[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1423560573' post='2686206'] oh well! Poor Kanye, what will he do without my approval? [/quote] Crawl back under a stone hopefully and leave the parody to Reg Watts

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1423547065' post='2686111'] By coincidence I have Shadows and Light on in the car right now and I was thinking exactly the same; genius and THAT* live band! She's one of those geniuses who makes everything look easy. Prince says 'Hissing...' is one of the few albums he can listen to all the way through. And +1 to all of Jaco's best work being done with Joni. I wouldn't know where to start or stop with her brilliant lyrics but I love 'a helicopter lands on the PAN-AM roof like a dragonfly on a tomb'. The live version of Hejira with that achingly beautiful play out - pity the band footage was replaced by the ice skaters. *Joni wanted Wayne Shorter but he and Jaco's Weather Report contracts prevented any two members being involved in another project. [/quote] Agreed - the pan am roof line is one of the main stand out lines of the whole album Shame about Wayne shorter though ... Bit of a bummer she had to put up with Michael Brecker! Lol

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1423509697' post='2685744'] Like it or not, Kanye West is the biggest rock star on the planet. [/quote] On Uranus maybe

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1423500955' post='2685581'] Kanye's great. At least he's got something different to say. [/quote] I agree he's all heart isn't he I mean, didn't he just give some bloke called Paul McCartney a bit of an artistic helping hand?

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1423392213' post='2684162'] Stewart Lee (again) in the Guardian today. The more I find out about this the more annoyed I get. So I am having an annoyed Sunday morning [url="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/feb/08/secondary-ticketing-legal-but-not-morally-right-sajid-javid"]http://www.theguardi...ght-sajid-javid[/url] [/quote] +1 ... beat me to it

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1423385940' post='2684070'] Great pics Steve and nice varilights [/quote] thanks - oh is that what they are called!no idea me i just stand at the back wearing black and try and get all the right notes in all the right order

not exactly last night was last friday but only just got some images - early start to the day as had to be soundchecked by 1pm - superb sound and lights by Panache Audio using a very nice compact RCF rig - then a spot of lunch from the venue and off down the road for a personal guided tour of the beeb (courtesy of our saxomophone playist who is a sound engineer with said establishment - the radio one live lounge is barely big enough to swing a cat!) and only two hours playing from about 830-1030pm and all packed down before 11pm - oh and a guest list including several top fashion models

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1423089960' post='2680759'] Staggering numbers - 28% of $7billion market tied up in Guitar Centre. If it does fall, it would take out a few manufacturers along the way. Might force Fender to trim down their range.. [/quote] An end to all the pointless cosmetic signature series on both fender and Squier range would not be a bad thing . Will be a shame for any small business that gets dragged under through no real fault of their own making

possibly making assumptions as to why the seller doesnt want to accept a bank transfer for example .... could be something like an overdraft which would wipe out the transfer and the seller needs the cash more urgently for other expenses rather than clearing the overdraft straight away - could be many different reasons - and obviously these sort of reasons any seller is possibly not going to want to divulge - could be a whole load of reasons why he wants the cash instead of a transfer but unless there is any suspicion at all on the provenance of the goods then imho the request for a cash sale shouldnt in itself be viewed as supicious

not a tone i play with personally but in the big bass scheme of things this little Eddie Offord production has got to be up there in the top ten [media]http://youtu.be/51oPKLSuyQY[/media] oh and this little bit of production loveliness from Trevor Horn too [url="http://youtu.be/vzxZzIiO84Y"]http://youtu.be/vzxZzIiO84Y[/url]

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1422213033' post='2669934'] glad this was shared, i could not work out how to copy it from facebook... [/quote] you poor thing you must also live in medway

[color=#0000cd]afternoon peeps putting this up on this forum as the items stolen are all effects - copied from their facespace page posted about midday today[/color] [color=#0000cd]am not the point of contact just spreading the word - any info please contact [/color][url="https://www.facebook.com/mannysmusicshop"][color=#0000cd][b]Manny's Music[/b][/color][/url][color=#0000cd] [b]01634 828898[/b][/color] URGENT AND SERIOUS MESSAGE, PLEASE SHARE! This will be a rather honest status from myself (Manny) so please be aware I refuse to take this light heartedly. I do apologies if i come across arrogant or craving for sympathy here. That is not the intent. Last night we had a break-in in the store. No guitars were stolen however a number of guitar effects pedals were. In a time where retail, business and people struggle and have done for a few years now, this is a real kick in the teeth, nuts, in fact any proverbial real place of pain. We all try really really hard to help people in the shop and we have put our heart, soul, health and money into all of this. And where the last few years have not been easy, we have struggled and survived and done the best we can do for everyone. IF you see any of these listed pedals being sold, passed around or anything, please let us know. There is one in particular pedal that was stolen that is rather rare, hard to find and actually my own possession. We do also have a crime report number so if you wish to contact them, we can supply that. Please spread the word, tell your friends, tell your local swap shops and music shops, who ever you would like to. I am FED UP of constantly having things happen which affect me, my family and my lively hood in what I've loved doing for more than 15 years now where other than being able to get cheap equipment, my aim was to always help musicians get to where they want. PEDALS STOLEN : MXR Variphase. (This pedal is very hard to find. Has no 'feet' on it and was on my own personal pedal board. I also have pictures if needed) Mooer Pitchbox Mooer Juicer Mooer Solo Boss Phase Shifter PH-3 In box Boss Overdrive OD-3 In box BBE Green Screamer Line 6 Pocket Pod Fender Overdrive In box Ibanez Tone Lok Tri-Mode Chorus TC-7 Digitech X-Series Turbo Flange Stereo Flanger In box Digitech Bad Monkey Danelectro Cool Cat Tremelo There may also have been a Stentor Student Violin (no case, no bow) however I am still figuring out if there was any more. Many thanks. Manny

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1422186991' post='2669552'] I realise I slagged off slapping videos, but I take it back when seeing this slapper. He is great fun and is clearly enjoying himself. I love his man whore look too What I do hate is when someone is demoing a bass and slaps all over it when you want to know how it sounds normally!
