Where I work they let all us casual workers go after 4 hours because that's the longest they can legally keep us without giving us a paid 15 minute break.

yeah you get 1/2 hour lunch break after working 6 hours as well

Nice one man. Good start/finish hours?

well no thats just OSHA requirements any employer MUST give you an unpaid half hour lunch break

you can work through it but they're required to

they're making me work 30 hours a week atm i really can't do it. only home for like an hour a day and have no time to study for class

and next week is midterm week im asking for 2 days off

5 nights a week is too much cant do it

Yeah that's pretty full time man wouldn't want to be juggling an education at the same time.

im dodging the bullet i somehow managed to pass an exam i had this week but it was almost impossible. had no time and my other classes suffer.

i find myself skipping classes sometime to STUDY for classes to fit school into my work schedule. work should fit into school, never the other way around when a full time student

Yeah man, I mean, working to earn money is great but when you're spending money on an education you're cheating yourself out of the value of your money if by earning money you are diminishing the quality of your learning.

I work mornings and work 40-50 hours a week, then go to class for 11 credits (1 credit shy of "full-time"). You can do it, d00d!

How many classes are you enrolled in?

It's a nice sunrise here.

I'll make a fine breakfast soon enough.

I think it looks snazzy:

Whoops, I forgot I enlarged it. I print it at 200 or 300 ppi, so it's only a couple inches wide and the gradient looks a lot better when it's that small.

Better known for De La Soul's sampling of it in Ring Ring Ring. Tight as.

Raayl that's ****ed man you got to have time to make your music and pump your guns.

De La Soul is t3h sh*t, man. I love old-school hip hop.

...I just found this CD at Best Buy last week and I fell in love

I've always loved that bassline in Ring Ring Ring but hearing it in that Whatnauts song is even more awesome. Curtis McTeer rips it up for like seven minutes.

I was over jamming with some guys tonight (I'm in a 2nd band now), rehearsing for a show we have next month, and I mentioned to the guitarist/singer that he had some decent records, and he was like "Yeah? You spin too?" And I told him yes, so he told me to go search through the big piles in the other room because he didn't want any of it, and I could take anything I wanted from it, but told me there prolly wouldn't be anything good.

So I went digging, and pulled up:

Phil Collins - Face Value
New Order - Blue Monday
Frank Mills - The Poet and I
Portishead - All Mine
Tears for Fears - The Hurting
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Paul McCartney - Tug of War (not a huge McCartney fan, but for free, I'll give it a try)
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
The Cure - Standing on a Beach (singles)
Johnny Cash - Special (20 Original Hits)
Queen - The Game
The Eagles - Hotel California
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon


Not a bad haul, I'd say.

around here "spinning" is what you call what djs do, although it doesn't assume vinyl will actually be used. like, "hey where are you going? chris is going to be spinning psytrance after this other dude stops spinning this wack *** hardcore house"

i'm also a vinyl head. mostly old jazz and classical music that i steal from my parents when i go by their place

Ah, well, maybe because we're backwards east-coasters, but spinning here in a casual sense just means listening to vinyls.

I'm into pretty much anything that I can find on vinyl. A lot of my collection is fairly modern (within 10 years), but I've got jazz and stuff that goes back.

Listening to the Pink Floyd right now. Still on Side A, but it sounds awesome. Not too much in the way of clicking or popping. I was worried, since these were in a cold basement and kind of just tossed aside.

my housemate has a few built to spill albums from the 90's, that's about the newest stuff we have. awesome awesome albums

he's also got a great classic rock collection, sabbath, stones, the beatles, pretty much all the essentials. our collections complement each other very well

LOVE Built to Spill.


Saw Where the Wild Things Are.


Is good.

i just saw law abiding citizen.

also good.

but i felt a little disappointed by the ending.

New sets of straplocks on my SRX500 and SR700, now all my basses are Schallered up.

My M9 should be here today... no sign of it yet. But the thing puzzling me is that I definitely bought it, received SMS confirmation that the order had not only been received and processed, but dispatched too. Yet no money has left my bank account? :s

So what is the M9 anyway?

That is funny, I order a lot of stuff couriered and sometimes I've had the product for a day or two before it all seems sorted out in my bank account.

I dunno, first time it has happened to me! Normally just get charged straight away. Really beginning to wonder if it'll turn up today. I mean it's only 2 o'clock, but I've already been out and done my day's delivery and been home for over an hour...

The M9 is a new Line 6 toy. Never thought I'd sell off my pedalboard for a multi-fx unit, but I just have done. Odd, seeing as the M13 didn't catch my imagination at all, but the M9 seems really interesting. It's a pedalboard modeller... I guess that's the best way to explain it. Not really a typical multi, and not an amp modeller like most other Line 6 stuff.

That seems like a pretty sweet toy man, if we were little kids I'd totally be friends with you just to use it.

I'm gonna start saving my pennies for an Akai Headrush II that'll be a fun toy also.

Yeah, I've had a couple of loopers, and the M9 has a looper in too... I can't seem to find a good way to use them live. You have to have mega timing as well, and a good drummer. I'm jealous of people who use them well. Seen a band a couple of times called Brontide who are on holy roar records, and their guitarist is great with his loopers. Minus the Bear use DL4s wonderfully too of course.

Yeah I doubt I'd use them in a band, more just to tool around on my own with. I'm looking to get into some solo performing on bass and guitar at different times next year, just open mic/busking kinda schtick but should be fun times once I get a tiny little amp or something.

Unless you're amazing, don't busk on bass. It won't go down well :(

It'd go down alright around here the in the artsy neighbourhoods. I could work up a decent set solo but with a looper it'd be a fair sight easier. Definitely be easier and more accessible to do on guitar though.
