365 minutes day 177

Guitar take 77. at least. I rode the skateboard drove etc,... but no video of me. Audio yes. I need a stunt double.

That guitar was pure chance, it only gets like that when I forget what I am doing.

the guitar wasn't so pure chance, I bought a digital delay at guitar center, it was a demo and less at a vast discount price. This makes the guitar sound big. Like two or three guitars. Syncopation. It's very much like playing next to a canyon wall.

I love nerves. I remember getting sent to the principals office after the music teacher in gradeschool threw me out of class for being "nervy" I had a lot of nerve and no interest in learning how to sing "the big rock candy mountain." In any case, I have fought against a musical education for over twenty years and I still can't play guitar. I play nerves only. It's good for the smashing guitars bit .

I've laid in some pretty hefty damage to guitars over the years. Accidental?. Now the guitars that one would buy on the cheap are vintage collectables. They cost as much as the guitars that were great did years ago. I read that it became a shtick with THE WHO to smash guitars and drums. When they did it, they raked up about 10,000 pounds in debt, They went on to become synominous with the term Superstars. Nirvana did it, the junkie guitars used to cost about 100 dollars, if that, but now they go into the thousands of dollars because Kurt played one! Same with sonic youth. The worst guitars are sought after for their unplayability and lousy sounds. Even the cheap guitars that are gig worthy, are not worth smashing. Townsend from The Who destroyed millions of dollars worth of guitars by todays standards? In any case, I would not ask you to smash a guitar, unless I felt like you really needed to do it. I am still sick over the mishaps I've had in the past with axes. Cameras etc,... anything smashable can get smashed when you are smashed or just think you are smashing.

I broke a string, I like playing a guitar that I finally paid off last week. The string the guitar came with lasted two months, the replacement lasted two days. I love this axe. A budget 2007 TV Yellow gibson made in usa. Never played an eastern europe guitar. But have a Russian fuzz box!

Most music I like is played by people who never learn how to use instruments properly. I haven't seen first hand DDR guitarz. I've had a Fender, it kept wanting a smashing, so I sold it to pay off a camera. Thought the camera broke, but found out, although it has problems, the film was at the end of the roll disabling the function of the camera. I put a new roll in the camera, and as far as I can tell, it's only issues are focusing and a re-occuring light leak, Nothing major. Nothing a little black tape will not cure for using purposes. The camera it trashed looking, but functions! I didn't trash it, but bought it for the price of what a lens for the same camera sells for used. In any case talk is cheap. My comments wordy, and I've been stranded from the darkroom, scanners for three days and haven't a clue as to when I can post pictures instead of words;-)

Same trouble with writing a book as with music. Very Little music theory leads to noodling on guitars. Little grammer, puntuation and spelling skill leads to endless rambling sentences or sheer editing overkill. But maybe write a book instead of using guitars, less annoying and people do not read so much anymore in books, so it's safe. Photos could be better, I like them with no words, except maybe date and location.

I try not to write,... It's not about being awful or great, I just don't care, and sometimes I can't write at all. It took me 6 years to get through a required english writing course for college. I handed it in a week past deadline my last year. Weirdly, after dropping the class three times, the proffessor said it was the best paper he'd read. There is correspondence streming back some 20 years I need to address,... It's just that sometimes people don't have a sense of humor and take my things too seriously. There was a period of time when talking stopped. In the course of recent events, I may stop talking all together. Better that way. In fact, now I'm interested in espionage with tape recordings etc,... Might make for more interesting videos.

I'm going to start, before the post office goes out of business.

what no email in the uk! that's what I meant. I used to think of that world as fairy tales and majestry, now I just don't care. I don't care if I ever go to Europe. Blah.

they have too many envelopes here too, stuffed with bills and other undesirable things. Much prefer snail mail but haven't issued a letter for years.

Anticipation is driving me mad :-) I appreciate this gesture on your part. Found the Beefheart cd Saturday.

Probably better to send the illegal copy of the cd snail mail. Atechnical Joel doesn't is all thumbs where it comes transfering audios over the web. B sides, the quality might be better with cd as opposed to MP3.
