The Way Things Are

Work It Out Now

header_rockband_penny.jpgNow that the girlfriend and I have our new place setup the way we like it, we can focus on more important stuff like getting the band back together. Yes, Friendship Adventure is back and we’ve even got a new guitarist so that I don’t have to pull double duty on the vocals (even if it does give me an excuse to break out the mic stand). That puts me back behind the drums and returning to an old problem: my faulty red pads.

I never did get a chance to send in my second kit, so instead I turned to the Internet to help solve my problems. I had heard rumors on these here Internets that a mere penny could solve my waning pads. As it turns out, the rumors are true! I looked up a video and proceeded to pry the covers off my drums by force (naturally, the only answer). Once inside, all I had to do was unscrew the sensor, replace the rubber shock pad with a shiny, US penny and put it back together. The entire operation took about 5 minutes and behold, the drum roll is back!

Now if only the download content could return to glory, too. The six pack of Boston was incredible and while “Still Alive” was cute, it was still only one song. Worse yet, tomorrows content is none other than the awful selections from the once-exclusive Official PlayStation Magazine disc. Having “Sprode” on another game is nice, I guess, but it’s been scientifically proven that any Freezepop song is infinitely superior with guitars. To what depraved favor must it come to for “Who’s Next” to see a release already?
