Good call on the flat turkey . Spatch is the way
Moth Sabbath 3:11:11 PM
Put the turkey in yer backpack and hoofit
Jon Solomon 3:11:25 PM
I once went to WPRB DJ Jen's apartment the day after Thanksgiving and the turkey stock she was making was so intense I had to go outside.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 3:11:32 PM
Oh GO Canada! Cover those BelgianWaffles in Canadian Maple Syrup! Huh? Wait. L0LZ
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 3:12:57 PM
Outside?? Clearly not a chef. Outstanding DJ tho!
Jon Solomon 3:14:02 PM
It was a concentrated turkey smell that completely overpowered me.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:14:25 PM
I can imagine the smell was intense if you've been a vegetarian for so long!
Moth Sabbath 3:14:56 PM
if you fancy a request, Ahab, would love to hear Ice Dragon, Kal-El, or "rumours of war" by HoF
Moth Sabbath 3:15:18 PM
I englishised the "rumor" part
Brian D 3:16:08 PM
We just had chicken dinner for lunch today with my wife's mom. The practice bird (and my preferred bird). My mom's tomorrow for the other kind of bird (everybody's heard...)

Jive Turkey by Ohio Players still echoing in my ears. Way to let that play all the way through btw
Captain Ahab (host) 3:17:37 PM
I think that can be arranged Moth Sabbath
Moth Sabbath 3:17:59 PM
I am eating Jamaican meat patty and watching Revenge of the Ninja on T'giving so I will claim First Prize now 🏆 many thanks
Moth Sabbath 3:20:02 PM
Revenge of the Ninja, in which a MILF whoops a ninja's son and then, basically, casually shows him her bush, it was 1983 and things were f'd up, dont blame the messenger
Moth Sabbath 3:21:02 PM
If we all ate Jamaican food and watched ninja movies on T'giving, America would finally heal

Captain Ahab (host) 3:21:31 PM
lol is indeed the response
Brian D 3:24:55 PM
Sounds knda like Private Lessons with ninjas but not i guess
Moth Sabbath 3:25:11 PM
If I may be an obnox doom music lover, the "necromancer" in stoner rock goes back to Rush's STONEY mid-70s album Caress of Steel, which doesn't get enough love
Jon Solomon 3:25:21 PM
I'd watch a movie called Private Lessons With Ninjas. 100%.

In all seriousness, the 3rd act ninja battle in Revenge of the Ninja atop a building in Salt Lake City (!) is FIRE
Moth Sabbath 3:28:31 PM
Thank you DJ! Dubya prb forevah
Brian D 3:30:14 PM
Guitar Tone wow!
Moth Sabbath 3:30:51 PM
The "tone bone!" as Red Fang once noted 😂
Moth Sabbath 3:31:19 PM
Bass tone too!!
Brian D 3:31:50 PM
DiSNORTion pedal by Pigtronix. I have one!
Moth Sabbath 3:32:29 PM
oh chit Ahab, I felt bad, I bore the bad news to Flex that The Sword no longer cleave
Moth Sabbath 3:32:48 PM
Nice Brian!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:32:52 PM
oh yeah that made me sad
Moth Sabbath 3:33:09 PM
Flex was bummed
Moth Sabbath 3:33:53 PM
but he soldiered on, following the riffs to the smokefilled land
Moth Sabbath 3:34:18 PM
Er, reverse that
Captain Ahab (host) 3:35:15 PM
lol it goes both ways methinks
Moth Sabbath 3:36:45 PM
I saw footage of Pike vs Automation playing and Matt had a Gibson Explorer, was jarring
Brian D 3:37:22 PM
I had a ToneBone pedal too by Radial.
Moth Sabbath 3:37:31 PM
But he was shirtless thus identifiable 😓
Moth Sabbath 3:38:22 PM
Love the pedal shop talk, Brian 👍 I alas only have a fuzz pedal
Brian D 3:39:58 PM
Just got the alert for this Liquefied from Bandcamp
Moth Sabbath 3:40:31 PM
tone!!
Brian D 3:40:37 PM
Liquify that is
Moth Sabbath 3:40:50 PM
that is some deepfried tonage
Moth Sabbath 3:41:14 PM
like how Johnny Cash took his steak, burnt crisp
Moth Sabbath 3:44:04 PM
Brian are you a compression fan?
Brian D 3:45:45 PM
Wow. Gotta get this
Moth Sabbath 3:46:09 PM
Yeah this amazing
Moth Sabbath 3:46:50 PM
I love trick ending songs
Moth Sabbath 3:48:14 PM
My friend's college band had a song with a false ending that got. Us. Every. Time.
Jon Solomon 3:48:35 PM
Wonder how much longer it would have gone on without the fade they put in!
Brian D 3:48:45 PM
I have an Ibanez comp pedal prob from 80s... eBay score. Put it at the front of line. I like comp pedal ya. Not referring to compression in studios, production etc
Captain Ahab (host) 3:49:07 PM
haha yeah i had my right earplug out and was like 'wait has the song ended?? sike'
Moth Sabbath 3:49:28 PM
Gotcha Brian, I concur
Moth Sabbath 3:50:56 PM
Brian, Prong's first album is the most compressed studio recording I've ever heard, but it kinda mostly works
Moth Sabbath 3:52:21 PM
and I love the dry compression on QOTSA'S SftD 🏜️
Brian D 3:53:04 PM
Never bought too many distortion or fuzz pedals but a few... usually the amp itself pie vol distortion is great. And a basic dist pedal for a boost on leads etc. My one band mate bought pedals like candy. Gtr Center must've had a picture of him behind the register "BEWARE OF MANY RETURNS AND EXCHANGES!!"
Moth Sabbath 3:53:29 PM
Pedal junkie
Moth Sabbath 3:54:31 PM
I saw a dope story on youtube of someone stealing Matt Pike's pedal and a fucking POSSE ran the dude down, frontier justice 😂🏜️🤠
Brian D 3:55:40 PM
I'd get to practice at his house and notice the new toy(s) that week and say "Hey when did you get ---" and was immediately cut off by him saying "SHHHHHH.... (whispers and hand gestures about his wife in other room not knowing about said purchases...)"
Moth Sabbath 3:56:11 PM
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Covert pedal-ing
C🦃lin 3:56:45 PM
As a bass player I have only bought distortion or fuzz pedals. I use them actually on synths and drum machines more tho.
Moth Sabbath 3:57:12 PM
Colin NICE!!
Moth Sabbath 3:59:31 PM
I was readin about Al Cisneros running his bass direct into studio soundboard/mixer then EQing it afterward
C🦃lin 3:59:40 PM
this past year I played some shows with a doom/stoner band so I actually used my two pedal board (two different fuzz pedals) on stage. I was definitely the odd man out, all those other bass players had a minimum of 8 pedals on their boards.
Moth Sabbath 4:00:41 PM
Lolololz
Moth Sabbath 4:01:30 PM
There should be a checkpoint like TSA where you have to declare all yer pedals (Mad Max Thunderdome moment when he pulls out 17 hidden weapons)
Moth Sabbath 4:02:16 PM
Lol
Brian D 4:02:24 PM
8PDLNV license plate
Moth Sabbath 4:02:40 PM
"This band has a 2-pedal minimum policy"
Brian D 4:04:32 PM
Ya Spinal Tap exaggerated scene like the wall of amps n cabs in the Majesty of Rock video... have a pedal board that is the entire stage....
Moth Sabbath 4:04:40 PM
Fu Manchu still make all their demos with one mic and a 4-track
Moth Sabbath 4:04:52 PM
Lolz!!
Moth Sabbath 4:06:10 PM
Hocus pocus drive with focus
C🦃lin 4:06:14 PM
When I first started playing with those guys I was only using the built in amp overdrive and one day the Lead singer showed up with a mini pedal board for me. He was struggling with my simplicity i guess.
Moth Sabbath 4:06:35 PM
Haaaa!
Brian D 4:06:40 PM
And it feels so real you can feel the feeling! We're in this together and ever! Darning of socks and scoring of goals (current! )

