Jennifer Finch, the bassist, vocalist and songwriter whose ferocious presence helped power L7 through the ’90s alternative-rock boom, has died. She was 59. Finch died following an aggressive form of brain cancer, according to a statement announcing her death. L7 paid tribute to Finch in a statement, writing, “We are shattered by the loss of our beloved bandmate, sister and friend Jennifer Finch, whose fierce spirit, humor and boundless creativity helped shape L7 and changed all of our lives forever.” “Jennifer was a true original who lived entirely on her own terms, and the impact she made on music, art and everyone lucky enough to know her cannot be measured,” the band continued. “We love her beyond words and will carry her with us always. Rest in power our dear friend.” The statement was signed, “With Love, L7.” Finch’s death comes shortly after L7 shared that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and would be unable to join the band’s upcoming farewell tour. The band said at the time that she required extensive medical care, rehabilitation and professional in-home support following multiple surgeries and serious complications. --- Finch had announced her diagnosis about a week before her death. Fuck cancer. RIP, ma'am.

Could be. For those so inclined, DuckDuckGo's latest browser claims to block (at least) most YouTube ads. Not sure if they defeat the tracking or not. I tried a Midnight Special video - no ads at the beginning. That's a step forward.

I always liked telling people their tech issue was a loose nut behind the keyboard.

No regerts.

If you take it to him again, wrap the headstock in bubble wrap and tell him you did it just in case. We saw him open for Bill Murray last year, and he really won the crowd over. Also, if anyone watches Last Week With John Oliver, Dave's band plays the theme song.

Not if it's a Hendrix song...

"Taco flavored kisses for my Beeennnnnnnn..."

Hugh Jackman was on Bob & Tom last year and talked a lot about the movie and spending time with Neil Diamond.

Walter Parazaider, a co-founding member of Chicago who was with the band from its start in 1967 through his retirement in 2017, died Wednesday, family members announced. He had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for six years. Parazaider played reed instruments in the band for that 50-year run, and may be most easily recognized for his flute solo in “Colour My World,” though he was more often found on the saxophone. In the band’s earliest conception, he was the only horn player, and he is often credited as the one whose idea it was to bring an entire horn section in as full members of a rock band, a radical idea when Chicago Transit Authority was being founded in ’67, and still a rare concept to this day.

Seeing their preference for the Tung-Sol tubes reminds me of something I saw in the manual for my ToneBone pedal (it may have been on their web site). Someone asked, "What brand of tube do you recommend to make the pedal sound better?" They replied, "If we thought a different tube made it sound better, don't you think we'd have used it?"

For reasons I don't want to get into (let's just say that when I search for '1200', Office Depot, I expect to see results for '1200', not '2200'), I have a set of three color cartridges for a Canon ink jet printer. Canon Maxify 2200 cartridges, whatever model they fit, box of three - cyan, magenta, and yellow. I've opened the box, but I didn't open any of the cartridges. All brand new. DM me if interested (will go first come first served if there are multiples), and I'll happily split shipping. These are not the actual cartridges themselves. Also not the actual cartridges I was searching for.

I know he was just younger then, but I see that cover now and think, "Mickey Dolenz was in AC/DC?"

There's also this, recommended by Tim Pierce (at least at one time). Would not require any actual change to the guitar. But it's pricey. https://guitarscientist.com/get-performaxe/

Hot In The Shade?

The sound quality isn't great because this isn't posted by Bob & Tom, but it's a different Brian Setzer instructional tape.

I used to throw metal picks when I played at church. Strangely, it coincided with an unexplained burst of stigmata cases.

RIP, JohnnyB.

You know, I kind of see his point.

Damn, this one hurts. Ike was one of my favorite Zappa vocalists, and a very underrated guitarist. Worked beautifully with Frank, and meshed with his sense of humor perfectly. RIP, Ike, and thank you.

RIP, sir.

Maybe Robin or Frank could, but I doubt Dave would do anything worthwhile with it.

XenForo is the platform the PRS forum is running on. I don't know what it's been like from an administration standpoint, but it's been extremely smooth and painless from my POV. Thanks again for your work - I was pleasantly surprised to see the board back up. Smooth as silk so far.

You could go all Woody Guthrie and write "This guitar kills your faith that it's not a counterfeit" on it.

Thanks for all your work, Ted. Good luck on the transfer, and I'm happy to help if I can be of assistance.
