I would suggest choosing the guitar you're most interested in learning to play. Motivation is key.

Somewhere around 1997, I was super stoked to find out that Mojo was set to play my local watering hole, Call the Office, in London, Ontario. I was quick to snap up tickets as I'd been a Mojo fan for a while after having become aware of him from the Dead Milkmen's classic Punk Rock Girl. As it turned out there was little reason to rush to buy tickets as there were maybe 10 of us there

For me, the album with the songs I like the most is Hackney Diamonds BUT the one thing that pulls me in a different direction is only having Charlie on a couple of tracks. I've had no trouble enjoying the tracks on Hackney with Steven on drums, but if I'm only going to be able to listen to this one record for the rest of my life, I might pick Voodoo Lounge only so I can enjoy Charlie o

How I long for the days before dynamic pricing, etc. Here in Halifax, NS we had been pretty much free of Ticketmaster until a recent ownership change of our largest venue and Ticketmaster were brought in and it's been touted that this is to improve the fan experience, etc. etc. All I can see is higher ticket costs due to their fees. The only possible benefit will be if we get acts coming

The only time I've ever tried was when I wanted to go to Buffalo but then there weren't any Lucky Dips because they are considered to be a lottery there (or something like that). Yes.

My clear vinyl sounds amazing. I'm at the point with modern vinyl releases that I would buy anything until I've been able to confirm positive reviews on a pressing on discogs or otherwise. This because I've been so disappointed with quality control, mastering, etc. I made an exception here because..well, it's my favourite band. My copy is great and is especially so compare

I heard my 10 year old son singing Mess it Up under his breath in the car the other day and then tonight, after trick or treating, it happened. "Hey Google, play Mess it Up by The Rolling Stones." A shed a single tear of joy. With that said, I don't know how they market a dance number as a bunch of dudes who are grandpas in the eyes of the young, but it's a song worth

QuoteSpud On budget decks with poorly adjusted auto lift this could be quite a common issue with this album as it's quite long for single LP. As a consequence, the tracks continue closer to the disc centre . Even on decent decks, this can be an issue. Mine was a Denon Dp-1200.

While I do get the comparisons saying this is a Mick solo album, for me personally I don't really care for Mick's solo stuff but I love Hackney Diamonds. To my ears, this album was produced by a guy who is a fan of every era of the Stones career and all (or most) of those influences can be heard throughout Hackney Diamonds. I also get the complaints about the production style and can

I hedged my bets and pre-ordered with both my local indie shop and Amazon Canada because I wanted to make sure I got it on release day. Somewhat oddly (and awesomely) my indie got stock and Amazon has not. The only way it's available on Amazon Canada is though third party sellers. Anywho, I have my copy so I cancelled my order with them.

The idea that you can't speak critically about this band or specifically this album, on a page dedicated to them is ridiculous. On the thread discussing last night's gig someone got called an idiot for being critical of the Angry performance, with that person getting jumped all over for basing their opinion on a 30 second, poor quality YouTube clip.

I tend to avoid buying new vinyl until I've read reviews of the pressing because so much modern vinyl suffers from warping, bad mastering, etc. BUT I will say that I picked up the clear version of HD and it is flat, quite and clear!

I just spoke with someone at one of my local record shops here in Nova Scotia. His quote, "Universal has been having a lot of issues as of late with product." So I'm not entirely hopeful that I'll be picking up a physical release on Friday but I'm also not super interested in my first listen being on Spotify. He's going to update me when they get stock.

I am a huge Rolling Stones fan, a huge baseball fan (Detroit Tigers, specifically) and a devoted vinyl collector.

I enjoyed the interview with Mick on Q (which is a generally solid program, btw). Tom Power is a good interviewer and I feel like with some of his poorer phrasing of questions we were seeing a guy who was both nervous and who was maybe trying to present things in a way that Mick hadn't heard 10,000 times. It may not have always worked perfectly but I commend him for trying. As far as
