I don't even have a record player. I'm so not-indie.

This will most likely fund my drug use and the ridiculous number of really good shows in Philadelphia in the coming months that I plan to attend. Battles is 21+. I almost cried.

perriwinkle 02-15-2008 08:19 PM

that sucks. yeah i dont have a record player either.

and my vinyl collection consists of The Police - [I]Synchronicity[/I]

pretty bangin collection if i do say so myself

Liebensaft 02-15-2008 08:20 PM

hah. Nice. I don't even own any cds I like. I haven't bought a cd since I was in like 8th grade.

I listened to some seriously gay music in 8th grade.

perriwinkle 02-15-2008 08:21 PM

i listened to THe Offpsring and Korn and thats about it

Liebensaft 02-15-2008 08:24 PM

Yeah, I liked the Offspring. I was pretty into pop-punk and some radio rock. I think Brand New was one of my favorite bands at that time. I'm not really embarrassed much about that one because they make really cool music (except their first album wouldn't appeal to anyone here - it's still nostalgic for me).

Anxious 02-15-2008 10:25 PM

I'll probably blow my rebate on vinyl.

A Dead Modernist 02-15-2008 10:32 PM

bangbus is so good

br3ad_man 02-16-2008 12:55 AM

When I get my tax return in July I'll probably use it to buy an amp.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 12:57 AM

id like to get a half stack

C.O.A. 02-16-2008 01:16 AM

[QUOTE=YDload;15986765]i did because that chick had a really ugly face. like a retarded baby. but whoever gave you a new one wisely chose a pic without the face, so good for them[/QUOTE]

I guess it was just that picture because she's not ugly. I was trying to change it for like a week, but nobody would do it in R&M.

br3ad_man 02-16-2008 01:19 AM

[QUOTE]id like to get a half stack[/QUOTE]

I can't see myself ever needing a half stack, but I'd definitely buy one if I found a good deal. I think I'll probably get a combo, probably a 50 watt. I like the look of Traynor amps.

C.O.A. 02-16-2008 01:31 AM

Imo, the only good thing about a half stack is the angle/height it sits at. With my 2x12, I have to sit it on other ****, to hear it "correctly".

br3ad_man 02-16-2008 01:34 AM

Can't you angle it towards your ear?

C.O.A. 02-16-2008 01:45 AM

Yeah but it's a pain in the ***.

4x12s are perfect height for me. But I don't want to have to haul that **** around.

Otherside 02-16-2008 09:16 AM

So ticketmaster just totally ****ed up my radiohead ticket search and now I'm probably going to get the most shitty seats in the whole world.

**** it, A&I :(

Happymeal 02-16-2008 09:44 AM

I went to this Irish pub last night, and everyone I knew from my high school was there. Most of them I didn't expect* to see again after I graduated

*want

Liebensaft 02-16-2008 09:59 AM

Yeah, that's uncomfortable.

i have like a 50 watt and it isn't loud enough

br3ad_man 02-16-2008 10:56 AM

What amp is it?

Neoteric 02-16-2008 11:02 AM

I have a 30 watt and it's plenty loud.

I used to use it when I was in a band.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 11:06 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man;15990012]What amp is it?[/QUOTE]

nvm its a 40 watt

some Peavey transtube amp

br3ad_man 02-16-2008 11:11 AM

Ah solid state. Tube amps are way louder.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 11:13 AM

well its not really solid state but not really tube either i guess

at about 5 or 6 the sound starts to break up and gets kind of choppy
it's annoying because with bands i usually play at that volume or higher

Neoteric 02-16-2008 11:15 AM

is it old?

ATM 02-16-2008 11:18 AM

I've got a huge *** Crate amp. 120 watts. But solid state amps sound kinda crap.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 11:19 AM

[QUOTE=Neoteric;15990087]is it old?[/QUOTE]

no.

ATM 02-16-2008 11:26 AM

I remember buying my amp and knowing next to nothing about them. I went into Guitar Center and was like "I WANNA ROCK!" and my Dad said "ROCK!".

That's why I ended up with a gigantic Crate amp.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 11:27 AM

ive played one of those big crate amps

they're okay if you want to get some like stale thrash metal sound or something

ATM 02-16-2008 11:31 AM

Exactly. But I want to play sweet doomy riffs brah.

Boilermaker 02-16-2008 11:47 AM

I play a 120 watt Fender solid state.

I dunno, I like how it sounds.

Dies Irae 02-16-2008 11:50 AM

i dont want a real tube amp because that would involve maintenance and replacing tubes and ****

Boilermaker 02-16-2008 12:08 PM

I should have gotten a tube amp because my band has been playing more shows lately, I prefer the more portability of my solid state. I really don't notice a huge difference in the sound when my pedals are hooked up to it, and Fender's solid states tend to be better than most other company's solid states anyways.

Plus, it wasn't incredibly expensive like some of the tube amps I was considering.

Sweet I'm seeing Radiohead on May 11.

Anyone here ever listened to the Mike Watt from Pedro show? It's his radio show, it's got a bunch of cool interviews with Wayne Coyne, Lee Ranaldo, Nels Cline etc. There's a podcast of it on iTunes.

perriwinkle 02-16-2008 01:27 PM

does anyone else think this song ****ing rules?

I used to listen to that sometimes. I remember one with Steve Shelley on it, that was cool hearing him speak about all his influences and whatnot.

Anxious 02-16-2008 01:46 PM

I used to listen to it like 2 years ago.

Bukowski 02-16-2008 01:48 PM

He played some cool jazz music on his show.

Anxious 02-16-2008 01:53 PM

He always opened with a John Coltrane song.


I remember him playing lots of Melt Banana also.

Boilermaker 02-16-2008 01:59 PM

That's how I first got into Melt Banana.

On DorkRockCorkRod by the Ergs!, there's this cool tidbit from his show after he played their song 'Obligatory Song About Killing One's Boyfriend', and Mike says something like, "Enough of that Obligatory stuff, It's time for brother Matt Spin Cycle!" It it plays this repetitive sample over and over again for like 2 minutes.
