I wish I had thought of this, but I am now tempted to waste people's time with this. "I'm buying for a friend."
I mean fuck this guy:
Oh. You don't have your friend's info?
Did you really cross out his picture up top but not in any of the subsequent responses??? Lol

Yes. I'm dumb.
I never thought I’d agree with you, chief

I can no longer tell if these are human scammers or bots. I'm trying to sell a car and this is ... something.
Perhaps you’re the bot Arbi. Everyone can benefit from some quiet reflection. Shall we set aside some time this saturday6/27?
G'morn friends and foes!
A lot of you seem to enjoy supporting local and/or independent businesses. Ya'll like music too, right? Today's a good day to be effective in supporting local and/or independent musicians by buying whatever shit they might have on BandCamp.com.
Until midnight tonight (PDT), the Oakland-based online music retailer is forgoing their proceeds so that artists can enjoy 100% of sales revenue. More info here in this video I made, which also doubles as an ad for this local concert series I've been busy with the last few months.
If you wanna check out the show, please RSVP here so you get a little FB reminder as we draw near. If you don't have FB you can still watch by going to to our FB page between 7:45pm and 10:30pm (again, PDT) tonight. It'll also be streamed on LocalMusicChannel.com and apparently YouTube by those same folks. Lots of original music tonight, plus some covers of songs by the Winehouse, DMB, Elliot Smith, Beatles, Damien Rice, Pearl Jam, the Stones, and Radiohead, Song Preservation Society, and Rx Bandits (I know, right?).
But Concord Couch Concerts aside, you really should, ask your music friends (or find out) if they have any shit on BandCamp.com, and then buy the shit out of that shit.
Alright, later!

Hey guys and gals! I hope everyone is safe and sound during these unique times. Nope, not on the Pro Pickleball Circuit (not yet)....instead, became a daddy to our precious daughter, Holly. I celebrated with a Ruby Grapefruit White Claw...I hope this doesn't get me banned on here.

My home office has felt smaller and smaller every day of the pandemic, so I finally decided to downsize my gear.
I sold my Ampeg bass combo amp. It's a model loved by stoner rock/metal players for its tone. When I helped the buyer load it into his van, a wave of stale weed smell came rolling out.
It's nice to know the amp is going to the right home.

You work in a music studio? I'm confused as how this is related to work. Possibly would have bought myself for full disclosure.

I work in tech.
Remember that I'm in CA. My home office is also my den and my jam studio. It's about 100 sq ft, which is huge for the Bay Area, but not practical to have my actual work stuff as well as my recreational bass equipment.
It was a BA115v1 if you're curious about the model. I kept an Orange Crush 25W for practice.
Yeah I'm just drunk and put too much emphasis on the home office preface. I have also needed to buy a new amp for a decade or 2. Happy Halloween homie!
From now on you will only hear the Bee Gees whenever that song gets played. The arrangement, the harmonies, the whole thing is classic Gibb Brothers.
While we’re on the subject I was in an Enterprise in Miami a few years ago. Got talking to the guy behind the desk and ended up telling me the place used to the Bee Gees’ recording studio. This was written on a wall in the broom closet.
I recommend the recent HBO documentary on The Bee Gees - that studio is featured quite a bit!
still alive. drinking white claw and stella.....will be able to afford Gourd once my Mattingly Rookie Card skyrockets in price. I miss you all.
There needs to be a ska cover of Tonight, tonight. Originally occurred in a dream but honestly think it would work well.
