You can find a bunch of neat things with him on YouTube. Too soon.
Too soon. I've listened to him for hours talk about sound engineering. His personality comes out in fun ways, he's never really says anything overtly dickish, but it's obvious he has it in him.

Add : Right away the synth patch and tempo put me off a bit. I'm a sucker for crackly spoken word bits. The food that fills our belly gives us life!

Re: The MP3 Effect

I was bad at predicting storage and networking trends. I would not have predicted that in 2024 that my WAN and LAN speeds would match. I did not expect that Gigabit Ethernet would still be with us. I would have expected, by now, to treat it with the same disdain normally reserved for "Fast Eth...

Chumpy got one of those while they were in stock.
Yes indeed. I oped for the two pickup variety. I managed to get the $499 price, which now seems unavailable. Thanks to the SongFight Slack #guitars channel for the heads-up on this!

Now to write a song with it!

Glenn's voice on that Great Mimes track is so tasty. He's giving me straight-up Elvis vibes.

Re: I popped some pills so (I Could Do This All Day reviews)

I'm just popping in here real quick with some first impressions before I write my reviews. The "Great Mimes" track is like really, good. I love me some power-pop, and the chorus of that track delivers in spades. Nice job Glenn Case and friends!

Re: Halloween 2022

Got the full-sized candy bars for the kiddies ready. In my neighborhood they start pretty early, so we'll probably turn on the spooky welcome lights at 4pm Pacific today. Considering having a tray of Fireball whiskey shots for the parents at the ready.

Re: They're all perfect of course (Teenage Boomers reviews)

Berkeley Social Scene : Live recording with all the good and bad that comes with that. It sounds alive and spontaneous, but it's also a bit pitchy and sloppy in places. I like the rhythm guitar sounds, the slide solo, and the feedback at the end. I really like the bass part at the end of the verse ...
