Coup

I have 2 in my back yard that I was going to do something with but things have changed. I can drop one off if you message me.

Pink Floyd, the Mountain Goats, or Modest Mouse. I believe they could all be played with no repeats over 6 hours.

I’ve been on UG since before they had usernames and logins. My account is from 2001. I’ve even been paying for the pro version for a few years. Still bombarded with ads and suggestions and polls and quizzes and any number of other pop ups.

UG is hot trash. I don’t use tabs very often, but when I’ve wanted to in the last few years, it’s been so fucking aggravating. Lately, it’s had a ton of tabs and chords that are removed due to copyright or whatever. And holy hell, let me just look at a regular ass tab. I don’t need the guitar pro tab for everything. I don’t want to have to sift through all the different instruments of the song to find the part that I’m interested in.

So anyways, I’m paying attention to this thread so I can find something better.

I pronounce the T, as well. I’ve gotten a lot of shit at times. lol

Realizing that nobody really knows what they’re doing. Everyone’s winging it.

I want this. What do you want for it?

I’ve also heard people say skagit wrong. Skah-get instead of skah-jit.

Or pronounce Tukwila as Tuk-wheel-uh.

Pronouncing the T in Renton is also telling.

Not a pronunciation, but seeing Mount Rainier and thinking it’s just down the road a few miles.

You’re doing great. There is no finish line, no timeline.

The one thing I would suggest, and this is to everyone that asks for advice, is to play with a metronome as much as possible. Especially early on.

Don’t do what my dad did:

Neighbor had a nest about the same size in an apple tree in their back yard. They decided they needed to get rid of it, but wanted to keep the nest if they could.

Here’s the plan:

1. Go out at night with saw and ladder and other implements of destruction.
   
2. Climb ladder and put kitchen garbage bag over entire nest and onto branch.
   
3. Saw branch off.
   
4. Profit.

Here’s what happened:
1. Go out at night with saw and ladder and other implements of destruction.
2. Climb ladder and put kitchen bag over entire nest and onto branch.
3. Saw branch off.
4. My dad walks over and destroys the nest in the bag.
5. Neighbor figures out what to do with angry garbage bag.

I didn’t know it was that good of a deal at the time. I just really wanted the hollow body.

I found an old DeArmond Starfire Special for $150 at a pawnshop 15 years ago. It’ll have to die by fire before I let it go. I love my Gibson Les Paul, but I play the DeArmond unless I break a string mid band practice or something.

Edit to add: it even came with the hard case!

Not a movie, but how I met your mother when Marshall’s dad dies. I lost my step dad when I was 22. That countdown and the bluntness that it has, gah… I usually skip that episode. I love it, but it’s too much for me sometimes.

Only posers die

I’ve always been partial to Bloodletting (the vampire song) by Concrete Blonde. I’m glad they always make sure it gets played on goth day.

Make air travel boring

I’ve been playing guitar longer than the person I’m training at work has been alive.

Idiocracy

What’s brown and rhymes with snoop?

Dr. Dre

I would not have gone. The balcony room was about $3200 per person. There’s no way I could justify that.

Looking back: I would go again, but not for that price. Maybe $2000. Still feels expensive, but it was a great experience and the lineup was amazing. There was a show going on at almost anytime from about noon to midnight-ish. I did a ton of just walking around, people watching, meeting new friends.

The Ugly Casanova set was incredible. I saw Isaac Brock and James Mercer doing Ugly Casanova around 20 years ago. It was great. But this was Modest Mouse with Califone. It was what I always hoped it would be.

I was at their show and there was a QR code for a chance to win. I got an email a few days later from sixthman. I thought it was a scam at first. But after a little research, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. 2 tickets for a balcony room.

I won tickets to the ice cream floats cruise. One of the gifts they had was a post card with a record on it of them covering don’t wanna live on the moon.

Last I checked Springfield is in America. So if my maths right, Homer is an American. So this tracks.
