Me and Jager go way back. I haven't invited him over in almost 8yrs. Oddly enough we never got in trouble together. Hmmm....

Good Datassian just had to help out a young lady with some maps that was stunningly beautiful. Like talking to a work of art. Did my best not to talk like Porky Pig. a bu bu ba
Yeah that's one of them, they had 3 RD's one was a natural finish with passive pickups
Jagermeister was just a digestive herbal tonic that old Germans drank after a bellyful of wurst, but he saw a group of college aged guys daring each other to do shots of it and decided to import it and market it to bars. It got terrible reviews, so he hired a bunch of hot women to walk up to men in bars and ask them if they wanted a shot. He got Jagermeister to sponsor cool manly things like race cars to expand their visibility with the crowd he wanted (now it's metal/rock bands). He also invented the Jager cooler that bars would end up buying, because it was disgusting to drink warm and cooling it took the edge off a bit. He's the same guy behind Grey Goose vodka. Which was the idea that vodka is one of the cheapest liquors around and not a top shelf item, but what if they put it in a wine style bottle with a cork in it and just charged way more? People would think it was special and demand it. There's nothing special about the vodka (by his admission), it's pure marketing. He's made most of his money around finding ways to create demand for things that were cheap and no one wanted. The idea that if you make something extra expensive, it imbues it with status as a luxury item and creates a demand.
i think i'm supposed to clap, stomp, and scream to make fake live audience sounds for a soul record today in burbank, right now i'm playing i was a teenage werewolf by the cramps

A drummer in the Silicon Valley area, who moved here from the Netherlands, just emailed me about getting together to jam on some stoner/doom. Just emailed him back, fingers crossed that maybe it might lead to something cool.
So finally up from sleeping after Sleep. You heard lots about already. Dictator stuff, tone boners, riff boners, Yada Yada yada. So here's pictures.
And Sleep in VEGA VISION. Posted a few videos on Facebook too, so you can check that out if you're friends with me or if you like VEGA.

Also hyodrohydra so insanely jealous you got to meet sleep...
You saw the sleep pillow case already, but here's the merch goodies.

If I would have read that you were going I would have hit you up! Not mention the bass exchange is a must see place IMO, nice photos btw!
More like waking up and being like "huh, I don't really remember getting all these scrapes and cuts and bruises on my hand, but I have a pretty good idea of how and when they got there."
Excellent. Also, the pillowcase is such a great merch idea.
He's pretty obsessed with Rickenbackers, lol. Not that I can blame him. I'd own more if I could get more, too.
I think it's kinda cool looking. Wouldn't own a bass that said Texas on it, though, as I'm in no way Texan. It would be weird.
What an adorable pup.
I was about to ask about that tale, and then...
Wow.
That's kinda depressing.
I guess as someone who is trying to make money selling things that I respect the guy's business savvy on some level, but I do find it rather depressing as a human with a brain.
Jager makes me vomit. Every single time. Last time i drank it i was hanging out with my new co-workers for the first time. I politely declined several times, relented and took a drink, threw up into my hoodie half an hour later. Give me beer and bourbon instead and I'll be just fine.
Thanks for the pics MC. Nice to see all cabs Mic'ed. Although I understand and appreciate DI, I use it every rehearsal unless I bring a full rig, there is something about that tone from a speaker on freak out mode.
Only thing better than a pillowcase would be a Sleep onzie PJs. Pot leaf pattern, with the sleep logo on the drop down butt door.
Have I mentioned how much I love Mountain recently? Because I fvcking love Mountain. Felix Pappalardi was a beast, and Corky Laing was burly on those toms and bass drums.
