I think he`s looking for more than a music partner

[My name is Mudd]

That's what I think also...he's being obtuse about it.

Hip hop is over 25 years old, hardly fledgling. And at least since "The Chronic" it has been pretty much the dominant musical idiom.
Do you feel me?

I'm starting a very specific-genre band. It involves a lot of screaming and/or showing off and/or the word "core" in the name, so you know I'm a serious musician. INfluences include the Doom-death-doomies, Nat King Cole, and the music from Yo Gabba Gabba. I have lots of experience with music as I just picked up the guitar yesterday. I'm looking for people between the age of 25 and 25.76 years old. NO OLDIES OR YOUG KIDS OUTISD ETHIS REANGE WILL BE CONSIDERED!!

I am in need of a bassist, a drummer, a tambourineist, a flugel horn player, a robot, and a slice of pizza. YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO BEING YOU'RE OWN EQUIPMENT AND IT MUST BE OF PROFESSIONAL QUALITY! ANYONE WHO BRINGS A COMBO AMP OR AN INSTRUMENT THAT COSTS UNDER $600 WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ASKED TO LEAVE, AND I WILL CHARGE YOU MONEY FOR MY TIME!

You must be fully devoted to this band. Even though you don't know me and I don't know you, I will not consider people who are going to half-ass this. You will be expected to give me custody of your children as collateral and proof of your commitment to the band. NO DRAMA OR DRUGS OR EGOS OR PEOPLE BETTER THAN OR WORSE THAN ME!

You will be expected to be under my complete supervision and jurisdiction at all times at a band practice. You must only play what I tell you you can play, exactly when I tell you you can play it or YOUR WASTING MY TIME!

I look forward to reading your 10 page essay, detailing exactly why you deserve to be in my band. NO EGOS OR DRUGS OR CATS OR RAINBOWS OR GOLFERS OR CAB DRIVERS, PLEASE!

Peace

The CL ad is gone, but the videos are still available:

[Marley's Ghost]

^^^ LOL that covers about 95% of the douche ads in CL.

[My name is Mudd]

Three things I got from those vids...

- I never knew Scott Bakula was a bassist...
- ...and has HORRIBLE taste in straps
- However, his sample in the 1st vid was/is one I'd like to have myself, tbh

D-bag in the above videos just recently bought the bass he is playing (in those two videos), in what is quite possibly the two worst bass playing youtube video in planet earth. The guitar in question......$4000 See links below for the original for sale ad, followed by the original sale's ad youtube video demo. You can see the new owner, DoubleOfunk1, chime in with a comment about how he is new owner of the bass. DoubleOfunk1 is the d-bag in the two videos above. How does a guy with absolutely ZERO talent spend $4000 on a bass. Confusing.

I'd say that guy is a TB member. Who else would have headless 6 string fan-fret, Bag End cabs, and a pedal board that looks like that.

That name isn't coming up in a member search here.

Someone who lives with his mom and has no financial responsibilities.

That guy is also famous around here for putting all of his gear up for sale on Craigslist every couple of months.

Not trying to sound too naive here.....but does this guy really live with his mother? From the outward appearance of your comment, it seems like you have personally ran into this guy. His youtube video def seemed kinda bedroomish...or studio apartmentish. The mom thing makes perfect sense.

Tell you what, if I had a 50 something year old sibling still living at home and they came home with a $4000 bass......OH MAN, I don't know what I would do. I can't fathom a response because I would be sooo pissed off. Hey maybe the guy is taking care of his elderly mother or something like that. If so, kudos. Maybe it's one of those weird mamma's boy relationships. Who knows. Either way, 50 something and still living at home is weird. I am sure given his current living situation (and awesome funk bass ability) he HAS to be a chic magnet.

or

B. Have read some of his works, absolutely don't get them, but pick out a couple of bits and pieces that they think sound cool.

Kevin Kline's character in "A Fish Called Wanda" is the perfect personification of this special brand of douche nozzle.

Either this ad is indeed sharp satire, or it is the equivalent of a drunk girl standing on a chair in the middle of the room flashing her cans essentially screaming, "Hey, everybody, look at me!!!"

Agree I studied philosophy and I know Nietzsche fairly well...He is one of my favourites....But I don`t feel like running around quoting him haha
