Wondering what is the most people have spent on a record? I spend the most of I ever have on one of my white whales last weeks on Discogs. It was $200.
tickets for Jesus Lizard! wow, I never thought I would see them live (Jan 2025!!!). I know I'm around 20 years too late, but I'm excited that I'll finally see these crazy dudes!
"Paint pictures with sound. Find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down. You'll be able to express any emotion on the guitar." - Les Paul, born this day in 1915
Happy 30th Anniversary to one of my favorite albums of all time, Purple by Stone Temple Pilots. 30 years ago today I was fresh out of high school and just starting my time in Austin attending college. I walked down to Tower Records on the Drag and bought this album on CD. I spent the rest of the day driving around Austin getting to know my new city while listening. Maybe that's why this album still sticks with me.
"When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is." - Prince Rogers Nelson, born this day in 1958.
