listen – mayonaise
listen – risk
ok, so admittedly gracie abrams is not someone i would typically listen to. and to be perfectly fair, UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG. anyhow, what a fucking lovely discovery.
if this was sent to me by a certain someone, i think i could just about die.
i’m not dead
dear blog, i owe you some posts. i’m working on it. i need to finish my munich stuff and then there are a few other things i am working on too. it’s coming.
it’s all in progress, i’m just not feeling the energy. i guess 4 days drinking in prague, 3 days drinking in munich and then getting some kind of cold on the way home will do that.
listen – rubblebucket
it’s amazing how music can affect your mood in both the most somber and also the most elating ways.
i had forgotten about rubblebucket for so, so long but this video popped up on my youtube feed yesterday morning and has been on repeat ever since.
feels good man.
listen – pulling teeth
SG update 5
i’m sorry, i’ve been slacking on the updates… here’s the last week or so of stuff
wipe on poly is weird stuff… but it does work pretty good. i didn’t have too much trouble with it, which is great considering it was the very first time i had ever used this kind of product.
shine is pretty nice actually, without any wet sand or polish. and it self levels too!
black headstock again, i think this is the only way.
pickups installed. p90’s in a humbucker package.
copper tape everywhere, lots of fiddly soldering.
locking tuners once more, this time i went for slightly more expensive amazon specials. turns out, they’re pretty good.
pickguard installed… i went back and for on this too many times. finally decided fuck it and drilled the holes. no going back now!
there she is. setup needed, but gosh is she ever pretty.
listen – hey there delilah
i really wish i could sing.
listen – long time running
does your mother tell you things
long, long when i’m gone?
who you talking to?
is she telling you i’m the one?
it’s a grave mistake
and i’m wide awake
drive in’s rained out
weatherman wet fingers the sky
he pokes it out, he pulls it in
he don’t know why
it’s the same mistake
it’s been a long time running
it’s been a long time coming
it’s well worth the wait
we don’t go anywhere
just on trips
we haven’t seen a thing
we still don’t know where it is
it’s a safe mistake
it’s been a long time running
it’s been a long time coming
well, well, it’s all the same mistake
dead to rights and wide awake
i’ll drop a caribou
i’ll tell on you, i’ll tell on you
tell on you
you’ve got a boatload of nerve
but i would say you’ve been told
you work me against my friends and you’ll get
you’ll get left out in the cold
it’s the same mistake
it’s been a long time running
it’s been a long time coming
it’s been a long, long, long time running
it’s well worth the wait
it’s well worth the wait
it’s well worth the wait
it’s well worth the wait
SG update 4
glue is holding… starting to look like a guitar!
first stain i bought was supposed to be red, but is most certainly was brown. i almost gave in here and just did it brown. but at the last minute i decided that i couldn’t live with myself if i just gave up on this project and made it brown. so i set back out again to a different store to see what i could find.
definitely more red this time around.
oh my…
the picture is not doing it justice. in real life it looks completely stunning. once i do the little touch ups, and then a few coats of poly, this guitar is going to look pretty amazing.
