I don't but I used to work in a screen printing shop. Anything I could help ya with?
Yeah man. There are a few things I'm looking for, but #1 is I want a Donkey Kong tie. I've been looking for one for forever. If I sent you a tie and threw you some cash would you screen print it?
It's super simple. Just the DK like this:

Also an FLCL tie, and a Monkey Island tie.
Oh I thought you were looking for like info on screen printing. I actually don't work at the shop anymore so I couldn't really do that, probably couldn't if I was there either haha. Sorry duder.
That is a sweet ass tie though.

After getting sorta ditched by my date last night, I went to a local rock bar and caught the end of the set for an indie punk singer-songwriterey guitarist and drummer duo.
My opinion on the lead singer/guitarist went from, "hmmm good punky twang in the vocals, hard for a dude to pull of so well" to "hmmmm that might not be a dude at all" to "that IS a girl" to "that's a cute, cool girl" to getting her number and talking about possibly jamming with the band (honestly, their sound was quite lacking in density) and then us getting married and making babbehs together and swaddling them in flannel.
But maybe I get ahead of myself

Playing in a not-dropped-D style tuning after years of doing so is making it unexpectedly challenging to play all the scales I know like the backs of my hands. Who wouldda though?

OK Computer is an exceptional album only because of it's rich layered production. Everything else about it (Lyrics,Songcraft,,Melodies,) is mediocre. Songs like ''Exit Music'' and ''Paranoid Android'' would sound banal and forgettable if they were performed acoustically. Radiohead pretty much just use textural production and pointlessly complex musicianship to try to hide the fact that nobody in the band is a great songwriter or craftsman.

That's a pretty harsh criticism that I don't really agree with, but I really don't like OK Computer either.
(doesn't know where he stands, huddles in the corner trying to unravel triangles)

I just thought it was funny that he was saying the music's bad if you disregard the music.

I completely disagree. what I love about Radiohead is that their songs have a ton of musicality even OUTSIDE the production.

BOOM (I'm actually surprised the vocals seemed even better in this than the studio original)
Saying OK Computer is anything less than one of the greatest albums ever in every way is akin to saying you're absolutely incompetent.
Man, this just reminded me of how much I absolutely idolize Thom Yorke.
