Propeller and Bee Thousand wouldn't be the same without it.

A Strat bridge pickup with a little low end tweaking through whatever amp a person plays through will sound close enough to a Tele to be difficult to tell the difference to most ears.

Fighting in hockey is ridiculous manchild bruised-ego tantruming and nothing more.

Bloom County was never once even slightly funny

That's how I felt about Achewood.

That's how I feel about BOTH!

There's maybe like 3-5 good bands on Dischord. The rest of the catalog is a complete throwaway.

I have to disagree.
It's the bridge itself and the string through body that make a Tele what they is.

But I digress. Tip away!

If Trout Mask Replica is a masterpiece, then so is taking lsd and listening to car alarms for an hour

Not a physicist or otologist, so hard to know where to begin.
It doesn't happen in nature? What we hear is binaural. Stereo is a synthesis.

Our ears naturally pick up everything binaurally, combining them in our brains in a way that creates a "spatialized" perception.
A stereo image like you hear in headphones will never happen in a physical space.
Your ears and brain would have to be in two completely isolated spaces to achieve what happens we when hard pan in a pair of cans.

Does that make sense?
I'm surely not the only person that sees it this way.

I stopped giving a shit about superhero movies over a decade ago.

I don't care much for the US version of The Office. I've seen a few episodes with some funny bits, but it's basically a romantic comedy masquerading as a water cooler sitcom. It's like a lame version of Cheers, but instead of laughter people just stare uncomfortably at each other (or the camera). And there's no beer involved.

Agree wholeheartedly except for Jeff Buckley. That boy had a rare gift and was only beginning to develop as an artist when he exited.

Oh and Bill Callahan too but it took me awhile.

Throw in having allergies, a stomach ache, jet let or extreme fatigue, as well as someone you can't avoid yelling at you, and that sounds like my idea of a nightmare.

A non-negligible amount of music actually sounds like this!


But while Beefheart is Not Crap, Trout Mask Replica (probably his most well known album) isn't his best.
