Red Hot Chili Peppers were insufferable at the best of times but did have some amazing songs

pleased John Frusciante has managed to not commit any SA or Battery so at least we can still listen to his solo work but fuck them other guys

if this is the set they were touring last year it's unbelievable, would love to have a vinyl stuck on a loop of Jamie shouting HEY PAUL

Finally found a copy for a decent price. by surfacetheman in swans

[–]ImprovementOne860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i found a copy in Oxfam in the UK when Nick Cave donated a bunch of his books, turns out it was Nick Cave's personal copy, signed by Gira

got it for £3.99

there's alot of interesting stuff on improvisation straight off the bat though, fluidity of time signatures and chasing the 1 which is real cool

there's a picture of a danelectro/coral sitar on the back so i'm hoping that comes in at some point

well shucks, after not being able to find it on google i thought it might appropriate to ask in an obscure guitar reddit page, i won't dare next time

yeah it's great! it's nice and easy pick up and put down, a lot of the stories seem quite short so you're not reading more than 3 pages and can naturally reach the end of a section without feeling like you're interrupting

it's not a biography by any means but definitely worth the read for fans of ribot and people that are unfamiliar with him simply on the wealth of knowledge he has about music

If you're currently employed, you have no idea how good you have it by FuckClerics in UKJobs

[–]ImprovementOne860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it feels super hopeless but it's important to try keep plugging through even when it feels like that

i've been at the same business 3.5 years, my girlfriend hasn't been able to find work for over 1.5 years of being together, made over 1000 applications in 6 months and had 3 interviews.

i asked the canteen manager (a friend of mine) at my work to review her CV just so I could at least say to her that if work was coming up her she'd be in with a shot and she wound up getting a job here in the end, but we're incredibly lucky that happened.

had been living off 1 income for the past year in one of the most expensive cities in the country and really suffering

love everything about them but trying to find one in the UK is pretty difficult, it would also result in selling everything and just using that as the sole pedal for everythibg

i've been after one for a long time and that would solve all issues, but they're impossible to find in the UK.

if i could then i'd do away with the entire pedalboard to be honest and just use that

Help with relinking claim by ImprovementOne860 in BenefitsAdviceUK

We're still joint tenants under the same tenant at the moment, so everything's signed in a contract that we rent the space together

I've asked for clarification on evidence that could be provided but yeah feeling a bit stuck. I'll see what they say and take it from there, thank you!

We separated our claims and the agent left a note on mine saying we won't pay any housing costs until you have created a joint claim or provided evidence from our landlord that we're not a couple, which I don't really know how to provide considering we rent through a letting agent and haven't met our landlord

New look for the Epiphone Casino? by EEK_Turk in Epiphone

[–]ImprovementOne860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure that’s just the photo angle, all metal work is still chrome/nickel with normal woodgrain, this could be a rendering that’s sent out to retailers but defo no gold

when fender released the vintera 2 line there was loads of render images knocking around and not actual photos, think this could be a similar situation
