never enough - the cure

Yet Cream were founded well over 50 years ago! A few years before there was basically no such thing as a teenager and Max Bigraves would have been fairly risqué.

This. Possibly try AWS free tier. An S3 bucket can host static pages. If this is all just unintelligible jargon wix.com is easy to use and can cost less than £5 a month.

Good luck. Ritters are visually very interesting and unique. Speaking of which I guess semiotics also play a part. The contestants on The Appreciate may be tools a lot of the time but with the clothes and right surroundings appear convincing. The same can be said for a musician. Malcom Maclaren may have been detrimental to The Sex Pistols in that he didn’t appreciate the strength of the songs and they had a core of competent musicians. But he did understand semiotics and marketing. Edit: What’s this got to do with tone and wood? How good an instrument sounds may depend on far more than just what its made of. Im sure there are studies out there where people judge the sound of an instrument as being better if they know it’s a famous make. Violins being a good example. There are also cases where world famous classical musicians busk underground railway stations and people walk on by. This maybe because people are busy and absorbed in the humdrum it may also be that without all the signals of success, power and theatre the music and musician is diminished. Without a grasp of semiotics Hitler would have been just another bitter, twisted nut job ranting at passers by.

Has the effect of placebo on tone been considered? An instrument may just be the sum of its parts but if someone really believes it sounds better and it gives them confidence they will most likely play it better.

Jazz is such a broad church. Some I love, some I hate. Kind of Blue for example is the perfect 1am soundtrack whereas beaches Brew is a difficult album to digest at any hour of the day.

I don’t think anyone under 30 uses Facebook …

Too commercialised. The early stuff was pretty good but the experimental pineapple remixes are just wrong.

Sorry but that would include Tom Waits one of the best songwriters and lyricists ever…

There is also over-saturation and record company pressure to repeat the same format to get the same sales figures. I like Pizza occasionally but don’t want to eat it 3 times a day, sit on a bus with all the passengers wearing Pizza T-Shirts, read endless articles praising Pizza, listen to radio hacks proclaiming the magnificence of Pizza then find the next Pizza is basically the same as the one before and on it goes!

iSometimes it’s over exposure that kills any enjoyment of a band. I finally started to appreciate Nirvana a few years ago. At the time I liked them in the same way I liked Mudhoney or The Pixies and then came Nevermind. If Debaser was playing whilst I bought my groceries, Radio DJs warbled on to Carol from Romford over the closing bars, Every one on the Tube was wearing the T Shirt, The tabloids were using lyrics as headline puns etc then I doubt if I could have listened to The Pixies for a decade either. Edit: I now like Nirvana, I wonder if “more than words” did for Extreme what “sex on fire” did for Kings of Leon?

led zeppelin - never liked plant’s voice and some of the lyrics are awful.

well i guess if it sounds like a strat rather than a les paul there is a (definitive?) answer out there…

has anyone ever put strat pickups in the correct position on a les paul with a strat tremelo bridge? that would be worth listening to.

Which is a good answer. There have been so many variations on a theme it’s pretty difficult to find a definitive answer. A reissued telecaster bass is probably the closest thing to the original unless you have very deep pockets.
