I am getting into Lady Gaga, but wouldn't consider her a great voice. A great curiosity. Carla Bozulich is awesome. Anyone mention Edith Piaf yet? Marlene Dietrich? Ute Lemper, for that matter? Anyone heard of Canadian singer Oh Susanna? Sort of in the Neko Case area, I think. This video's good...

The lady I credit with getting me into the blues without me even knowing it... long before I heard BB King's version: Of course, there's: Daisy DeBolt of Fraser & DeBolt. Only video of her I've seen: And I love Yoko. Many don't. Who couldn't love this video? And of course many others, many...

Wow, that Adele is great! I just watched it. First time I've heard her. I guess it's maybe worth getting in touch with things after all. I like how he's got the vinyl, too. (I wish I did.) Thanks again, everyone.

I should mention another reason I started thinking about current old-style rock n' roll is because I just discovered Hunx & His Punx. They have that sort of sound, plus their videos are pretty hilarious. I don't know how well-known they are. They should probably be better-known and probably...

Well, yeah, that was my first reaction when I came up with the question... and I think I came up with the question when I was 7. I'd like to say that's the plan, but I think it's a pretty long-term plan at this point. I wasn't really asking why I don't hear anything good on radio because I...

I'm wondering why nobody today (unless there's an underground scene I don't know about) is writing music like the old standards of rock n' roll or early pop or the great country songs of Hank Williams? How come nothing current sounds like Buddy Holly, early Beatles, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow,"...

That was pretty entertaining and disturbing. I think I'll share it on Facebook and spread the joy. The singer really captures Axl's Marc Bolan influence, I think. Is it possible the one thing they did right was getting wasted?

Oh, I meant to say something earlier that I heard somewhere. I think it was the Gibson documentary Wired For Sound and I think it was the guy from Soul Asylum, but I could be wrong. Whoever it was... they said that they always play a new song on solo acoustic and see if it holds up before trying...

As I read your comment, Bob Dylan playing/singing "Blackjack Davy" just started shuffling from my very wide-ranging iPod, as I sit in my office at back of my secondhand shop. I've always had different musical tastes from people I know, especially young people. Personally, I like when something...

Nice to see you here! Just got to know you a bit on YouTube and have visited DolphinStreet.... great site!!! Great demo of this awesome pedal... and the Table Mate.

You're analyzing something that's hard to analyze and even harder to get others to see on the same wavelength. Sort of in the ear of the beholder. I know people (and still feel pretty close to being one myself) who don't know anything about guitar but still enjoy guitar stuff like you're...

Yeah, that gets my vote!

I also get really bored with guitar virtuoso stuff. I'm amazed when I see people like Vai or Satriani but I never really want to listen to them. It's probably over my head. I've always been partial to music where I can keep track of what's going on and where the guitars sound more raw and, I...

Hey, that virtual design site is cool! Sorry about the double post. I couldn't see the first one on the forum and thought I did something wrong posting. Yeah, I'd like the mirror thing for something very specifically glam-rock, but usually no. Just thought it was cool that they'd have something...

GuitarPartsOnline (TNT Guitars) I thought I'd mention this place I recently discovered. Ordered a few parts from them, which came quickly and seem good quality. Their selection and prices are really great. It's called GuitarPartsOnline and here's a link to their HSS pickguards. I should...

I want to try 11's but the supplier I have doesn't offer them in their cheap brand. So 10's. I put 9's on one to counteract a neck that's too thin for me to get a good grip for bending. Seems better now.

Nice wood colour. I like the white pearl idea and I like the pearl look to begin with in whatever colour. Thought I'd mention this place I recently ordered some parts from called GuitarPartsOnline. I found them through their eBay store but ended up ordering directly from their site because I...

I usually have music on in my office all day, which can be heard throughout my secondhand shop. There's a big variety, but mostly nothing people expect to hear in a little village. The only music I overhear in public around here is country or sometimes current pop. I listen to a lot of blues...

Great cheap tool I really love their stringwinder electric screwdriver bit. I do such a better job at string changes with it, right from the first time. It's really worth the $5 or whatever. I actually got it at the same time I finally got my first electric screwdriver... it's like my favourite...

They're good! I'm Canadian, too. I've ordered a couple times from Stewmac and also was very impressed. Their site is great and so is their printed catalogue, which is nice to have around. They send out great articles on guitar repair every week or so when you're on their mailing list. I've...
