Just got it this morning. I have an event tonight after work and may have to wait till tomorrow evening to try it.

I'm about to go on a quest, in my lunch-break, to a secondhand cd store. My mission is to find some awesome fusion albums. High on the list is anything with Scott Henderson, Greg Howe, Allan Holdsworth, and maybe a few others. Wish me luck...

 

[noble savage]

Wished luck! You can find some excellent stuff in second hand music stores!

I just signed up for 'last fm' and according to the total play count of songs - I have played over 8300 songs. I have only had my computer a little over a year..

A few years back I got:

Cacophony- Go Off
Greg Howe- s/t
Michael Lee Firkins- s/t
Vinnie Moore- Time Oddyssey
Tony Macalpine- Maximum Security
Vinnie Moore-Mind's Eye

all used, all in one trip to the store, for a total of about 20-25 bucks. Those (along with a handful of others that I already had) must've all belonged to the same guy who just decided he'd had enough of shred guitar or something...but in the end I won and that's all that matters. I probably get about 75% of my cd's used now...the remaining 25% is almost entirely of new releases. Anyway, my point is I highly reccomend the used route.

hmmm, no luck today... I'll have to try some other stores... Otherwise it'll be abstractlogix for me... If only there were more prog/fusion/shred guys in Adelaide who'd had enough and decided to offload their collections...

Fully glorious! Blacker than night.

I got that pic last night dude. I was at band practice and was immediately jealous because i wanted to crack into mine.

Tonight I will open up mine and check it out.

 

[Burnout]

Unfortunately, no. I need to spend more time in California.

I have four bottles of Stone 12 at home though.

Be sure to check it out if you get the chance. It's one of the best porters I've tried yet.

 

[ABQShredHead]

Try St. Peter's. This stuff rocks! It is made closer to the initial development of porter, which was a mix of the "entire butt" of the brewery, a blend of older and newer ales.

 

[Phanto]

Classic porter. Excellent for half and half.

d00dages, I've only just heard!!! Deschutes Black Butte XX, the 20th anniversary porter! Email from the local beer market:

The much awaited arrival of Deschutes Black Butte XX is finally here. This beer was produced to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Black Butte Porter. XX is an Imperial Porter with a lot more malt and hops along with a wealth of coffee, cocoa nibs and then aged in bourbon oak barrels. Oh yeah! 11% ABV.
Limited availability.

Cool video but a fucking horrible song.

EDIT: at 2:30 the video started sucking as well.

I'll have to look for that. I love Black Butte. Come to think of it though, all I recall seeing from Deschutes around here are Mirror Pond and Inversion. I've only had Black Butte on tap at the Hilton in Tempe. Bugger.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

GET SOME!!!!

I am going to wait until this weekend to crack into this motherfucker. Tonight is a 12 night... can't wait to try this one!
