Suzie, hehe, "962" is a car, made for endurance racing by Porsche! That throws a whole different light on it, huh?! anyway, I'm glad you're getting fun out of the SG. I completely understand the theraputic side too - gunning it on a nice heavy tonal setting after an annoying day at work! Keep on rockin!

However, have you ordered stuff from GAK before? If so, did it always arrive in good condition, or was any of it ever broken?!

bubbles - girlie... ain't seen you for ages... how're ya doin'...

AZ??? I thought you was a Cali girl.....

then I was wondering.. since you are one of the few guys in here that actually knows about him....
do you recall the moment where Artaud re-enacted death by beubonic plague in front of a shock, horrified and mocking audience in Paris.....???
my track depicts that moment of his life.. and the intensity of the idea he was trying to deliver..

when you finally get to hear this track... you may be one of the few people that could connect with it at the spiritual and philosophical level because of you knowledge of the man and his work...
I tried to capture the extremities of his spirit in this one..
and all along it is held together with harmony that is just a little unstable - which I believe resided at the core of his personality..
if I've done my bit well... you should be able to see Artaud in this track.. giving that fatefull lecture in Paris..

this is of course assuming that you don't think the track is utter crap... lmao...

step out side London in any direction and two things become clear:

1 - you are now abroad

2 - you're now heading north...

England is in London and London is the south pole

Stace - The Punani?... on a morning radio show... have you any idea what that means.... roflmfao.....

sheeeet.... what an awesome show....... sounds really funny...

ha.. so are the girlies right.... do the guys most like it to look like a 6 year old, an ! [lol..], a fresh cut lawn, or as the grand architect intended [which includes being trimmed up just a little so there's no tobaco hanging out all over the place when in a bikini.. but the rest remains natural]...

lol... this is awesome....

Guys...
time for a survey... the reason for this is so that the nice ladies in here know what is the optimum hair style to choose based upon good honest scientific data collection and observation...

I can do science me... lol..

962 - my two experiences ordering from Gak..

1) I order a Line6 AX212 amp (Flextone II but a bit older and a bit higher end)... after about a week of hassling them they tell me they don't actually have any, would I like another one? Yes please I say, I'll have the old-school style Fender Twin amp which they were selling pretty cheap. After a week of hassling they tell me they don't have that one either. But they have the ney pro-tube one which is another £200 to me... I think about it for a bit and then say yes. (got it for £850, which is almost £200 less than their online price...)

2)i order an Ibanez bass guitar... after about a week of hassling them it turns out they don't actually have one. I ask for a different one and get that nice and cheap too... love the machine too...

austin..sorry to bother yu but here goes my reminder,,,,,,,,,,are yu done with the symphony x thing...?.............

steven,,,,,,,,,,,,mail me........and how is atn?............take care.

optical - some of those mags are really interesting...

I have one that shows how to design an accoutactally perfect studio... it's mindblowing and really really costly...

and there are tips as to how to get the bast out of you home studio.. doing the accoustic thing much cheaper and what the drawbacks would be so you can compensate....

it also pointed out the drawbacks of mixing on cans [which I do but I have no choice]... but it did help me compensate...

I agree on the muffin thing... kojaks and airstrips are for pervs... trimmed up and natural are definately more womanly..
the guys talking about hygene and such bollox is because they are pervs and are trying to dupe their girlies into looking like a lil' baby... yukky...

but it's rare... very rare....

so if you look in here every day and expect to see your quesion answered.. and it never gets mentioned the next time Satch is in here [which could days days or months away]... please don't be surprised or upset...
that's just how it is....

and try not to take to heart crass comments about being boring or whatever....
you posted the same thing over and over... some people get a little shittie about that sort of thing.....

but when the posts like:
"JOE WHEN YOU COME NEXT IN MY TOWN AT PERU AND YOU COME MY HOUSE MY SISTER IS MAKE GOOD GOOD LLAMA CURRY AND YOU SHOW ME PLAY GUITAR

and they show up 20 time on the spin... lmao.. then ya can't blame 'em...

stay lucky.. I hope all goes well for you...

