  1. I have played the guitar for 40 years. I can fake my way through almost anything if I give it enough practice time. I have never, ever, ever played any SRV song and make it sound anything remotely close to his originals. Even if I play the song or solo note for note, it just doesn't sound right. The guy was touched with something most of us don't possess and can't access.
  2. I still hate you for that. I mean not really, but man that was rough.
  3. That is incredible.
  4. Pretty cool still from that Hawai'i video the OP posted. Always love seeing the cheerleader riding the surfboard as the team enters the stadium. Also, even though it's due to total ineptitude, it is a pretty cool opportunity to see the games at that tiny field for the next few years.
  5. I'm good with Blag being a dick. Punk needs assholes running the show. Last time I saw them he ended the show by fighting some dude from the crowd and then throwing the drum kit off stage. I think it was during Fuck You up and Get High. On point. I've seen Paul many times and am very excited about this last run. Every show I've seen has been killer. The guy was made to be on stage. I've also got a ticket to his preshow soundcheck, which is essentially another hour long show of b-sides and buried deep tracks. The guy is amazing. Glad you saw him at ACL; heard that was a great show.
  6. Leinart's been a pretty good sport about things -- seems like a decent dude.
  7. Upcoming slate (one of these is not like the other): Blackbraid Avatar GWAR / Dwarves McCartney
  8. The spit coming out of that guys face is like the left-hand side of Pipeline when it's firing.
  9. Dammit, is CJ going to be my favorite player now? Probably so. What a badass.
  10. Apparently they aren't allowed to show the photo for Gavin Gooding, age 17, presumably because he's a minor. So we will never know the true identity of Gavin Gooding, age 17, even with his name and age posted on the WFLA website. I'm sure that Gavin Gooding, age 17, is comforted by his anonymity.
  11. So that's what that was referencing? Good grief, no wonder I didn't get it.
  12. Can't recommend this highly enough. Conan and Howard are clearly both big fans, but Conan has a special reverence for Candy.
  13. I don't know what the fuck that post is supposed to reference.
  14. New Blackbraid is sick. Son and I have tickets in Denver; can't wait.
  15. (actual photo from the Alpine Sleigh Ride; unsure if that's SL Xpress in the incredible Yeti costume)
  16. Good on you, Imma. That's badass. I still appreciate the challenge of 20,250 and am still on track for that. I'll surpass 12,500 after I knock out today's reps. Wife also appreciates the results, so that's a bonus.
  17. I assume our OL will have some big problems -- QB protection given their relative inexperience vs a very good OSU pash rush, and penalties given the home crowd in the Shoe. I am expecting a pretty ugly game all around, with Texas trying to get a running game established. If they can get a consistent run game going, I like our chances. I'm not as optimistic as others about winning that game, but I also have to remember that our DL will likely be very effective against their unproven QBs (which should limit OSU's biggest offensive advantage -- their receivers). That will be huge for us, and I think our defensive advantages should be enough to overcome our OL concerns. If our OL can just avoid penalties and play solid, consistent football and get an adequate run game going, I feel good about us winning.
  18. All I know is that when I watched us play Houston and saw Golden go off several times against us, I thought "That's the guy that Sark needs to poach."
  19. We really got such a big break for scheduling perennial power and returning national champion OSU on their home field as our opener. Texas always gets the big breaks.
