Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Surprised the guys showing up for practice at the new garage spot. Was going to skip it but will be a month till I play again. So double duty east bay trip picked up my heads ready to run and jammed.
Need a combo now. Playing low volume and probably going all headphone soon to kee the attention down in the hood.
 
Just got an email as for the Amazon echo, basically it's a Siri/cortana device for your house. Personally I detest whatever you'd call those. It's basically a voice activated "******" and now it comes in a $200 big box rather than a smart phone.

They always talk about in the future we'd have like digital interface implants. Google glasses being a step in that direction or a circumvention of it that functions vaguely similarly. I can't help but wonder if when that time comes, would school be made redundant? Aside from collegiate research, most knowledge is memory based, so if I had google in my head, everything's largely already there?
 
Were moving toward a fully connected society. This is just one more attempt for media streaming over the interweb. America is leaps and bounds ahead of most countries on service and expectations. Some developing country services are still based on the old telephony billing model. Makes it expensive for full time connectivity as we have it here in the states.

I just had a conversation with one of my old friends that do field work installing services for business. Soon will be the days we don't even setup a office and begin working at home if you don't need to touch gear.
I'm WFH 95% these days. It's a huge savings on fuel cost and time spent on the road. But I'm 1000% reliant on my ISP not to suck.

There will be a day when the expected turnaround time for response is 60 seconds. I'm close to that now but can put some items off for 24hours cause there is still an expectation of personal time and family.
 
Yes he is. I want to like Cathedral so bad and I've tried so many times over the last 20 years - but I just can't get past his vocals. Forest of Equilibrium not included...


Yeah I've tried several times too, even paid to go see em lol, just can't do it.

My vocalist is nowhere near that, I'd like to say lee is tone deaf and has a bad singing voice, my vocalist is the polar opposite
 
Is it just me or who I'm watching on facebook? It seems so many pedal companies are now building delay and reverb offerings. AE, Fuzzrotious and now I see Dr Scientist... Whos next?

Yeah I've noticed that too, my Facebook feed is flooded with reverb posts, which I guess I better than anything else that could be on there, i don't care if your in a new relationship I'm just trying to see some sexy gibson 2015 porn
