  1. If you can't find a better place to play, go to the music department of your school, make friends with a professor or clerk, and use one of the practice rooms when its not occupied to make a lot of noise. As a student at the school, you should feel entitled to use those soundproofed rooms as a resource. Plan B, which is what I'd do, is buy a jamhub. (I've never tried one but I'm gassing for one.)
  2. I've weighed in on Radiohead in the past, but here's a summary: I loved "OK Computer" (it was the first I'd heard of them besides their crap song Creep) Someone gave me "The Bends" and I loved it even more. Still do. I liked Amnesiac...until I realized it was a whiny-kids aria. I began to lose my sanity listening to Kid-A, mainly because it was so full of itself. I'm hoping that a deranged fanboy will stab me before I have to hear "In Rainbows." In short: Radiohead was a bright star that faded for me.
  3. I've said this before, and been flamed horribly for it, but here I am again putting out the straight troof: A Fender strat is a strat is a strat. Pick the one with the specs you like. Get it adjusted to your specifications. Don't look back. You'll be happy.
  4. The great thing about CL is it is a true, old-school Bazaar, straight out of the Middle East. Buyers are under no obligation to be polite or follow the strictures of the seller when they make an offer, sellers are under no obligation to humor a buyer who returns with a stupid bid. Its a free-for-all wherein, if a consensus can be found, a transaction will occur. Its a new culture for Americans. All the bellyachin' (which I do myself) is just that.
  5. Why is it that the telecaster gains votes in the wee hours of the night, and the stratocaster gets votes during people's lunch breaks from the office? Because Teles are experiencing a kind of Renaissance at the moment and people on the West Coast of the USA are hipper to it?
  6. I got a Galveston 5 string bass as a sweetener in a bigger swap. I'm going to defy the critics here by saying that it was a decent player. Granted, the pickups were as noisy as a Chinook Skycrane stuck in a tinfoil hat, but I had fun with the thing for awhile. As for build quality and long term value, who cares? If you get one, upgrade the pups, play the crap out of it until it breaks, and (for the price of buying one decent guitar) you can buy half a dozen more.
  7. About Ed Roman "...he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..."
