The Guitar Pron Thread
My thought is that neck radius is the most over-analyzed aspect of a guitar. Lots of wasted brain power on something ultimately so insignificant.

Funniest movie of the last five years. Go.
This Is The End took some chances and surprised me with how well it turned out. Bad Words is one of the best comedies from the last 15 years, much less 5. Thor Ragnarok and Deadpool highlight the evolution of the action comedy and the death of the straight comedy. Deadpool 2, as well (despite Brolin's charisma black hole).

Speaking of, did any of you happen to catch the High Fidelity forum at Bass with John Cusack this past week?

He's a Sphynx. The only real hair he has is on his nose. The rest feels like peach fuzz. And a big Rocky Burnette fan.

Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's
That article was better when he titled it "no need to pump the breaks..." before he corrected it. Much more accurately aggy.

Probably, for at least some of that. He boosts with Xotic's EP booster, but he adds drive with all kinds of stuff. If I had to guess, I'd go D&M Drive or maybe Plimsoul. He's also keen to drive with the bare amp, and the HRD IV is supposed to have an updated killer drive channel. Edit: Ah! He's not using a King of Tone clone like the D&M Drive, he's using an actual King of Tone.

Country Western Appreciation
I was raised on country music, mostly 70s and 80s glamour cowboy stuff - Ronnie, Kenny, T.G. Shepard, Eddie Rabbitt, John Conlee, Anne Murray, Janie Fricke, that kind of stuff. But I grew to like just about everything country up until the genre died in the late 90s. RIP Of course I dig the Outlaws, too. Ran into this hoss in Mesa, Arizona:

"Pete used a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV and Lee a Milkman Dairy Air into a Victory 2x12 cabinet." Pete Honoré, the dude on the right, makes just about anything wail, but he's particularly on with that Tele and HRD. Amazing tone.

Depeche Mode
I'm a DM & Flood fan. Anything pre or post, meh. Violator is an all-time great album. I'd put it up there with Master Of Puppets and Girl You Know It's True.

I bought Devotional on LaserDisc before I even had a LaserDisc player. That concert is still in my Top 10 all-time greatest gigs.

I don't get the Bonamassa hate. I get that he's not the most soulful player, but so what? It's still possible to enjoy and appreciate what he does do even though listening isn't some sort of religious experience. To wit: I don't care what you say. That was damn enjoyable. It even has Jack Nicholson on sax. Fuck you.

Bit the bullet on my first adult record player, Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon. I upgraded to the acrylic platter but not gonna touch the stylus until I do more research. The Ortofon Red it comes with should tide me over till it doesn't. Have the Pro-Ject dust cover coming over from Germany, but probably should have just opted for a generic so I don't have to wait. I have Pro-Ject leather mat, but am thinking I need the Pro-Ject weight just to complete the set. The records are all out of storage and most are in the Expedit shelves. When it's all set up I'll post pics. I love seeing other setups, so I should probably share...

Texas recruiting notes 2019
The staff pulled a Black Lotus on their opening draw with this visit. Herman and co. spawned right next to a legendary SCAR when he arrived for his official. I'm told his experience was a perfect power loop and yaw spin. In talking with someone close to the situation, his unofficial was finding a T206 Honus Wagner in the attic.
