    What do you like to see in your payed rehearsal rooms?

    Things I've actually forgotten to take to rehearsal and would pay for on the spot - bottled water, coffee(espresso), 5 gum. I always have batteries, but guitarists are always forgetting to have backups.

    Bass magazines - what do you all want to see in them ?

    I only pick up a print mag, for one reason - I'm thinking about buying something. So I like product comparisons. I'll do a lot more research, including coming here and asking questions. But mags get me started on the hunt with a list of brands/models to look at.

    I've discovered that I'm a punk

    I was jazz trained, only to discover that I really like Stoner Metal. The music theory background from jazz (or classical) training is useful whatever you play.

    US court denies parents custody of Hitler and sisters

    Putting children in foster care is one thing. Terminating parental rights is another. If the latter hasn't yet happened, the usual course (at least here in Arizona) is for the court to devise a reconciliation plan, and if the biological parents comply, the children are returned. Point is, even...

    Brett Favre Retires

    You guys getting all worked up about this are getting played. Farve is a diva, but this latest story is 100% media contrived. Farve made no public statement or gave any official notice to the Vikings. Farve didn't make ESPN and NFL Network dump their entire programming for one day over an...

    Church wants to pay band members

    I have way to much gear What should I sell?

    I guess I don't understand what getting Aviom has to do with it. Those rigs are large for stage monitors, unless your are in a megachurch. If that's the case, I recommend actually getting adjusted to the Aviom before dispensing with a floor monitor entirely.

    Why All The Hate for Jay Cutler?

    Whatever his other problems, he can throw the deep ball accurately, which IMO is the minimum requirement for a real NFL QB.

    Thinking of hanging it up.

    I can't say what you should do. But I can say one thing you shouldn't - stop playing for an extended period of time. Keep playing even if only just for your own enjoyment.
