@AskNick First attempted cut.

Among other observances, it's the 54th of the concert that gave us Live at Leeds.
A good day to play it loud.
(Crackling noises ok, do not correct!)

So, a new amp is being built, but in the meantime, after seeing Uncle Larry shoot it out with his old ODR-1, I picked up the new 30th anniversary Nobels...
and yeah, I'll be ditching a couple of old overdrives.

@LiberalLibrarian Forever fiercely out of bounds...

I, for one, will miss Mojo Nixon.

Cruel times, these...
(and every other, really, but here we are...)

@tgraph52 Paxton: Trump wouldn't have carried Texas if we hadn't put the fix in.
The rot is at the top.

@catlynne333 Paralysis is their sole purpose....

@agitated_trash What about Hoyt?

@CanisPundit Wanted to hear it. No heady expectations. You can hear hints of where Lennon might have gone with the raw material over time, which may be as much as one could realistically hope. A pleasant, Paulified few minutes - without the chance for development from JL and the real-time interaction that made the original stuff crackle, not sure what more to expect.

@tgraph52 sale price on that Strat translates to a little under $1600. in 2024 dollars - about what an American Pro II would go for now. (Don't bother comparing amps - F doesn't make 'em like that anymore...).

You may have noticed that it's a #BandcampFriday - for your consideration:
all CDs + download same price as download (+ modest s&h) at theislen.bandcamp.com !
(and it helps clear a little space in the hall...) (Yes, I'll sign them!)

@northernbassist The energy in this take: Dee and Nigel playing with abandon like in the trio recordings...(and interesting how much of Buckmaster's later string arrangement is presaged in Ronson's playing here...).

@WeThePeople Chamber of Commerce saying the quiet part out loud.

@tgraph52 Seeing that makes me think of this (that final line...)

If you're not familiar with The Yes Men, this recent project gives a pretty fair entry into the realm of "identity correction."

@Ellico2020bis It's an adventure...

American politics has degenerated into a debate as to whether or not White Males can treat everyone who is not a White Male like shit.
As a society, this is not sustainable.
