Took some pictures of my Mccarty over the weekend. I'm hoping to sell it soon along with another guitar I'm not really digging.
I just bought a Lil' Elvis amp head (the top part in the picture) on Ebay. I think I've lost my mind. Actually, I'm fired up. Now I just need a speaker cabinet (the bottom part lol) to play it through.
I've been hanging out at The Gear Page this week trying to find a cool amp. It seems things are a little more hopping over there vs. Ebay. One cool thing about TGP is that people are a lot more open to trades unlike Ebay where cash is king. Right now I'm trying to negotiate a pedal trade with some other cat. Two of mine for two of his.
Personal note: read this and decide if it's worth looking into. *after reading it I think the only thing I haven't done is changing the speaker--> 1. Replace the stock Jensen speaker with a Weber 12F150 if you are into stock Cali sounds or a Celestion G12H30 / Eminence Red Fang if you want a nice British twist.
I'm not sure how this would work but it definitely looks interesting. If it has an on-screen display with Ipod type menu functions then it would be awesome. My current living room setup is great but just not very efficient because it takes an old PC to run the thing. If I could
I'm not a big fan of Lebron James' recent shoe releases but the upcoming wolf gray low looks pretty sweet...not to mention the upcoming Jordan V retros in wolf gray. Shwing!
Catchy little pop tune used in the new Heineken TV ad campaign. They're playing at all the time during the NBA playoff games.
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
This amp would look sweet in my den. $1850 for the head and $575 for the cabinet...*gulp. I think I'll pass.
New VW Beetle in NYC. Sweeet.
...from the same site as above, lots of Coachella 2011 photos. I hate to admit it but I'm clueless about these groups. That means I am officially too old for Coachella.
It my opinion, Kate Middleton may be a little too hip for Harry...or whatever his name is. He seems to be a little uptight like Prince Charles.
As usual, I find my guitar sound lacking in the tone department. The thing is, I have an amp that plays beautiful cleans but it it just doesn't come close to that vintage Marshall sound that I currently crave. Do I need another amp? I've pretty much run the gamut of guitars and pedals and my sound is still the same. I think I'm going to move away from guitars and focus more on amps. I've noticed a lot of pro players have two amps, a Fender for cleans and a Marshall type for leads. I have the Fender part but I've been going crazy the past few days trying to find a decent Marshall or equivalent (clone builders are all the rage). I'll keep looking but so far I've come up empty (unlike this person). The thing about Marshall type amps is that they're so frickin' loud. It's near impossible to find something you can play at home volumes and still retain that cranked sound.
I've been slacking off on my blog. I haven't been sleeping well and just generally too tired to do much other than the least amount required to get by.
Tarheels in the NBA playoffs. Hansborough went off in a losing effort.
Badass new Nikon over at Amazon. Seems relatively cheap for all the camera you get.
The great 335 hunt begins...retail options are out of the question. Ebay options are, uhhh, out of the question too. Oh well, I guess the hunt is over before it got started. Daddy's broke. Here is some guy tearing one up. I was a fool for not making an offer on this one. It's just like my old one except without all the gold hardware bullshit. I'm not a gold hardware guy lol.
Illustrated guide to the budget. I thought this was gonna suck when I clicked on it but it was actually kinda funny.
Lots of great pictures from some random car show.
Kim Kardashian has kind of a weird body.
People Magazine names JLo as the most beautiful woman alive. I hate to say it but I agree. She is frickin' hot.
Nike SB Dunk Cheech and Chong's.
Some hottie and a frenchie.
Gibson's pre-nap yawn, 04/13/11.
I guess I've finished the top half. Now for the hard part.
Speaker Comparison. I'm thinking of putting a new one in my Deluxe Reverb (primarily out of boredom). Either that or get a Gibson hollowbody (birthday gift to myself?). I love seeing good comparison videos on Jewtube. Also, I'm in kill mode today. Nobody fuck with me.
