Alright, If you know me well, you know I've been saving up for a new Bass for quite a while (my 5 string just wasn't doin it for me).
So, after many monthes I had about $350. So I figured it was time to go to Guitar Center. I got there, and at first, I was determined that a rather gorgeous Squire Jazz Bass was going to be mine! But my mom told me that I should play some others.
Soon, I picked up a Fender Squire Jaguar Bass... and the rest was history. I loved the availability of sounds from the Jazz Bass (which by the way, my Bass hero Geddy Lee uses), But I absolutly loved the feel of the neck on the Jaguar. Jazz Basses are famous for there speedy fast necks, but the Jaguar I got is surprisingly faster and smoother. And it was 50 bucks cheaper! So, I got myself a Fender Squire Jaguar AND a gig bag for it! YAY! Love the sound and versatility of the Jazz Bass, but the Jaguar is the one that sealed the deal for me.
Wanna see it? Then click here, you dope!

LSFA Floyd Edition 2
Welcome back humans! Today we are going to talk about my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here. This is the ninth studio album, and came out in September of 1975.
Before I can tell you anything about this album, you'll have to know some backround. Before Pink Floyd had David Gilmour to sing and play guitar, they had a gentleman by the name of Syd Barret. He had all the skills and charisma Pink Floyd needed.... unfortunantly he got addicted to acid and lost all of that. This album is mostly about him (hence the name Wish You Were Here). David Gilmour and Richard Wright say it's there favorite album threy made.
Heres a picture of Syd Barret before and after his big acid addiction.
So let that be a lesson. DRUGS ARE BAD MMKAY? Anyway here's the track list.
Track List
Shine on you Crazy Diamond part 1
Welcome to the Machine
Have a Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Shine on you Crazy Diamond part 2
Here! This is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. There's no instumentals on this album, so I hope you like David Gilmour's voice.

L.S.F.A Floyd Edition
Ahhh Pink Floyd! Nothing in the world sounds like them! They have some of the best albums ever produced, and I am going share my top 4 favorite albums proudced by Pink Floyd with you today! So get ready to experience:
Lord Semaj's Favorite Albums: The Floyd Edition! Today's (and part 1) Album, MEDDLE.
Meddle is Pink Floyd's 6th studio album that came out in 1971. This is Pink Floyd's weirdist album I have ever heard (so far). Because it didn't have any "Hit Singles" It's popularity was very low in the US. Only the hardcore Floyd fans (such as myself) have this album. I have it on CD and on Record! How cool is that?! Anyway, this album has Pink Floyd's longest song ever on this album. It's called "Echoes". Guess how long it is? 10 min? NO! 15 min? No! 20 min? Kinda... To be technical it's 23:29. Thats the longest song I know of. It probally has the best lyrics in a Pink Floyd song too. Another one of my favorites is "One of these days" Its one of the most awesome instumentals I've ever heard! has 2 bass guitars in it, drums, keyboards, and a steel lap guitar. This song has things done with the bass that I didn't even know were possible.
Track List
One Of These Days
A pillow of winds
Fearless
San Tropez
Seamus
Echoes
Here's a link to an aweome song "One of these days"
This song is called "Seamus" It has guitar, harmonica, and a howling dog.... Enjoy
And This is "Echoes" played along to "2001: A Space Odyssey" I DARE YOU TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING!!!!
Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.
