Flip (album)

Flip is a 1985 solo album from Nils Lofgren, longtime guitarist for Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. [2] The sound is typical of the style of the mid-80's, with a heavy emphasis on the snare drum sound, Lofgren's guitar, [3] and plenty of synthesizer. The name of the album reflects his signature trampoline 'flips' performed on stage whilst playing guitar solos.[4]

gollark: It's not very good, in my experience.
gollark: I think it sort of does?
gollark: Implemented it on computers, i mean.
gollark: Wikipedia says "stenotype" is faster. I wonder if anyone's implemented that.
gollark: As I said, from what I've heard, it was just designed to stop them jamming by spreading the keys out, not by making you type slower; I shall have to check.
