Benn trying to find some good new rock music and it is a little like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Found this but it is a few years old now and got zero airplay in my area.

That was cool, kind of reminiscent of The Kinks, but a few recent bands have already recycled that raw unadulterated retro sound, like Jet.

You're right Grump, good new rock is hard to find. I watch Guitar Center Sessions religiously, and they regularly showcase modern bands, but their sound tends to be too 'Indie' and artsy for me. Kind of like they are trying too hard to be the new REM or something. One big thing I have noticed is the disappearance of the hard dominant guitar. Driving guitar lines, dual guitars, intricate mind blowing guitar leads. There are no new Brian Mays or David Gilmores or Jerry Cantrels or Tommy Morellos...

That's why these days I tend to listen to (and see live) the latest reincarnations of the past greats. I like the new Alice in Chains, Slash and Miles Kennedy is incredible, Chester Bennigton with STP sounds awesome IMO, and of course there is always the venerable Pearl Jam. Heck, I even watched the rebirth of Jeff Lynn and ELO in concert and they were great...

I have been going back to old favorites that I listened to in college for a little bit of a fix. Would love to find some newer music in a similar vain but am having trouble there. For my guitar fix I always seem to fall back to Satriani.

How great is David Bowie? This (see below) is how great he is. I remember having to go out of the way to find bootlegs of stuff like this. Now it's you think it and there it is.

Lou Reed & Davie Bowie - Dirty Boulevard - So cool hearing Bowie speak Reed's lyrics 

Lou Reed & Davie Bowie - Queen Bitch

 Bowie & Cher - Everything from Neil Diamond to the Beatles to Rodgers & Hart.

With Bing Crosby

With Nine Inch Nails

Nat King Cole's Nature boy, Bowie and Massive Attack. How cool is that?

With Arcade Fire

David Gilmour

Tin Machine  covering The Pixies - HOW ****ING COOL IS THIS!!!!

Bowie with Frank Black - Fashion

Bowie covering The Pixies' Cactus

And the scary thing is I missed a lot of collaborations, Moby, Tina Turner, Luther Vandross, the list goes on.

4 chords repeated over and over and one sentence repeated over and over...

Sounds like something me and my buddies slapped together many times in the past, after many beers and spleefs...

Funny how songs you haven't thought about in years pop up in your mind. This was on Canadian airwaves a lot in its time. The Box - Closer Together. Is there still a 30% mandatory Canadian artists content on Canadian radio?

Mary Margaret O'Hara - Body's in Trouble

One of the best bands you never heard of (actually some may have but they released this album under a different name after the record company would not agree to a doubleLP):

Iggy Pop - the guy to the right of him (stage left) is a member of the band that was in the Paris attacks.

Iggy Pop + a little B-52's

Most Reddit content is hard to understand. Too many trying too hard to be underhanded/obscure/sarcastic/obtuse/knowledgeable/avant-gard (what....on an internet forum?). 

So, I still could not determine who the guy is?

    • I saw this video yesterday, couldn't figure out what he meant, then saw this thread and thought "oh maybe someone knows what he was talking about" and you guys are in the same place as me.  I *think* what he's suggesting is that you play a game such that going low is expected. He said there are different variations of it. I think his variation is you get three goes at a shot. You hit your first shot and it's good enough, then you just take it. If it's not good enough then you can abandon that shot and play another. If you still don't like it, you can hit it a third time, but then you're stuck with it. He's good enough that three goes at a shot ought to give him one that's good enough to move on. He did mention his parameters for what counts as "good enough", although I do note that he should have hit a third go on that pitch from the hazard based on that. He holed the putt though so it worked out in the end. I think if you're not as good as he is (which let's face it is everyone here and virtually everyone on the planet), then you'd adjust those rules to make it such that you might manage to make 5 birdies in a row. So maybe you play a two ball scramble with yourself and if you don't like either one then you can abandon those and hit a third or you play a three ball scramble or whatever it is that you need to make your standard work.  At its base though, it's just like going out and playing from the front tees or playing a scramble with yourself. The goal is to gain comfort with making lots of birdies and going way under par, so that when you find yourself in that situation in a real game, you don't panic. It's an interesting variation and if I ever got to play "for fun" at my home course, then I'd definitely try it.
