Another show at The Sphere I would love to see if it weren’t in an insanely expensive city full of drunk gambling addicts. They need to put these things an hour from the Denver, Chicago, and Atlanta airports. Shit, they could put one in Japan and it would probably less expensive to fly to the...

Of course the Pope and J. K. Rowling get along.

The original made less than $6 million. This must be one of those low budget direct to streaming and satellite films that studios make to keep the small companies in the industry afloat between the big films. What would really be awesome is Crossroads VS Crossroads; Macchio and Vai have to use...

I only need a deal on breast meat. And Walmart is .56¢ less per pound. Amazon will deliver. Walmart and is on the way to my favorite Indian food truck.

Gibson launched a new line of historic reissue pickups. There are 1957, 1958, and 1959 PAF models. Two pickups are $800. Duncan ’59s (sets) are $200. Wolfetones are $280. Duncan Antiquities are $320. Lollar Imperials are $400. These crazy motherfuckers at Gibson actually made Lollar’s flagship...

Happy birthday!

Behringer is launching a huge lineup of cheap pedals. $10–$15. Clones of classics and creative new stuff. I hope they also make cheap pedalboards that all these things lock into.

My latest fuzz is a Fuzz Foundry with the silicon/germanium switch. It can do a huge range of fuzz tones with all those nifty knobs. But, like modelers, I am too stupid to use it. I did bring my Behringer SF00 out of the cabinet and it sounds amazing with the Crab Model T.

It’s not a concert per se, but the Back to the Beginning concert movie is running yesterday and today. The director and sound team did a killer job—it sounds a hell of a lot better than it did in the stadium! For a while I thought that the people next to us were talking and kept getting louder...

Do you think Farmer John has a big hog?

Maybe Orange got the message from Target. I was there this morning and the Halloween section is mostly Christmas already. I guess people who want to decorate for Thanksgiving are supposed to buy vintage stuff on eBay or something.

Orange posted to instagram that it is starting Black Friday on 10/30. This is getting silly.

It looks like a great tool for live players who don’t want to fuck around with switching patches on a modeler.

Isn’t that the shade of Mary Kay Cadillacs?
