  1. Never let it be said that Boom ever shyed away from defending the veracity of obvious sarcasm. You can install Reaper for free and fix drum mis-hits on day 1. By day 3 you'll be fixing bad notes in your guitar solo. Give it a couple of months and you can join the army of guitar "virtuosos" on YouTube who produce petabytes of sticky sweet error-free guitar playing. Rando chick in pajamas singing on her bed historically didn't have a cheap way to do the same. Now chicks in pajamas singing on their beds can. Democratization son. We haven't had "as played" pop music for decades now. You can disagree and think this is different and AutoTune is an affront to real musicianship, but you're going to just be arguing degrees. And "since the dawn of time" was clearly a reference to the cave paintings in Southern France depicting a Neanderthal music producer cheating like a motherfucker with a tape splicer.
  2. Posting the vid wasn't to get into a convo about the sanctity, or more the complete and total lack thereof, of pop music. Someone just posted a down the middle cover of Dreams so I figured it was more about the hot lead singer than the forgettable rendition of the song. I was just offering the brunette with the killer smile. That vid works just as well on mute, boo the hypocritical provincialities.
  3. The democratization of this technology has finally allowed us to do with voices what we've been doing with instruments since the dawn of creation, or somewhere thereabouts. For all you pure bloods, don't ever read a book about a favorite or admired singer if that singer lived and recorded since the 90s or your entire worldview's gonna have to go flying out the window. (For me, the come to Jesus moment was Reba McEntire.)
  4. True, it is a song released in the last 30 years.
  5. Worth a watch: (That null test tho)
  6. Squadrons on the Oculus was a hit with the kids. I, however, am quite old and damn near threw up twice.
  7. My copy arrived and this thing is something else. It's biblical, but with much better pictures. $36 on Amazon right now and I mean come on. That's a silly good price for what you get.
  8. I'm shocked that Saban doesn't coddle his players. Shocked.
  9. I have that 1st ed Monster Manual and the artwork inside looks like it was done by Napoleon Dynamite. It's awesome.
  10. I'd rank them Mayer, Hula, Simon.
  11. Never gets old. Even stared at the indention it made in the case top for a little bit.
  12. If not Urban Meyer, who cares? Fify
  13. Knew it was imminent but that didn't seem to help. This sucks in a profound way. RIP
  14. One of these day we are going to need to have a serious talk with Deej about his unresolved issues with one Stephen Ray Vaughan. We will overcome this together. We must.
  15. Clearly a gift for creating band names, yet stuck with "Beastie Boys." #bottling
  16. Oh, the relic'ing possibilities!
  17. My daughter sick, dying, and you offer me coupon!?!?!?
  18. Mac Davis just died too. Terrible.
  19. Pet Sounds documents a bona fide genius at the very peak of his game. Hooks and bits that werent good enough to make it into the album became Good Vibrations and God Only Knows is the greatest pop song ever created by man, second only to Ode To Joy as greatest song period. Regardless, that album the bible of the state of the song-crafting art at the height of a 15-or-so year period that gave us the most musically creative our culture has ever been or ever will be again. Pet Sounds will be among the examples we show aliens on why we should not be exterminated. And they will probably agree.
  20. My 5E book collection is almost complete, but the one I'm missing is a pain to find. So if anyone has the ins on a Volo's Guide to Monsters with the Hydro cover, holler atcha boy.
  21. The title immediately make me think of the goober in this video (6:44 mark). What a fucking nightmare.
  22. Well, well, well, how the turntables... https://www.guitarworld.com/news/fender-has-sold-more-guitars-in-2020-than-any-other-year-in-its-history
