Guitar Rock!
February 9th, 2006
So, yeah, lots of news I’ve read recently. Mostly in the ‘meh’ category. Apple builds giant box right south of central park. That’s like the ideal meh concept. I was thinking today that the only OS worse than OS X is windows, and the only OS worse than windows is Linux (pick a distro), and the only OS worse than Linux is OS X. Ponder that. And the only way other oses can get in on the game is to just squeeze into the escher-ring.
I’ve written nearly 10 songs in the past couple of months. They are all terrible, but fun to play. Luckilly I have access to a recording studio and have been jamming out with some friends who just happen to be highly skilled musicians.
Also… and finally… I ordered this guitar sight unseen and unplayed, uncaressed:
The Eastwood Ichiban
I grew up with my dad telling me about the Fender Esquire and a Gibson L5 he had back in the day… (50s) those guitars are worth more than my college debt on eBay these days… he probably traded them for better playing guitars… 
Anyhoo, I decided to completely buck the trend of Fender and Gibson worship which afflicts so much of the contemporary guitar world and rock out to the first original design from a dude in Canada and his Chinese guitar making cohorts. Mondo capitalizm. This is two posts in a row that mention China in a favorable light. …
With that said, let’s me just get this straight: China release your prisoners of conscience. U.S. you too.
(Edit)
Ok, it was made in Korea. No offense to Chinese luthiers, but Korean guitar manufacturers RULE! This guitar is my new baby. Pix soon.
