Thing is, what would have been proposed for a definition of 'classic rock' on the late 80s/90s leads to it being open-ended. The new bands coming through are very much in the template of early 70s to NWOBHM rock bands from the choice of instruments and arrangements to the t-shirts, denim and leather... But like any broad musical category it's going to have very fuzzy edges, although to join the NWOCR facebook group you have to sign in blood that you won't discuss pre-2010 bands...

I've known people with body dysmorphia and anorexia. I know someone very well with 'chaotic eating' (binge - restrict, rather than classic binge-purge), less destructive but adds to various burdens as well as being a source of anxiety in itself. I think I have a tendency to myself - I can eat enormous quantities of food when I'm unhappy or stressed, but find crash dieting gives me a very comforting feeling of control when the rest of life all seems to be out of control. Although I've not been below the top end of my health BMI range for decades. My obsession is with hitting my ideal weight 13 stone, which is actually a very healthy one for me. The trigger was getting poor cholesterol and BP results so I decided to drop just over 1 1/2 stone and did it in a couple of months, aside from a few short periods I've stayed down at around 13 for nearly four years and I feel much fitter. I used to be naturally very thin ( 6' 2" and 11 stone) until my late 20s despite being a big eater, I feel much happier with another two stone on). It was quite scary when I realised I was cruising aisles in the supermarket looking at things I would love to eat but wasn't going to let myself have... I have no desire to get that thin again, but it is disturbing to have this 'dialogue' with food that can almost become a negotiation, and it is very easy to understand how people can struggle with anorexia, bulimia and even over-eating.

Latest update! The NWOCR has arrived ... and it has TEA TOWELS!!!

I love real Record Vices (pre-Irwin 🙂 ) I have a No. 3 and was delighted to spot a Record No. 1 in Dad's... living room. Hopefully the huge 4" QR vice I used as a teenager is somewhere in Dad's workshop.

I'd make the rebate deeper and face it with solid wood but grain vertical. But I'm a metal basher so don't trust my wood vice advice...

Just an observation, but any bass balanced on a knee (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium. Plus, balancing a bass on your knee is very uncomfortable and not conducive to good playing, consider balancing it on your thigh instead. Note, any bass balanced on a thigh (unless suspended by a strap) is in unstable equilibrium.

It's the British habit to mock such people freely; it's not meant as any disrespect to others.

Early Tudor. It's made out of a door and something's chewed it.

I think the word 'affectation' may be appropriate, without meaning to be rude?

The word you are looking for is 'harps'...

Even Slade were recording slap in 1970, it was old hat by 78.

It's not unusual behaviour for some people- they start a topic with a good idea of how they will respond to some predictable replies.

Here & Now / Gong / Planet Gong Parliament / Funkadelic Hawkwind / Hawklords Black Sabbath (Dio version) / Heaven & Hell

You could add a diode in series with your dropper resistor. I suspect your partial 'cure' is stopping the preamp output dropping rapidly to zero before the power amp has shut down.

This ^^ Unlike most YT bass-cover channels she interprets basslines rather than aping them, so the answer to: Is apparently yes.

Mid 70s 🙂

Hooray for JuliaPlaysGroove - her playing speaks for itself!

I can live with this:

I thought Little Mix were Irish persons of reduced stature...

I shall send you all my sparezzez for your next brirthday 🙂
