  1. pretty meta...given that we're talking about people that were willing to risk a horrible death in a pretend submarine with harold hill in order to go look through a piece of glass at the 100 year old remnants of a horrific tragedy at the bottom of the ocean.
  2. mine was not casual. it was very boastful and purposeful...and it was extremely validating. and we are long way from a cycle. no corvettes, no raydog and his thai ladyboys, no abortion, no one telling anyone else they should kill themselves, no mention of hydraulics, and we haven't even gotten close to steering an argument regarding the absurdities of fundamentalist christianity into a metaphysical debate over axiom 3 of godel's ontological argument. that said, we did get a mile long post from brisket and someone used the term "efficientnado" so we are well on our way. but my key takeaways have actually been that 956 revealed to me the best idea i've seen in years...ghost writing this century's confederacy of dunces by aggregating all of wulaw's posts on this site and turning them into a novel.
  3. when you guys talk about 6 inch penises, you mean flaccid, right? because if you guys mean erect, i think i now know why my way too good looking for me wife married me. fuck, now i'm on wulaw's dong database.
  4. i tried to block that out honestly...but riving the top off of an rv from driving into a new england bridge substantially too low for any clearance delivers the ignatius reilly nicely.
  5. i'm just impressed he's finally become self aware (or got a diagnosis) regarding his autism. he flipped the fuck out a few years back when i made my internet diagnosis. but you're exactly correct. if he can successfully weave in his wife's (or possibly ex-wife's?) live-in lesbian sister's journey, i think we are on our way to the ultimate combination of a toole novel, a paul thomas anderson movie, and a jason isbell song. i weep for those people on this board that do not realize an unrestrained wulaw is like having our own secret blend of albert camus and charles bukowski - but with awful spelling and grammar (which honestly enhances it). we are so incredibly lucky.
  6. they have been for a while.

    New Music 2023

    new sigur ros came out on friday. easily the most ambient of their albums. will be a hit with some of their fans and too slow for others.
  8. Peter Gabriel at the O2 in London. Crushed @jimmyjazz’s favorite song about fucking. Red Rain stole the night for me but not unexpected. IMG_4534.mov IMG_4537.mov IMG_4539.mov IMG_4540.mov
  9. He’s the owner and director of tailors but nowhere to be found today…
  10. It is a Norton & Sons kind of day…
  11. Today’s tasks… @G650 @ChiTownDoc
  12. Sigur Ros with the London Contemporary Orchestra last night at Royal Festival Hall. Was incredible. Best setlist I could have possibly hoped for and three hours strong.
  13. it always cracks me up when helobious somehow meanders outside the baseball board on surly and people that never read the baseball get to experience for the first time the clusterfuck of a mind with which he operates...
  14. i google image searched the city and these were the first two images that came up. i'm certain you will enjoy it.
  15. @yoladu and @MC Fresh Breath, sigur ros put out a new single today...first one in a while. turn it up loud and it is really nice. it fits in album wise the most with valtari but it is beautiful and large in sound.
  16. that's good to hear...i have the same shell set in a pewter sparkle on order right now as has been nauseatingly brooded over by me in the drums porn thread.
  17. @wild_turkey, i was talking to someone about sardinia this morning and it made me think of this thread...did you book your trip for september?
  18. I don’t hate any of the versions but John Cale’s version is my favorite amongst them. It may be an emotional imprinting thought as Julian schnabel used it masterfully at the end of the movie Basquiat and it just burrowed in there. I feel like Rufus (is a titty man) Wainright’s version primarily got a lot of life because it was on the Shrek soundtrack. buckley’s version is an arrangement I don’t care for but his vox on it are unmatched.
  19. Well that’s a first….
  20. I just do not understand how 35 is still in the batting lineup.
  21. erroneous approach. when your amp becomes possessed by satan and requires replacement, you start with an original deluxe reverb, move into an original vintage 59 bassman, and then you pay your wife's divorce attorney a bunch of money. this is the way. or just get a very affordable and very solid boss katana amp and enjoy the hell out of playing the guitar, as well as having a lot more money.
  22. had mine done by danny at straight frets on south congress earlier this year and was happy with the outcome.
  23. a big part of it is that it is uptempo at 160 bpm which is just jarring when you are expecting an jason isbell song. also, the overwhelming majority of his songs...particularly his popular ones...are in g. also a and d. save the world is in e. but i will say his voice is noticeably more compressed in save the world than most other tracks. there's not as much depth and color on the tone...and that's a lot of his signature. it is much more of pop music expression of his vox. also a result of master buss compression i suspect. what you are talking about is dynamic range/expression. fwiw, in the liner notes, he says the approach was what would happen if neil young was fronting a paul mccartney song when he was with wings...tying small pieces together to come to a crazy song in sum. he was treading new ground here and i don't think he wanted to seem like he was devaluing the first half of it by overpowering the refrain.
