The ongoing ructions from the claims about what Ashley Cole may or may not have done are dominating the pop gossip agenda this morning, but that's in the hands of another writer.Luckily, Gordon can keep himself busy with some pictures of Atomic Kitten in their knickers. We'd think there was a stench of desperation about a band who feel people are only going to notice their reunion if they dance about in push-up bras. (Actually, fair dos to Jenny Frost, who has chosen to dress a little more demurely.)And while we're being fair, Gordon does have a cracking story this morning, with the news that McFly are trying to grow up:The lads - TOM FLETCHER, DANNY JONES, DOUGIE POYNTER and HARRY JUDD - have decided the time has come to grow up and shake off the shackles of being a boy band.Yes, they're planning to leave Island and get serious. Indeed:They have instructed management to hunt out a new deal similar to the one PAUL McCARTNEY signed with coffee giants Starbucks.We really hope that they'r

Hey ATOMIC fans.
Things around here have been a little dead lately as you already know. I just had a relaxing holiday break and now everything is back in full swing!
What to Look Forward to in 2008
Audio interviews with great guitarists around the world (getting their inside scoop on influences, playing, and more).
Crazy guitar jams from others besides myself. If you have one you'd like me to link to, you can contact me today by using the contact form.
Video lessons... My webcam is out of commission already, but as soon as I get HP on the phone, new speed lessons and more will be back in action.
More good insights... More posts about stuff I don't like and like...
All the Best,
Jason Parker

To clarify, the watch does not have a GPS, so it does not know where it is; the solution is to simply input your current time zone. Other than that, the thing sets itself to within a second or two of the atomic clocks via a radio signal. The auto updates occur several times a day; read the directions for initial set-up and you will be fine. I have owned several "atomic" watches and clocks all of which work fantastic. I don't intend to ever reset a clock again due to power outages or whatever. For those of you who can't handle this simple technology, please keep your opinions to yourselves and good luck feeding yourselves today.Great watch for the p
Here's another linux blog entry covering another nice classic game running on Fedora 8.
Atomic Tanks is a game in which you control an overly-powerful tank and attempt to blow up other highly powerful tanks. Players get to select a number of weapons and defensive items and then attack each other in a turn-based manner. The last tank standing is the winner. More info from here.

#1. Washburn OE30 Oscar Schmidt $139.99
Topping the list of the ATOMIC Guide's most valuable cheap guitars, the OE30 is a semi hollowbody that's been discontinued by Washburn. MSRP priced at $349.90, you can get this howling thick-toned resonator for $139.99 online. The versatility of this cheap guitar is amazing. The Twin HH pickups makes it good for Rock, but it also makes for a great beginner or intermediate Jazz or Country guitar.
Note: If you're a parent looking for a great low cost guitar for your son or daughter, the OE30 may not have the design they'll like. Not many kids are playing hollowbodies these days.

#2. B.C. Rich Bronze Series Warlock $179.99
The B.C. Rich Bronze Series Warlock looks like it was crafted in the 9th level of hell and it's a straight up Country killer. Worth at least twice it's price, this ax has only one purpose in this life: crunching, shredding, thrashing Heavy Metal.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Have fun playing guitar for your families and what not.
Unfortunately for me I won't be seeing my family this year, having made a move out of state. I just don't have the gas money. Know what I mean?
Sorry to bum you out if I did.
Anyway, here's Brad Jones playing "Wild Turkey."
My band, The Atomic Horns, will be playing tomorrow night at the Elk's Club in Oak Ridge at 8:00pm.The blogging public is invited, but I'd ask you let me know if you're planning to come because I have to give them your name at the door for access. There's no cover, and I'm sure there will be plenty of liquid refreshments :)I believe the Elk's Club is across from the Home Depot on the Oak Ridge Turnpike, near Traffic Light #3. I can have more detailed directions available soon.Come out and hear us!From Knoxville…getting into OR from the east…jump on Melton Lake Dr (starts near Bull Run Steam Plant – winds beside the lake where they row)…when you get to the marina take a left on Emory Valley Rd, heading west.

Hey ATOMIC fans. I have a huge announcement.
ATOMIC Guitarist may be going communal starting this week, in which anyone can sign up and have a guitar blog.
I have two goals in mind:
1) Help each other become the best guitarists we can be in a positive way.
2) Allow anyone to have a voice among thousands of guitarists on the net.
Membership will be free.
Also, I just wanted to say that talking to myself most of the time has become boring. I like to hear what others have to say about things.
If you have any objections, please reply below.
I have family coming in town this weekend, ATOMIC fans, so if I don't get around to posting much... no I didn't die in a tragic badminton accident.
My daily guitar jams will be on hold for a little while because I'm going into full songwriting mode starting Monday. However, but, but, I'm dying to hear some guitar jams by you. Upload a jam on the net somewhere and submit a link to it using ze contact form (cough... JP, Jon, IG).
15+ lessons have been added to the ATOMIC Insiders-only lessons. Including 25+ guitar speed exercises, a lesson on fretboard memorization (with purpose), a lesson on playing in the key of G, a couple lessons on modes, and a couple others.
Take it easy everybody. You rock.

In other words "I broke it". I am very pleased with this watch. It tells me the time, lights up, and also gives the date. I haven't attempted to figure out the other stuff it does as I am only interested in what time it is here and now. It works really great for that purpose (and all the other gizmos might work really well too). It was cheaper than Walmart as I got free shipping and no sales tax.Great watch It's a G-Shock, so yeah, it's big. But it's not nearly as bulky as the other G-Shocks I've seen. I charged it up the first day as instructed and it's been at fu
Behind the scenes I've been working on a special treat for ATOMIC readers. I have nearly 30 guitar speed exercises (that are guaranteed to double or even triple your soloing speed in less than a week (for some, in one day).
Note: you'll have to sign up above to get the rest of the free guitar speed lessons.
If you're already fast, the lessons won't be quite as profound on your playing, but for those of you who get told you suck all the time, rub your hands together because these legato runs, riffs, combo runs, and power runs are going to give you the edge you've been looking for.
(Don't steal my guitar lessons and put them on your website. 1) I'll break your guitar against the wall then set it on fire. 2) You'll go to hell. 3) This is copywritten material.)
By the way, don't mind how the tabs run into the sidebar of the website. I don't claim to be an ATOMIC computer nerd.
Enjoy!
