This song perfectly expresses the overwhelming ambivalence I feel about the holidays. Â I revisit it every year.
"I get freaked out by churches.
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords (but the lyrics are dodgy).
And yes, I have all of the usual objections to the mis-education of children, who (in tax-exempt institutions) are taught to externalize blame, and to feel ashamed, and to judge things as plain right or wrong.
But I quite like the songs."

Also, I dig the Les Caster and the off-white Tele. Â
Well done. Â

Chelsea just bugged me about maybe a Marshall mini amp for her brother and I said "oh those aren't that cool" and she got all sullen and now I feel terrible. Â
Songwriter girl I know once asked me what I thought about Elixir strings.  This was like 12-13 years ago when coated strings were a new-ish thing.  And I said, âYeah, they sound really mediocre for a really long time.  I suppose theyâre fine if youâre a beginner or if youâre not good at changing strings... but if I was going in a studio tomorrow to record my masterpiece, that is definitely not the strings Iâd put on my guitar.â
And then she got quiet.  And I was soon told that she had just spent essentially all her money to go into a studio to record her masterpiece... with Elixir strings. Â
Me and my fucking mouth. Â

You canât hear it on the YouTube video, but if you go to a streaming site and play the song, you hear almost the same sound right at the top of the song (like before the first note of the acoustic). Â
Iâd guess that somebodyâs headphone cable tapped against the mic stand, or a wood chair made a pop, or something else in the room that weâd have a hard time guessing.  Itâs not in her vocal, and I doubt itâs an artifact from an amateurish digital edit. Â
Iâm kind of happy they left it in. Â As yâall know, itâs pretty easy these days to make something hypertuned, grid-perfect, uber-clean, and in that process, absent of emotional content. Â
I mean, truthfully, Iâll bet you could get it out pretty easily with izotope or several other noise reduction programs.Â

That inauguration article is unbelievable. Â Â
The first family of crime  was diverting millions to themselves before the Criminal in Chief even took a fucking oath. Â
I mean, they committed more felonies during the fucking transition period than all admins in the past 50 fucking years.  Almost every damn one of them was lying to the FBI while Trump AND Pence were willfully ignoring Michael Flynnâs fucking treason. Â
âDeplorableâ doesnât even begin to describe it. Â

Also, this thread reminds me of the podcast, âyour favorite band sucks.â

Several good mentions: Â Doors, Bad Company
Got to add: Â Santana
The whole âhippy foreverâ flowing robes and âpeace, manâ stuff just annoys the shit out of me.  I donât know if theyâre still touring, but if they are, I hope their airplane crashes into Courtney Barnettâs shitty bus. Â

Of course, itâs significant. During the campaign, The Apprentice was used as a qualification for the presidency and by not just a few people. I recall people on tv pointing to that as an example of his leadership skills. A fucking tv show. Insanity.Â
The producers of "Apprentice" talked about showing up to the offices in Trump Tower in the early stages of show development, and being kind of shocked at how run-down the Trump offices were.  Everything seemed cheap and shabby and outdated.  The network had to get in there and build/furnish the upscale "board room" that was used for the set. Â
Trump was never what they presented on the show.  He was a short-fingered vulgarian carnival barker who defrauded investors, ran a fake charity that specialized in self-dealing, and was eager to work with global oligarchs looking to legitimize dirty money.

This idiotâs presidential library is going to be almost exactly like the Costco in Idiocracy.
Serious question, and sorry if already discussed: what so-called university would embrace a lying, immoral grifter who hates science, cannot spell, and was demonstrably treasonous to the country?
Liberty University?  Are the self proclaimed followers of Christâs teaching going to be the group who champions (hosts the âlibraryâ) of the man who acted antithetically to those teachings for every moment of his life?

Does anyone else find it incredibly creepy that Dotus gives a shout out to Ohrâs wife in one of his morning shit tweets?
ÂSIAP... I'm a page and a half behind on this thread.
But he got Ohr's wife's name completely wrong.

Speaking of ukeleles, anyone have a rec on a good one for a beginner 12yo girl?
Kiddo wants to learn, so I made a deal that I would get her one if she agreed to a year of piano lessons.Obviously, she should play whatever motivates her to practice and get better. Â That said, would she be receptive to learning mandolin? Â Just seems like it could work out better long-term, plus she'd be learning violin notes/tuning/etc.

I mean, was there any doubt how this fucking Cleveland Brain Trust draft pick was going to work out?

Not a fan of relic'd guitars and I'm surprised the trend has gone on for so long and shows no sign of slowing down.
Agree with all of this.Â
And like Celery's strat, I've got a couple guitars with hundreds of hours on them that still look pretty clean. Â I can't imagine beating the shit out of a guitar to get to the condition of some of these "heavy" relic models. Â I mean, I'd have to wear spiked leather bracelets and gloves with 60 grit sandpaper. Â

I'm gonna have to get a Nash one day. I went to Infinity Guitars this week and sampled 4 amps. Instead of some MIM strat with fucked up action, IÂ was handed a Nash T-52 to test them out. I freaking love that place. There isn't a piece of trash in the entire store. This is a pic of the axe:
I know a guy who has a Nash tele that looks pretty much identical to this one and it sounds GREAT.  I never knew or cared too much for the brand, but the only one I've heard in-person sounds freaking fantastic, and I don't think they're crazy expensive as "boutique" guitars go...

Yes. Â His next sentence about Trump not even being âthe issue anymore,â is even more profoundly incorrect. Â

I had the same thought. Seemed like any other play where the QB fumbles the snap and then picks it up.Â
There's no freeze frame where Mond is down AND possesses the ball simultaneously.
And that was REVERSED.

Nunes is a traitor. Â
Or, at the very least, he devotes every waking moment to abetting traitors and helping them cover the footprints of treason.
