  1. Ironically, the two deep td passes were not great. Worthy’s was brutally bad and Mitchell’s wasn’t great. Wrs made incredible plays. even more ironically, Quinn threw an absolutely perfect goal line throw on 3rd and goal in the first drive and worthy did a terrible job and he threw an NFL quality laser to Mitchell deep in our own territory that Mitchell dropped when the bama db timed his hit perfectly. once Quinn settled down his feet after the first quarter and started to see/trust that our oline was there to play the best game they have in more than a decade, he did a really good job of delivering most of the time. Still some bad plays on the 3rd and short and 4th and short throwing to the only guy covered. But now that he’s starting to trust more than just worthy and sanders and the oline is putting in A+ pass protection performances, there’s some real potential for sustained offensive success. Great game from both lines last night. Looking forward to Hill’s season on D.
  2. Critically, not qb sneak fumbles but qb sneak backwards passes/muffs.
  3. i knew i was supposed to hate that walt whitman woke mother fucker. actually shit-for-brains tuberville probably does hate him since he was on the side of the united states of america.
  4. Forecasts for next week already starting to creep up. Had mid-80s after Monday and already into low 90s and no rain.
  5. which is hilarious given that buzbee was arrested for a dwi.
  6. man, you can try and take the attorney out of personal injury attorney but your can't take the personal injury attorney out of the attorney. what a fucking greasy scuzz.
  7. My takeaway from this game is that it’s my hope that the Patterson defensive culture is finally out of TCU’s fabric and that Dykes is turning them into cal and smu where they give up 50 points a game. Last year there was still holdover defensively…as well as a 100th year qb and a some talent on offense that’s not there.
  8. God fucking damnit I hate being right.
  9. Lol
  10. tell me why i'm wrong for tonight? over 43 on corn-minn, over on 44 fla-utah, wake -31.
  11. your latte art is looking pretty good these days, dutch. no one asked but i am 2.5 years into the rocket mozzafiato and i still love it. fabulous machine.
  12. sorry, didn't realize there was anything longcatting. firefox doesn't actually display twitter shit. edited ot.
  13. also, i can't believe i wasted 3 minutes of my life looking into the author of those grifter books for simps. he's a real piece of work.
  14. *brouhaha. a charter school? i don't know anything about colorado schools and whether or not the vanguard school is in the same vein as a charter school in texas but it hails itself as a school of choice. seems like an overreaction to me. despite that flag being symbolically misappropriated by lunatics (including unapologetically racist shitheads) in the last decade, it is not something that, in and of itself, should necessitate suspension of a student. that's a fairly absurd position.

    Fun collection.
  16. That freaking sucks. They were awesome. Great post modern ambient music.
  17. Won’t be able to do anything musical for the rest of the week but I did slide in some paradiddles, seven strokes, and Swiss army triplets for about 20 mins tonight. No Morello or Art Blakey.
  18. I tried that…didn’t go so well. ohchaucer already scolded me for it.
  19. me listening to myself yesterday afternoon (starting at 5:15): anyone else listening to me yesterday afternoon:
  20. would love to. i have to be in portland, maine for something soon and just wanted to confirm that wouldn't be an opportunity.
  21. yeah, i recognize that going from hitting youth coach pitch to facing justin verlander is a bit of a jump but one of my biggest challenges in music is patience. and i will sometimes use a mount everest as a good way to keep me patient...meaning, i know i can't do this but if i am making progress, it will get better each time and i will see it/hear it/feel it. playing something like take five feels like a good way to check in on progress for myself. but it is not...it is too ambitious...that's not a check in. that's a discourager. i need to find something else that's not achievable in my current state but is eventually which i'm not sure morello is unless i dedicate my life to it which i'm not. fwiw, i did do ten mins of flams to start. i can't help but wonder what it takes to get my legs and arms to work independently enough to play polyrhythms like that...particularly on a 5/4ths time sig. crazy.
  22. Nuge, are you in Portland, Oregon?
  23. So I did like a 2.5 hour session yesterday because my wife and kids were busy with some stuff out of the house all afternoon. I spent the first 2:15 playing along with a variety of pop and indie rock songs with fairly basic 4/4 time and some easier fills. Reasonably slow tempos like something in the way, etc. Towards the end I was like “fuck yeah man, I got this stuff. I’m making really good progress and don’t just sound like complete beginner shit.” so I decided I was ready to take on Joe Morello and Take Five by Brubeck. Gave up after about 90 seconds and thought seriously about selling the kit for ten minutes. I don’t know what it takes to get to a point where you can jump to true polyrhythm playing but I’m pretty sure I never will.
  24. as for suggesting prompts, no particular story jumps to mind but i would love it if we could do one at some point through this that requires a non-4/4 time signature. maybe 5/4 or something to force me to do it.
  25. i had to wrap this up a little early due to restraints on time this week. i did not do a songwriter submission on this one but instead, "scored the scene" per my typical style of composition. i will take a swing a songwriting in next month's prompt. i effectively envisioned the last half hour or so of rust's effort...descending through the thick clouds over moscow with a sense of peacefulness building up to a dramatic climax touching down despite expectations. but instead of it being from rust's perspective, it is from some unsuspecting person on the ground's. the early chords are intended and choir are supposed to connote a very eastern european feel...someone minding their business being miserable in the ussr. then the tremolo violin starts to build, representing the flutter of the engine and plane piercing through the cloud deck and catching the attention of our bystander's perspective...all the way down to the triumphant landing...with a small epilogue of "oh shit, we are still in russia after all the excitement." this was obviously done in logic...primarily with spitfire audio's bbc symphony orchestra. anyway, paul said we could do inside the box and this story just screamed dramatic scoring sound to me. i'll put my bob dylan hat on next month. regardless, here it is... looking forward to hearing everyone else's submissions next week.
