They lived on my roof for months after that so I doubt they got poisoned.

They might be nice ... and racist as shit/ scary. But it would be interesting and terribly frightening. Don't want to mention the group because of google but it's been involved in some sketchy type shit. I mean i guess i can pussy out and try and do a phone or email interview but it wouldn't be the same. Advice ? I think i'm going to set up a new email / don't really want to use my cell phone to contact them but don't see a way around it as throw away prepays don't exist here.


Virgin Mobile. more expensive than a prepay, but you could set it up and then abandon it. or Skype. or you could just interview some lame anarchist dude in a bandana from down the coffeeshop :thumb:

if i was interviewing someone who'd done time for stabbing somebody, i think i'd allow him to expound upon his views at length without challenging him. you can always edit later, bwaa haa haa.

What's the deal with pickguards? I have been wondering about this for years. I don't really get what they're for. I don't think I have ever touched a pickguard with a pick while playing so.... :idk:

you do hit them even if you don't realize it, they are (on some guitars) where everything is mounted, and some guitars just look plain weird without them.

I don't know. I don't see how I could hit it without realizing it. And I hold my pick like this:

So the length of exposed pick is less than the distance from the strings to the pickguard. And I only move my pick maybe a few millimeters past a string when I pick it.

I get the look thing though. Most guitars would probably look weird without it.

Plus, consider that they were an invention from the era of the pickup and bridge cover.
