Rofflelectic 9:59:06 PM
@C Monsta, Turning into or tuning up to? :)
C Monsta 10:02:56 PM
we must do everything in our power to keep guitar players tuned up. for the cost of a cookie....... mmmm cookies...
David Shortell 10:04:26 PM
I'm tuning in now as I commence my journey home and I see the Velvet Underground on this playlist. I just saw Von Mons close their set in Belmar with a rendition of "Waiting for the Man". Two nights ago in New Brunswick, I saw all the members of The Ergs, Hunchback and Rubber Molding end the night with a 12 minute medley of "What Goes On" and "Sweet Jane".
Commie Francis (1) (host) 10:04:33 PM

Rofflelectic 10:05:05 PM

C Monsta 10:15:00 PM

David Shortell 10:25:48 PM
