  1. Junior Brown could have been a quadriplegic vegetable, and that table still would have produced a litany of incredible songs.
  2. The smaller cities in this part of the world are excellent in this regard as well. Particularly La Crosse, WI and Dubuque, IA. They're both college towns/regional hubs along the Mississippi.
  3. Players Era: Hey ISU, wanna make some $ and play good teams? ISU: Yeah! Players Era: Cool, here's St John's and Creighton. ISU: Beat 'em both, what's next? Players Era: $0 in extra NIL and a noon tip off against a shitty Cuse squad for 5th place.
  4. I don't want to spatchcock due to a hot spot in my pellet grill that will inevitably dry out whatever part of the bird goes over it. So I adjusted by getting a smaller bird (10 lbs - I'm only feeding 5 adults and a toddler) and I'll be doing a 24hrish hr brine, rubbing softened butter over and under the skin as a binder/mositurizer, smothering in a cajun rub and some hot honey, and continually basting with butter as I go. Will likely smoke it in a roaster pan with some beer in the bottom, as well as herbs, chopped garlic, and onion. I can keep off the hot spot and get a little more indirect heat this way, I suspect. Kind of simulating the beer can chicken approach to adjust for my self imposed limitations.
  5. I've posted a lot in this thread, but it really is one of my favorite cities to just fuck off in for a weekend.
  6. The fucking songs that table has produced. Good lord.
  7. Todd and Evan are on my Mt Rushmore of songwriters (along with Mike Cooley and James McMurtry). This is so fucking cool.
  8. 50% gone.
  9. I like Mizzou’s look. OU’s is utter trash
  10. 0. Fucks. Given.
  11. I feel like Wednesday et al are Gen Z on paper but probably have more in common with Millenial stereotypes. They seem to like drugs, fucking, and hell raising more than the rest of their cohort. Much like how us old Millenials (I believe you're a fellow Xennial) were infused with a healthy does of Gen X preferences and outlooks.
  12. Pretty sure the Crutchfield sisters are straight up Millenials. Lenderman is Gen Z.
  13. These are my two favorites off the Snocaps album
  14. Snocaps is basically Waxahatchee's current line up + her sister. If you enjoy it, check out the Waxahatchee albums as well as MJ Lenderman (dude playing drums in the clip) and Wednesday. All part of a big sprawling connected universe/scene that's making some of the best albums of the post COVID era.
  15. Yes. I learned the hard way about posting in the chili thread without making sure that the recipe has less than one deviation from the San Antonio Chili Ladies of 1836's method. Funny part is after absorbing all that eye rolling provincialistic nonsense, I have started making chili (w/out beans) fairly regularly and did a big batch of it for the Iowa/Iowa State game earlier this year. A good buddy of mine was over for the game and he absolutely fucking loved it. He and I, and another good friend were out to lunch this Saturday and he brought up how good that was (suggesting I make a batch for a guy's weekend we're doing in March). Our other friend (who wasn't there that day) got to asking about the recipe. When he found out there were no were no beans in it, he goes "why would you do that??" Like with the same tone he'd have responded with if I told him I started abusing dogs for fun. Their exclusion was as offensive to him as their inclusion is to y'all. Cracked me up.
  16. One of his many eulogies has called his live albums "stand up comedy with really great songs in between". That's pretty much who he was as a performer.
  17. Yeah, it was either the day before or the day after that show (I saw them in St Paul) Isbell played Elephant and you could hear a pin drop. It was one of those moments where you knew you were hearing something that was going to alter things.
  18. Shit, she actually looks like she's lost weight in that video
  19. I remember seeing Isbell open for Todd a few months before Southeastern dropped. Seems wild to say that now, but it made total sense at the time.
  20. Forgot how good this shit is
  21. God damn it, Spike
