TheHoodlums.com Screensaver
I've only just created this, and although it works on our computer, I'm not sure if it'll work on yours.
So just click on the link below and it should (with a bit of luck) download the screensaver (just a collection of 3 moshin photos).
It should download, but after that, I'm afraid I don't have a clue what will happen, your computer might explode, or it might work. It's about a fifty-fifty chance of both.
This is only a trial screensaver. If this one works we'll be putting a special one featuring The Hoodlum's first official stalker and a whole cast of other idiots.

For Sale: Yamaha Rgx 120 d6 Guitar
Great Condition, rarely used (except for flashes of my brilliance)
You could have a test drive no problem. This guitar is a six string version of a 7 string (can play very heavy stuff or use it to create different sounding stuff like I did). If you read the review below you'll see what I mean. At the time i bought it, it was the only one in Ireland, and Bord Failte listed it as a tourist attraction.

Like your music heavy but can't get on with a 7-string? This new Yamaha effort could be the answer
Demo by Simon Bradley
The story of the commercial rise of the 7-string - Steve Vai and Ibanez Universe meets world - has been covered many times in Guitarist. But despite many 7-strings in the past year, the jury is out as to whether the guitar-playing community is as excited by the instrument as manufacturers would have us believe.
This new addition to Yamaha's slightly revamped RGX range is somewhat confusingly described as a '6-string 7-string' and features a twist on the subject of scale length that could well be the answer to the prayers of the nu generation.
The idea of altering the scale of stringed instruments in order to reach different pitches is hardly new. Violins and violas, cellos and double-basses are all broadly the same thing but have been designed to be at their best - both sonically and performance-wise - at vastly differing ranges.
Yamaha's version of the concept has been dubbed Drop 6 and involves a scale that sits roughly between that of a standard 24-fretter and a baritone: 666.8mm (26.25-inch). This allows the guitar to be tuned to the same intervals as standard 440Hz, but to the key of B not E: low to high, B-E-A-D-F#-B.
