The Hellfire Blues Club Blog!

singemonkey

So Renesongs, and our drummer, Druggie, were desperate to find a way to make Jack Flash feel useful. Under-performing bass-players are prone to depression and burn-out, you know. ?

So we struck on a plan of he and I writing a regular Hellfire blog to talk about blues, music, recipes for feral peacocks that honk outside your window at 5 o'clock in the morning after too many tequilas, and many other things besides.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the pleasure to unveil:

Wolfman & The Monkey: The Hellfire Blues Club Blog: http://hellfirebluesclub.wordpress.com/

So far you may already learn the titillating, though sinister ideological origins of the club, and learn the true secret of being a great blues guitar player. More to follow as soon as Jack has slept it off (don't you wish they still had those horse troughs to dunk peoples' heads in the next morning?).

I'm sure you could also solve the problem by not feeding them as many tequilas.

Cool blog. Does it have an RSS feed perhaps?

singemonkey

Dude, they're forty times worse if you stop feeding them tequila.

RSS feed. Whuh? Do I look like a nuclear physicist to you ?

New post up. But you don't need to look here, because I'm just about to spam for comments ?

Lemme put it this way, how can I subscribe to the blog so that I'm notified of new entries?

Could you dumb it down a little? ?

I'll get our crack(head) team working on it. Ta for the suggestion.

The blog already has a subscribe function. I've been getting your musings on useful topics like sideburns in my mailbox.

Well there you have it! Roll-up folks. Subscribe! The only thing you have to lose is your sense of right and wrong.

deefstes

Alright, it looks like the only way to subscribe to the blog is by having it send you e-mails for every new post. That's cool but maybe you might want to have your crack(head) team look at the following link:

This is getting out of hand. Deefstes. There is a button on your URL bar that looks like this:

. Click it to get the RSS xml information. You should be able to use whatever comes out of that to subscribe to the RSS feed using your favourite RSS reader. Chrome supports it natively and Firefox does too.

Jeepers, why is it that I can't see that icon? I honestly don't have it anywhere on my page.

Нет - нет кнопки RSS питаются моей адресной строке - Я использую Firefox 5.0.1 ☹
(Nyet - nyet knopki RSS pitayut·sya moyeĭ adresnoĭ stroke - YA ispolʹzuyu Firefox 5.0.1)

ezietsman

My bad. So my home computer which has the newest chromium installed has an RSS subscriber built into it. The vanilla Chrome it seems does not. My plainjane Firefox 3.6.18 has one too. If you cannot see the RSS button, you need to install an RSS reader. Or copy and paste the url into your google reader.

Obviously flawed though because Camino sucks ?

The findings have been treated with scepticism by Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University's Statistical Laboratory: "They've got IE6 users with an IQ of around eighty. That's borderline deficient, marginally able to cope with the adult world.

"I believe these figures are implausibly low - and an insult to IE users."

Prof. Spiegelhalter has clearly never read any youtube comments.

Yeah, I couldn't help but to notice that paradox as well. But I suppose in a way it makes sense, you really need a very high level of intelligence in order to operate Camino. ?

Renesongs

I'm so into IE 5.5 right now. Totally retro. Who needs PNGs anyway? My dirt style starry night background will always be a gif. (Hipster Hitler)

BTW Spiegelhalter means Mirror holder in English

Warren

Haha, nice blog entry. ?

The piece that Ralph plays at the end of Crossroads is called "Eugene's Trick Bag" and I have the GT transcription of it. Very, very tough piece to play properly!

Got the continuation of my rant about seeing the Stones in '95 up. http://hellfirebluesclub.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/stoned-conversations-with-keef-part-ii/

Jack and I are going to be updating this thing regularly. Tips, tricks, updates, and gear talk will be included. Going to be posting a screed against over-powered amps this week. Subscribe! You'll be glad you did.
