I think I have about 40 guitars: LPs, teles, strats, rickys, 6120, 335, PRS, Firebird, Motor Ave, Trussart, Jazzmaster. I everything I want or need. I find myself swapping out guitars with a good friend. I currently have his SG & goldtop LP classic. He has my PRS McCarty. I have tons of pedals...
They're not just a band. They represent something much larger than themselves. They're cultural ambassadors for Southern California and our deeply embedded Mexican culture. It's who we are. Tacos and lowriders are just as important as the sun and sand. If your grew up here, it's in your blood...
That song, for me, is pure Terry Anderson. IMHO he's a rock n roll Flannery O'Connor. He writes great little southern gothic rock songs. I'm a huge fan of TA & The Yayhoos.
Matt Pond PA's Several Arrows Later.
I love Matt's songwriting. Very underrated album and artist. It speaks to me.
Built To Spill's Keep It Like A Secret.
Discovered it at the beginning of the pandemic. How did I miss this spark of genius the first time around? The lyrics... the guitars...
