  1. I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake.
  2. I think the correct answer is "It depends"
  3. [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1481907183' post='3196223'] I think a lot of people think the song is called Gordon is a Moron [/quote] [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1481907448' post='3196227'] this is true, philistines [/quote] Morons!
  4. The Wall and London Calling - one of them was the last album I bought in the 70s, the other was the first album I bought in the 80s. Can't remember which is which, but London Calling is one I have fonder memories of!
  5. X-15 graduate here too... went on to a Fostex 260, then took a major sabbatical during which the world of recording was revolutionised! I found the idea of a DAW intimidating when I came back, so I went for a Tascam DP-008: (now superseded by the DP-008EX). But when I started to want to do serious editing (and MIDI), I plunged into the DAW world. The plus of the Tascam and its ilk is that it's super-portable compared to computer + interface.
  6. [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1481720742' post='3194512'] Well it won't be Kanye West, Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, Katie Perry, Christina Aguilera, Burt Bacharach, Tony Bennett, Jon Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Cher, Kelly Clarkson, Ellie Goulding, Ice-T, Ja Rule, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Janelle Monae, Morrissey, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Sting, Barbra Streisand, James Taylor, Usher, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder because they all endorsed Hillary, much good it did her in the end. Given that The Donald's taste in music tends towards classic rock perhaps Mr Dee Snider (Trump's good friend from The Apprentice) might be persuaded against his better judgement to volunteer the services of Twisted F*cking Sister. [color=#ffffe0].[/color] [/quote] Despite my feelings about Morrissey, I'd make a point of watching him in this context!
  7. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1481670758' post='3194273'] Kanye. . . [/quote] No I can't!
  8. Ooh lovely colour and matching headstock too!
  9. Borderline politics warning... Who do you think the highest profile artist Trump can muster will be? Or will he just go for massed military bands and choirs? [b]Inauguration blues: Why pop stars won't play for Trump[/b] [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38298215"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-38298215[/url] This led me to wonder who'd performed for previous republicans, which led me to [b]Inauguration Artists Over the Years[/b] [url="http://mashable.com/2013/01/21/music-monday-inauguration-artists/#z8TRox_sGkqi"]http://mashable.com/...s/#z8TRox_sGkqi[/url] I see Jessye Norman sang for both Reagan and Clinton!
  10. Yamaha BB425 (or 415). Precisiony with a bonus J pickup, often found for less than £200 used - bargain!
  11. [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1481393839' post='3192049'] 4/4 of course. Plus whatever else comes along. To say you have a favourite, or prefer anything, above 4/4 is just plain pretentious. [/quote] Yet 4/4 used to be known as "imperfect time" - 3/4 was "perfect time".
  12. Saying you have no rhythm suggests that you can tell the difference between being in time and being out of time, which is a great starting point as you know what you need to work on - a lot of people have no idea that they're out of time!
  13. The top 10 whose lines I wanted to copy (with varying degrees of success!), in strictly alphabetical order: [url=""]​[/url][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Dave Allen[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Jeff Berlin[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] JJ Burnel[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Bernard Edwards[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] James Jamerson[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Geddy Lee[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Nic Potter[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Chris Squire[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] John Wetton[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=SFNSText,] Tina Weymouth[/font][/color]
  14. Looks like he's showing his rougher side: https://twitter.com/drunkenbutcher/status/806036371848695808
  15. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1480863046' post='3187619'] Ideal for a 'BenFolds' cover band... [/quote] If this was a five, etc...
  16. [quote name='Les' timestamp='1480696660' post='3186554'] Can it be a cover you've recorded in a studio ? Or does it have to be a rougharse one ? [/quote] I'm going to do a cover of How Rough is Your Arse?
  17. [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1480661981' post='3186137'] that's a half-assed ad [/quote] It's become the butt of many jokes!
  18. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1480339262' post='3183453'] So which way is a harp strung..? [/quote] I don't know, but it stays sharp to the bottom of the glass.
  19. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1480272218' post='3183007'] Except the left handed piano. [/quote] No, lefties just play like this:
  20. Yep, it now costs the sender a 1% fee to send to a "friend". [quote name='Monkey Steve' timestamp='1479913135' post='3180243'] whenever I've used eBay to sell I've always made it very clear that if they are paying by PayPal then I will not post or meet to hand over the item until I have cleared money in my bank account, which is not the same as having the payment confirmed by PayPal. This then typically results in the buyer travelling to meet me and hand over the cash because they want to get their hands on the instrument ASAP. [/quote] But if you withdraw the money from PayPal and they subsequently do a chargeback, won't the money just be taken from your bank account or card registered with PayPal?
