When I was 12 I waited diligently by the tape player listening to the radio waiting for my favourite songs to come on with blank tapes.

My brother burns DVD-Rs of live shows he wants to see.

What do you get when you drop a flat down a well? a flat miner.

What do you get when you drop a flat on an army base? a flat major.

a) is anyone selling any bass gear?

and

b) I know this is a long-debated issue, but who prefers 15" to 10"? I am only buying a half-stack for now anyways, but may buy a head with biamp capabilities just in case I want to add in teh future, but should I buy a 4x10 or a 15? I know the 4x10 moves almost twice as much air, but can't get <80hz out as clearly. the 15" does handle the lower frequencies much better, but i only play a 4 string anyways and >200hz can be an issue there. what do you guys think?

got a celtic band going... http://www.myspace.com/braggarts

we're the house band at the irish club of manitoba on erin...every second saturday starting the 18th of march

wise guys this friday for st. paddy's...calll 296-2213 and ask for Beau if you want tickets (not many left, not just saying that)

and then April 29th at king's head.

that's all for now

so only a couple more days left at tim horton's, then just bluenotes and painting. aside from the couple of cool people that work there, i could not be happier to leave. the epitome of the stupidity of 50% of the staff there was neatly presented to me when i walked into the drive-thru section of the store after a break. i saw one of my supervisors plunging a sink that was clogged. instantly i knew what was taking place. calmly asking her if that was the plunger from the washrooms, she smiled and replied, "yes," as if there were nothing wrong with that.

this person is supposed to be supervising me, but they think it is appropriate to put a plunger which had touched the inside of a toilet bowl (and had made no attempt to clean) smack dab into the most-oft used sink in the store.

wow.

I have decided to go back to it. my skills of a guitarist just pale in comparison.

by the way, f*ck 60 cycle hum. my dad has this sweet active bass, but the pickups are super hot and pick up all the hum in the house. there are sweet spots where it doesn't do it, but yeah, screw 60 cycle hum.

Thanks

it airs thursday if you want to hear it.

After two years with Accepting Silence, I am parting ways with the band.  It had just become blatantly apparent that the four other guys were trying to make a career out of it, and I just didn't have the same aspirations.  I feel bad for leaving, because it will hurt the band in its immediacy, however, once they find a fifth member with the same goals as them, I'm sure it will do nothing but benefit them.

I just have to concentrate on university right now, and the band was taking up too much time and money.  I'm going to miss it and those guys, but I'm sure another project will come up soon enough, one that will perhaps be more focused on having fun around town than touring and labels and all that jazz.

I'd like to thank everyone that supported me and the band over the years, it was a great ride.
