Man o' man, I am a sucker for when the drummer plays on the bell of the ride cymbal.

Or a band with two Rickenbackers?

Holy Jesus Christ you are so right, Jason.

And I'm really sad snack-rock never took off.

It's true, the chorus pedal is an embarrassment, but actual twin leads are always awesome.

Wahwah pedals ... I'm easily amused I guess. 

But real musical gimmicks -- I always get a kick out of old girl group songs (or some old country songs) where instead of singing a stanza, they speak it, and then maybe go back to singing after that.

John Junk makes the baby dave cry. I like the chorus. I hope to employ it some day in the future in Von Scharpling 4.2