I just got Vampire's Kiss on dvd from the dollar store-- Cage eats a live cockroach on camera!!
Brian D 4:09:21 PM
Jim Carrey's spoof auto biography book has some great Nic Cage moments. Funny book
Moth Sabbath 4:09:59 PM
Cage spends the entire third act of MANDY with a bloodcovered face and basically mute 😂

Face Off is the worst movie. But also hilarious
Captain Ahab (host) 4:13:21 PM
I know right
Moth Sabbath 4:13:42 PM
love those types of movies @stitchingp
Captain Ahab (host) 4:13:48 PM
I guessed the plot in like the first 20 minutes lol
StitchingPink💖 4:14:04 PM
I actually remember where I was sitting in the theater when I PAID GOOD MONEY to see it. Lol
Captain Ahab (host) 4:14:09 PM
hahahaha
Jon Solomon 4:14:44 PM
I too saw Face/Off in the theater!
C🦃lin 4:14:55 PM
I witnessed the fact that those tiny polts can fly! I saw a fox stalking two adults with polts over the summer and the little ones flew up into low trees while the adults made noise and ran the opposite way.
StitchingPink💖 4:15:01 PM
My brother and I were just talking about it as we saw it together. Good times.
Moth Sabbath 4:15:17 PM
Lolz!!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:15:31 PM
haha Colin! the big birds can fly too actually, they fly up into the trees around sunset
Captain Ahab (host) 4:15:49 PM
but I wouldnt have believed it had I not seen it!
C🦃lin 4:16:38 PM
Yeah, the first time I saw the adults fly it pretty much looked like a big ol trash bag gracefully taking wing into the trees.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:35 PM
That is a perfect description
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:42 PM

StitchingPink💖 4:17:43 PM
Martha’s vineyard has wild turkeys everywhere to control the ticks. The babies are adorable.
Jason DiVirgilio 4:17:50 PM
There were some nasty turkeys patrolling the parking lot when I was working in Monroe, NJ. They would see their reflections in some of the cars and peck at the reflection. Good times.
Moth Sabbath 4:18:17 PM
Haaaaaaaaa Colin
StitchingPink💖 4:18:22 PM
Here in NJ the turkey vultures are terrifying
Moth Sabbath 4:18:36 PM
Lol Rocky Road
Moth Sabbath 4:19:09 PM
The vultures here are actually shy, but you can hear em and smell em
Moth Sabbath 4:19:58 PM
