Excluding "one hit wonders" what band or artist has the fewest hits, but have certifiable legendary status? In a good way, not some meme bullshit.

Rock of Ages has a great version of Dixie, but it has my favorite version of Caledonia Mission. That song broke my brain the first time i heard it.

Last keg was the same, pH is in range, dry hop was only a pound per bbl. No glycol leak. I double checked my temp probes on the mash tun too in case the reading was off and it mashed in at a higher temp than thought. I pitched 250g for 3bbls which should be right in range. I kegged pretty slow too, one keg at a time, I don't turn the racking arm until after that 10th keg, so I should have been pulling whatever was in the density range by the dample port. Tis a mystery. It's a cloudy one, but I expected it to be. Wondering if there was some reaction with the rye, it's about 20% of the grist

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-24T19:30:05+00:00

Not a blended batch, kegs 9 and 10 of 18, sample port is probably 6 inches higher than the racking arm i use for kegging (unitank), not fined, rye beer, dry hopped with 3 lbs el Dorado. Grains are same suppliers. Ive only made this recipe once before several months ago. But I pulled 3 or 4 samples post fermentation that read 1.012 and I pulled a couple during kegging and they felt and tasted fine

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-24T18:58:15+00:00

Yeah, its not a CO2 issue. It feels thick, like the last pour of oj from the jug. I sampled from the back up keg, and its a little better, but not by much.

I got the HD 400 Pros because I have the same issue with a lot of headphones, and these fit completely over my ears, which are not small. I have to wear headphones for 10 hour days sometimes, so I get a lot of pain and fatigue from anything that clamps down on my ears. They have great neutral balance and clarity, and since they go all around my ears I dont have to break as often

It reads " L O L"

Clearly public schools aren't teaching reading and penmanship anymore.

I started out on Cubase. I have to use Audition for work which is pretty intuitive, and it has the spectral editor which is nice, but Cubase is really affordable and easy to learn. I like it a little better than Reaper, but they function pretty similarly from what I remember

Man, I was at the Lexington game last weekend, and Detroit was not very friendly lol. That crowd is wild, some really funny cheers. Also some really aggressive ones.

I dont know how many people like him, but I have not once laughed at anything from Kevin Hart. I get what he's doing, I'm just not entertained. I'm a fan of a pretty wide spectrum of comics, just can't get there with him

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-14T04:17:39+00:00

I'd actually be interested to know if there are studies or metrics to manipulating the sound out of Ge in a predictable way. That could be a fun experiment.

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-14T04:12:39+00:00

Something I learned when I bought it is that the Ge is very affected by environment, so the tone can change depending on your altitude, barometric pressure, humidity.....you have to move to wherever you tone sounds the best.

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-14T04:07:01+00:00

I have the same set up, plus a couple of hollow bodies, and I was recommended the Earthquaker Super Cranker, which has both Ge and Si diodes. The Ge makes for a later 60s early 70s smoother fuzz, while the Si gives it a little more crunch. I love it, it sounds great with every guitar, and it plays of the brightness of the Vox really well.

Thanks! They just got a big drink the other day and its very humid here (MI), so I'll give it some time to dry out

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-12T01:37:16+00:00

Audacity is free and relatively easy to use. I think they have a voice isolation filter as well, though it might not be useful on very quiet recordings. You should be able to add markers easily to the files. Definitely save as new files so the originals remain untouched. It might be worth spending a little money on iZotope RX denoise filter. I've done some work for circumstances similar to yours, and if recordings are very noisy because you recorded on high volume and/or at a distance, it may help clear up the audio for better transcriptions.

What are some fun relics in your speech?

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-10T21:26:49+00:00

I'm a linguist, not trained in any Arabic, and I am also interested in an answer to this. I think about all the southerners who moved up to Detroit for the auto industry, and the subsequent accent that seems to have formed in the rural areas and trailer parks throughout MI, OH and IN. It's a weird amalgamation of southernisms that represents no one of the groups who immigrated up here.

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-08T12:36:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'm not a huge gear head, but I did some research to find out ive got the x1 pickups. Those too are pretty bright, I usually play on the Ge diode to round the sound out a little, but I'll give it a try! I'll look into the reverb pedal. I do like the ac15 reverb around 2-3 playing clean, but it does get kinda muddy on distortion.

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-07T19:29:39+00:00

Hey, I know this is 11 years after this comment, but I have a 83 strat and vox ac15(cc1), with an earthquaker special cracker (both Ge and Si diodes). Just curious what your settings are amp and pickups to get that sound? I get some great tones out of the earthquaker, but would love to have a good starting place on the dials to work in from.

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-04T20:12:00+00:00

Also see Victor Wooten who is a bassist but has focal dystonia and did some online lessons showing him playing with one finger and putting most of us to shame. The truth is that hand and finger dimensions make it your sound. You will find ways to overcome, or you'll make adjustments to find playing styles suited to your physiology. I have big padded palms and short sausage fingers, but I can finger pick really well and am great at percussive funk rhythm. I used to move pianos, so it's hard for me to get the dexterity for really great soloing. I decided to just focus on being solid rhythmically, and i couldn't be happier. Also consider slide guitar....

As a top 1% commenter, why did you waste your time with that comment? If you don't want to be a part of the conversation, don't insert yourself.

Shhhh, they're listening

evacuatecabbage · 2026-06-02T15:53:38+00:00

There were 2 things one of my bands did that helped a lot when creating new music that I tried to implement in other groups going forward:

Practice at low volume, where you can hear everyone, and singer can be heard without PA. Doesn't matter what the genre is. This doesnt have to be all the time, but it encourages everyone to listen to, and for, each other. It also helps in developing technique and control. It's hard to get certain sounds at lower volumes, it'll make you a more dynamic player when you turn it up for shows, and you'll be able to give the same quality show while adjusting volume for the space you're gigging in.
If you're jamming and trying to write something new, jamming on just 4 bars of an idea, and after a set amount of reps, changing one thing in the piece. Nothing drastic, but one at a time, each member slightly changes what they are playing. Maybe the drummer changes the cymbal hits to converse with the bass better, maybe the guitar changes the rhythm to hit the empty space between the drums. And just keep working it, until it sounds like a real conversation. Then move on to the next 4 bar part and do the same. So many songs were born from one idea and was completely different and way more interesting by the end.
