"Tumblelog? Are you kidding? You can do so much more with a regular blog. Why would you limit yourself like that?"
Let me put it this way. For my live rig, I've got 7 guitars, 3 amps, 4 speaker cabinets, a Bradshaw switching system, 4 overdrive pedals, 2 rack delays, a compressor, 2 phasers, a chorus/echo, and a tap tremolo.
I also have a 44 year old acoustic guitar.
Sometimes I just want to play my acoustic.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference I'll tumbl for you:
R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
BTW - I don't listen to those tapes anymore. Not because I don't want to, but because I only own one cassette deck and it's a component kind and not hooked up to anything at the moment. Not good for me as I still have a pretty big cassette collection that I refuse to get rid of :)

No it's a '64 Gibson J45 that I bought at a music store in Atlanta a few years back...

I don't think you have enough gear yet. ;) LOL
And sometimes acoustic is very nice indeed.
But what I want to know is whether or not you play those tapes from your truck in 1994.

That's really cool.

Thanks, Robert. I'll put it on my list of things to do!
Posted by:Mark Lee | April 18, 2008 at 07:54 PM
Marko, for those of us who care, would you elaborate on said gear, or let me know where to find the aforementioned elaboration? Gracias!
