| Paolo Nutini is seriously compared to Jeff? It's ridiculous how many people are compared to him. If anyone these days writes a remotely sensitive song then the inevitable Buckley references are thrown around like turd nuggets at a scat orgy. Nutini espcecially is what I mean by exaggerated singing. That warbling garbage ticks me off so much. It's such a farce. Eddie Vedder basically started the mumble rock voice. He's responsible for the Scott Stapps and Scott Weilands of the world.
I can't figure out who I dislike more; Thom Yorke or Morrissey. They're perfect examples of what is wrong with humanity. Morrissey at least is coherent, though equally, if not more miserable with himself.
Yeah, all the supposed Jeff proteges are these amateur musicians that no one has ever heard of and they'll never make any significant impact. We can probably read about a half a dozen of these cases if we check out Jeff news from the past 24 hours on Google. I don't care for anyone who has been influenced by Jeff, other than guys who were around before him, such as Chris Cornell or Page & Plant, etc. There's not a single artist from the last decade or so that has been inspired by him that I like. Remember, Buckethead is the only current artist I really listen to these days. What a pathetic musical era we live in.
No, the feedback or sound is much quieter and muffled (it sounds normal, but very quiet). But I can hear the distinct tones of each amp model when I switch between them, though very faintly. So the amp is working somewhat, it's just much quieter and won't pick up my guitar. I haven't listened to my amp through my headphones. I actually plugged my guitar into the headphone jack, not my headphones, when I was fiddling around with the stereo sound to see if I could play through that as I was having trouble getting the stereo setup going, initially.
Yeah, that was a nice quote and pretty true for someone who is bipolar. Depression is a terrible thing. It is is a chemical imbalance in the brain so there's not much one can really do to overcome it. Medication can work but they all have their side effects. There's no perfect treatment.
You've probably heard their famous hit, 'New Orleans is Sinking.' The Tragically Hip are a great band. Lots of good tunes. The video definitely has a Fargo vibe to it. North Dakota is actually further north than Southern Ontario (where Toronto and my cottage is). We're actually at about the same latitude as south to mid Oregon. Most of the country is much further north than we are. Canada is the most beautiful country in the world. It's phenomenal. We have the Arctic to ourselves, the Rockies out west, the prairies in the middle of the country, four of the five Great Lakes in Ontario, as well as 1/3 of the earth's fresh water is in this province, then we have the rocky landscapes of the east coast which is home to the Trailer Park Boys. We're also the only country to border on three oceans, Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic. In Ontario, by my cottage, and spanning across most of the country we have the oldest rock in the world, known as the Canadian Shield, which consists of plains and walls of granite. Here are some pics from my cottage from a few years ago.
Here's my younger but bigger brother, David, holding up a pike that he caught. We never kill the fish for food, but he ended up catching this fish and released it but as he continued to fish he noticed that the fish was floating on it's back and was dying, so he brought it in for us to eat.
This is Wolf Bay; the deepest spot in the lake and where my brother caught that pike.
The view from our balcony.
And looking back from the end of our dock.
My back covered in burrs, thanks to my brother. These are actually what inspired the invention of velcro.
Daddy long legs hammock
This is an interesting shot. I love the diamond, sequined effect on the water. It looks a firecracker went off.
Love this shot.
This was taken from a tunnel on the golf course that our cottage is surrounded by. Shortly after this pic was taken an anal ranger from the course asked us what we were doing walking on the course. He asked us if we wanted to get hit in the head by a golf ball (this was late in the evening and there wasn't even a single player on the course). Gotta love power trips.
My brother and I take our pedal boat through this canal. Our lake borders on to it. It connect our lake (Lake Peninsula or Pen Lake) with Fairy Lake, Lake Vernon and Mary Lake.
After a hike up one of the several hiking trails, this was our view.
We used to rent one of the cottages at the bottom of the hill.
Billy Corgan obviously put up this sign, threatening us.
Nature sucks.
That song was alright. More appealing than the other ones, in my opinion.
This is one of my favourite songs. I wish I could write a song like this. Stevie Nicks has such a beautiful voice and Lindsay Buckingham is so underrated as a guitarist.
