  1. It's funny, Maynard & Chuck were the two biggest influences on almost every young trumpet player back then and yet they could not have been much more different. Both very talented, but Maynard was a screamer jazz-rock guy and Chuck was so smooth he might as well have been lumped in with the yacht rockers.
  2. "A" should be capitalized, regardless.
  3. I'm seeing hatch chiles show up at local stores. Any roasting going on anywhere? I don't find them special in any way to pay the extra for raw, but if someone will roast for me, that's a different story.
  4. For the better part of a year in the late 1970s you couldn't miss this tune on radio. I actually met him once, as he went to college with one of my horn teachers so we went to a big outdoor concert west of Chicago. Nice guy.
  5. Both sides! Drink!
  6. Thanks, the rest of the album isn't nearly so metal. Lots of psychy shoegaze influences, emo, punk, etc. Still, pretty heavy hitting.
  7. Yup, at his studio (Studio 4) in Philadelphia. In particular, the drums sound extraordinary, but the whole thing is massive. The drums were actually a kit he built and apparently markets -- aluminum shells! Sep 12 release date, but the first single is out, you can see the video on the "heavy" thread. I knew he did the Turnstile record but I was surprised to see them starting to pop up on celestial radio here in Austin. He has some pull for sure.
  8. This guy (Will Yip) produced the upcoming full length LP for my daughter's band. He's a fucking wizard.
  9. We play 3 road + 1 neutral site SEC game before we have our first conference game at home. We have a total of 3 home and 4 road conference games.
  10. That said, I really enjoyed York, but I did it as a stop on the way to Edinburgh. I'm not sure it's great as a destination, but it's really interesting.
  11. Partial rec: you mentioned Cambridge. I haven't been, but I have been to Oxford, and it's awesome. You might want to dig into recs on which might match your preferences better.
  12. They pushed them off?
  13. Yeah, I'm quite confident Trump just made it up. The irony is that he COULD factually say that gasoline reached a national average of $5.03/gal during the Biden administration, but now that average is down to $3.28/gal. Of course, this would ignore the fact that the price has climbed from $3.20/gal since Trump took office, but let's not worry about minor details.
  14. Yes, unlike A&M and 'bama (hmmm what's common there?) we do not claim nearly a half dozen other "national championships".
  15. Uhhh . . .
  16. Penn has many less than brilliant graduates.
  17. I really think Marmol is starting to get this thing on track.
  18. That 6-pack of Great Dane puppies is the best thing I've seen this week. How would you choose?
  19. An allegedly grown man is calling someone else "dookiesnob". Alrighty.
  20. Hey, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
  21. It's more about the depth of interaction than it is the proximity. I can have a heated argument with dozens of you assholes but it is founded in actual perspective on both/all sides and the debate is real. The average social media interaction is little more than "go bro" or "you suck", and combined with a lack of face-to-face time those people become islands who are incredibly easy to persuade and who are immune to logical counterpoint.
  22. The beauty of that show is that Jeff's ego goes for an hour -- "let me explain this to you" -- and then Ed sucks Jeffcock for another hour.
  23. Hey, leave me out of it.
