Dammit. If only I were a cute indiepop girl... or a member of the Apples in Stereo... (come on, you know they have one...)

Actually, they don't. Or at least they didn't when I saw them in St. Louis.

I'm sure those guitars are all right, but they're a bit too cutesy for me.

Pshaw! That's nothing compared to BunnyBass!

That BunnyBass is flat out the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Will somebody please tell me what "<3 <3" means, as in mcsweetie's post above? I see them all over the place, though most usually in the AOL member profiles of imbecelic cretins wHo WrItE tHeIr EnTiRe PrOfIlEs LiKe tHiS. I presume it's some sort of proprietary Windows dingbat (in both senses of the word) that no other OS on the planet can recognize. Can someone tell me?

They're hearts, aaron. Watch the angst, or you're gonna blow a valve in yours.

Aaron, dude. It's a "less than" symbol combined with a 3.

Methinks you need a Bunny Bass, or at least a soft, plushy animal to play with. You're too angry for a Friday afternoon!

me <3 aaron.

You guys have obviously never played in a band. That bunny bass is 20 pounds! I'd like to see any of you last a few houes with one of those.

Is it just me, or does Bunny Bass look a helluva lot like Hello Kitty with bunny ears?

Bunny Bass looks like Max. (As in Sam'n'Max.) I wonder where Bunny Bass hides the gun.

That's far more information than I needed going into the weekend, mcsweetie.

I would be hard pressed to light this on fire.

Here's some Guitar Rock Girls who wouldn't be caught dead with bunny basses or daisy axes. THIS is acceptable behavior for Guitar Rock Girls. They did make the mistake once of trying to look vaguely like Fleetwood Mac. That cost them some kewl points. But they made up for it.

Then again, KeWlNeSs is in the eye of the beholder. I was there the night these pics were taken. Kruger, Oates and Hutchins together again for the very first time. That was a magic, electric night. When I first saw Nicole Hutchins pull out her banjo I stifled a laugh. "How uncool is that?" I groaned. The second she started to play, I swallowed my pride. The banjo can be KeWl in the right hands. So I suppose designer guitars shaped like fluffy animals and plantlife could be KeWl too. It's all a matter of perspective.

Definitely a head-hanging low point in the history of the genre.

While we're on the subject of strange typographical conventions, what does "/me" mean? To me, as a partial electrical engineer, it means "not me" but I assume that's not the intended meaning. (By convention, a slash before a signal name means "the inverse of".)

It's an IRC command. Typing "/me" is a way to emote.

Example, "/me stuffs himself full of chocolate chip cookies and vodka" would come out on the channel as "Aaron stuffs himself full of chocolate chip cookies and vodka".

Which doesn't explain in the least why people still do it. *stuffs himself full...* is a lot more intuitive for non IRC-ers... although I'm not going to make rules. ;)

I kind of want one of those Bunny Basses. I have a tendancy to cut myself repeatedly when I play shows (two of my fingers are bandaged from a show I played last night, terrible ugly cuts pocking my fingers) and it would be a funny scene to see how much blood I could accidentally get on that bass. O.k. maybe I'm just in a bad mood because I can onlky type with one and a half hands right now.

If they're made by Schecter they can't be that bad but I would have thought they would be a little uncomfortable to sit with.
The guitars.
I'm talking about the guitars.
