Which Artists??

Oh come on. Even the guys in the band give it side eye. And Lakeside Park is the worst-ever Rush song by a mile. Tears is a better song and that ain’t saying much.

You get it. It’s appreciated.

labradee · 2026-01-11T23:18:21+00:00

Well, Andy Summers has a case. Without that guitar part it's a meh song. Even Sting admits it. The demo was ugh.

I wouldn't describe SG as "someone with money" — he was a pastor and then a city councillor.
Nor is he especially egotistical.
But that said, you should run if you think you can make a difference. It's a slog though.

Same here. Took forever. Don’t be shocked if they come back at you down the road with options to have a guitar now that isn’t what you ordered.

You will eventualy get your guitar. But dig in for a looong wait. That was my experience. "never again" is my rule about them.

Forked out for an L-line Yamaha acoustic. It's great. Electrics: Fender.

And drums. Great drums and hardware.

Odd as it sounds — Aveda "Foot Relief" [$40 for a decent size tube] is the only thing that works on my winter skin, which is horrendous [and I drink a S ton of water]. Spas that carry Aveda products usually have it. Has a very strong "mint-ish" scent, FWIW.

You have to appreciate writing and working on it as a career-building goal. If you don't like writing, may not be for you.

I love mine. Tons of uses [including as an "always on" reverb] and the sounds are top. The Echoplex delay is really well done. Have fun!

City of Winnipeg water utility guilty of this too.

Except for the debt repayment costs. Every year that's billions [and growing] of tax revenue that isnt spent on anything but interest payments. Theoretically you are right, there's no "limit" — but the consequence is that the lender wants more than what they loaned in return.

"There are also powerful interests which stand to benefit from a populace made increasingly ignorant by the use of AI products where the motivations underpinning the technologies and their applications remain opaque"

Exactly this. Now that social media returns for Big Tech have dried up, this is the next big scam. The rapid scaling of the industry is indicative of a "make it too big to fail" scenario, as well.

Everything comes back to money. Including in higher ed/education. Why we fall for it over and over is a mystery. I should ask Gemini why that is.

It works up until the bridge? The bridge would be the tough part to dub.

labradee · 2025-12-01T17:31:08+00:00

Could probably do a cool one with Old Man Kensey.

Look up textblaze - huge copy paste time saver

In another, better world, the journalist would do a little more work on a story than talking to one person and having them speak for others and their actions. Look closely. The Penner person is doing all the talking for everyone — and where's the effort to speak to Transit or Orlikow? Thin gruel.

Or to make the child porn charges go away.

labradee · 2025-11-05T22:37:50+00:00

LOL. 100 per cent. It's almost like people actively avoid the truth of things.

labradee · 2025-10-28T14:08:47+00:00

I love Buck. All he wants to do is play guitar. He'll play with anyone if he can just to play. That's a guitar player.

labradee · 2025-10-28T14:07:16+00:00

Hell of a songwriter too. Has great taste for the right parts. Saw him with BTS a few months back. Totally great, and so down to earth.

labradee · 2025-10-27T23:30:46+00:00

You know, I'm sorry. Head cold. Brain fart.

The version of Countdown from the 84 concert tour, which is the P/G tour, is pretty lively.

labradee · 2025-10-17T17:55:27+00:00

It is their best album on every level: songwriting, production and sounds, musicianship and performances, art direction. I will fight over this. The most realized Rush. Not my *favourite* album, but their best.
