troubles from within
Funny things happen on band night, like guitars get restrung, setups are done and you continue on your way. Like i fixed a grounding issue in my modified jagmaster, the pickups are still active as fuck though. It needed a little bit of setup work, put a shim behind the neck for a better break point, adjusted the intonation, and generally made it playable. stoked. demo from when it still had humbuckers:
Followed that with fixing an input jack issue on my `72 Harmony Les Paul clone, ran it through a quick setup and intonation job. I had honestly forgotten how much i love the sound out of this guitar, how the neck feels, everything, probably why it was my number one go-to guitar from 1997 - 2006 and was then replaced with a 1965 Fender Mustang.
I digress, the reason for this post is the troubles that came once we showed up at the space, my Vox AC100 CPH died. power on, tubes warm, hit the standby on, and it sounded like the tubes discharged, or who knows, power stayed on, standby light gone, nothing no sound, dead. So it goes in for warranty. Aside from having a gig in two days, i was also planning on finishing/doing the amp demo that i posted a teaser of ages ago, so i suppose that will have to wait.

enjoy the quiet
Today was mis-spent some may say, between finishing Michael Turner's new book 8x10 Amazon/kindle link, playing the Skate 3 Demo and generally being a lazy sod.
This of course is of no surprise as it is Gig weekend, as in a gig tonight, and another tomorrow.. no promises on destruction this evening as, well, we're going to need our gear in working order tomorrow. i mean, chances are, KP and Bobby may have a round two of their death match or maybe we'll get into it again who is to say really..
but one thing is for sure good times and punk rock will be had by all

spammers are funny
i just found this comment nestled somewhere in the archives of this blog it makes no sense at all however it is pure hilarity

always in moderation
the internet, much like the rest of modern woes, is a fantastic thing.. in moderation. take your social networks, twitter, empire ave, facebook, myspace, mybook, facespace, myface, spacebook.. whatever.. give out all the information you think you need to, to find your friends, and then.. give away more.. while we wine and bitch about how our rights and privacy as citizens are being erroded away by government, and big corporations, here we are ever day letting them slip through out fingers, by clicking here, adding there, paying no attention to what it is that we do..
but fuck what do i know.. i'm on all of it. in some form or another..
i loathe it
i'm going back to read ONE thing on wikipedia.. and then clicking seventeen hundred links
blogger ..... i've missed you
Well maybe missed is slightly the wrong word. A synonym for the word i am really looking for, you see, i've never been much for this blog game, had plenty to say i'm sure, and the fact that i've updated things all over the internet would agree. see i started using blogger as a news aggrigator for dotNuxx, and well that kind of went sideways over the years, never had a way to merge them all together, and that i find funny, especially as ftp publishing disappears from the things that we can use this tool for. how do i merge what were three seperate feeds into one blog? how? is it possible? will it take time? why can't it be automated? they are all stored here, on the blogger side of things..
return for refund where applicable
So I've kinda jumped off this whole blog thing for a while now, i mean i still sort of updated an lj account, but i haven't really had much to say. and then.. well then i got hooked on the twitter, it is like crack for A.D.D. kids and textaholics seriously, fb but worse. i made friends, enemies, and more friends then things changed.. i became a stock on a market place.. that sells people http://empireavenue.com ( they need to verify this page belongs to me: EAVB_YVGHXDDYMC )
anyways... it looks like i may be returning. and returning to here, as my own failed attempts at web hosting have pretty much gone to shit in the past few years.