Scarlett Johansson isn't pregnant, just fat.Yeah, she's put on a few pounds but she's in a new relationship with Sean Penn and they've been bangin' everyday like there's no tomorrow. Usually new relationships result in weight gain just because everything is so frickin' awesome. Sex and food, there's nothing better. On a sidenote, what's up with those shoes Scarlett is wearing in those pics?
Beer labels as art? Sure, I love it!
Ultimate Ears...I heard someone mention these on TV and I'm going to check them out later. Could be all hype. Who knows? The website is looking a little too polished.
Signs that the Japanese are calling it quits on any kind of nuclear plant salvage. Once the concrete pumps appear, it's pretty much over. The whole problem is the inability for people to get near the critically damaged areas without exposing themselves to unhealthy amounts of radiation. I don't think anyone in their right mind wants their vital organs failing or best case scenario: cancer.
I just finished playing Dead Space 2 and I gotta say it was is probably the hardest game I've ever played. It was just so intense and draining. Great game but maybe a little too over the top. Graphics were top notch. I'm now playing Call of Juarez...pretty much the polar opposite of Dead Space 2 considering one is horror/sci-fi and the other is based in the old west. I've gone from laser blasters to six shooters.
Esquire Magazine's 2011 Your Sexiest Woman Alive: Katrina Bowden. I remember writing negatively about last year's winner Minka Kelly and have since eaten my words because that bitch is fine. Just to prove how stupid Esquire magazine is they have a sexiest woman alive (voted on by the editors of the magazine, I guess) and a 'your' sexiest woman alive (as voted on by the readers). Yeah, I'm lost too. Minka Kelly won the 2010 editors choice and Brooklyn Decker won the readers choice. So dumb. They also think Charlize Theron is the sexiest woman alive too albeit from a dated article...or is it Kate Beckinsale? I'm not sure why I'm even talking about Esquire. They're such douches. Fuck'em.
Kelly Brooke and her huge pregnant boobs...not sure if want...just kidding.
What's in your fridge? Sadly, mine looks like none of these.
I bought a Fulltone Plimsoul last week and I've barely had time to mess with it but my initial impression was very positive. It does exactly like the ad says, "offers both overdrive and distortion options in one pedal." I can't wait to tinker with it some more this weekend. Guitar pedals are frickin fun. That's all there is to it. I want to try a Wampler pedal next. I hear lots of good web chatter about his stuff.
Hi-Res photos of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant
Timberland premium line is the straight dope...expensive.
This blog according to HurrDurr.
I just won a sweet center channel speaker on Ebay. I already have the left and right and I've been looking for a center to match for a long time. It should make the system in my computer room rock. I am now officially broke.
My heating and air unit died over the weekend. It will cost $650 to repair or who knows how many thousands to replace. These are expensive times. Actually, it will cost $6k. My year is finished.
Gibson under my desk at work. Big baby.
The Art of John Kacere. Obviously, he's an ass man, like me :)
Sillof's Custom Workshop is one of the coolest action figure sites I've seen.
I guess none of the bands I like want to come to NC. First it was Peter Frampton who goes from Baltimore, MD to Myrtle Beach, SC and then it was Furthur who goes from Hampton, VA to Charleston, SC. Is NC a bad place for traveling musicians? I always thought we had great fans but maybe they're really all douches. I hate to miss the Frampton Comes Alive 35th Anniversary Tour. Here's a few notables that will be in NC this year:
Rush - April 1, Greensboro ( a lot of my Facebook friends are chattering about this one)
Neil Young - April 15, Durham (*would be a nice after tax season getaway)
Phish - June 18, Raleigh
I like those groups but to actually get off my ass and go to one will probably take an act of God.
Captain Obvious can strike anywhere, anytime. Jeez, give the guy a break.
Ron Paul comments on Obama's foreign policy pertaining to Libya. Different president, same old crap.
