  1. Past hour
  2. Aloof is the wrong word. That implies an "I'm better than you" attitude that I don't think QE really embodied. I think it's possible he's just a quiet introvert in a world that rewards brash extroverts (especially in leadership-oriented positions). I think he hews closer to Tim Duncan attitude-wise (not skill obviously).
  3. One last hurrah for Scrap Iron. He's dealing with terminal cancer.
  4. Perhaps I missed something, but what's the perv talk about? I don't think there is a character on the show where the actress playing them is under about 22.
  5. You know what they say about a guy with huge hands.. heyhooooo
  6. Couldn't link because the Tweet was deleted but here is the context. The president of YPF (the Argentinian oil company and Colapinto's sponsor) who forgot the microphone was on and revealed off-line that Colapinto would be competing in the Alpine from Imola.
  7. Ok maybe Pena is fucking around today after all
  8. Saw this and thought, "hey, there are some good deals here if you have some scratch put away". Particularly Portugal.
  9. Guess they make it up in volume
  10. I agree with you on small and medium sized town food. This place is an exception though : https://thecrazywaterhotel.com/eat-drink/ . They even have a good wine list.
  11. Folks we are getting old
  12. Funny. My mom grew up on a farm outside of Blanket, and the rest of her family was scattered from the Brownwood/Early metropolis to San Saba, Goldthwaite, and on down to Bertram. So, anyway, what the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
  13. Would love to have a thread where we talk about new Austin music and bands. By that I mean recent bands... up and coming... lesser known... yes, could be a band like Die Spitz (cough cough @jimmyjazz ) or someone maybe newer or just making their name. Just really not something like old Austin music like Marcia Ball's latest release (sorry to Marcia Ball... just trying to find an older example that is not SRV). Basically a place to share newish bands with each other. I'm a big fan of going to shows like Free Week, Hot Summer Nights, random lineups at Empire, Far Out, Hole in the Wall, etc. (which reminds me I really need to catch a band at Friendly Rio Market) Bring'em on. I'm not big on country so you won't see that from me although I can dig some bluegrass/Americana live since I have friends who play in that scene. In fact, I'll lead with that... here's a few that I'll share. Pecan Street Preachers - friends with these guys. Dustin really only started playing and recording about 3 years ago and his friend Graham has helped him get off the ground. They started Pecan Street Preachers last year. Played Saxon last night and will be playing the main stage at Luckenbach in June. Anyway, a few others... Queen Serene usually plays places like Hotel Vegas, 13th Floor, etc. Big fan of their loud, fuzzy sound that is almost hypnotic Figure Factor - Trying to find more shows by them but I really like their post-punk sound. Saw them at Elysium - they were great: https://figurefactor.bandcamp.com/track/hip-check https://figurefactor.bandcamp.com/album/rituals-in-transfigured-tone Billy King and the Bad Bad Bad - went to one of their record release shows. Great band. Straight up rock. The Past Lives - Strong recommendation of seeing them live. First saw them at ACL in 2022. Knew nothing about them (most knew nothing about them) and they blew doors. Very dynamic frontman... great show. Being Dead is far from a secret... kind of has a California surf-inspired sound. Saw them open for Husbands at 3Ten and then caught them again at ACL last year. Great on-stage dynamic. Really funny and very talented. Grocery Bag. @jimmyjazz and I were messaging about them before catching them play a free show at Blazer Tag. Yes, Blazer Tag. Can't remember the full line up but I think it was Magic Rockers of Texas, Prehuman, Queen Serene and Grocery Bag. Saw them play a SXSW day show at Hotel Vegas, too. Loud and full of energy. DAIISTAR oh man I love the wall of sound they bring. Already signed with Fuzz Club and starting to tour Europe. So good and so loud live. I mean, when you end up on KEXP...
  14. Fair enough. Biden did a particularly bad job blaming inflation on Trump, even though it was global and probably neither of their fault.
  15. "They have ships loaded, filled with stuff we don't need." Get a load of that, 'muh freedoms' people. Your president is determining what you do and don't "need" to be buying.
  16. I mean he's capable of hitting the zone consistently with his wife.
  17. How in the hell did they screw up Jordan Walker so badly?
  18. Couldn't link.
  19. Cam has a really good approach/eye at the plate man. That's not like a guy whose played 30 games above A ball at all.
  20. I mean, you're a bad politician if you don't at least TRY to spin it that way.
  21. Oli Marmol is a stupid asshole, so I'm team ump on that one. The pitch Oli was arguing about was called correctly anyways.
  22. Used ones are cheap as shit. The value of a used Tesla has taken a nosedive. If Elon wasn’t a Nazi, I would be tempted to buy a low mileage one to tool around in.
