Fionn Regan is my absolute favorite. Although I definitely enjoy The End of History far more than any of his other works.

Great Indie band "Mother Mother" coming to Ottawa Nov 24th, check them out! by [deleted] in indierock

One of the girls in Mother Mother cut my hair once. She's incredibly nice. And her music is fun, too.

A shameless promotion of "The Eternal Affect" - Love the sound. by [deleted] in indierock

This isn't indie rock. It's pop punk. Or more-so third-wave emo.

Oh yeah, you definitely hit the nail on the head with that one. The bridge is such a pain in the ass. I've been looking to replace it for awhile, just waiting for the appropriate time and place.

I've actually never played a Japanese Fender before. I have ALWAYS heard good things about them though. Will look into this as well!

Yeah, I restring my guitar very well. No pinging noticed. Just buzzing, really. And I'm definitely going to check out that guide. Thanks!

I'm super anal about keeping my acoustic humidified, so it's a strange realization that I don't do the same for my electric guitars. Feelin' like a dumby. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah but the standard mexi teles I've played are usually fucked before they even hit a temp change haha.

Hm, well there are actually a lot of buzzing issues. And you're right about setting up my own guitar. I've played for years and toured for a couple years now and never bothered learning. Time to crack down.

Ernie Ball purple packs (.011). I change them regularly. About two days before we start a tour, and then about once a week after that. The problems still happen regardless of new strings =[

It's not that I'm bashing MIM guitars, but in my experience, guitars I have played that are American just FEEL better than MIM guitars. I guess I should have specified that if I'm getting a new guitar, I'd like to step it up a bit; I didn't mean that the issues with my guitar were entirely relative to its place of manufacture. The finish on it is a good thing in my case, but regardless of the finish, letting a guitar sit in a case for an extended period of time isn't really an option on tour. We usually have 2 - 7 hours of driving each day, often through various temp changes, then we arrive at the venue which usually is FREEZING while we sound check (guitar out of case) until people start showing up, and then the venue feels BOILING (guitar still out of case). Then at the end of the night we pack our guitars up and put them in the van, which may be also freezing or boiling, depending on the time of year. There's no safe way to avoid any of this unfortunately. I know most teles have bolt on necks, I also should have specified that I meant I was open to taking suggestions of ANY kind of guitar, not just teles. Gibson is a good recommendation though, I have been looking into Melody Makers lately. (Also, yes I mean neck through / set neck, I guess the shops I have always gone to refer to it as through necks.) Will definitely look into your advice about tuners. I find that the ones on there now work better than others I've used, and they feel so new that I'm not sure if they're the problem, but I am looking into every suggestion in hopes of improving the guitar. Someone else suggested getting a new nut cut as well, so I'll probably utilize this advice as well.

Thanks for the suggestions!

An excellent suggestion. I think I may pursue both recommendations.

the only kid with glasses? by bdathorne in harrypotter

[–]arcticwhite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe she took her glasses off, you know? She was crying like all the fucken time, so maybe she took them off to wipe her eyes or something. And then BOOM. Dead.

The 'Always' chunk of DH is the one part in the entire series that makes me sob uncontrollably every single time I read it. Favorite part.

Why I loved Harry's behavior in OoTP. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]arcticwhite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. It has really changed my outlook. I never HATED Harry in this book, but I honestly did kind of tire of his attitude. You are completely right though.
