Line-up includes Cypress Fucking Hill, Silversun Pickups...and I don't know about the rest, that pretty much sold it for me.

I'm most likely driving up in the morning and looking for a pub to stay at or something overnight. Let me know if you need a lift or whatever.

Neil Young

1. Tonight's the Night
2. Zuma
3. After the Goldrush
4. Everybody Knows This is Nowhere
5. Rust Never Sleeps
6. On the Beach
7. Comes a Time
8. Ragged Glory
9. Harvest
10. Hawks & Doves

The only other albums I own are This Note's For You and Re-ac-tor, which are both not that great...so it's probably not really that accurate a ranking...especially since I don't really like Hawks & Doves and am split for Harvest. Whatever.

Paul Kelly

1. Deeper Water
2. Comedy
3. Post
4. Words and Music
5. Foggy Highway
6. Gossip
7. Ways & Means (for disc one)
8. So Much Water So Close to Home
9. Nothing But a Dream
10. Stolen Apples

Didn't consider Smoke and Professor Ratbaggy.

Sitka is a bit stronger and stiffer than other spruces. Its strength and toughness make it well suited for steel string guitars. "Bearclaw"Spruce is sometimes available on certain models.

Mahogany is softer and lighter than Rosewood. Generally, Mahogany is warmer and has more low end, providing a strong, thumping bass with an emphasis on clear, bright, airy, trebles.
It's also used for bracing, binding, end blocks, heel blocks and necks.

Suggested price：399 U.S. dollars

It's Sonja's band, and they're genuinely really good. Not in a, 'oh my friend's band is really great you should come so there's more than 3 people at the gig' kind of way, but in a 'oooh, cool song' kind of way.

Sonja's awesome, and this is a band with her in it. Excellent.]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:30:09 +1000 http://www.soulshine.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=12131 http://www.soulshine.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=12117

I have to be in Canberra for a conference during the week, but I reckon I'll drive to Meredith from there on the Thursday afternoon, stop over in somewhere shit like Albury, and then hopefully get to the site by Friday noon. And then drive back to Sydney.

Anyone keen to road trip back? Anyone keen to GO?

and it got me thinking. Let's face it, for most of us, our past liaisons are best left.. well, in the past.. but many of us have songs that always bring back that certain time in their lives. So say you were making a 10-12 track album with songs relating to your previous involvements, what would be on it? What songs remind you of the good times (I guess the shitty times too). No need to write details of why or who!

For a whole bunch of reasons (partly ensuring that my husband doesn't get all tetchy at me), I'm abstaining from this for now. Even though I kinda want to make one but maybe it's best not to

A young girl i used to babysit has formed a band and is doing quite well
You might have heard of her on FBI as the unsigned artist of the week about 4-5 months ago.
Her name is Holly Rankin and her band is named 'Desire the Horse'
The name originates from a poem from Leonard Cohen and sums up her music and herself perfectly

‘I followed the course
From chaos to art

Desire the horse
Depression the cart

I sailed like a swan
I sank like a rock

But time is long gone
Past my laughing stock.’


Check her out here

Anyway, based off price and ebay availability, I'm thinking of going with Fender Tex-Mex pickups, and most of the stuff I've read about them on the net has been pretty positive. I've found three decent options on ebay:

1) Brand new ones in the box - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Fender-Tex-Mex-Stra...6#ht_1122wt_911

2) 'Unused' ones removed from a new guitar with wiring, switch and knobs included - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-SET-GEN-FEN-TEX...b4#ht_766wt_911

3) 'Unused' pickup set removed from a new guitar - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-SET-GEN-FEN-TEX...3d#ht_746wt_911


What do you guys (i.e. Richo) reckon about those options? I'm thinking of going for number two even though it's slightly too expensive for what it is only for the fact that I'll have to do less soldering and fucking around when fitting them. I worry about fucking up the others and will probably just take them to a guitar shop which kind of defeats the purpose of having a project.

Do you reckon it's worth getting the new ones out of the box?]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:09:30 +1000 http://www.soulshine.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=12053 http://www.soulshine.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=12050
