I stopped shopping at Tower a few years ago simply because I was disgusted with their prices.

I just read an article in the paper last week that Tower is kind of in trouble as their sales are dropping. Could there be a correlation, hmmmm?? >On the other hand, places like Fry's Electronics (in California) have new >releases like Tool for $9.88 and Dave Navarro for >$6.88. I've been into a Fry's like once. 7 years ago. How is their selection? I might have to go in there as there's one right by my work.

I ask this, because I tend to frequent forums.crosswalk.com, have registered at x-files.com and vbpj.com and just now at mikeportnoy.com and I notice that crosswalk's design seems to be better than the others (especially vbpj.com & x-files.com) mikeportnoy.com is good, though :-) btw, this is in no way, shape, or form intended to be a plug for crosswalk, or an attempt to evangelize (it's a christian web site) - I'm just curious about what other people think of the design of various web forums.

Alright, I have two Bela Fleck albums (Ufo Tofu and Flying Hippo), and I really like them a lot. But I have one huge question: what the hell is a synthaxe drumitar? I mean, I can see what it is because there's a picture of Roy with it, but how the hell is it played? Anybody know? Alexis P.S. Victor Wooten is insane....... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 01:52:45 -0400 From: WB Henderson To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: Synthaxe drumitar Message-ID: Alexis wrote: >what the hell is a synthaxe drumitar? I mean, I can see what it is >because there's a >picture of Roy with it, but how the hell is it played? Anybody know? It's a heavily modified MIDI drum-pad. Futureman hits pads on the neck and base part simultaneously (with both hands) to simulate a drumkit. And he does a fairly decent job of it too...though, honestly, I wouldn't mind it if he played a real drumkit... ('Course then they wouldn't be the Flecktones.) Live, he supplements the drumitar with some non-digital percussionery, cymbals and whatnot.

Email and newsgroups are the best forums. Infinitely better than any web forum, in my opinion. We had a discussion about this on the list a couple of months ago, in a thread entitled "Email vs Forums" if you care to look in the archives. -- Graham Borland Picsel Technologies Ltd email_address_removed Glasgow, Scotland ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 12:48:50 +0200 From: "Mats Rydstrom" To: "Ytsejam" Subject: Gibbons Message-ID: <000d01c1092f$f66f80a0$af404bd4@ibm770> Plz tell me exactly why and how Gibbons sucked, I know the man's sometimes a bit out of shape nowadays, but really.... his original solo in La Grange is probably more meaningful than the rest of the notes played that evening.

All Savatage was 9.99 except Poets.... G3 in Houtson Kicked ass. Worth the drive definately. Satch was great. I picked up his 2 cd live thingie. JP was awesome. I didnt care too much for Vai.
