After my shots yesterday I went to a music store to get a cheap used guitar stand. I ended up adding a full drum set to my new music room that I'm making.

I don't really know how to play the drums besides a basic rock beat but I'll learn. :haw:

I'm meeting a couple friends in Atlanta in March to see KMFDM. Haven't seen them live since 2003 and after seeing Skinny Puppy's final tour earlier this year I figure I need to see them again sooner than later. You think the bands you like will tour forever until they don't.

That high school basketball team kicking everyone's rear end is big news in Maine today.

After reading more about it, I've tempered my initial opinion. This team (Oceanside High School, based in Rockland Maine) is averaging 96 points a game, which is pretty unprecedented, and their style (which I love) is to full court press the whole game, run a fast offense the whole game, and shoot as many 3's as possible. It works. BUT, in the stuff I read, the coach casually mentioned some individual scoring goals for 3 players, AND, they have had their starters in most games well into the 4th and are still full court pressing with huge leads (like 40 and more points). As in, running up the score to get these 3 guys more points, and maybe set some state records in offense.

That does seem to be crossing a "good sportsmanship" line IMO, given that this is Class B High School basketball, and ultimately all high school sports are primarily about learning and not the actual score. So I guess I agree with the overall sentiment of the Principal's Organization, and also am against how the team (the coach) implemented that request - they stopped trying to score altogether, just passed the ball around like keep away till a turnover or were fouled.

Thank you for reading this Maine news update.

my buddy sent me that a couple weeks ago, setting his Mapex back up after the Christmas tree came down.
I used to be his drum tech/roadie for 7 years and live he played a much smaller Ludwig set that was a real loving workhorse, he's played that Mapex once live and never particularly wants to again lmao. I've played that Mapex a couple times hanging out with him and once all Step Brothers style when I housesat for him, but he's very protective of his wildly expensive personal kit for some reason lol.
his daughter has a smaller Mapex kit, as well
I've heard him play the drums from 2112 straight through on that kit and it's killer, and I don't even really like rush!
