Bob on guitar

Editing because some people seem confused 😀 I’m referring to last night’s show in Woodinville, WA. The Boblinks site says in the setlist that he played guitar on several songs.

I read that at the Woodinville show, Bob played guitar on several songs. I hope he keeps this up - I’ve seen him twice, once at Outlaw and recently in Cleveland, but he didn’t play guitar either time. Just curious, for anyone who was there- did he play it seated, facing away from the audience, as he has been doing? I’m guessing yes. (I don’t really care, I’m happy no matter what he does, but I’m always interested in the surprises he springs on us.) Was it an acoustic or electric?

Most "mainstream" album?

Apologies if this is a dumb question. I've listened to Third Reich & Roll, Fingerprince and Commercial Album, having come to them after hearing them described as an influence on several of my favourite bands (Ween, Primus, XTC) and recommended by a friend. The three albums I've heard are great and I know are considered among their best, but they have so many albums and I'm curious to know what you would consider their most mainstream album, for better or worse. Is it Commercial Album (which is my fave so far). Please and thank you.

Looking for Sight For Sore Eyes Vol. 1 Please Help!!!!

This is a unbelievable story but I assure you it is true. I had a copy that a friend of mine picked up for me. He had a house fire my book and some old taxidermy were the only things lost. There is one on eBay for an insane amount. If anybody has an extra copy they would be interested in selling, please let me know. I haven't even been able to flip through it let alone own a copy. Much appreciated!!!

Spotted at the Record store

I always like to see these little extra pieces of information affixed to records.

And now it makes me want to hear C**arpenters songs à la Zappa or vice versa!

Gingerbread Man CD-ROM

I wanted to try out the expanded (CD-ROM) version of the album, but after trying all the options I had, nothing worked. Has anyone tried to launch it? Or maybe someone knows where to find files and how to run this game or any game on Windows 3.1?

This place was so trippy!

At first, I felt like the game was "cheating" to mess with me, because whenever I tried to backtrack through the same entrance, I’d end up in a totally different place. I still can't tell if that’s an actual feature or if I was just hallucinating.
