  1. I am very limited in my “playing in drop d”…. range, but go learn - Cover Me Up Speed Trap Town Whitehouse Road and you’ll pretty much get it? There’s pretty much a new G and a new E and a lot of the same but you get that great low D. Play some Norwegian Wood.
  2. These three have all been great for me. Maybe not all time eps but pretty classic Sunny, moreso than most of the episodes last season.
  3. I understand why it's difficult to do, but I really wish I could have the original soundtrack. For some reason, Canada is the level I was really missing when THPS1+2 came out. Haven't gotten past airport yet, but this is a fun trip down memory lane. Still a fun game.
  4. for the longest time I thought that this was sampling literally some Dave Matthews deepcut. Wrong David Matthews this was the soundtrack to every college party in 2006 oh man just hearing ying yang twins over bittersweet symphony is taking me back
  5. What years? It's possible that I'm out of date, but I suspect that the poor QC Gil has heard about is with the Chinese electromatic Gretsches. I have two FMIC era Japanese Gretsches and they are great - they are the professional line Gretsch guitars. I think that post FMIC that remains the same. @AnotherUTFan is probably still our resident Gretsch expert though. (I’m finna throw ditch or otherwise store everything on that awful bookshelf, don’t tell anyone how I live) 2006. Bought from South Austin Music. Would’ve brought it back for the reunion show in Austin if I wasn’t afraid to take it on the flight.
  6. I'm in the exercise portion of that book right now and rucking sounds like the kind of activity I could happily incorporate into routine. I think generally what I want in my "Centenarian Olympics" repertoire is to continue to be able to move around without pain for as long as possible, and to do that basic "get through the airport and lift a bag into the overhead" as a fairly old man. I might stick a kettlebell in a backpack and take a walk later. My wife just asked if she could have some ibuprofen. I keep a bottle in my desk, one of those 500 tablet bottles because I used to go through quite a bit. Weaning off of that hasn't been an explicit goal but pulling that bottle out from underneath a bunch of other shit made me realize how long it's been since I've taken any. That is definitely a change that has occurred since dropping a bunch of weight this year.
  7. Freaky Friday 2 is in theaters and Fender should really reissue the Tele-Sonic chambered mahogany body, dearmond pups, 4 knob layout. Red and black.
  8. been slowly slowly playing oblivion. just downloaded this though can't fucking wait
  9. I'm on to season 4 in the latest rewatch. I was in my twenties when I first watched this and thought that Stringer was super smart. And, he's not a moron, but with a bit more seasoning it's interesting watching again and realizing how much fo a dipshit he still is (how self satisfied he is with his assessment of cell phone market saturation, his stupid roberts rules of order, him just taking Clay Davis' bait every time. And every single misstep he makes sealing his fate because he thinks he's the smartest motherfucker around. He would have been fucked anyways - i missed it before, but there's a phone call right at the end of season three that indicates he contracted some hitters (to hit Clay Davis). There's no way that whatever plan he had would have stood up to the scrutiny that would have come down with a hit on a politician. Avon was the smarter one out of the two of them, and he was a trillion percent correct with his assessment of Stringer being not hard enough for this right here and not smart enough for that out there. Another cool thing I've noticed a few times that I missed in previous viewings is the trick they'll do with the sound editing where you'll here some background noise and it will continue into the next scene at a different location. In season 2, they throw the guns that land on the boat, the boat's horn blows, and then it cuts to the Greek in the diner and the horn is blowing farther off in the background. Same at the end of episode 1 or 2 of season 4 when Carcetti is drunk on the park bench being told to move it along by a cop, and there's a police siren far off in the background, and then you're with Randy sitting on his stoop and the same siren is still going, much closer. I always took it as Wee Bey is a free agent but he recognizes Namond as his child and at the very least, he takes care of his baby mama and Namond and perhaps even as a member of the family in a sometimes conventional way. While also having his own crib and drug-fucking shorties to death and etc.
  10. What’s the best Texas polo these days? I like a basic pique polo ( but the one on the coop website looks like it might be shitty) but am curious about the general consensus.
  11. Man that’s like lesson two “oh cool, James Bond” stuff I usually hang by the bridge, which is why I have trouble with the strat volume knob sometimes.
  12. If you feel like being brave; play rhythm with the tele bridge

  17. One time at the old Redrum I was singing into a 58 and saw Leslie's asshole at a 90 degree angle.

    I actually was having some second thoughts on the orange - my instructions say that jello is OK as long as it's not red or purple. Orange is close to red, but it's not exactly a niche jello color and you'd think they'd say it explicitly if they're listing which colors of jello not to eat.

  20. Combine the two paragraphs here for the change, I think. It used to be that you had people who were obsessed on a topic and did the work to go down the rabbit holes to become that type of kook. Now if you get on the internet you’ll inevitably stumble across a video that gives you special information making you smarter than all of those bookfag experts. If that kind of thing tickles your fancy, there are more right there and pretty soon the internet will learn to feed you that information almost exclusively.

  23. An AI tool that detects when posters are being shitheads and moves their posts to a penalty box thread. So, in football there would be the Quinn Ewers thread [7 pages] and the Quinn Ewers Penalty Box [527 pages].
