Sounds like I have just stumbled upon a goldmine.
The two albums I've listened to today struck me for their instant accessibility, musicianship, humour - both musical and lyrical - and creative restlessness.
This is how I used to write songs back in the day and I just assumed I was broken. Damn.
I just listened to an album by Frank Zappa and The Mothers.
First time I've ever done so and do you know what? I don't know if I ever want to listen to anything other than Frank Zappa and The Mothers for the rest of time.
Have you ever discovered the perfect band that had been right there, unsuspected, in front of you your entire life?
Wikipedia tells us that in 1948 DeArmond released the Trem-Trol, the first commercially available stand-alone effects unit.
My question is, what is the most recent effect, the newest thing in the world of stomp boxes?
