The worst part about that is the seller is a well respected repair dude. Well, I guess, WAS a well respected guitar repair dude.

very interesting perspective, thx
does his stuff eventually sell?

not that im aware of, sits for a long time from what ive seen. but who knows.

I wonder if there's any cool jazzy Thai music a la the coolness that is Ethiojazz?

first jazz band that comes to mind here that is active is Scoutland. I played a show with them last year in BKK for a tiny event. They were nice guys, the saxophone player is pretty prolific here. Honestly aren't many people that are actually doing anything pushing the boundaries in jazz here, most play covers or in the style of respected artists from the USA or Europe. A lot of Thai music is grounded on the principle that it is not be changed or altered, and that to do so makes it no longer 'Thai', which is very clear when you look across the music scenes here with how little ther is in the way of honest attempts at genuine innovation sonically. Also certain music is for certain classes, or is rooted in that history or tradition even if people don't want to admit it openly. Its also reflected in the social and political problems plaguing our country for years now... :

Nice - thank you! I will check them out. That is a very interesting point about the cultural under-pinning interacting with the music scene....

Blood_mountain - I guess if it was some kinda Residents thing? It's just so wrong for Gumby to have a neck, let alone one that long

although...I do love me some Pokey bass....

Betty Boop looks quite depressed about being a guitar.

Really interesting posts about Thai music Ibarakishi!

[Jero]

Gumby had fun basslines throughout the show so you know that Pokey bass slays

"YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUCKING T-SHIRT" is a great t-shirt design.

i'm definitely feeling personally attacked here; i have probably like 100 tees, about 70 of which are band shirts.

To be fair fatdog's creations are similar to his personality..

i thought he died?

Yeah, band t-shirts are different. You can always have another band t-shirt.

OK then.
