  1. Very cool. Yeah that’s a lot of wood for a load-in/load-out for a Thursday night gig at Ego’s…. but in a studio… nice.
  2. Yes, they sure as shit do. Put that 13” over to the left and keep the 16” in the floor and I’d be heaven. Then make some kinda of super high pitched, snared piccolo/roto/timbale out of the 12” tom and put it off to the left of your hihat. (Also, that floor tom looks really deep - curious what the dimensions are). Anywho, Fuck Yeah to that kit. Well done. I’m realizing that my recent dalliance into songwriting has me slacking off on purchasing new drum stuff. Rock on, Runge!
  3. It’s greater than even odds I could have been at this show. I didn’t miss them much whenever they played at VV or Blue back in that era between 2002 and 2006 or so.
  4. I need to go down a rabbit hole and find some older ones but in the meantime here’s this:
  5. Good call on David King. I’ve seen him a few dozen times and he is a) all over the place, b) never where you expect him to be and c) always right on the money. Keeps the BP still sounding like themselves even after Ethan. I’m not a jazz guy but “Never Stop” and/or “Vistas” would be desert island records for me.
  6. And with Darren’s help, someday we’ll get that chicken!
  7. If we deliver to you, then what? Eighty-fifth Street, Wall Street, Mexico, Eighty-fourth Street?
  8. Yep. At least according to Seinfeldscripts.com. It was close enough that it fooled me though. Either way, it’s an amazingly astute catch by you as one of our resident true experts in Seinfeldology. I only knew it because I happened to just watch it. (And it’s a really great episode). I also remember subconsciously having a quizzical reaction. Like Farbman was too familiar but I never put my finger on it. So, kudos, fellow nerd!
  9. ETA: just looked up the script and we are one letter off
  10. I won’t give it away but I bet the other Farbman was breathtaking. (I just watched this episode).
  11. On a related note, all of Susanna Hoffs’ latest videos on IG she’s playing a little sunburst Guild and it sounds awesome. Or at least I think it does - for some reason it’s hard to pay attention with my ears.
  12. So, since the "email group" and this world are colliding, here's the song I had done for last month with a few small edits based on some of y'all's feedback. This song's about finding yourself lost and struggling and having to face reality with failure and addiction and pride all having you wasting your days.... Real light stuff. I'm hoping to get started on November's soon. And yeah, Celery and Sidis, the more I listen to both of yours, the more I love 'em. True for the whole group, really.
  13. Yeah today I played some Martins and Taylors today and really loved both. Need to spend some more time but between the entry-ish level up to mid level guitars the difference was negligible. I also played a Guild that was really nice and had a great sound.
  14. So I know it’s probably been discussed many times over but I’m looking to upgrade the Yamaha 730 acoustic that I’ve had for the last 10 years. (Btw, it is and has been a fantastic guitar). As I’m still what I would call an advanced beginner, I don’t want to invest yet in a higher end guitar. Just want something that’s playable and sounds good and nice enough to keep me coming back to it. Looking for something in a concert/auditorium or 00/000 size and ideally acoustic electric. I’ve played lower end Martín and Guild and Taylors and liked them all. If you had max $1000-1200 where would you start?
  15. Son of dad? Yeah that was my suggestion. Sort of a catch all.
  16. Green fuckin’ drums? Check. Offset rack toms? Check. Psychedelic blanket up top? Check. T-shirts randomly stuffed in places that seem like they will serve a purpose? Check. Let’s rock.
  17. That picture is capturing a person in cognitive decline, if not dementia or psychotic delusion. I have little sympathy but it’s still sad. There was a time - granted, it was decades back - when Roseanne was considered original and creative and witty. She was subversive and counter-culture to what was then an aspirant class of, I guess, yuppies? Now it’s just a sad grasp at fading relevance and a headband that inexplicably matches an inexplicably polka dotted dress.
  18. Ewwww, Mr. Apple. You have a brown spot!
  19. We don’t mind. Keeping a low profile is how we steal all your girlfriends….
  20. Oh yeah? How’d that work out for Ms. Rebecca Howe?
  21. Is any of this what’s going on with the Shen Yun weirdos all over NYC? Those folks are definitely engaged in shenani….
  22. I’ve heard reports of sarcasm meters being affected by recent sunspot activity. I’m not sure if mine is on the fritz. I do hope it’s the sunspot thing….
  23. That kit looks awesome under the lights… And the tilted toms just reflect even more!
