Iggy - what will we name your new lovely bikie? (peeps it's red and white).

I vote for "Candy".

Anybody else?

Seems quiet here today.....

Slanshroom - how's the baby? Rephrase.... how's the Mac, but also how's young chap (John?)? BTW, did you have a surge protected socket in use with the Mac? It sounds possibly not, if so should be pretty cheap layer of protection

Michelle - how's the head now? Mines been banging for days now, grrr. It's probably Ga-ga's revenge over Poker face gag

NJBeast - cool to see you at Chickenfoot. Sorry for the blank look as you said hello, but as we barely met at Cardiff I didn't recognise you. My bad! How did your gig go?

Roo - you're quiet fella. Busy adding items to the site or creating another cool app perhaps?

Glitzman - hey there, running going well as usual! Nice one

Do The Stu - strewth, earthquakes every few months... I had no idea they were that frequent. Are you sure the one during the LA CF gig wasn't Chad at sound check?

Cheese - were the December 04 shows the ones on the webcast? You know, with sign my pants guy?

Igneousiceman - Cav showed amazing power in Paris! That was a helluva weekend of sport, although Valentino stuffed it up a little for me ha ha. NIIIIIIIIICE BIKE. Insert envious face graphic here > _____

Scubadaz - Joe must have flicked on the Time Machine while I was posting so that mine came out after Axe's ; ) Sorry bout that! Meantime, good news on the job front again. I see you're not sure about it, but still good that you got it

Yep, sure about Schumi as no doubt you've seen since. Have a friend on the inside. We were discussing it on Saturday, then he gave me the early heads up

Skippygirl - when you said you wished you were as fit as that girl, did you mean fit.... or fit? Har har

I suggested red rooster or red rocker for Iggy's bike

Cosmic Ape - that sounds like quite a process to get into school. Congrats on being more than capable. Nice one! Are you in your second year now? How long are you studying for and what do you hope to do after?

Axeshredder - woah, er 'interesting' guitar there.

Blue Moon - you're a bit quiet. Are you on holiday maybe?

Do The Stu - almost forgot, I can't see a response anywhere regarding the Rubina cover but maybe you emailed it as I've had a few issues with that. Be cook if you could send it again.

Your bass looks cool, is it that exact model & colour? Nice

Dog with Crown and Earring

axe; looks like they went back in time to the 60's

Hi everyone... I'm back from an awesome few days in Santa Cruz. I love it there...I always have a great time. This photo sums up one of my favorite moments of the trip. ;-)

Also, I discovered a new band that's pretty cool, thanks to my friend...Metric. They're from Canada...kind of indie with a new wave twist. Their singer, Emily Haines, has a beautiful voice.

I know they're different from what most people here listen to, but check out their newest single:

Help I'm Alive (album version)
Help I'm Alive (acoustic version)

If anyone gives it a listen, I'd love to hear what you think. I liked this song so much that I bought their entire discography right away...

I'm gonna go catch up on past posts now. It shouldn't take too long...there are only 100 or so. You all were pretty quiet...

Do The Stu - need to fix linkies.

Thanks to the person/people (I lost track) who posted the Chop Shop Guitar pages for Satch and Steve Vai. It's a nice change to hear what some more mainstream musicians think of them.

You may have heard of the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. And maybe you've seen the movie The Lost Boys...it was filmed all over Santa Cruz.

Also, the lighthouse that's my icon on Twitter is in Santa Cruz...I took that picture a few years ago.

And I fixed the links to the music...thanks (here and here, if you've already marked the post as read).

You mentioned the Time Machine album...do you like Thinking Of You? That's one of my all-time favorite Satch ballads.

We don't know why Chickenfoot is skipping the northwest...it's probably the (lack of) promoters, unfortunately. You should make the trip to Lake Tahoe though, if you can...there will be a mini T2J gathering there.

And yes, that's the exact color/model of my bass. It looks better in person, though...depending on the light it can look as dark as black or as light as blue. Getting back to Rubina, Stuuu's bass on that song on LISF is the same color as mine (althoug his is fretless...mine isn't).

Here is a bad picture I took of my bass a few years ago, when it was newish.

Quick edit - Love your shirt in the DWCAE video...

Wishful thinking: Maybe the delay is due to Chickenfoot being added to the bill. ;-)

Do The Stu - Ah! So Santa Cruz is like a beachside theme park? Cool! I love our beach carnivals here. Great at night after dark.

I love the name Pee-Wee for Iggy's bike- LOL! I also thought of:

Comet
Dancer
Prancer
Rudolph
Lightning
Flicka

Can't wait for the CF gig in Australia.......

Well if anything, the plywood guitar is a conversation piece with musicians and guitar fans alike...that says something!

Just like the CF logo , Don...and Magic 8balls

Cube- lol...well if it doesnt ring like a gibson...the collectors will grab them up....definitely worth trying....though i can imagine some horror stories of how much they could end up warping...ill assume the plies are hand picked and flawless.

Austin!!!

What up Brutha'?

Thanks for the well tidings. Lookin forward to being a daddy again.

Wish Joe would come back to Portland tho...

TheFireman

Oh yes, it's SATCHMOSIS at work!

Joe, yer killin meh, LOL!!!
