Back when the KEXP session was first blowing up the line we'd see often was "they're subverting celebrity/influencer culture" and I've never liked this, shifting focus to these characters does not eschew anything, it just gives the masses a new way to engage with the act without seriously engaging with the music

Fender Japan reissued these in 2019 with a bridge pickup and 24" scale length, it's such a shame Fender's more intent on making the electric guitar illegal than doing anything cool

Recently have been mulling over the long defunct Fender Swinger and how that body shape has serious potential in the present day as an ergonomic option for people who primarily play seated

Introduced in 2008 and has remained in production since but god forbid you want a stylish offset Strat that isn't a signature model for the face of Youtube guitar mimery

They at least exercise some restraint for the classical crowd but the catch is that this just looks bad

I held onto them instead of disposing of them like we normally do with old strings because we're fascinated by them, this set in particular was already dead by the time the bass ended up in our hands so I cannot speak to their actual quality

Restrung our Ibanez TMB505 today and I realize we never shared the legend of the Alice strings brand, who have some of the most bizarre branding we've ever seen and the bass's previous owner seemingly had a preference for

Practicing the riff from Houses Movement III: Rust/Rebuild by Eidola, this riff's been a goalpost of ours for a while now so the fact that we can finally kind of play it feels exciting

Earlier this year we were lucky enough to take a guitar lesson from a major influence of ours, and that was a very important moment for us not because of anything we were actually taught, but because it made us realize that the talents of those who we look up to are something we could aspire towards and indeed reach given time, rather than some mystical gift granted to them and not us by powers unknown
