    I now have much clearer mental picture of the one called Kala


    kala shredding on the chapman stick lol


    all thats missing from this picture is the scrunched-up "solo face"

    you oughta check the video of Boz Scaggs on SNL doing "Lowdown" - the guitar player, Elliott Randall, had solo face something TERRIBLE

    I had an unrealistic amount of idealism.

    story of my life B/w I expect too much from most people


    And here we stand, perpetually disappointed. This state of affairs extends into ALL realms of society (e.g., politics, education, art, healthcare, religion, family, economics, etc.).


    Peace,

    sometimes the only thing worse than "musicians" who can't play are Musicians who can.

    skilled musicians are not enough to make enjoyable music

    I agree.

    Cases in point: STEELY DAN

    I do not agree. Green Earrings, baby. Hi-hat. Don't sleap.

    i just finished up the last couple of weeks recording some suck-cess-full metal and "emo" rock bands

    dudes had trouble tuning their instruments,playing on the 1/beat
    and staying "in key"/in tune

    what a sorry phucking mess


    this is a trend that has been going on for awhile now and i realize i am pointing out the obvious

    but gottdamm i think as a culture we are at an all time low

    i had to go home and listen to some coltrane and holdsworth to cleanse out my brain


    b/w super Kala goes ballistic: 'new acts are atrocious'
