Not sure… but it seems to be a trend to bury all kind of stuff in tons of epoxy and then shape it into something recognizable 
I was actually fast-forwarding a bit through that video… did someone catch where the pickups are??

Probably won’t work on the Missus. She’s likely seen your… Les Paul a number of times.

Well all right, but if I get caught you told me to do it!

I don’t think the theory is for the Missus, it’s for the mistrusses

How far hit songs have traveled since Marconi started to fiddle around with radio transmission. Great website if someone doesn’t know it.

My favorite game series. The Tiny Tina expansion for BL2 was one of the best moments in gaming history, and this is building on that. Should be amazing.
Not just Babymetal, but the original, old-school Babymetal too 
(I think Gimme Chocolate was their first big hit?)

Yes and no. Doki Doki Morning went viral and Metal Injection had it on its 2011 10 best videos, but that was on the gimmick.
Gimi Choco was their first hit and crossover into the mainstream.
If the game is like the trailer, the whole vibe looks fun. May have to dust off my PS4.

The whole series has a very distinctive vibe and sense of humor. I recommend starting with Borderlands 2, it’s really cheap now for the whole package and all the DLC. The first game is just a little too rough around the edges for people hopping in today, but 2 is a masterpiece. 3 will make a ton more sense and emotional impact if you play 2 first.

I actually played Borderlands (first one). Still love the song from it (Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked).

Yeah, The Heavy do a few of their theme songs. Some cool musical tie-ins in all the games.
BL1 was great, especially the last DLC.

Bl2 and all DLCs and expansions are $18.49. That’s almost a set of strings for Pete’s sake

I had to look up “Americana” and I still don’t understand what it is. Can anybody provide some examples?

As far as Americana music, the Wikipedia page for it gives these examples:
While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band. "Some songs of the 19th century are, for example, “Oh! Susanna”, “John Henry” and “Camptown Races” some 20th Century songs are “Casey Jones” and “You Are My Sunshine”.
It’s music of several genres (roots music) from an idealized time in American history, supposedly. But apparently it also has a more modern meaning:
There’s this explanation, found on the Wayback Machine, and another page which gives this definition:
What is Americana Music?
Americana is contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band.
Examples are given in the latter two links.

In the widest sense it means “all things American”, but usually refers to a certain way of life we typically connect with the US - be that related to food, music, cars, movies, …
At least, that is how I understand it

Americana has another nickname, Dad Rock, which explains it well.
