So now you're in a band that adds to the stuff you write?

And what are your major influences, you think?

Also, did you like 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later?

Haha. Not really.

I've never performed. Unless you count campfires and other occasions of the like.

What kind of music do you write? Rock?

Wow, the first time? Despite all the hype/awards it attracted? Why did you hold out? And what did you think?

Yeah, 19.

I found the scene: YouTube - 23/26 Bob Dylan - No Direction Home
Fast forward to 8:10, the line is right there. I think it's Allan Ginsberg laughing so hard with everything Dylan says.

There's a song of mine in which I change effects when I'm at the chorus (or verse again), but I don't usually change effects during either. When trying out a new riff or something, I like replacing distortion or overdrive with something like chorus (with maybe a little bit of overdrive). The result is often not that bad.

I might check out some Boss multi pedals, but they don't sound cheap. And knowing that Boss isn't the cheapest brand out there, I don't think it's something I might consider buying now.

Do you write your own stuff?
And do you perform regularly?

What pedals do you have/use for what songs?

Also, I browsed through all the scenes in Don't Look Back AND No Direction Home, but I couldn't find the scene where Dylan answers the question 'Are you a poet?' with 'I'm more of a sing and dance man', with Allan Ginsberg laughing out loud.

I remember I saw a film that ended with the "Judas"-performance of Like a Rolling Stone and a white text on a black background saying "After the motorcycle accident, Dylan would not perform for ... years."

Maybe the scene I'm looking for was in that one. Do you know what film/documentary that is?

I'm going to assume that it's not the first time you've seen them. I remember the first time I saw them. I fell asleep in every one of them, in the cinema, because we always seemed to go at a really absurd hour for an 11, 12 and 13 year old.

Rivendell was the closest set to where I live.

Haha. I've been planning to buy the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe myself since I looked some stuff up like two weeks ago. I'm just looking for a loud amp, but getting a decent powerful tube amp from Fender for that price is hard to resist.

Ramones are classic. There are only three The Smiths songs I play and sing: Bigmouth Strikes Again on my Strat with an acoustic simulator, How Soon Is Now also electric, and There Is a Light on my acoustic guitar. Those songs seem to be perfect for my voice. Almost all Beatles songs are way too high for me.

And Led Zeppelin is way out of my league. I heard Robert Plant plays the Zeppelin songs like two semitones lower now just to be able to still sing em.

Nice. What amp and what music do you play?

And I figured you were quoting Dylan with the sing-and-dance remark?

I'm not a poet. I'm more of a sing and dance man.

I take it you've seen Don't Look Back?

And what guitar do you play? I rock a Strat.

Do you play music?

Oh, and that picture of a guy performing (profile picture): Is that you or someone you know?

Dude, you listen to some tight music.

The Clash, Dylan, and even The Velvet Underground.

I'll have to check out the Mars Volta. Maybe I'll like them too.

What's your favourite Velvet song?

I think it's really great. There's so much subtile humour in it. A lot of typical American stuff too. I think you'll like it. It must be my favourite show ever. Or at least the one I've watched the most. I probably saw the entire thing about 4 times since I discovered it.

Undeclared is great too, but it's not as good as Freaks and Geeks. The setting (a college in the year 2000) is not as intriguing, although the characters are still interesting.

Perhaps you did say sparrow, but i read it as swallow.

The second to last time you posted in PYP you had a girl giving the Suck It DX pose. Glad to see it never died
