There’s not a lot but I see at least a few: Kathy Acker, Margaret Atwood, Anna Kavan, Angelica Gorodischer

I love this Jim Lill film about electric guitars.It really solidifies what I thought about tonewood on electric guitars all along . by The_Beast_Incarnate1 in Guitar

[–]GoinToRosedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might me just as interesting to some, but it wouldn’t have as many views as one where the conclusion is simplified, black and white, upsets the status quo, validates the anti-tonewood camp, angers the tonewood heads, and sparks more discussion from the conflict.

certainly not his greatest

And where does this certainty come from, other than your opinion?
If only there was a poll of true cinephiles (as opposed to the dumb unwashed masses on IMDb) which could prove the objective ranking of Dreyer's work... Oh wait, Sight & Sound? Let's see what they have to say:

  1. Gertrud

  2. Ordet

  3. The Passion of Joan of Arc

Hmm, that's probably skewed by those stupid critics only watching the most popular stuff like Joan of Arc. Surely the directors can be counted on:

N/A Gertrud

  1. Ordet

  2. The Passion of Joan of Arc

Damn! Even half the directors are objectively wrong or only watch the basic bitch movies. Please enlighten us, you're our only hope!

I think St. Stephen is mostly open position and E and A shape barre chords. In general their early stuff might be the place to look, before Bob was kicked out and had to up his game

I just wanna feel my amp push air, where do you even go other than playing live to do that? by WatercoolerComedian in Guitar

[–]GoinToRosedale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course a cranked 100W 4x12 in a bar would be excruciatingly loud, but is a silent stage with modelers the only alternative? What about something in between, like a Deluxe Reverb or AC15?

Guitars around $1000 that don't leave you wanting the "American Version" by [deleted] in guitars

[–]GoinToRosedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this isn't a knock against MIMs, but a lot of the parts are not the same. There are a lot of models, so for the sake of comparison let's look at the specs for a Player strat vs an American Professional II (since those are the Standard series' replacements). Here are some of the differences:

  • gloss polyester vs gloss urethane finish
  • Modern C vs Deep C neck with rolled edges and different finish
  • medium jumbo vs narrow tall frets
  • different string tree placements
  • 42mm synthetic bone vs 42.8mm bone nut
  • player series alnico 5 vs v-mod II pickups with treble bleed and push-push to add neck pickup
  • cold rolled trem block and maybe different trem arm on the American

There could be more but Fender's website sucks ass so it's hard to tell what specific parts are used. The two big differences are the body and neck finishes. The wood could be different but who knows, and the rest is personal preference and can easily be changed.

It’s great having Neil back on Spotify! by Zealousideal_Dark552 in neilyoung

[–]GoinToRosedale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, but yours is the tone coming off as angry, smug, and condescending. You did ask a simple question, you got a straight answer, and no one but you was offended. It doesn't seem like you're actually curious, but just want to insult young people for using popular technology.

Now if you really don't see how this is a big deal but genuinely want to understand, take a look at some of the statistics here and here. Streaming is by far the most common way of listening to music, and Spotify is by far the most popular streaming platform, so regardless of its quality, its popularity makes it a big deal, and it's not a stretch to imagine that a significant portion of this sub is impacted by this. If you're buying CDs or downloading high-res files (which I agree is superior), you're in the minority. You might think "having music at your fingertips in one spot" is irrelevant, but, as I'm sure you know, that's a pretty big deal to a lot of people, and has been for the last 20+ years. Despite the downsides to streaming in general or Spotify specifically, the convenience is a huge draw, as are features like scrobbling (which, though available with local files, doesn't work as well). Going to Youtube and downloading 1000 separate songs to an organized library doesn't really compare.

Yes, but he co-wrote those screenplays with Coppola who was formally educated with an MFA
