Morning all. New neurologist this morning so this should be fun. This one isn't 100 years old like the last one and listens.. 

 

Another lefty who understands my pain. I've always told people going to a large guitar shop for me is like being diabetic at a doughnut factory...lol. I've wanted one of those pretty Ibanez Artcore series hollow bodies for years, but the only lefties I find are in the $1000+ price range and for a hobby player that just doesn't work!

 

Got sniped the same way on a record the other day for like a buck as well... sigh :( 

 

Does the officer understand that his powers are pointless when dealing with a KING????? Feel better brother!

All day long mate, all day long. When I've been into music stores in the states I've generally had a far better experience than over here.

A few weeks however when I was highly hungover and wandering around town, I popped into a store that specialises in Rickenbackers. They had around 8-10 leftys of varying degrees of awesomeness. Fella offered me a test (I was desperate to) but felt I was too hungover to enjoy it - I'll have to go back sober!

Yeah, dude, instantly thought of you.

Kings of Leon / White Stripes / Gary Clark Jr. / Benjamin Booker / Black Keys / other good garage stuff.

Their records are cheap, too. $17 for this one, and $13 for their last LP.

 

Listen to all their stuff.

This song is probably my favorite:

 

Once again, another solid recommendation! Really enjoying the Black Keys sound of this. May be a cheeky purchase coming up (HAVE to slow down, that Sun Kil Moon/Kozelek stuff has wiped me out).

I ALWAYS get the same selection to buy or try at any large chain store:

 

A $900 American Stratocaster

One or more Squire Strats, and the occasional Telecaster

Entry level acoustics made by Epiphone or Sammick or any other "value priced" brand

 

Anything else they have to "order it" :( 

 

Edit: One thing that makes me respect the hell out of Martin guitars is the fact that if you order a new guitar from them, they don't tack on extra cost for it to be made left handed like most every other company I've seen does. But with their cost being so high, it's the least they can do anyhow.

Hello, enjoying my new home so far in Columbia. Went and checked out a couple record stores and applied to both, also found a whale of mine today, dunno how many of you listen to Everyone Asked About You (great short lived 90s emo band), but they only released 2 7" and a split 7" and broke up (and there is a posthumous release of an album that didn't see the light of day until 10 years later) I found their 2nd 7" in the wild here with the inserts in great shape https://www.discogs.com/Everyone-Asked-About-You-Sometimes-Memory-Fails-Me-Sometimes/release/3943226

@THE_James_Champ did you see Our Lady is breaking up? Bums me out but their final show is 3 hours away from my new home so I may make the journey I'll have to decide as it gets closer since I'm looking for work right now and no way I'm asking for a day off within the first month of a new job

Companies that make cold medicine are loving this.

Sinus med makers too. One minute I can breathe, the next I can't... I must have coughed for an hour last night trying to clear my throat. Even my old dog that has congestive heart issues was looking at me like "Dude, are you gonna make it?"

I was more worried about my balls getting whiplash or something :P

 

My god damn Spice and Wolf collector's edition book still hasn't shipped and was supposed to be here today. I know they oversold, but I bought one within a few hours of it going up so I should be safe, but it's annoying still :/

Hell of a long shot, but is anyone near this? If you'd be able to pick me up the book tomorrow I'd love you forever and offer some kind of reward depending on what you deem fair.

Just looked and they are preselling before the actual signing, so if you just swing in when the shop opens it will be fine. You don't have to wait/stay for a signing at 5PM