Seems like all the english people woke up at the same time.

bahduh: The Bob asked a valid question. Its starqte that needs to dump Tim Webley's ass or go see Dr. Phil.

If anyone of you liked Robert Fripp's soundscape stuff, download one of his mp3's on this webpage. Its really nice and dreamy.

962 i dont actualy use the 2x2 to record because its just a way of conecting my pod to the computer to control the pod on the computer. no audio singnal travles thru midi. to record i now use an m-audio sound card which seems to work great. much better then th old line in on my computer :p as for speed the pod seems to react realy well to computer comands (once set up correctly) it even control ssome cubase comands!!!

on a differernt topic............. my talk2joe cd arrived pity only 11 and a half tracks work!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrr i orderd nine gave 8 to friends and family and MY copy dosnt work!!! how much does that suck!!!

baduh, all that bombing and fighting sucks. Stay safe. I am doing well, thanks. Much better than last week :)

Clarky, we can't have tobaco hanging out all over the place, now can we? ROTF! I think you need a catagory between a putting green and a Bin-Laden beard. Something like nicely trimed trim. That's where I'd put my vote. Shaved beaver - ugh! lol! That's just foul. It's like saying "look at me, I'm 3 years old" As for the landing strip, or ! as you put it, unless you're a swimsuit model, it makes no sense. The putting green is more reasonable, yet uncomfortable if to short, and a full tabacco patch reminds me of the comedian Carrot Top wearing a bike helmet. Hope that helps your scientific research. lol!

crushingday, sorry to hear about your T2J cd, but at least you didn't get...THE BADGER SONG! lol!

Man, it's COLD out this morning. It was 37 degrees at 7 a.m. I'm enjoying the cooler weather in the 60's during the day. I love spring and fall.

Michelle - yeah.. maybe putting green is a little too short... and it bring my cheeks up in a rash... lol...

I guess next you have a trimmed hedge... lmao...

then jungle....

hedges and jungle don't bring me face up in a rash... lol... so those two get my vote....

michelle: true very true but the badger song is a legend!! i even found a dance remix of it!!! it did make me wanna thro my computer thru the window but the badger song is cool!!

If anyone cares that much . .

There's my vote.

We had a masterclass with Gary Husband today (the drummer for Allan Holdsworth). The guy can obviously really play the drums, but it was so unbelievably not up my street. He had a few interesting things to say about practice and creativity, but he was just a bit too Avant Garde for my tastes. Meh.

Clarky - That's cool, no worries. Dublin is a great city, by the way (although I'm sure you've been there before). The pubs there are unreal; us Celts really know how to party... lmao

962 - I've never ordered anything from GAK before, nor any other online store as of yet. And having read Mr. Huxley's summary of his experiences I may well have to abstain and actually go there (it's not too far)! I'd never buy from somewhere like E-Bay, because I don't usually like the idea of paying money for something I've never tried, particularly when the seller isn't a reputable store. What I tend to do is try something in my 'local' (Anderton's) and then if I like it I'll look for the best price online. Although, if Anderton's don't have it I'm usually a bit stuck, because they won't order something in unless you're defintely going to buy it. Which I guess is fair enough.

Jelly Man - Just wondering - have you ever been to Albert's Music in Guildford? Now that's one hell of an experiece; it reminds me of The League Of Gentlemen. You walk in the door and the guy (I can only assume his name is Albert) stares at you and goes "Can I help yooooooou?". It's very much a local shop for local people! lmao. By the way, you realise we still haven't met up yet, right? We should do something about that...

Lately I have had this sudden urge to get more grounded or to get back to basics sooooo..

I have spent the better part of the last two weeks listening to the Motorhead box set "Stone Deaf Forever", 99 tracks on 5 CD's that pretty much covers it all... Well, at least it covers the seven deadly sins in spades so to speak (chuckle loudly to myself)...

Behringer's V-AMP Pro. Any good? How does it compare to the POD XT Pro? Anybody know? It's about half the price, so if it's even nearly as good then I'd be impressed...
