Went to a womans college hockey game today. I'm 20 mins away from Baker Rink in Princeton. Game ended in a tie I forgot what that felt like. NCAA plays 3 on 3 for 5 mins and then if no goal it's a draw. Meh but, not disappointing. Saw better defensive structure and coverage. Sad I had to go there to find it!

You never fail to surprise. Enjoy it. I’d never be able to get a sound out if it.

the conversion on headstock from 4 one side to 2 a side tuners (aka fender to gibson style) ...mahogany with mahogany ... sanded perfect

I played the clarinet through high school. I doubt I would willingly pick it up again now.

Ranger fan coming in peace. A friend of mine told me her friend painted a bunch of Christmas decorations at the Rock.

I told my friend “I wish you didn’t tell me that” lol but it’s still pretty cool.

I can’t link her IG because it’s set to private but here’s one of them:

I'm really excited to read about that.

yes and no....they have some good stuff but also some not very good stuff...i remember not being impressed with songs from the wood album....but havent listened to it in forever

Don't know why but in the beggining I always listened them in the mix with Thin Lizzy. May be because both have T as a starting letter for two words band name. Thin lizzy was more of my thing.

lizzy >>> tull

lizzy >>> tull

I’d disagree but that’s probably an age thing. When I start listening to AOR radio in the 1970s Tull would definitely have been played more on WPLJ and WNEW. Thin Lizzy was never a big radio presence on the local airwaves at that point. Aqualung and Locomotive Breath and Bungle in the Jungle were mainstays.

There was some edited version of that I heard from time to time but it was one of those things you heard when they did three in a row of a group (three for Thursday) and for Tull they had probably played the hits and Crosseyed Mary during the prior couple of days and had to dig a little deeper into thr plsylist.

I don’t think it’s an age thing. Both teams built their sound on specific rythmic and folk fundamentals. I believe it’s just more of what is closer to you.

I listened some japan music in animation and talked more attention to, and I think they are doing better compositing work, better detailing than what Europeans and Americans did, but because we were born and grown in specific environment, I still cant give my heart and listen Japanese music as often as I do with Euro/US music.

And I think it is translating to our more specific sides of taste. Reason why I’m more toleranted to some modern rock and metal, when some older guys can’t grow from good old heavy metal days. Even when I’m listen some bad stuff from my young days, I still can catch old vibe and some modern good material of that type of music can find my attention and create emotions inside me.

it sounds like it’s an some kind of age thing.

speaking of radio edits..... 1:05-1:25 ...comical




also ...the 8 track version of the wall .....another brick in the wall part ll is butchered to f***... the classic solo is a shell of what its supposed to be due to tape length constraints

Radio edits were a common thing back then. The issue of course was that when I was little you had very limited options for music. You had the radio, your home stereo system, or a musical instrument. The Walkman wasn’t really a thing until 1980-1981. Even then it was considered rude back then to tune out the world and just listen to it with other people around and it was awkward to use it and drive a car. So typically you were stuck with the two or three rock stations on he dial and they likely had edited versions of the longer songs (Freebird, We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions, etc.) but I think we got all of Stairway and Born to Run and A Day in the Life.

any tips? i'm wasting time before the game messing around with it.....my right pinky is having a hard time .....broke it as a kid in the 80's public skating and it only has two places it likes to be.....straight or fully bent.....when bending is 'clicks' over to the other position ...not smooth ...its awkward and uncomfortable.....finger also bends towards thumb like a bird talon...i cant stretch it outwards

sooo glad it wasnt my left hand due to guitar playing...learned early on to use all fingers

This is my favorite song of them.

The singer is a bit of an off brand Bryan Ferry but it's pretty good overall.

It’s Nick Cave. I believe you should know him.

one of his the most big “pop” songs.
