So glad someone mentioned Bob Gould! It reminded me of the AV Club Decemberists cover of “If I Can’t Change Your Mind”, which I adore. It disappeared from YouTube for a while and slipped my mind-thrilled to find it again!!!
Lovely episode of “Gear Talk”. I saw The Decemberists with you playing the Gretsch in Winnipeg during WTWWBW tour. Nice to know the back story. Can you do Gear Talk on pedals? Pretty please, Colin ❤️
Always been a fan of Gretsch guitars. I have an Electromatic in the sea foam green, which I always thought was the perfect color until I saw yours..... quite a beautiful color your impetuous decision makings led you to.
I fell in love with a Gretsch 6125 in smoke green that David Schelzel from The Ocean Blue used to play back in the early 90's. I spent a lot of time in guitar shops playing that guitar, but never dropped the money on one for myself.
Oh this was enjoyable. And I totally agree with the whole relic thing. I once owned a Fender Road Worn 50s Precision Bass that was made in 2017 but was supposed to look like it has been played since 1957. I just couldn't get comfortable with it and it and how fake it was. And when I saw others, they all had the wear in the exact same spot. And like that belt buckle wear, some of it was so excessive or just in a weird spot that would never get so worn. I loved the flying V story. We've all lusted over guitars or basses that our heroes played. Good for you for getting one and keeping it. Thanks for sharing, Colin!!

fixed!
I've always appreciated Carson's directorial inclusions.

Bob Mould! Love all his iterations. I’ve been particularly enjoying nostalgic listenings to Sugar. Here’s a very interesting interview with Bob Mould about the making of Copper Blue and the gear he used..... that ‘87 strat he uses has always been a source of eye candy for me: https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/interview-bob-mould-talks-sugars-1992-album-copper-blue-528887
Now all I can picture is, Colin, coming out with a Flying V to start “Make You Better”.
Thank you! As a person who doesn’t play guitars , but likes them, that was very interesting . Yes sir, you are a hoot!

Very entertaining and self-effacing.
Love those big old Gretsch guitars.
Once again, even though I’ve not seen it, I already love it.
