I got lost on that vintage kits of the 20s/30s page yesterday. Love the diagrams of old pedals and hardware. We've got some of that stuff here at my job for rental. Boardwalk Empire got most of their instruments from us.

Thanks to your program I was introduced to single gun theory and brought the CD which I still enjoy.

No question, Noel Coward owned and listened to all of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band albums.

Dean: Coward was an unabashed stylistic thief. The heirs of Stanshall should sue his heirs. Oh, wait -- Noel didn't have any.

Hi Irwin, I'm enjoying the show today!

You never know, though. Some of those non-existent heirs might have deep pockets.

@Dean: I realized that after I hit the post button.

Sometimes too much time computer-ing leads to a literalness hangover in one's brain.

Hi, folks! How's it going?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 🎃 Wed. 12/30/15 3:44pm Ike:

The problem with "Talking Again" is that the woman who's talking over the song isn't THAT boring. I mean, she's not interesting, but she needs to be more aggressively dull. Try hanging out with somebody who keeps talking about the day's gossip page bunk every time you see him/her. And about all of the Farcebook memes you already saw because (s)he already posted them a while back.

My NYE will respect our enduring family tradition: bottles of good Champagne, a little cocaine, teach the kids a new vice, run outside at midnight and fire revolvers into the sky.

No, it won't. I'll probably balance the checkbook to prepare to pay January bills.

Silversun Pickups may suck, but I like their music anyway.
  Wed. 12/30/15 5:30pm Dean:

Criminy, 5.5 million views, and I'd never heard of these Silversun Pickups. Gotta agree with the contrarian: they suck. They are, precisely, like those sucky bands featured by JetBlue on their godawful in-flight channel. Every stray hair, ever sartorial affectation, every occasional allusion to real rock music is choreographed by witless twerps in Public Relations.
Avatar 🎃 Wed. 12/30/15 5:30pm Irwin:

It's such a lonely, guilty pleasure, cron. I don't even know what they look like. Are they Earthlings?

This reminds me that during a recent trip down the coast in California I heard John Mellencamp twice. One time I was in a decent beer bar. The bartender put an album of his on the turntable. The second time was in a coffee shop in the same town. Something tells me they like sucky music in Morro Bay.
