Nothingman

Easy now. This is the internet, you know. The place were opinion comes to die. 😉 P.S. I agree to an extent.

So what is Grunge? The eternal question. Let’s stroke our chins over this one. Did you have to be from Seattle? Yes and No, but an association with the North West was a certain. It was born out of a frustration of lack of touring bands in Seattle abs therefore a home grown scene developed. The scene that spawned grunge is very specific to that city. Stone Temple Pilots were an alt rock band from San Diego. Did they have elements of what was know as grunge? Yes. But so did bands both before and after the grunge moniker- Smashing Pumpkins, Live, REM, Pavement, Butthole surfers, Sonic Youth, pixies et al. However, their not, in no way grunge. It was all alternative rock, grunge was quite a specific sub set. Not that it’s relevant, but They sold millions and were massive in the 90’s. Fair play to them. Were STP a grunge band? No. Were they an alt rock band with massive grunge influences? Yes.

Love this film. Not seen in a while, so thanks- that’s today’s watch sorted.

Stone Temple Pilots were not a grunge band.

Cross Eyed and Painless - Talking Heads

Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2

I don’t like him.

Just purchased a Japanese pb-43 from Guitarzilla based in Leeds. Great service and a great selection of Japanese guitars. Oh yeah, it’s all Japanese stuff!

I was fond of a pedal. But not that fond. Mike purchased said pedal and I was fond of the money. I hope Mike finds fondness in the pink pre-amp. A least for a bit. Top Basschatter.

To join three song writers on a new studio (but some live project). Must be relaxed, yet committed. Good egg and patience of a saint. Songs ready to record (One of us has tracked demo drums - or is soon). Doesn't need to be a flash Harry/Harriet. Alt/Indie/Lo-fi Some influences include: Teenage Fanclub, Bevis Frond, Death Cab For Cutie, Frightened Rabbit, War On Drugs, The Cranberries, Band Of Horses, Superdrag, Archers of Loaf and Pixies.

I just need a pair of bell bottoms and a pack of 20 Rothmans and I could be one of the crew. Amazing immersive film.

Joe bought a LS2 pedal from me. Transaction was faultless. Payment was swift. Nothingman was happy.

Andy wiped away my tears and relieved me of my Jack Casady bass. To comfort me, he made me a mattress of crisp bank notes and left me to slumber. Great chap, great to do business with. Recommend

Sold Ian a set of tuners. Quick payment, great coms, extremely smooth transaction. Happy days.

A timely video for me. I have it in my head that I need to get a player/Mexican fender. However top brass Squier (modded over time) may be a better option. is it CV/VM that we top of the range?

Think I’ve sorted it…. Lets see how it behaves in the morrow

I’m borrowing a Steinberg UR22 interface and using with Mac Book Pro. However, playing anything back is all broken up. Logic, Spotify, you name it. Headphones and monitors. it sounds like something is struggling. Has anyone ever experienced similar? IMG_1766.MOV
