Mike Patton is untouchable when it comes to singing anything, any way.

I used to like Coldplay but kind of grew away from them. Their new album is quite good though.

That's a sexy Telecaster. I only have a shitty Squire Tele, but some day I'd like something similar to that one.

This is actually a great opportunity. I've been meaning to try writing a rap song. I'll be honest, I don't like most rap (most, some is incredible but I'm usually just not in the mood for it) but I have to appreciate how they can spew out such incredible rhymes with ease on pretty much any topic. This is something I'll definitely look into, thanks for the inspiration!

Entry number one, BOOM. This was a pretty quick affair, so I'd appreciate some feedback too if y'all are up to the task. Soft Summer, © Josh Abbott, July 30/08 It's been another hard winter I'm chilled to the bone Times haven't been easy Nothing's set in stone And I'm out in the blizzard I'm out on my own The only comfort I have Is knowing I'm coming home To a soft, soft summer With my baby beside me and my arms around her A soft, soft summer It's what gets me through These times without you The spring's not the same Without you around While flowers are blooming I fall to the ground And the songs that I'm singin' Ring out loud and true Cause the songs that I'm singin' Are all about you You're my soft, soft summer With my baby beside me and my arms around her A soft, soft summer It's what gets me through These times without you And sooner or later the snow, it will melt The birds will be singing and the sun will be felt The heavens will open up gracefully And we'll be together, my baby and me In a soft, soft summer With my baby beside me and my arms around her A soft, soft summer It's what gets me through These times without you

It looks super cool. You could make some great zone-out hypnotizing music using only that guitar. I could play that for hours and not get bored, just drowning in the sustain.
