NY Giants just demonstrated what happens if you try the Brotherly Shove without a QB that can squat 600 lbs. 🤔😁 dB

I’m going to say yes. 😎👍🏻 dB

...and/or learn how/acquire the personnel to do it themselves. dB

I don’t remember anyone getting upset when Brady did it. dB

An interesting perspective. dB

Three Three GForce Oberheim products just went on sale. GForce Oberheim - The Bundle GForce has painstakingly emulated every section of the Oberheim OB-E and Oberheim SEM to ensure sonic authenticity, right down to the analog inaccuracies of the original hardware instruments thus blurring the lines between analog character and digital precision. Every functional addition to these instruments was chosen to compliment the existing feature set and, very specifically, because it enhanced the sonic and musical qualities of the originals. Usually $309, now $209. Available through the MPN Shop. GForce Oberheim OB-E The Oberheim OB-E is GForce's take on the legendary Oberheim® 8-Voice and the first software instrument ever to receive Tom Oberheim’s personal endorsement. More than just an emulation, the OB-E offers a unique musical experience. Sounding HUGE, it takes the iconic Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM®) based 8-Voice (a.k.a the EVS) into new sonic territory via a raft of enhancements and additions. The concept of the 8-Voice is actually very simple; based around a single SEM containing two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical Multi-Mode Filter. In isolation each SEM is monophonic, but in the 8-Voice, because there are eight SEMs triggered by a polyphonic keyboard, you have a superb eight note polyphonic synthesizer. This unique Octaphonic architecture offers fresh and exciting creative possibilities to music producers, composers and sound designers for the first time in the digital realm. Usually $199.99, now $119.99. Available through the MPN Shop. GForce Oberheim SEM When Tom Oberheim created the first Oberheim® Synthesizer Expander Module (model SEM-1) in 1974, he had one goal – to make a synth that sounded great, whilst being extremely simple to use. In the decades since the release of this iconic synth, it’s been used by countless legendary musicians, making the SEM one of the most revered synthesizers of all time. As well as painstakingly recreating the huge, unmistakable sound of the SEM, the GForce Oberheim SEM also recreates the ethos of the original – a simple monophonic synth that allows you to shape incredible sounds in an instant. And with Tom Oberheim’s seal of approval, you can be confident in its authenticity. Add to this more than 400+ categorised patches, and inspiration is just moments away. Usually $59, now $39. Available through the MPN Shop. Sale ends 10/31/23 dB

I had a killer concert weekend. Saw Hiromi with Stanley Clarke on Saturday night (probably the single most masterful performance on an upright bass I’ve ever seen), then Snarky Puppy (with Cory Henry showing up for the encore) on Sunday evening. 😎 Can’t remember the last time I saw so much good music in such a short period of time. 🥰🥳 dB

So much for the whole “Miami or Bust” thing. 🤔😏 dB

Speaking as a contractor, I’m inclined to agree. That status has allowed me to work several gigs at once, which way suits my ADHD tendencies. 🤔😏 dB

I just read a post saying that the Eagles infamous short yardage play deserves a better nickname than tush push, and suggested the Brotherly Shove. The native Philadelphian in me thinks that’s awesome. 😎😁 dB

Strymon has just announced a new UniVibe-type pedal. I'm told the name UltraViolet is a UV reference... Looks and sounds like an excellent addition to their line. 😎 More info here. dB

My buddy in the Netherlands calls it Runhive. 😏 dB

Phenomenal show tonight in Santa Monica. 😍🔥 Mostly his material, but a killer version of No Mystery to close the show. dB

Mesmerizing. The dancers are way cool. What's their story? dB

I have one of those as well. It has a bunch more power than the Iridium - including lots of onboard effects - but the interface is nowhere near as WYSIWYG as the Iridium, which makes the Iridium more desirable for me for live work. I keep my HX Stomp in the studio, where I can configure and tweak it using its computer editor. dB

I have two solutions for that. Bringing a guitar in a gig bag and a small A-frame stand isn’t that much of a problem (for me). Cable, clip-on tuner, picks, extra strings etc live in the gig bag, so no big deal there. I usually bring my Strymon Iridium pedal to handle the amps and cabs. Sounds excellent, ridiculously easy to use, and plugs right into my keyboard mixer. The other solution is that I bring a little Supro 8” Blues king occasionally. Me, too. dB

Excellent idea. dB

I’ve been hearing my whole life that the thinner air at the “Mile High” altitude can be a limiting factor for athletes playing there, less so for the home Denver teams who has the opportunity to get used to it. dB

What he said. Truth be told, I kinda feel like the concept is a bit ghoulish. 😬 dB

So can I, pretty much. I do find that eating heavier meals later in the day can make me a bit uncomfortable. Something like a yummy pastrami reuben sandwich with onion rings after 8PM - probably not the best idea. 🤔🤢 dB

Boy, do I hear that. Besides the age thing I have no gall bladder any more, so this aspect has become a big factor for me. 😬 dB

No porchetta? dB
