point, we're talking about city oriented property damage here, Pittsburgh, really? The Heart of the Graffiti Nation? Just pointing out how sensationalized that sounds, but again it was said by a cop.

Jesus christ. 2 and a half to 5 years? In prison? Ridiculous.
Property damage is far from the sorta crime that requires imprisonment.
That cop referring to Pittsburgh as the "heart of the graffiti nation" has gotta be the stupidest thing ever. SF? NYC? Does Pittsburgh even come close?

Hey Claire,
Definitely remember sending yours out. Pretty sure it went media mail. Let's give it until the end of the week and if it hasn't arrived by then, gimme a hollar and we'll get another package out to you.

Music Shit / Re: More Shit to Shit On, Redux: Tyvek in Dusted
« on: June 03, 2009, 07:28:42 AM »
It's well established that music journalists, or whatever you'd like to call them, make a lot of assumptions and rarely fact check. So let's just be glad that Tyvek got a little notice somewhere.
Pretty weird it's being picked apart by you guys, when even the reviews posted here frequently contain factual errors. Just saying.

In the past couple of years, there has been a sudden influx of bands mixing bubblegum pop with fuzzed-out noise rock, including Wavves, Vivian Girls, and the Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
First Base, an anonymous one-man band from Ontario, has received none of the publicity of the bands listed above, but his sugary lo-fi pop is just as infectious. Recorded using the most rudimentary methods (Windows Sound Recorder), First Base juxtaposes dirty electric guitars against goofy toy keyboards and then cranks the volume until it all distorts. The lyrics are rendered almost indecipherable by thick vocal harmonies, which bring to mind the Beach Boys run through a fuzzy PA system. There?s even a dash of rockabilly thrown in for good measure; it might be called the blues, if only it weren?t so euphorically happy.
The band does not yet have an album, but released a cassette single through Pizza Party Records, which promply sold out. The MySpace tunes are updated regularly, so check back frequently to hear the latest. Especially make sure to listen to ?First Base,? a perfect summer pop song with a driving electronic drumbeat doubtless culled from a cheap keyboard?s pre-set beats. As much as I love Belle & Sebastian, this is the best eponymously-titled song I?ve ever heard.
