Glad to hear that he's joined Ian Stuart in history's trash bin. Sad it wasn't sooner.

A hugely influential band, one of the best to rock Fenders back in the day. Masters of clean tone/twang.



Got this great, surfy Messer Chups cover of "Enjoy the Silence" toward the end of last year which prompted me to dust off some of the Ventures stuff again. It holds up, just as well as ever.

R.I.P.

I love WKRP and Dr. Fever. Rueben and Ed, his film with Crispin Glover, is an unusual watch.

I always do, for the simplest chords. Does that mean I'm a nazi?

No slight intended. I am not what you’d call a “musician” myself.
