OT: Off Topic 2018 part II - Warm enough for ya?

[chizzler]

A little commotion down at 'The Wall' as a man is demanding the Hampton Police call the Coast Guard to rescue his drone that crashed into the Atlantic.

Idiot. Sure, let's take away the boats and all while something more urgent happens.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Nah. It's just that life is too short to listen to ****ty music...

To each his own.

There's no accounting for taste Joe. Case in point, Lonnie's wife.

I need aloe for this burn.

Ouch! Feeling the burn on that one from here!

When I'm driving and Morrissey or the Smiths come on the radio, I have to fight the urge to drive into an embankment just to make it stop. That's how much I dislike him. He's literally the worst.

Like Duane (Christopher Walken) in Annie Hall

Johnny Marr is an amazing and totally unique guitar player who merged Mick Ronson-rock, Bert Jansch folk jangle and intricacies, with West African "highlife" music.

I can understand not liking Morrisey's voice or his themes, but the music is amazing, and I totally overlooked it at the time as I was a hardcore metal head in the 80s.

Recently bought a new guitar chorus pedal from a local company (Source Audio in Woburn) and been using it to play all those Johnny Marr and other 80s sounds. So much fun.

Boss Ce-2 owns all when it comes to chorus pedals

 

[Kovi]

i love this version

It's the iconic classic for sure, but the originals haven't really been made since the late 80s. The new reissues aren't the same. (though I haven't tried the Waza craft stuff).

Lots of new models out there that can get you that same sound AND lots of others that the Ce-2 couldn't.

Gotta give a shout out to the local guys of Source Audio. If you buy their chorus, or their flanger or their phaser.... you can download software and basically get the other 2 pedals loaded onto the one you own. Massive tweability.

I had my Ce2 for years. It's my go to for chorus. I've got other analog chorus pedals if i need them but i usually reach for the trusty ce2

I wish that I kept all of my old stuff from the 80s. I had an Ibanez tube screamer from 84, a Ce-2 and a DD-2 from 85 or so. Had no idea that they'd be fetching big prices on Reverb 30 years later.

 

[JRull86]

EarthQuaker Devices makes really good stuff. They have some crazy reverbs and delays. I have a fuzz from them that is incredible.

I've got every pedal I've ever bought. The majority still have their original boxes, paperwork and receipts! Same with guitars. I don't sell things. Once I buy it it stays. You never know when you'll want it again. I do wish I kept my old guitar magazines. I know some got wrecked either by time or water damage and I know I chucked a bunch back impulsively about ten years ago. Doh! But there a few that pop up every now and then as a reminder that I chucked the rest of them. Very annoying.

Yep. True story. Another great example is Kovi. I assume she lost a bet to end up with you, but hey, it looks like it all worked out...

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Like Duane (Christopher Walken) in Annie Hall

Dave, thanks for this clip.

I completely forgot that Walken was in Annie Hall.

Woody Allen's sexual preferences not withstanding, he has made some of my favorite comedies ever. Annie Hall, Bananas, and Zelig are all high on the list.

Lonnie, just let it go.

You got owned on that one, and nothing you do or say is going to make it better...even a 55 gallon drum of aloe. Although, you probably have some other uses for it that will make you forget the pain

I don't have any of their stuff but have watched a lot of youtube demos on them. Crazy wild stuff.. the pink one with the unicorn and rainbow on it I remember being totally off the wall.

Well this is just hurtful. If I had any feelings or valued your opinion in any way, shape, or form, this would sting. As I don't, it's all good.

Watching the 2000’s, CNN’s new miniseries.

The premier episode is all about tv shows in the 2000’s.

I highly recommend it especially if you’re interested in tv and/or history.

It’s crazy to think 2000 was 18 years ago.

And the Y2K "scare"

Oh no all the computers are going to crash and planes will fall from the sky and we're all gonna dddiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee

I admit it. I'll be marrying up.

I feel that. Got completely lucky my wife had any interest in me when we met. Still haven't figured out why. lol

I was working at a reseller in 1999, and we made so much money selling consulting services and software to make sure companies were Y2K compliant. It was ridiculous because we all knew nothing was going to happen.

One of the biggest rip offs of all time. Companies spent billions on that fraud.
