This pic was after a cutting cycle with lyle mcdonald's CKD+EC stack...I was at like 7% bf, it was awesome. right now i'm trying to bulk and get my lifts up before i cut again...oh yeah I used to be like 195 pounds but I dieted down to 165 so I'm still kind of a skinny little girl.

also can i play bass in one of your songs because i love your music.

you can put bass on my glitch song i just did and make it all squarepusher

Hard Normal Daddy and Ultravisitor ftw. That would be so much ****ing fun.

Joe, how's $100 sound?

The thing about Jaco is you don't have to like his playing but it's a bit rich to dismiss offhand someone who is all in likelihood (depending on who you are) 100 times better a musician than you are or ever will be.

Anyway, while we're doing body stuff, I weigh 175lbs in the devil's reckoning. Most of it must be my hands 'cause it sure isn't my arms.

Dude, the thing about Jaco died a page ago.

Also, Jaco isn't better than anyone. He's dead.

He may be dead but the majority of players these days still can't play a lot of his stuff.

And I don't mean they haven't learn it, or they can't be bothered, I mean they do not have the technical facility to achieve it.

You're mistaken if you think the majority of bass players hold Jaco up on a pedestal of what a bass player should be. Sure he was a great player, technically (his musicality is entirely subjective), but that doesn't mean I want to play anything like him. And, no, I don't have the technical facility to play his stuff, either. If I wanted to, I'd probably learn how, but the vast majority of the stuff Jaco did is not relevant to productive use of the instrument.

I'd rather listen to Evil Empire and bask in wonderfully constructed riff based rock with awesome tone than listen to any Jaco stuff.

But I couldn't touch the way Jaco played. I won't lose sleep over it.

Fixed.

Bought a new audio interface today (incoming pictures ofc):

Class A preamps mother ****er.

Only cost me 550NZD (about 390ish USD) and it looks like it's in mint condition. Never been rack mounted either so no scratches!

Ben, I get where you're coming from and everything, but your argument would be much more valid if you weren't currently digging "Them Crooked Vultures"

Seriously dude? A combination of Nirvana, Zep, the Foo Fighters, and QOTSA? I challenge you to name an animal whose feces I would rather not eat than listen to any of those bands.

At the end of the day I just think it's really weak when people write off something that is well beyond their level just because they "don't want to learn it" or they "don't like how it sounds". There's play time and there's serious time and practise time is serious time. What's the point of making excuses just to keep in your comfort zone? That's hugely counter-productive to developing your playing.

Something about how awesome Flea is and the best in the world.

While we're shitcanning Jaco, I love this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWh8HzCxtOg

Flea is a good bass player.

Nothing on Fieldy though.

Yo, on the real, RHCP is a steaming pile of ****. But Flea did play bass on Deloused, and for that he has a place in my heart.

I like RHCP. BSSM is an awesome album.

I like them too.

Flea and Chad are a solid rhythm section and have really developed over the years. Sloppy and frantic back in the day, maturing into a smoother groove unit.

Yeah it only took them what 45 years

Raayl, in the absence of a weights bench, is it advisable to try and do bench presses using an EZ curl bar and a swiss ball?

Well I guess we'll see how long it takes you and compare.

Jesus Christ no, you'll bend backwards at your lower-back if you don't slide off and decapitate yourself first.

Haha yeah I wasn't going to do it it would be pretty suicidal.

Bouncy and suicidal.

I kind of wanted his glib

several line response

telling me it was retarded

then SOMETHING IN CAPS

(Kid at my high school actually did something very similar decapitation-wise).

oh my bad i thought you were serious =(

I don't do anything but cardio. I'd post pics but then I remembered I'm a skinny white guy and the only exercise of merit I do is moving cartons of beer around at work all day.
