I finally came around to watching Doctor Sleep (2019), the film adaptation of Stephen Kings The Shining-sequel of the same name. Mike Flanagan here provides a film which I like more than Kubrick's version of The Shining. But just like Kubrick this is wildly unfaithful to the novel. And really...

Own a Korean PRS SE Custom 24. Not really a fan. Very thin rounded neck profile without any shoulder on a wider neck... I much prefer thin necks to be more square with a lot of shoulder like a Jackson/Ibanez neck usually is. Big plus for upper fret access though. Widely lauded as great for the...

Sweet & Lynch - "Miracle", second single off their upcoming album Heart & Sacrifice out May 19th. Feels like there's a lot of Lynch in this track. The guitar is unmistakeably George Lynch. Great riffing and fantastic solo! Sounds like an old Dokken-track more than it's a Michael...

Sweet & Lynch - "Miracle", second single off their upcoming album Heart & Sacrifice out May 19th.

Stryper - "Lost" off their 2018 album God Damn Evil.

I kind of disagree... I love the first album, but the second is getting about the same amount of play. "Promised Land", "Make Your Mark", "Unified" and "Better Man" hold their own against everything on the first album, easily. Judging by the single I'm going to love this as well! Are you a fan...

I've got the (now discontinued) Screamer 50 Combo. Great, great amp. More aimed for the "classic rock" crowd than the usual offering from ENGL. Built like a tank. I think it makes sense to look at ENGL if you want the best (over)built, sturdy, dependable rock machines out there. Never tried the...

Sweet & Lynch - "You'll Never Be Alone" off the upcoming album Heart & Sacrifice out May 19th through Frontiers. Their third album, from about the only supergroup I know to actually put out worthwile records.

Nice setup @Saapanael ! Yes. This is what to do. Especially with older style distortion pedals, and then I'm talking about Boss DS-1, MXR Distortion+, RAT etc. I do this for my setup into a clean amp with the two former pedals. Modern pedals with enough gain in themselves might not like an...

Read Far from the Light of Heaven (2021) by Tade Thompson. Afterword concludes it probably isn't space opera after all. I disagree, but would like to add it's also a 'whodunnit' murder mystery and adventure tale in space, set on an advanced ship heading for a human colony - and features aliens...

Read The Space Between Worlds (2020) by Micaiah Johnson. There are 380 alternate worlds close enough to "Earth 0" to be traveled to, and our main Cara is dead in all but 8 of them. This means she is in high demand as a traverser, since people can only travel to other worlds in which they are...

Read Behind Her Eyes (2017) by Sarah Pinborough. A supernatural thriller - and I stress, supernatural. I watched the series on Netflix first, and while the story is very well translated between the mediums, I thought it worked better visually than it does here. An exposition-twist where a killer...

Just finished Atomic Anna (2022) by Rachel Barenbaum, my sixth book so far this year. An SF-novel focused on time travel and a plot to prevent the Chernobyl disaster. If you've read 11/22/63 by Stephen King I would say this is a great companion piece to it, no doubt inspired by it. Character...

Watched Terrifier 2 (2022) at the pictures. An old-school, gory slasher. There's lots to like with this genre-study of a film, and it was a fun experience. At 2 hours 18 minutes it's a good deal too long, and the final fight goes on a couple times longer than you would reasonably expect, but I...

Tied between Stockholm and Edinburgh.

Watched Ancient Apocalypse (2022) on Netflix. Pseudo-archaelogist/historian (pseudo-everything really) Graham Hancock goes on a rant towards archeologists and historians and how everyone is wrong and that there was an ancient advanced civilisation which died out at the end of the last ice-age...

No. The Boss CS-3 is awesome. Compression makes everything smoother and less spikey. If you play distorted you get this smoother feel, right? Well with a compressor you can add that to your cleans without the distortion. It's also good on distorted guitar, because you don't need as much...

Late reply, but I would avoid ultimate-guitar.com and Reddit r/guitar and r/guitarpedals if you don't already have your stuff down. Lots of very bad advice and weird bias there.

I love the DS-1. It's still one of the best distortion pedals on the market. Bear with me, I've used it live and been complemented on my tone... Until I told them I was running a DS-1 into a clean channel on the Marshall JCM I borrowed. It cuts like nothing else, and at high volumes that tone is...

Really like them. More the first album than the second because of the production. "These Are the Hands" is my favourite song by them, followed by "Lost Worlds". Great drumming, cool songwriting and a vocalist who's right down to my taste.
