I would like to receive your push notifications. Because I'm a whore.

I have a red sparkle guitar, and a silver drum wrap Gretsch, but the twain shall never meet, I guess.

I have two MIK Reverends that I love to death. Would definitely take this for a spin. I mean, like all children, you love one more than the other, you just don't mention it in front of them.

Jello! Good to see you. Did I ever tell you about the time I went out with Howie in NYC? We may or may not have killed a drifter. It's a bit hazy.

I missed you, Howie.

At a certain point a tricked-out Tele ceases to be a Tele. It's the old "Ship of Theseus" paradox. I mean, single coils are negotiable IMO, but when you get rid of the ashtray bridge and put a strat trem on it, and get rid of the tone knob...I mean, it's a Tele because of the single cut and the...

Your tastes have not changed. Stay gold, Pony Boy.

I like the Snarks for guitars and banjo. For pedal steel I use a Strobo Stomp because it has a special mode for the sweetened pedal steel tuning, designed to take into account that your instrument is a ridiculous shifting box of tension that you are driving like a submarine, but with your feet.

Ironically, it's people with the 6 and the 6 Plus that are seeing the biggest issues with iIOS 8. Turns out that the only people that are allowed to evaluate pre-release Apple HARDWARE are senior executives. Because, you know, secrecy. And reasons. I swear to god, if Steve were still alive...

Not gonna lie, I love that record. He has a way with a Strat. That video may mark the first time I've ever seen a Les Paul Recording Bass used live.

I'm in that gondola every February. It's a great opportunity to practice chemical warfare with friends because that shit lingers. P.S. Sam is awesome.

I just love it when there's a phenomenon where people say "how can science possibly explain this?!?" and then science comes along and explains the pee-winding shit out of it.

Saw Nickel Creek here in Dallas last week, and damn. He didn't rip it up like he does with the Punch Brothers, but it was a fine evening of music. At the end, they played "Where is Love Now" without any mics at all, just standing at the foot of the stage in a sold-out 1,700 capacity theater. You...
