  1. Test drove this Epi 'mandobird' again last night. At a local Music Go Round so going to wait and see if they drop the price.  

    Cool sound, especially when run through a chorus, other modulations, but not sure I want to pay the $550 they are currently asking.  Fun to play though and just a cool looking instrument.

    I'm trying to get the tone of Buddy Miller's 'mandocaster' at the 2:20 mark of this song.   I have an Ovation mandolin with piezo pickups but it just sounds like a mic'ed up mandolin.

    I can't quit listening this from her newest album.  Not a huge fan of anything else on the album, but I LOVE this one.  She is king of the Whitney Rose, Nikki Lane arena to me, which is a good thing.  

    And I just found this.  (and one of my favorite posts on this board's predecessor.  

     

    Dammit.   She is KIND OF in the Whitney Rose.......    I LOVE me some Whitney Rose.    

     

  3. The Cloudburst is fun to play.  I have a Hall of Fame reverb for basic stuff, but wanted some of the more spacey sounds and it fits the bill.   When I added it, I switched to a  CIOKS DC10 and it seems to play nice with everyone.  And it's only $200.

    Yes.  I absollutely cannot stand what I've heard on the radio, and I've heard a bunch.  I'm definitely not paying money to see him.  Maybe if he opens for my daughter's band?  (I crack myself up, that would be a genre mismatch regardless of my feelings about his music.)

    As always, opinions, assholes.

    Seeing Charley in a live setting is what turned me on to him.  Comments from the folks on either side of me:  "This dude is a live wire" and "He is a fucking minstrel".  

    Most of his recordings don't seem to catch his magic.   Last time I saw him, he was opening for Turnpike.  The group next to us drove from Macon to Atlanta to see him...not Turnpike....then they were going back to Macon the next night to catch him as a headliner.

    +1 for Song for You reference…

    No human female has ever used cardinal directions in a conversation. But yours may even be a little more advanced on the spectrum.

    Mine does all the time.  Problem is, she is wrong about 92.3% of the time.  She once told me to do south, then processed to tell me to turn right, (north).   Rather than argue, I said, "OK.  We will do it your way but when we get to Tennessee, I'm turning around."  Only ended up going about 2 miles before she realized it....and get this....ADMITTED it.

  6. As mentioned above, I still listen to this album multiple times a year.  But last night, I sat down and really listened to it for the first time in a long time.   The entire album is a spiritual ride.

    This song will be sung at my funeral.  What an uplifting message.   And it includes one of my favorite lines of all time:

    "I've got rare '61 Beatles
    I got a film of my dreams"

    Well, if you had the decency to find some complete random stranger to have told her what was needed she would have believed them and done what they said.  Really your fault. 

    If/when my wife ends up the victim of a freak accident, resulting in her untimely demise, this will be the root cause.

    I'm curious why you say "I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott."  I don't know much about their relationship other than Scott seems to be a bit electic and seems to have played with a shit ton of people in his band.   

    Wallinger seemed to have a major impact on the Waterboys overall sound, but to me, they were still a Mike Scott band.   Not that that is a bad thing.  I just liked the changes that Wallinger brought into the Waterboys and was curious what he would be once he got out from under Scott.  Scott still apparently wrote most of the music, but Wallinger's presence really seemed to change the band.   

  9. Remember watching this on Midnight Special and being amazed at the different hair styles.....  I thought, "how do these 5 guys even know each other, much less be in the same band".   I think this album (8 track) might have been in my initial Columbia order.

  10. Goodbye Jumbo is a top 10 album for me.  I still listen to it at least monthly.  So much energy and soul.  This song always seems to full of promise and hope.   I can never hear it enough and the song ends too soon.  
    Fuck...I have been hit by a 'celebrity' death like this since Petty.

  11. Mother Fucker.  After he left The Waterboys, I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott.  Then I heard this song.  I still get the same feeling when I hear it today.....MANY years later.

    • Wife: Booked our flights for my friends wedding
    • Me: Cool, where is it again?
    • Wife: Just outside of DC
    • Me: Great,  I have a good friend in DC that we can stop and see

    Days later after messaging my friend to schedule

    • Me: Why does my flight say Raleigh, NC?
    • Wife: Because that is where the wedding is located
    • Me: Is that near DC to you?
    • Wife: Walks away

    THIS is why this thread was started.  This kind of shit right here.  Well done Mrs. @wackawacka.   We salute you!
