Biggest musical mistake?

Never learning to sight read. A complete loss.

My dad told me, it was perfectly good advice, but I was a fucking young smug dolt, thinking I'd never need to do anything beyond 
wheedlywheedlywheedlywooooooooo.

Then jazz comes back around. Tatum, Miles, Jazz Messengers, Red Garland, I could go on for eons.

Completely and totally fucked, can't play with pros.

Turns out wheedlywheedlywheedlywooooooooo isn't enough.

Fuck.

Top that.

My, how things change.

Of all the stuff you probably have racked up, how much of it do you actually consistently use?

Because I have a console to hold my picks, screwdrivers and various crap.

And an enormous 4 bay 36 space wall that I only use 40% of.

Max.

If I would recap my console, a dumpy old soundcraft, and it was reallllly punchy and clean, I would be using it as a front end and to monitor through.. maybe mix through? It would be fun, but nope on the recall. Just like me, a fucking goldfish.

..that now administrate a fancy forum in the middle of nowhere..

I MAY NEVER RECAP IT.

Yeah SXSW.

I'm looking at you.

Sure, you're all about the party, flinging money around like vegas coke dealers..

..so I know it's payday for so many around here..

..and they need it.

So we will continue to welcome you.

Dammit.

I implore you, what is considered the most acoustically perfect space my liege?

Could it be the air conditioned shoe box in my back yard?

Also possible the bathroom in the master bath.

Who am I kidding, it's the drivers seat of my shitbox 2010 hemi police pursuit charger.



p.s. those emoticons blow. maybe I'm such a sadist, I just leave 'em?

Yeah, that's right, it's fucking St. Patricks day players!  

This party was kick ass until the lame smilies showed up.

I thought I was going to fix those?

Well Hello people!
How d'you like that smell of a freshly refurbished forum?
The place was built on the site of an ancient haunted forum, so you might come across a few weird appearances — but rest assured, we've had pest control and ghostbusters in before we opened the gates.

Let's all sit around the table and touch hands.
Now, if everyone could be quiet for a moment.

Crunch?

Are you there?

If you are there and want to talk to us, move that VU meter, Crunch.

Hi Crunch. It's good to have you here.
