Yeah that’s a tough one. Would require a lot of work to do them manually. On the other hand, it didn’t bother me too much, and after playing about a dozen rounds it only happened twice, so every one in six is just a free win.

I like it! The only thing I would suggest is maybe removing the titles from the album covers. “Bookends” and “Aja” both showed me the title under the very first tile.

Are you talking about putting it in the corner?

The dishwasher can go literally anywhere as long as you run power, a water supply, and a drain hose to it. The closer to the sink, the better, because those lines typically connect under the sink, but so long as it will fit where you’re indicating, I don’t see a problem other than losing that cabinet space.

He probably is, but I don’t know because he’s not in my face about it.

Point that thing at Gene, not Ace.

I see… they were trying to be clever with the title. Lame.

Was that a movie? I’m not familiar with that.

Sly and the Family Stone. There is some REAL drama that happened with that group, and watching Sly fall from an innovative musician who wanted to preach love and acceptance to surrounding himself with gangsters and becoming paranoid, to eventually living in a van as an old man who “used to be somebody” would be heartbreaking if it was done right.

London Calling by The Clash. Every song on it could have been a single.

You should check out old school punk rock in general. The early Ramones albums, the Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Black Flag… these bands didn’t waste time with slow, boring filler songs.

I feel your pain. We sang through a bass amp in my high school punk band until we got a new bass player whose parents bought him a PA. Do you have any rich friends who play?

Do you play an instrument or just sing? If you’re also a guitarist, maybe you have a spare guitar to trade for a PA?

To add to this, if you can afford it, you can get a complete new system on musiciansfriend or sweetwater at a reasonable price. It will be a low-end system but a starter system doesn’t need to be top of the line, and what you can get for a few hundred bucks should be sufficient for band practice and gigs in small venues.

You need a PA system. Check out Craigslist or pawn shops for a cheap one if money is an issue, or start researching a really good one if money is not an issue.

When this happens, I usually take it as an opportunity to start backtracking and finding music from the past I may have missed. There was most likely something twenty years ago that you never heard when you were a kid but that would fit you to a tee today.

This usually has the advantage of opening up more, and more recent doors. You find something old you like, and then you learn that it was written by a guy in this other band you never heard of, and that he’s on this cool label you didn’t know about that has a ton of great artists. Suddenly you’re up to your ears in new music again!
