  1. Some Reddit person saying that a bad thing is jappening, exercise due skepticism https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/dLp7296eG8
  2. the Pixies are like this but it's .3+.5+.1+.1 = 6
  3. Is this the thread where we've talked about Old 97s a bit? On first listen I like this one more than the first single from the new album. More old school classic rocking 97s as opposed to a Rhett song. The Old 97s are an all time favorite band of mine and I feel like i always complain about them when they come up. Today I'm going to complain about how dumb their artwork has been on every record since Fight Songs. I know they're past the GAF stage and maybe I missed my calling as an asshole A&R guy (and probably they got fucked up by asshole A&R guys earlier in their career) but goddamn have a little bit of consistency and then choose art that matches your vibe. Did Rhett's wife paint this?
  4. You may have misheard - you're probably looking for a fiduciary.
  5. Really I think Martin has done a good job of delivering a quality product at the price point where probably 90% of guitar business exists without killing the brand, the lineup, their reputation. Martin is still the standard.
  6. you're getting a little old for that shit
  7. I'm a left handed person who plays righty, and I'm glad I don't play lefty but I also recognize that there are different kinds of left handedness. For me, if someone had handed me a guitar facing the other direction I would have probably just learned left handed, but I think for some people it's more hard wired and would put them at a disadvantage to do it backwards. Agree about the Streetmaster. I hope I'm not dogging anyone's guitar here but that one never made any sense to me. Even past just the heavily relic'd thing, I've never seen a vintage mahogany Martin that even looks like that. Here's a pretty worn one from 1940- I can kinda see where they get to the streetmaster from there, but it doesn't look the same at all, and plus it has a whole sunburst thing going on which is not part of the 15m aesthetic at all looks like something from hobby lobby
  8. I'm actually a little curious about some of the.... "not just cheap" guitars being built in China. Not really for me because I'm a corksniffing asshole who is as much a collector as a player (and so I'm almost not even interested in owning a Collings much less some offshore brand with no historical provenance), but I keep seeing Eastman, Recording King, Blueridge, etc guitars pop up and I think that they are supposed to offer high quality instruments out of China. I don't really know much (and for example, I only *think* that some of the Recording King models are maybe of a higher grade than their cheaper stuff?), but i'm curious and I know that the Eastman guitars have a pretty solid rep. I have some shoes that follow the model - these aren't cheap, they are quality craftsmanship and materials and marketed as such, but made in China so not as expensive as the American brand. Maybe doing luxury manufacturing with good QC out of China is a new trend generally.
  9. My old Martin DM has laminate back and sides and is still going at almost 30 years old. I love the big Martins but the OOO is such a nice size to play. CoTex, I’m afraid I have to inform you that your guitar is backwards
  10. *edit* wow, leaving in place because we picked the same gif and everything
  11. We’re gonna build a wall - a big, beautiful, wall - we’re gonna build a wall around Jesus’ tomb, and Jesus is going to pay for it.
  12. you mean like Jesus?
  13. Ok stick with me - a Tesla donk with the X branding.
  14. THE NIGHTHAWK AND THE BLUESHAWK https://forum.gibson.com/topic/122756-nighthawk-blueshawk/
  15. It’s the pollening here in Raleigh and we’re getting our asses kicked. It reminded me of this - one year, my wife was just tired all the time. Constantly napping, I think she went to a doctor to find out if something was wrong with her, it was this forever ongoing thing. At some point, I took some Benadryl and said “probably going to sleep well tonight” or something like that, and she gets this serious look on her face and asks why I said that. Apparently she didn’t know that Benadryl caused drowsiness and had been taking it every day.
  16. I remember when Cuba Gooding Jr showed up and I was like "Who is this off-brand Omar motherfucker?" horribly poor taste comedy sketch idea - Kids Gone Wild & Crazy. Just Dan Schneider pitching it to the execs.
  17. There’s that rube talk we were talking about
  18. I think people are less mad about msg these days. But yeah. i do think that using boullion is fairly authentic for Tex Mex
  19. I haven’t even checked the ingredients but I suspect that boullion contains the msg that is sometimes the missing *something* from the more natural ingredient recipes
