I've heard ass before but not a "bag of ass". I'm assuming a bag of ass sounds pretty amazing since synths are great.

No offense, Il Duce, but you're proving my point.

How's that Flash graphic novel you're reading, by the way?

frenetic as in the style of Geoff Johns

don't bother picking it up if you didn't follow Mark Waid's run on The Flash (Wally West) as it continues from there, with detailed explanations of the Speed Force, and uses more or less the same characters

Honestly, distorted guitar, especially in a garage blues context, literally sounds a ****load more like farts than most synths.

Besides, there's no reason digital music technology should be feared. I mean, we could move back into 1923, and imitate delta-blues like Jack White. But, some of us feel we must move forward with new technology so music can be evolved to new forms.

I cannot believe somebody would have the close mindedness to rip into an entire class of instruments, especially one that could be argued to be the most powerful, and diverse.

I like A Flock of Seagulls. But, as usual, the keyboard player didn't come across as manly. In that band, the drummer (his brother) seemed the toughest. Although, because of stage position, the drummer usually doesn't need to dress as flashy as the others.

If thats the case, the laptop is the most powerful instrument.

The toughest guy in Flock of Seagulls is like being the fastest mermaid. Neither really exist.

They clearly know fashion though. Bet that lead singer wears birkenstocks on the daily.
