I love Brill Building pop much more than is seemly for a scary gothtastic postpunk facemelter. I'm going to end up full of metaphorical bullet holes at this rate.

No Let’s Spend or Satisfaction? Garage band staples in my day.
So one of my favs, New Pornographers, did a Brill Bruisers album a few years back. It is wonderful. Too poppy?

Just played my Bicentennial Thunderbird this evening on some Foo Fighters tunes, to make her rock like only a T-Bird can shine!!! I had a Bicentennial before ( sold it approx. 15 years ago, stupid of me !! ) and now having the chance to own one again, I immediately found that pure and distinct Tone of such a rare Bird!!!
Why wait till Monday?
My Stones collection:
as a teen to 20s guy loved the Stones right up to early 70s, then for a few years/albums from Some Girls on...
The Beatles - I liked the “Rock and Roll” Beatles, other stuff not so much. The Stones for the win for me.
But as I’ve got older The Beatles have really got much more to my taste. Love them now. Devour books and doco’s about them.
I 'like' and support anyone's interest in music/artists even if they aren't my 'bag'. Musicians get little enuff encouragement and support as it is and during this non-performing time, may lose some of the venues, therefore support, we've had. That being said, anybody else like P.D.Q. Bach? I'm particularly a fan of his "1712[sic] Overture"and "Concerto for Horn and Hardart". Our concert band was going to do "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion"at our spring concert-since cancelled.
There's also a piece titled "Concerto for Piano Versus Orchestra"
That is one of my all time favorite records. Martin had his Ric nicked and got a beat up bird from Watts to tour with. Pretty much made me a Tbird fan then and there. Turner, Watts and Killer Kane. My Tbird heros.
Any love for The Cruel Sea / Tex Perkins / Beasts of Bourbon ???
Thought about that, but will that deaden the sound?
Oh. Can’t remove them?

VP has the two part bridge. Supertone is a non-starter here.
I used to live for the Guitar Trader fliers to come in the mail. Me and my high school friends would drool over the guitars in there. Always seemed to have some great old Les Pauls and Strats that are far beyond my reach to this day. But back then a vintage guitar was still somewhat reasonable from what I remember.
You are not alone. I traded my ebony 76 Bird for a cherry sunburst Les Paul Standard guitar. it was a good trade, but one I regretted almost immediately. I had to "settle" for my 77 Bird last year. It's the good kind of "settling" in my mind. Here is the best shot I can provide at the moment.
I don't think the Hipshot 3 point will work on the VP.

We're now in day nine of California Lockdown with at least a few more days to go. I think I'll give this a try tomorrow on the Anniversary Bird, should be fun to fumble through by ear...
