    I'm new... Embarrassing... But what cables do I need?

    I clicked on this thread just to see how far into it until someone says "make your own!" as if it were that simple. And then I saw someone suggest 4g cable. Imagine if OP combined both as sage advice? So yeah, the first-timer who apparently is totally unaware of the traits of speaker cable...

    To compress or not to compress

    It was only when I looked at your profile pic and saw there wasn't a Gibson Grabber that I figured out what you meant by that.

    3 hours till I know...

    Yes, that's all too common and, I assume, illegal.

    3 hours till I know...

    I think eBay always worked like that... you only reach your max bid if someone else's bidding pushes you to it... but no matter what, someone (or their software) could still come and snipe you at the last second provided their max bid is greater than all others'. Then again I haven't actually...

    A Craigslist selling adventure, otherwise known as do I owe this guy anything

    I was the buyer in a similar situation: I bought a set of Enduro drum cases that the seller delivered to me at no extra cost in Brooklyn from Long Island. Unfortunately the person who made the post - the seller's girlfriend - didn't give very accurate sizes so they didn't fit my drums at all. I...

    3 hours till I know...

    I remember the good old days (1999/2000) of setting an alarm clock to go to the computer to get that last-second bid in. Now there's a robot to do it for ya. Also, take it easy OP... too much coffee I presume?

    Nice guy but terrible musician vs. D-bag amazing player

    A common thread I see in band crisis stories here is "so and so is such a nice guy but he sucks at keys/drums/guitar"... it's a tough position to be in for sure, but is it worse than an excellent player who's an awful person?

    Goofier than Pay to Play, Pay to back up someone, slight rant

    Let me try to get this straight - A bunch of experienced, adult musicians are paying for the privilege of being the backing band for the keys "guy" who is in fact a pre-pubescent child? What do you hope to gain from this experience other than paying out of pocket to spoil somebody else's kid?

    "Gothic Reggae"

    Nice, respect. Yep, they (and ALL) were the soundtrack to my highschool/college years. Never saw Descendents but saw ALL countless times. Great guys, and incredible musicians...

    "Gothic Reggae"

    I believe it. I only say "for months" because I believe he just moved to NYC in the past year. Thanks, LA!

    "Gothic Reggae"

    So there is this film called The Room that has gained a huge cult following in the past decade - basically a vanity project that was written, directed, and produced by a weirdo who of course also played the lead character. All of these things despite his not having a whit of talent in any of...

    "Gothic Reggae"

    Ding ding ding. This is what made me listen to ALL of the Jackson Fandango stuff. Hint: it's 100x more absurd than the Gothic Reggae, if you can imagine that...
