  1. PBS kids is the kinda one refuge of “if you need to pull the screen lever, at least it’s safe”. We really don’t iPad except on planes or long car trips, but we uninstalled YouTube - you get them set up with whatever innocuous thing and then 2 seconds later who knows. On PBS Kids you can at least buy 20 minutes without someone trying to sell your 2 year old corn syrup.
  2. Exactly. It’s a whole philosophy.
  3. It’s almost as if capitalism run amok in the media and the church has created an environment where millions of people look to an atheist rapist of children to learn what Jesus wants them to do. But at this point sure let’s do this and continue free marketing the schools, get real weird with it.
  4. because the idea that free markets bring the best solution or even a solution to every problem is fantastical silliness. the government has a role in promoting the public good.
  5. Victories like this make it easy to forget that you voted for a child rapist.
  6. \m/ just popping in for Correa excitement
  7. Jesus Christian or American Christian?
  8. Finally realized what the gen z haircut reminds me of
  9. I would also imagine that the work required to route and install blocks or remove and replace blocks on a neck would be more expensive than just getting the neck you’re looking for, but I haven’t done the research
  10. this is pretty good and all but you didn't hear me tear this up as a 15 year old. made first band
  11. Wegmans is open today. And Harris Teeter, goddammit I miss HEB
  12. If I wasn’t paying particularly close attention to the lyrics and the song was decontextualized and you told me that Down Under was a Christmas song from an Americana Christmas album I’d nod and accept that as true.
  13. I’m not 100% that I’m not mixing concerts together but I could swear I saw TOP with BB King and Jimmie Vaughan (and Indigenous) at the Arena in Houston in the late 90s. I was a kid going to a concert with my dad so of course it was incredible but I remember it being incredible.
  14. I tried out of the Cadets of Bergen County in like.... 2002, 2003 maybe (I got offered alternate for Cadets and membership for Crossmen, I ended up not doing it)? I can't remember if this was one of the songs we worked up at camp or whatever, but I wound up with the sheet music and, given a couple of days to get back into shape I think I could still rip the first part on my flugelhorn. I was in Jr High in the napster era. THPS and Blink 182 were already shaking me out of whatever mainstream nu-metal rap rock shit I was half into as a 13 year old MTV viewer and then I downloaded this album and it was game on i could go down the rabbit hole of every ska band I found my way towards, and I should go ahead and toss a Reel Big Fish song up.. but then this show was one that blew my 17 year old mind. I was excited to see the fucking Voodoo Glow Skulls at my own bands favorite venue to play at and oh yeah Rx Bandits that's cool too, and they were there with a totally different sound than their very very third wave stuff for good measure and why not
  15. Snipe Hunter is interesting. Definitely a different sound. I thought I hated it at first but I think I’m going to wind up sitting with it and coming around.
  16. A thing that stuck out to me at the end of season 3 this time was the “we found a body!” bit with Johnny OD’ing in Hamsterdam. The timeline is fuzzy on that whole thing but it was going for months? They would have had people dropping out every day starting in week 1. That’s how it would have fallen apart.
  17. Wow. Yeah I mean world class asshole but he was a legend of my childhood.
  18. Oh hell yeah man that sounds great. I’m so excited for them!
  19. Oh shit, Will Yip did your daughter’s band’s record? That’s a big deal, he’s like “the guy” for that whole genre.
  20. I think this is going to be a whole thing. I’m already thinking about buying shit for it, getting one of those backpacks you can stick a kid in. Some goody shoes and a camelbak. I think I want a slightly longer walk and I think I can up the weight. Bizarre sticking 30 lb in a backpack and breaking a sweat and then realizing 7 months ago I was carrying more than that much extra around with me 24/7. but what a pleasant way to get some exercise in. Saw some cows, listened to some music, walked by a creek.
  21. Not showing up, I was just listening to Buck Owens this morning. Someone should buy this
  22. It's funny we're talking alternate tunings and then just wind up on drop D, which... is an alternate tuning but it almost doesn't count. And it's so obvious why you want some familiarity there in the arsenal - both the sad (Speed Trap Town) and the gritty (Choctaw Bingo) version of that sound are so great and so reliant on that low D. For something that will be entirely unappreciated by this crowd but makes me want to go put on girl jeans and a too thin t-shirt with song lyrics ironed on to it - the goal there of course is not mastering the neck and then expanding past, it's... doing this one thing that makes this specific sound. in practice-
