ASK STEVE SHASTA ANYTHING SERIOUSLY DUDES

It's not so much who wins, it's how you play the game.

teh pr00de:

I have never gone by "the gygax!" before. Nor "gear!" nor "giboyeaux" for that matter.

TR:

Cilantro is food of the gods, manna from heaven! Get with the program!

gygax!

why do you like Japanese things so much?
what size jeans are you?
who would win in a fight: james bond or conan?

-- Special Agent Dale Koopa (dr.carl.saga...), Today 8:29 AM. (orion)

a) I love the Boredoms, Japanese food, and my friends in Japan. Other than a few other things like techgeek/neat videogames it's like maybe 1/10th of the passion you have for something like pot, you know?
b) In shrink to fit jeans I wear size 34x36 which shrink down to about 32x34.
c) Sean Connery as Bond, a predictable choice I know.

n/a:

i don't "hate" you. just a bit of fun, let's be cool.

This is what a noize dude always says!

New question: if nobody hates me, am I doing something wrong?

TL:
I love cilantro and parsley.

DDB is my favorite Shimmy Disc intern.

2. You have much knowledge. Did you find it in the glowing Pulp Fiction suitcase or are you just a superefficient googler?

3. What is ddb's deal? Do I know him? Shit got feisty w me and his boy cutty but now I have no beef w cutty (he has a 'natural stoner' face that's why) but ddb's still fronting like I'm some NKOTB that HIS ass has got enough clout to make go away!

1. When are we finally going to Volton properly?

Volton? Michael Volton?

2. You have much knowledge. Did you find it in the glowing Pulp Fiction suitcase or are you just a superefficient googler?

It's all google.

3. What is ddb's deal? Do I know him? Shit got feisty w me and his boy cutty but now I have no beef w cutty (he has a 'natural stoner' face that's why) but ddb's still fronting like I'm some NKOTB that HIS ass has got enough clout to make go away!

it's like robert duvall and sean penn in colors. cutty wants to run down the hill and fuck some of the heifers whereas ddb prefers to walk down and fuck them all one at a time.

2. I'm talking about baseball!

3. Luda uses the same line on his new one but he says cows instead. What a sexist! I usually take the any friend of gax is auto-rad approach but I don't know why ddb wanna be starting something. I only want to bring love like green-glow Mr. Burns. I'd like to make peace w DDB but only if he treats me like the special little lady I am.

the best is the hello kitty one where she whispers to you to get up, then casually says it to you, then louder, until she's screaming at you "OHAYO!!! OHAYO!!! OHAYO GOZAIMASU!!!!"

a little owl told me other day, "daddy, these are cool pants!"

sorry, didn't have anything to ask at the moment....
m.

did the Hello Kitty store close?

Adam

Yes! Very distinctive sound. Any guesses on the amp? Sounds too bright to me to be a Fender.
-- Tim Ellison (timelliso...), March 19th, 2005 6:26 PM. (Tim Ellison) (admin) (userip)

Tim, have you ever heard that Rapture song on their album I think called "Love is all..."? They do a pretty good job of replicating this tone that you're inquiring about.

See, ddb? Strats are cool.

Like the wind in your hair when the top is down
Like taillights headin' for another town
Fender Stratocaster
Well there's something about that sound

Like gasoline in the sand, Fender Stratocaster
Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand, Fender Fender Fender
Like a Dunkin Donuts in Mattapan, Fender Stratocaster
Like a Thrifty Drugs in Santa An*, Fender Fender Fender

Oh the sound is thin and the sound is cheap
Like a tin can falling on a dead-end street
Fender Stratocaster
Well there's something about that sound

Well how can it sound so tough, Fender Stratocaster
And it's made to be treated rough, Fender Fender Fender
It's got the ancient Egyptian script, Fender Stratocaster
It's got the wang box from the crypt, Fender Fender Fender

Oh you shoulda known it right off the bat
One look and you know it would sound like that
Fender Stratocaster...

[modulate!]

Like gasoline in the sand, Fender Stratocaster
Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand, Fender Fender Fender
Like a Dunkin Donuts in Mattapan, Fender Stratocaster
Like a Thrifty Drugs in Santa An*, Fender Fender Fender

Oh the sound so thin that it's barely there
Like a bitchy girl who just don't care, Fender Stratocaster
Like WooWoo Ginsberg at the jukebox joint
You hear the sound and you get the point
Fender Stratocaster
Well there's something about that sound

Oh all right
Oh I said oh my God
One more time
Ohhhh....

[NOTE: Second musical interlude includes a riff from "Let's Go Trippin'," a song by Dick Dale, king of surf guitar, one of the prime movers in using Fender Strats with new Fender amps to get that "wet sound". Also, Mattapan is a Boston-area town, and WooWoo Ginsberg was a Boston-area DJ in the sixties, *Santa An' being short for Santa Ana, the largest city in Orange County, California.]

Hey, do you think it would be sick, brah, if I started playing Strat through a Roland Jazz Chorus or something? Maybe adding some flange or chorus? You can't get the full range of eighties retro sticking to tube amps all the time.

Tim

Steve S.

Hang Loose,
Tony

But one is Nashville now, father of two big kids, posts on the Noize board, great style and a serious role-model. The other one lets me park my vehicle at her home when I go away for a while (which is pretty fucking nice if I don't mind saying so myself!) Kinda kooky, but I think that's why I was in love with her for 3 years until about the turn of the century (the real one, not the Y2K bullshit one), I could be wrong here I can't remember when we broke up specifically for some reason right now.

So.... Both are skilled chefs which you'd probably never gather from initial impressions. They've also both lived in Florida for some time which adds tremendous credibility to both of their were-dolphin status. But both also have secret crushes on J0hn Dwy3r AND Ch@ngoogle M@rsh@ll which I'll never forgive either of them for (although I myself have a thing for Ch@nnykins not that I'd ever admit that to you creeps).

Love,
Steve Shasta

Is this Tony "Barrelsome" Harrison?

Fuck bro, last week: epic session at Todos Santos brah... Triple overhead, I took off on this one peak so late, a complete freefall down the face, I pulled it off and now I'm thinking oh shit this mother's gonna close out on me but I pull this sickly insane bottom turn out of my ass and made it out of that sketchy session and I just massacred that fucker, two hard carves and then a pumping off the top, full-on vintage 1985 Curren stylee.

See for yourself in next month's SURFER.

The name's Steve Shasta dudes.

WHAT I GOT

Steve

Stev

I have had the Steely Dan song Bodhisattva in my head for almost a day, except where they say "Bodhisattva" is replaced with "Oh Steve Shasta." Thought you would like to know.

Bro, Guelph or Ghibelline?

Oh, and Happy Pitchers & Catchers.

Tow-ins, classic or dud?

Love,
