Wow, way to go the extra mile Ken :-) That's awesome, I'm gonna look into a couple of those. Besides tube, can you tell me any other types of specs I should look at when looking at amps? Specs are misleading-- try and play through it before buying if you can. Music stores will let you, craigslist f...

Alternate challenge: fix the embarassing grammatical error in the title!

See, if it's good enough for the King of Pop, it should be good enough for you jokers!

Actually all his plugins are worth a look.

Everyone should write songs about me.

I am in favor of crazy moustaches.

I, for one, welcome our robot candidates. And their reviews.

This one's for Jim of Seattle and his song that won't die.

Frankie and the Air Emirates Boys' Choir!

I might enter, I might not. You'll see a few entries from people you weren't expecting, and a few people on your list will not show up at all. I'd just run a round zero and adjust for whatever numbers you get.

What about Hoblit's sister? I've heard some crazy songs about her...

Nope; a great example is Puce's Brownie Points, which he did even though he had a pass that week. The chorus was along the lines of "I don't have to enter a song, I'm just doing this for brownie points."

Hyper Hyypia

I guess he doesn't look it though.

Bring him along, man! What's a better birthday present than a Florida vacation?

the construction site across the street (which is always very brightly-lit even though it's never being worked on at night) Construction sites are awesome places to steal things from-- materials, tools, hard-hats, whatever. The lights are probably just a security thing. I sleep with all my lights on.

Wow, you can do awesome and authentic Japanese things, like watch the Red Sox!

Actually, unless it explicitly says so somewhere (I didn't really look too closely) I'd guess that it was the 39th one off the line that day, not that year. Not sure if that really matters though, it looks cool either way.

Are amps something else you'd like to tinker with? If so, check out the Epiphone Valve Jr. I've got he head and a kit to upgrade it. I also like the look of the Crate Blackheart series. (Yes, I am a fan of low-watt tube heads.) I'll tinker w/ anything if it's not too complicated. If it gets too com...

I got Barbarism Begins at Home!

I do this with the three low strings but I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes. I rarely break strings anyway so I can't comment on that.

I don't really rock either, but I did receive two emails today with the subject "Longer, thicker and rock hard." If you need me to forward them or anything, just let me know.

That's a good song and all, but what did you think it was about at first?
