I've liked playing bass also as long as I've played guitar, and almost as long as I've played drums. I actually think I might have a little more fun on bass than on guitar (though it depends on the band situation) but for some reason I seem to always end up on guitar. And yeah, while bass...

I find it kind of rough as well. I’m not much of a morning person by nature, but I’ve forced myself to become more so. Generally during the week I’ll get up around 6:30, which means after the change it’s actually 5:30. Still not really feeling used to it…

I have the same amp! Honestly, I don't love how it sounds... but it's not bad at all, certainly, and considering the very reasonable price and ridiculously light weight, I think they'e a winner. I'd really like to try the 2x10 version also.

Not-taking-internet-lists-too-seriously aside, general anti-pick-for-playing-bass attitudes kind of irk me. There is absolutely stuff that sounds better played with fingers, as well as stuff that can go either way, but there is also stuff that flat-out (pun intended) just sounds better with a...

I’ve never used Garageband for the Mac, but I have an older version on my first-gen iPad and I love it for sketching out rough song ideas. I can figure out basic parts and sounds and mess with different song structures without having to plug in anything more than a pair of headphones. (and not...

I do the lid thing too, except I don't usually add water. (I should try that) It helps to get you a semi-solid yolk without flipping the egg. Also useful for making a egg-in-the-basket when you don't want to flip but don't want a really runny yolk.

Good luck!

Here I am! (now going by BATCAT) Hopefully not too late on this one… You probably don’t want to go buy a whole book, but since the phrase “vegan brunch” came up I have to mention this cookbook that I love...

I don't find all IPAs to be "heavily hopped", though. Dogfish 60 and 90 for instance I find pretty balanced, even kinda sweet. And plenty fall on the "crisp" side more so than on the "bitter" side (Big Swell does this nicely I think...)

Here's my take: if you're new to wide world of beer and experimenting with new stuff, going ""oh, I don't like IPAs", or "I mostly just like porters and stouts", or "Hefeweizens are gross" or whatever is actually denying yourself. I think that if you keep challenging yourself and keep...

I was a little disappointment by their second album, but that said, I saw them touring for both and each show was well worth it. They do not fail to entertain...

Yeah. Walt HAS to have the upper hand, or at least think he does. He has to think that he's seen as the cleverest one in the room. He thinks he's become Gus but he's failed, because Gus almost always chose pragmatism over his own pride.

I just watched Sunday's show. Jesus. How is it possible for something to be so hyped and to garner such high expectations and STILL not disappoint?

I couldn't get into Dexter. Tried a few episodes but it just seemed super super contrived. I mean basically all TV dramas are contrived to a certain degree, but that show just seemed blatantly so. Speaking of shows that lotsa folks love that I don't, I found Weeds to be kinda annoying.
