  • Common Moves of the Bass Player

    by Streeter Seidell March 05, 2008
    Bass players are the most underappreciated members of any rock band. Next to their more theatrical bandmates, the bass player is often mistaken for boring or stiff. This couldn't be further from the truth. Bass players have many exciting moves all their own, like...

    The 'Whoa, Did You Just See Me Slide Up the Fretboard?'
    Almost from nowhere the bassist will go from playing a progression in the lower register to playing a similar one a few octaves higher, by way of a long slide up the fretboard. It's this kind of charismatic move that makes bass players beloved princes of the stage. Man, you guys eat this sh*t up. I can see from the stage how you're like 'whaaaaaat!' when I bust this out.

  • New Front Page

    by Streeter Seidell February 27, 2008
    Hey everyone, it's been a few days since we switched up the site to have a new, bigger staff picks section up top, a wider article column on the front page and a better hotlinks section.  Now we want know what you guys think.  A few things first, though.

    Jeff and I hand select each item that appears in Staff Picks so rest assured it's not some randomly generated list.  I've also seen some of you guys start commenting and liking the Hotlinks which is great.  Kevin and I spend a lot of time on them every day so it's nice to get some feedback there, too.  Finally, the way the articles section works is different now, too.  Not everything on the front page runs in the articles column and vice versa, so each section has unique content.  Also, anyone can get their writing on the articles page if it's good instead of just the featured users so make sure to keep writing.  

    Anyway, if you have anything to say about the new design, good or bad, say it here.

  • NIU Shooting

    by Streeter Seidell February 15, 2008
    Unfortunately, I find myself for the second time in as many years posting an article about a school shooting. This one, as I'm sure you've heard, was at NIU - a very active school on CH.

    So again I'll say that we'll continue to post funny videos, pictures and articles because that's our job but know that, despite the laughs, our thoughts are with the students at NIU. If you have anything to say about it, do it here.

  • Oh, That? (Part II)

    by Streeter Seidell February 07, 2008
    The other day I told you all about our new channels and the fancy stuff in them. Well, today I'm going tell you all about two other big sections and some changes we've made there.

    Hotlinks: Our brand new hotlinks section has some features I hope you guys like, like Likes, comments and tags. In addition to that section being better, I'm thrilled to announce that I wrote the word 'like' three times in a row and it still made sense. Finally, I'm always looking for good stuff to link to so if you find anything on your travels across the Internet, submit it at CollegeHumor.com/Upload.

    Articles: Other than being a bit wider and having new column headers, we've changed the way the newest page works. Now, anyone can get an article on the newest page and, if it does well there, on to the front page. So start writing and rest assured I'll see your article when you post it.

    Hope you guys like the changes and if you have anything at all to say about them, positive or negative, leave it in this thread at our Facebook Fan page.

  • Oh, That?

    by Streeter Seidell February 05, 2008
    As you may have noticed, we have a fancy new navigation bar at the top of the page. It's full of fancy words like "Channels" and Showbiz" which are written in a fancy font called NimbusSanTCon. "But Street," you're probably saying, "When are you going to get Amir back for the Yankee prank? And when is the new Street Fighter? And also what is a channel?" Allow me to answer: 1) April 12th, 2) tomorrow, and 3) Channels are brand new themed content areas run by some of your favorite CH staffers.

    Right now we've got five channels, each special in its own way. Girls and CHTV are the same as they've always been, but Sports, Video Games and Showbiz are all new and being edited by Amir, Jeff and Sarah, respectively. Each channel will have its own pictures, videos, links and articles in addition to those found on the main pages. Plus, each time you visit a channel Jake will send you a personalized, handwritten letter of thanks. Yeah, we've got your address already.

    Also, keep an eye out for a brand new hotlinks section coming later this week. If you have a suggestion for a channel you'd like to see, leave it in the comments. And no, we're not going to make a 'Ph1rst!' channel so don't bother.
