"What? Nothing to do with us..."

Last biopsy came back negative, so the year of the dermatologist ends with a chemo cream/peel on the old bald scalp as soon as the last couple of liquid nitrogen burns heal. 2023 - four surgeries, a lot of freeze and scrapes, almost done.

A lot of what the various liked about FZ, all in one quick cut (incl. one of my favorite solos) - spin one up today in memory of someone who was always stubbornly himself:

@feloneouscat Empty words from the Empty Suit.

Sorry, Epiphone, but who the actual thinks an Olive Drab Firebird is attractive?
Doesn't anybody at Gibson have filters?

@GaryPoole Good Morning, leaping gnome!

Happy December 1 - It's Bandcamp Friday! Meaning your favorite musicians can get just a little more from your CD or download purchase - 1 CD nets more than 1500 streams! All the CDs in my shop are same price as download + under-cost s&h (and you get the download as well) - gotta make room for the next!
Support your favorite indie and pick up a stocking stuffer or 2!

@gshevlin King of self-owns owns self.

Awaiting all the news reports referring to Kissinger's legacy as "problematic," which understates the case by several orders of magnitude....

Okay, wet blanket here. Your Spotify wrapped is a nice opportunity to put a bow on that relationship and move on, because very soon they will cease paying small timers like me (and, quite likely, someone you know and like, esp. deep cuts) and funnel all that money up to the big guys, under a false pretense of preventing fraud. Other apps sound better (Tidal, Qobuz, e.g.) and will not be stealing from the little guy, esp. if listeners show their disapproval of the Green Death Star.

@ceruleanbagel In that case, whatever inspires you to play! Generally, things that lead to you songs will sustain better than things that are focused on drills - there's a way of choosing song-based material that still can create a progression of learning. The occasional technical drill is ok, but making music is more inspiring! The first rule is have fun - no one calls it working music - play!

@ceruleanbagel The biggest problem with any app or online instruction is that it can't see what you're doing. There are physical holes to step in at the beginning that can really hold you back. If you can get even just a few sessions with an experienced teacher who can guide your physical approach, everything else will come much more easily.

Ok, CoSo fam, guess it's time to let you know I have a "seasonal" track out there - (from 2015...this is the one that pays the aggregator bill 😅) Available wherever you stream (bandcamp link for download, should you be so generous, on website in bio).

@coffeeandhoney It's the giant noses on these rolling condos that really make it bad. I renew my call for a monster snoot tax.

@redenigma oops....I have a Grainger closer than HD, so that's not a problem. Sorry for your problem. We used to have Vicks, Homesick, etc - the evaporative always died quickly, can't take the white dust from electrostatics (ever try cleaning it out of all the nooks and crannies of an electric guitar?).

@redenigma Gave up on the usual outlets and bought a couple of AirCare units from Grainger. Floor model for the music room and "tabletop" (still pretty big) for the bedroom. Have humidity sensor built it, multi-speed, both use the same filter. Simple evaporative units.

@MotherDucker I get this every year, and having the same problem - can't get into PCP, and urgent care won't bring the big guns...

@mrk It's a Gretsch Falcon, in the hands of the late Michael Rhodes.
Haven't played one, but would love to.

@LnzyHou If only...
