  1. One of my favorite Kinks songs. Nope. My favorite Kinks song.
  2. S'up with that hockey-stick headstock hiding in the back there?
  3. My brother pointed me to them last week. A little bit of everything in there. The Cult, Talking Heads, Quiet Riot, The Sweet, Devo, Deep Purple...
  4. I was worried about communicating my desire for a thick neck to Mike on number 96. I sent the specs for my Ibby Paul Gilbert Fireman, which is beefy, but how does a pair of numbers translate, really? Fortunately, on my visit to Shishkov World HQ two summers back, I got to play the Maverick prototype. "This," was my neck request, "this." So he had a reference pretty handy. Just what I wanted. Turns out to be meatier than my Fireman!
  5. Thanks Johnny. I picked up my two favorites- Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. Of note, not all the 180g Beatles there have been given the Giles Martin treatment. I also picked up a Dark Side of the Moon, as I've never had it on Vinyl. I'm a child of the 80s, not the 70s.
  6. For some unknown cosmic reason, this little ditty from my college days in the late 80s in Boston* popped into my head. I hadn't heard it for decades but could sing along to every little line. Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for The Fools! * for those who care, I went to the University of Dayton for 2.5 years, met this girl**, took a year off, and then finished at Northeastern in Boston while staying at my brother's dorm at Bentley College in Waltham. Of note, he ran the Campus Activities Board in those times and brought in The Fools to open up for screaming comic Sam Kinesson. I got to work the "security" detail, which amounted to standing in front of the front row of a two foot riser, free "SECURITY" t-shirt, and getting screamed at point-blank by Sam himself. "AAAUUUGGGHHHHH! AUUUUGGGGHHHH!" ** Mrs. Toadroller.
  7. Some great jazzy pop and audiophile-grade sonics here. You’ll recognize Breakout.
  8. "The Tip" is a world-class industrial design aesthetic.
  9. You could just specialize in headstocks. Why are you diluting your talent across a whole guitar? 😊😊😊
  10. And in the end... you can watch it again:
  11. Watched the first. Listened to a Cheap Trick album today and this jumped out at me from a song.
