Nah. It was my college radio show my freshman year. I'm a dropout. Tuition is expensive. The station is cool. Once I get a car (I live too far to walk) I'll start DJ'ing again.

On saturday nights there is a show called Radio Free Radio hosted by Steve. He is a great experimental DJ. Very knowledgeble guy. He did all kinds of cool stuff. He'd put tape on records to make wierd sounds loop and all kinds of crazy stuff. One night we added some Sega Genesis Streets of Rage music to his show and put it through different effects that the studio section happened to have. Good times. They do an MP3 stream and an ogg vorbis stream, you should check it out. Steve is a really cool guy, he introduced me to Half-Japanese and Gate.

people around me wish i did air drums, since i always hit stuff around to make it sound like drums kicking a rhythm; most people get too desperate around me for that

Hahajaja....and theres a difference?? I guess bass has a longer neck...and you'd pick the air instead of pluck....rite?? heheheh

Yeah, & ya' pretend the body of the bass is hanging low, like Krist Novoselic.
& when you're barefoot, you think you Krist on stage. Trust me, I've thought of all this shit.

Rofl!!! Wow you really have.......HAve you ever rolled around on the floor playin guitar like Wayne Coyne?? I would if i had the space...

I would to. I dfeinetly have no room to do that either. Or, we could pretend to be Nigel Tufnel, & fall down slowly to our backs while playing a radical lead solo. (ha ha I fucking love Spinal Tap)

Who the heck is Nigel Tufnel?:confused: ...but i think i know what technique ur talkin about....i think i saw Thurston do it on the live video of I wanna be Yr. Dog.....LIIVE with Iggy Pop. Seen it??

He's a guitar player in this group/movie/spoof called, "Spinal Tap". They make fun of all these rock & roll stereotypes. Rob Riener is in it. Also,
Micheal McKean. The guy that plays Nigel Tufnel is named, Christopher Guest.
They really are a group. They wrote all the songs to the soundtrack themselfs.
I definetly suggest you check this movie out.
You'll laugh your fucking ass of.

Ive seen that movie!!! Many o' time....bloody hillarious....when the 3" model of Stonehenge descends from the stage lights....hhahhaha. Wasnt it true that after they made that movie....they decided to make a real record and call themselves Spinal Tap? Cos the movie was made before they were a real band right???

The prospect of people who haven't seen Spinal Tap is quite overwhelming... seriously, see the movie. I suspect you won't find a person here who won't agree with that sentiment.

*Edit: Damn bloody people typing quicker than me.

"This piece is called, "Lick My Love Pump"
-Nigel Tufnel

(one of the best lines in the movie)

It goes to 11. It's one louder.

" Well, why don't you make 10 the loudest number? ..... These go to 11."

Spinal Tap is great.

"We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening."


Ooh, I found the full transcript. Here is the part I was looking for.

Nigel: Ian, can I have a word with you for a minute?
Ian: Yes, of course.
Nigel: ...uh, a couple of problems with the...
Ian: What?
Nigel: ...arrangments backstage...
Ian: What exactly?
Nigel: Well, uh..
Ian: What, I mean...
Nigel: Well, no, there's some problems here, I don't even know
where to start, alright? This, uh..
Ian: Soundcheck? Whats, whats, whats wrong?
Nigel: No, no, no, no this....look, look, look, there's a little
problem with the... look this, this miniature bread. It's
like... I've been working with this now for about half an
hour. I can't figure out... let's say I want a bite,
right, you've got this...
Ian: You'd like bigger bread?
Nigel: Exactly! I don't understand how...
Ian: You could fold this though.
Nigel: Well, no then it's half the size.
Ian: Not the bread, you could fold the meat.
Nigel: Yeah, but then it, then it breaks up, breaks apart like
this.
Ian: No, no, no, you put it on the bread like this, you see
Nigel: But then, if you keep folding it, it keeps breaking...
Ian: Why do you keep folding it?
Nigel: And then you...everyhing has to be folded, and then it's
this, and I don't want this. I want large bread so that I
can put this...
Ian: Right
Nigel: ...so then it's like this, this doesn't work because then
...it's all....
Ian: 'cause it hangs out like that?
Nigel: Look...
Ian: Yeah.
Nigel: Would you... be holding this?
Ian: No, I don't want to eat... I wouldn't want to put that in
my mouth, no you're right, Nigel, you're right...
Nigel: No, alright 'A', exhibit 'A', now we move on to this,
look, look who's in here? No one! And then in here there's
a little guy, look! So it's, it's a complete catastrophe!
Ian: You're right, Nigel, Nigel calm down, calm down.
Nigel: Calm d...good, no it's not a big deal, it's a joke, it's
really, it's...
Ian: I'm sorry, it's just some crappy univeristy, you know
Nigel: I know, Yeah, right, it's a joke, it's all a j..
Ian: Really, I don't want it to affect your performance.
Nigel: It's not gonna affect my performance, don't worry about
it, alright, just hate it, it's really...
Ian: It won't happen again.
Nigel: It does disturb me.
Ian: It's disgusting.
Nigel: But I'll rise above it, I'm a professional, right?
Ian: Alright.

I started playing guitar in front of the mirror recently, to prepare for playing live. I have to say it really helped. I bet most people have played in front of the mirror at some point.

To be fair, if you get a guitar because you want an instrument to play, then you're an idiot. There are better instruments, hundreds of 'em, to actually play, like, music and stuff. None of them can shit on a guitar for pose-a-bility though. Any guitarist without a full-length mirror is suspect and should be shot under the 'ugly indie bands' clause of the international laws of rock and/ or roll.

i didn't wanna read this thread but based on the title, you narcisistic bastard

That made me smile.

i sometimes do, in teh bathroom, good sound there too
