That sounds awesome from your description, man. I'm not going to beg, but if you do end up recording a clip with it, feel free to send it my way. :)

I guess I probably shouldn't hijack that thread any further (for what precious little that thread's worth, anyway,) so I came here to say this: Dan Auerbach is a contemporary guitar genius. There. But you already knew that.
Keep it cool,
Jon.

Not at the moment, regrettably. I've been thinking about putting together a new recording soon, though.

This is all excellent practical advice. I will say that a lot of this stuff has really helped me, not with more severe bouts of insomnia, but just with general, non-pathological restlessness. I've basically cut caffeine out of my diet completely over the past few months, and it's helped me tremendously. Also, try turning on a box fan or something else that generates ambient noise while you're in bed--that always helps me, just to have something running and making white noise in the background.

I'm amazed (and confused) at the amount of "yeah, I beat insomnia by going to sleep" posts here. Clearly a lot of you haven't dealt with insomnia or even know what it means. Insomnia is an actual physical inability to sleep or difficulty with falling asleep and/or staying asleep. It can be caused by many things, and can't be dealt with simply by "going to sleep," because you can't cure a disorder by doing that which the disorder leaves you incapable of doing. That suggestion is, if I may be so blunt, idiotic. I have encountered insomnia as a result of PTSD (after getting hit by a car when I was fourteen,) as a secondary condition associated with my clinical depression (also something that's widely misunderstood and is often met with the advice that one should just "get over it,") as a secondary condition associated with my anxiety disorder (also widely misunderstood and met with similar advice to "get over it,") and as a free-standing primary condition seemingly unrelated to other physiological or psychological conditions. It's not easy, it's typically a manifestation of a neurochemical disorder (as are most disorders of the type that are typically misunderstood as "nonsense" conditions,) and what makes it worse is sanctimonious "advice" from uninformed groundlings who aren't as smart as they think they are. OP, if you're struggling with insomnia, get help. A guitar forum, especially one like this, isn't going to give you the treatment you need.

I need NIN for those days when I feel suicidal. For some reason, his music just pulls me straight back from the edge. No other music does that for me in the same way.

Going through the entire Voivod discography. Right now this track is my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N28D3L8Z0es

I love that song. Right now I'm listening to: It's been a very math rock weekend for me. Between all the Battles, Don Cab, Hella and Shellac that I've listened to this weekend, I'd probably go crazy if I had to listen to a 4/4 time signature ever again. [lol]

Just came up on shuffle. It's a little more Forum-friendly than my previous submissions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZDyjBr4VPU AWESOME!

What can I say? He's a guilty pleasure, and this one came up on shuffle (between classes right now, listening to iPod through my speakers.) I couldn't skip it!

The Kinks' compilation album Come Dancing With The Kinks. Every track is a winner! I love The Kinks. I couldn't find my favorite Kinks song ("Long Distance") on YouTube. Here's "Destroyer":

Despite my inflammatory posts lately, it appears as though my reputation has gone up two points. If truth by consensus is valid, then my reputation has improved. I am a better forum member than I was yesterday when my reputation was 34. God I love faulty logic.

Every time I think I'm back to gaining back some legitimacy and respect, I have to go run my mouth like some sort of idiot. I ought to just stop right now.
-
Maybe I should leave this stupid ******* forum.

Yeah, the first three especially were excellent! I have to admit that I haven't played Conviction, although I played Double Agent and, like you, thought it was a let-down. It was not exactly bad--not great either, but still pretty good I'd say.
