I've just spent about an hour of hyperfocus trying to decipher the name of a square plucked string instrument. While I didn't find the answer, my phone autocorrected "square" to "squire", which led to this absolute gem of a google image result. I know if anyone will appreciate it, it's Tumblr.

[astramachina]

every time Hotel California comes on i just get this deep-rooted desire that borders on longing to pick up a guitar again. owning a guitar would fix me, i think.

[lordmalinov]

My first guitar was made of plastic. I was four and played a passable Polly Wolly Doodle. When I was ten, I had played enough on a 3/4 acoustic to know what I wanted; an electric guitar and lessons. Armed with a blue semi-acoustic department store guitar with a single humbucker, I learned and learned and learned until I played the school talent show which I performed after acting in an Abbott and Costello skit. My first guitar teacher was an old man who taught me music theory and how to rock with the popular songs of the early seventies. Then I studied under a guitarist with the KC Philharmonic, an unpleasant and demanding young artsy man who drilled me in classical guitar.

In 1987, freshly divorced, my sole act of personal empowerment was to buy a new '87 Japanese Squire Stratocaster with dual humbuckers. What I knew about electric guitars at the time might have filled a 3x5 notecard but I knew what I wanted. I'm not fond of acoustic guitars, nor did I want a single coil pickup. It's an unusual guitar and I've always loved it deeply.

But in the last ten years, the electronics in my guitar have gone wonky, with weak performance and loose wires. So, after 27 years, the time has come to replace the pickups, switch and potentiometers and restore this beauty to a glory it had long lost.

First, removing the strings!

Update: removed the strings and the electronics, oiled the fretboard and painted a few chipped spots. Realized that I need to replace the bridge as well. How do you lose a single spring holding the E string?

Interestingly, under the glossy black paint is a coat of bright red paint. I suspect that using a nail to scratch away the black would leave red lines, which could be used to make some very cool designs. I've been considering this for about twenty years, maybe it is time to think seriously about what I could design.

New humbuckers and a new bridge - now for the part I'm dreading, the soldering ...

For the lovely @withacapitalp happy birthday Liam hope you have the best day today!!!!

Steve had been pacing around the apartment all morning. Well, pacing wasn't really the right word, Eddie would describe it more like having the same zoomies their cat Toothpaste has at 3am.

You see today was–"It's Robin Day, Eds!" As his lovely boyfriend had practically screamed in his ear at 5am. "And it will still be Robin day when you return from your job at a normal waking hour, babe."

Eddie had hoped the jog would've gotten some of the energy out of Steve's system but he seemed more hyper on his return, at least he'd brought Eddie coffee.

"Love, Robin isn't even on the plane yet."

"I know, but it's today, Eds."

Steve looked so bright it made all of Eddie's sleepiness fade away. It had been hard, living away from Robin. They'd all shared an apartment when she went away for college but by the time she got a job in New York, Steve and Eddie were not only dating finally but settled into Chicago life.

They spoke every day of course, Robin and Steve never missed a nightly catch up of the day's events, Eddie didn't even know what they'd talk about once they were in the same state again. Eddie knew Robin would always be Steve's number one and he loved that about him.

There was one other thing about today though. "Sweetheart, you know it's not just Robin Day, right?"

Steve looked confused at his boyfriend, kind of like the way a puppy looks when you move his toy.

"What could be more important about today than that."

Eddie began humming a specific tune wrapping his arms around Steve's waist. "Oh, right, my birthday, 24 isn't exactly a big deal Eds," Steve said rolling his eyes.

Eddie laughed, "Your birthday is the reason Robin's coming, sunshine, plus after the number of times we've both almost died I think every birthday is a big deal."

Steve nodded his head and returned the embrace Eddie had been giving him, "True, you think you're gonna have a quarter life crisis in August, Mr 25?"

Eddie grinned, "Oh yeah, I think imma buy a guitar and start a band." Steve laughed, while Corroded Coffin never got famous they got relatively well known in the local scene, Tuesdays were now a regular gig at The Squire downtown.

"Four hours til she lands," Steve said kissing Eddie's cheek and running upstairs to make sure the guest room was ready for the tenth time. "Still not on the plane yet!" Eddie called up laughing.

Four and a half hours later their loving room was filled with laughter and joy once more. "And then the guy asked the flight attendant for another ginger ale and Steve this man was looking green and you know how I don't deal with sick people well I'm surprised I survived the flight at all," Robin rambled filling Steve in on her flight from hell.

"Honestly, you should just move back here, save yourself the flight," Steve joked. Robin glanced at Eddie, one little birthday surprise they hadn't told Steve yet.

"Actually, my contract is ending in two weeks, and um, they offered to extend it at...their Chicago office."

Steve was frozen, if Eddie didn't know better he'd think Vecna had returned from the dead to finish them off after all these years. Then the screaming started.

"YOU'RE MOVING BACK TO CHICAGO!"

"I'M MOVING BACK TO CHICAGO!"

Pretty soon everyday would be Robin Day and with his boy looking that happy Eddie wouldn't want it any other way.

Liam Gallagher: “We put an offer on the table for Oasis and Noel said no.” Speaking exclusively in MOJO magazine, Liam says Noel Gallagher turned down an offer to reform Oasis for this year’s Definitely Maybe anniversary. Liam Gallagher By MOJO Staff | Published22 Minutes Ago February 16th 2024

Speaking in the new issue of MOJO magazine, Liam Gallagher has revealed that Noel Gallagher turned down an offer to reform Oasis for the forthcoming 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe.

“Noel? He ain’t fucking doing it,” Liam tells MOJO’s Ted Kessler in this month’s MOJO cover feature.

In June, Liam Gallagher embarks on a UK arena tour to mark the anniversary of Oasis’ debut album. Noel Gallagher recently suggested on Talksport Radio that all Liam had to do was call him up to see about healing the rift that’s existed since Oasis split in 2009, but Liam claims an offer to reform was rejected by his older brother.

“I did call him! Well, my people called Noel’s management team,” reports Liam. “We put an offer on the table for an Oasis thing – because we got offered it – and he said no. It was a big tour, a lot of money. He turned it down. I get it, he’s got a divorce going down. I’ll do the Definitely Maybe thing and have a nice time without him.”

2025 will see the anniversary of Oasis’ second album Morning Glory? So perhaps Liam is holding out for a future rapprochement?

“It’s down to the universe. It’ll happen when it happens, it’s not in our hands anymore,” says Liam. “Me, I love nostalgia though. I’m doing the lot. Every album, even… what was the last one?”

Dig Out Your Soul?

“Fucking right, man! You never enjoy them the first time round, so I’ll be milking the lot. People say it’s the comfort zone – I want to be in the comfort zone! Bring me my slippers and my little blankie and put me in the comfort zone, please. Life’s stressful enough.”

Oasis: Every B-Side Ranked!

Elsewhere in MOJO’s exclusive interview with Liam and former Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, the pair discuss the origins of their new collaborative album, how The Stones Roses inspired Oasis, the injury that almost meant Squire never played guitar again and why Squire’s former outfit never recorded a third album.

It's so lovely what John says about Liam:

“I’m not talented enough as a writer to choose what’s going to emerge. I just sit there with a guitar and hope for the best. I got lucky with this stretch of ten songs,” Squire says of the process. “I won the FA Cup when I heard Liam singing on the demo. So I could have got out at that point and had a happy life.”
