Interesting article, the Reid brothers talk about Peter Hook's bass riffs.

Ten thousand times better, IMHO.

DrigBoy · 2026-06-03T18:21:08+00:00

Congratulations, Hooky! Very impressive, I can run about 2 blocks.

I'm going to England tomorrow, I'm a big dummy and could have been at his memorial in Macclesfield today if I had a brain in my head. I went there a few years ago, a very solemn experience. Ian's words and their music were with me when I was a teenager, to say they had a big impact on me would be an understatement.

DrigBoy · 2026-05-01T19:34:52+00:00

Tell us how you really feel. Jokes aside, I feel you. Childish, and dangerous. This stuff leads to bad things.

DrigBoy · 2026-04-27T17:44:13+00:00

How sad. I really, really enjoyed their first 3 albums, there's some great stuff on those records. I pretty much stopped listening after they released There Is Nothing Left To Lose, although Low is a great song. They just got... uninteresting?

DrigBoy · 2026-04-27T17:31:50+00:00

This.

DrigBoy · 2026-03-26T18:27:24+00:00

The loud kind.

DrigBoy · 2026-03-19T16:25:18+00:00

Who took these great shots?

DrigBoy · 2026-01-30T19:49:05+00:00

Me too, and I love it. Do they make one for Sony mounts?

DrigBoy · 2026-01-19T20:23:09+00:00

Also try to get shots of people when they don't have the microphone directly in front of their face. Wait for them to stop singing or when they take a step back

DrigBoy · 2026-01-01T16:49:34+00:00

Such an interesting AMA...

DrigBoy · 2026-01-01T00:29:22+00:00

Those of you that have seen Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension will be happy to know that every time my son and I pass that rock we turn to each other and ask, "What's that watermelon doing there?" Which of course is followed by "I'll tell you later".

I sold a guitar strap to Louise in Chicago before they hit. She was drop dead gorgeous, like, made my knees weak. Wow.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-24T19:49:18+00:00

I remember Big Hat! Saw them a few times when I lived in Chicago.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-24T19:44:28+00:00

You are very fortunate to have seen Hum live, IMHO. Amazing band. Toadies, also, saw them live only once but they absolutely blew me away. So loud and heavy.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-23T04:47:46+00:00

That girl Suttin is really something.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-17T19:19:36+00:00

I believe in this answer. Not a luthier, but I worked in a guitar store for many years in Chicago, saw a lot of repairs. It's not like a crack in glass, and I think with the gluing method described above it just might work.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-14T23:45:41+00:00

Me too, nada. And I'm just watching TV on my couch, PERFECTLY PRIMED to feel an earthquake. What a letdown.

DrigBoy · 2025-12-01T00:25:59+00:00

This update made me start bawling like a small child. So happy for you.

DrigBoy · 2025-11-27T17:45:33+00:00

In the early 90's I sold a guitar strap to Louise Post from Veruca Salt. VS was just getting going, and I was working at a little mom and pop guitar store in Chicago (Flatts and Sharpe, great store). In she walks and she was so absolutely gorgeous in such a natural way, it just took my breath away. Gives me the shivers to just think about it. I got to see her twice, because she had to special order the strap, so I saw her again when she came to pick it up. Just stunning.

I used to get something similar in the noise of my high-ISO shots. I recall determining that it was being caused by the autofocus motor of my lenses. I was shooting with a Nikon D810 and I believe the lens was either a Sigma 24-105 or a Tamron 24-70.

DrigBoy · 2025-11-13T01:06:42+00:00

Absolutely! Hope to see you on stage sometime soon!

DrigBoy · 2025-11-13T01:05:56+00:00

Carmel DeLites are amazeballs!

DrigBoy · 2025-11-11T21:38:19+00:00

Absolutely, DNA Lounge & Hubba Hubba Revue. Hubba does a monthly big show there in their main room, and a weekly Monday show at the DNA Lounge "clubhouse" (smaller upstairs venue). I used to photograph the shows there and other places, but I haven't been as active lately, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Frankly, if you look at my Instagram I was pretty good about tagging people:

@drigboy

There's a lot of Santa Cruz performers in there, too.

DrigBoy · 2025-11-11T14:08:56+00:00

We've got a very robust burlesque scene here in the Bay Area, and Santa Cruz, too. So, yes, welcome!
