I LIKE THIS BAND

I haven't seen them play in maybe two years, but I'm in their corner for sure. One time I saw them at the same building I have a studio in. Maybe they practice there too.

CALLING IT

Rookie of the year. It's over.

COPY CATS

I guess it's been going on for years but it just came to my attention that there's a bootleg guitar effects pedal market.

Chinese manufacturers are copying the circuits of popular pedals, rebranding them, and selling them for a fraction the price.

Let's take a look at some examples. The real thing on the left, the Canal Street version on the right.

RECORD REVIEW

Lebron said it all.

FILM REVIEW

'Superstars in Concert' Mostly really cool stuff here. Ike and Tina are probably the best part. There's also some bad stuff, but you can heat up leftovers or check your email during those parts.

It's come out in Japan on laserdisc, bootlegged in Malaysia and used for promotional use, but now it's been uploaded to metacafe with only 3,000 views. VERY RARE. If you got a joint and an hour and a half to spare, you should check it out.
