Musical Experiments Update

I removed the cover from the bridge pickup on the Les Paul. The result was a crisper, more defined sound, without going all twangy. I love the tone, very Jimmy Page.

I also 'top-wrapped' the tailpost with a new set of strings, but I'm not sure as sure about that mod. The problem is that while it has no effect on the nut-to-nut scale, there is another 1/2 inch of string tuner to tail stop, which means that I have to push the strings further for the same amount of note bend.

I'm not sure I like this change so much, the feel is better on my right hand, but now my left has to work much harder. Since they are new strings, I'll leave it strung up this way until it's time to replace them.

We're Number One!

President George Bush signed off with a defiant farewell over his refusal to accept global climate change targets at his last G8 summit.

As he prepared to fly out from Japan, he told his fellow leaders: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

Independent

Oh, Bush really put his foot in it this time. I betcha Faux News will be all over this, you know.

ORLY?

RUSUTSU, Japan - World leaders on Tuesday endorsed halving world emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050, edging forward in the battle against global warming but stopping short of tough, nearer-term targets. — Huffington Post

Yeah, right. That's like saying an a decade, I target being 10 years older.

The reason carbon emissions will be down 50% in 42 years is that the world production of fossil fuels will be down 50%.

Podcast - The Seasons Stories 3: Summer - a Ranma 1/2 Audio Fanfiction

This is a Ranma 1/2 audio Fanfiction. No, it's not a new story, it was first published over 10 years ago. Summer is the third in an arc of four stories which have come to be called "The Seasons Stories" in the Ranma 1/2 fanfiction world.

Please consider this a preview — I plan to add background sound effects and do a bit more mastering to clean up the sound - what you're hearing here is the raw recording and overdubs off my MR-8 mkII recorder.

Enjoy, and please let me know if you like what you hear.
