Song 320: Festering Gospels & Costume Jewelry

Mark Elliot Cullen — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 06:34:06 +0000

I just got my new telecaster and I’ve been abusing it with my dumb fingers. I especially like the way this verbose idiocy turned out, so I’m going to link it here.

I’ve had enough of you false prophecy- With your festering gospels and costume jewelry- Your incest and your nonchalance- Your commercialized pragmatic finger-pointing Idealism-

A concerned parent says:

“My kids have begged me to get them Guitar Hero and I just couldn’t bare the thought of some of the lyrics they would be embedding into their minds. Guitar Praise has music that they are familiar with and love already, as well as lyrics that they can memorize and think on that are full of truth!”

141 Tiny Terror Combos Stolen

Thieves broke into Orange HQ at Borehamwood on Saturday night (16th August) and stole 141 Tiny Terror combos with a total retail value of £62,000. So far, 121 Tiny Terror combos have been legitimately shipped into the UK and 2 pieces to Hungary, no others have been shipped anywhere in Europe…

I put in a price inquiry on one of these with a great guitar site a few months ago. The original Tiny Terror head has earned some great reviews and from what I’ve heard in youtube videos these combos have a really great sound. I envy the thieves.

Horses & Hey Joe

I think the first part of this tape is Patti Smith’s audition for the Velvet Underground lookalike contest. Also, awesome prop guitar.
