Minor here too but still very uncomfortable, did it shake the whole northeast?

That happened to me in college one afternoon. I was sitting in my living room hung over, and I felt the couch shake for a good 30-40 seconds. None of my roommates believed it or felt it, they kept saying that I was imagining things or it was a truck going by or something. Found out the next day that we had a 3.7 earthquake in Worcester. Pretty freaky.

Must have been the whole east coast..because I'm more "central" than northern

but now I'm all flinchy and paranoid that it's gonna happen again!

hope she is OK dude

turns out it was actually closer to Richmond.

She seems to be just fine...I can hear my mom in the background talking to her on the phone.
All they had were short tremors, just like here.

that's good,
man that was strange
Feeling the earth move like that underneath you is probably the worst feeling ever.

[StudioShutIn]

you're tellin' me!

I could'a done without that..but
Atleast there was no damage here and nobody was hurt, so I'll count my blessings.

I was playing these two chords, and I thought it sounded cool until I listened to it and it sounds a lot like the song Friends by Band of Skulls.

Damn you Twilight

I swear to god every time I come up with a little riff that I think sounds cool...
...I'll play it one more time and it's like three changed notes away from something either incredibly well-known or incredibly cheesy.

I have this other song I wrote a while ago, and I thought it was gonna make me famous. So I record it, spend all this time on making the recording awesome, then I send it to my friend so he can give me feedback. We go on facebook chat and he starts playing it and he's like "way to go tom petty" and I don't listen to Tom Petty, so I'm like is that a compliment? Its the exact chords and rhythm of last dance with mary jane. Never listened to the song in my life.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

i hate it when that happens. i can't TELL you how many times i've come up with something new and cool only to realize it's an old Humble Pie song, or mid-period Who, or "I'll Be Your Mirror," or Curtis Mayfield with the rhythm different, or some fucking thing. the worst story i've ever heard in that vein was told on himself by a guy i know who described playing a new gospel-esque thing he'd written for one of his bandmates, who managed to keep a straight face as he informed his buddy that he'd just written "Delta Dawn." nowadays i'll often deliberately throw an anomalous or dissonant chord into the middle of something i'm working on--say, a Bbmaj7 or Eb in the key of G major--to fuck things up and keep it from being too like anything familiar. but that's a Brian Wilson/Kevin Shields strategem, too, so...

Some live song came on the radio and the singing especially was pissing me off.
"What is this, fucking acoustic Pearl Jam?"
It was acoustic Pearl Jam.
