That is the first album I ever bought.  Money well spent.

I was robbed at a gas station downtown last night.  After my hands stopped trembling, I managed to call the cops and they were quick to respond and calmed me down..... My money is gone!  The police asked me if I knew who did it.  I said yes, it was pump number 9…

Upon further questioning, the police determined Craig self served!   He's the Jussie Smollett of gas station robberies!

Paul Simon: "punk was invented for those who can't play a musical instrument, rap for those who can't sing."  Now there's a third option for those who just can't be bothered, period.

It's called "democratization". The same process that turned millions of people into infectious disease and/or international relations experts, strippers with an iPhone into millionaires, named a Royal Navy ship "Boaty McBoatface" and gave "Keeping up with the Kardashians" a Peoples' Choice award. Everybody gets a Participation Trophy!

Of course none of that applies to those of us enjoying a million-dollar recording studio in a laptop, pretending to command a full orchestra, pretending to have perfect pitch, pretending to know what an oud is, taking credit for some loops we found online, and generally letting software polish our turds for us. No, that's completely different.

I love it when old guys (like me) get a good rant going!   Nice!

Life IS good.

Especially at this time...we are at the peak of civilization.  (Just ignore the pessimists and don't watch TV!).

Everything said here about bloatware is true, but I'll add one more wrinkle: some of it is difficult to clean out. I bought my mom a computer and it ran super-slow. I uninstalled everything but it didn't make much improvement. Long story short: "uninstalling" Norton still left bits and pieces that slowed down the computer. Several pages deep in the Norton website, there were instructions on how to remove it completely. As soon as I did that, the computer zipped along.

Also +1 to an external audio interface with ASIO (not ASIO4ALL) drivers.  

Yep, I spend about 4 hours decrapifying phones and computers during the first weeks I have them.  I like 'em lean and mean....just like my women!

(PS: It's nice you take care of your mom).

Back ups are your best friend.

I had an almost irresistible urge to post a picture of some dog poop.   But I restrained myself.

You're welcome.

And I'm not responsible for what other people are about to do....

We don't need no thought control.

I hate how one a-hole can screw up so many lives on a whim.

If your pickup acts as a microphone, it's broken.

If a pickup isn't mounted well, it's possible the sound waves from someone shouting at it could move it.  Since the guitar strings are right there, the magnetic field would be disturbed and current generated.

Caveat, I've never tried this since I reserve my shouting for bass players who are always late.

Old people don't know about Google translate!

Whew. I was beginning to worry there for a minute. That house looked way too neat for a musician.

I'm sure an updated photo would have shoes, clothes on the floor, empty beer cans and pizza boxes strewn about, possibly a tipped over bong....and of course a stranger passed out on that lovely sofa.

Sort of true but also sort of not true.
By all accounts Yoko was the money brains behind increasing John's wealth significantly through investments (of his/their money or course*).

*John & Yoko did not have a prenup so once they were married it was to become their money.

Wow.   What a buzzkill you are!

Sorry, can't make it.  Two busy.

Q) Can you make really, really powerful software that is really, really simple to use?

A) No.

This is weird, I went back to my post, put it in edit mode, copied the link there and re-pasted it in....voila...embedded video.

Not sure what is going on...

I guess I'm just...untrainable.
