That's lovely.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Christ she annoys me - no idea why though ?
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I appreciated that she didn't fucking shout or speak at a million miles an hour the whole time. Didn't love all the playing, but some of it was pretty nice, and I appreciated that it wasn't all teh brootz. Some of her lyrics are maybe a bit overly earnest, but I can live with that kind of sincerity. It's not an exact comparison, but I much prefer this kind of vid to the fucking matey masculine banter of Andertons or whatever.

I quit after she used the term 'absolute treat'. I think the turn off is the 'rather poshness' of it all. Could be wrong. Didn't watch the whole thing. Blurgh

Is it just me or does that guitar actually sound pretty bad? Got that hollowbody woodiness, but without the corresponding warmth.

Probably just the recording.

True. I checked out Mesa Boogie's demo of it, and it sounded pretty good.

If Mary Spender isn't your flavour - Red Fang are rocking double Nik Huber's now:



Normally I'm against bridge humbuckers with neck p90s for aesthetic reasons, but I'd make an exception for the Krautster II

Naturally my opinion is no more valid than yours, but I can report that I've had a couple of good hangs with Mary and I'm of the opinion she's a pretty great human.
