The main contention is not that a band is necessarily much out of pocket; but that someone is making money ticket sales, bar takings etc.

In the old days of vinyl mastering was a real knack - too much signal getting on the record and it could quite literally throw the needle off!! I think these days mastering refers to the process of getting the volumes and EQs comparable on all the tracks on the CD, but also making sure that it comes through ok on everything from an iplayer to PA speakers? Feel free to correct me if I'm off the mark..

 That's a fair description. A lot of recording software has mastering plugins, which can make it a bit easier. We had problems with bass boom when mastering the Plow CD, but a low pass filter at mastering time sorted it.

Everything you've heard is true ...

I have a Vox Cooltron Vibrovox trem, and it's a bleddy good trem. It also has blue strobing LEDs on it; which make it sound even better.

Bring in September with an old country choon crooned by loons.

Kerblammo! I hope to be there.

Art & commerce can never be equal partners. One side has always to give ground.

Bell-tastic! We went to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago, and I can confirm it wasn't there.

Who's a better guitarist? Plow or the dog?

 Even with no opposable digits, the dog wins every time.

Damn you Merryn. I almost bought a Little House On The Prairie DVD box set the other day. Also saw some adverts for Bonanza DVDs as a weekly collectible thingy ..

There's no rules, apart from the rule 'there's no rules'.

A new PSU for a tower/desktop PC doesn't cost more than £20/30, so can't be much more for a laptop

How did the gig economy survive before booking fees and trransaction fees?? There's some mighty robbing bastards out there!

To play the tunes of REM in the style of Peter Buck. Rickenbacker jangle, a little crunchy fuzz and some acoustic guitar.

Gigs a plenty, well paid. Own PA and rehearsal room (Wigston area). Usually play 2 x 50 minutes sets, About 25 songs in rotation. All the hits & more.

No cock rockers or wannabe guitar hero types please.

Parkin cornered me and I fessed up. She had shot my dog, so I had to even the score.

Also, I read it first as Professor Longhair, Now that I'd pay good money to see. As he's been dead a few years.

Maybe a Professor Griff show , seeing as Ted is down with the PE, could be on the cards. A bit of camp military style dance and anti-semiticism ..
