That quote barely makes any sense: B’Tselem strives to end this regime (Israel’s regime). It is the only way forward for both Palestinian and Israeli.
The only way to interpret it is that any remaining Israelis needs to be under Palestinian rule. And they (B’Tselem) thinks that is the way forward for Israelis.
your confusion stems from the regime they are referring to not being the nation of israel...but instead the political regime led by n'yahu and his wing of extremists.
the way you are interpreting it would be the same as interpreting me saying "i want to end the regime of corruption and incompetence led by donald trump from power in the united states" as "i want to end the existence of the united states and mexico should be in charge."

I know they had a trumpet at one point but when I listen to that track I think you're correct.
i thought i was right but i did a deeper dive into the liner notes and recording sessions and i was wrong.
the sax dominates for sure but there is a Bb trumpet in it that hits (and i can hear clearly now) that is in the sustain note at the end of each section (1:20, 2:03, and 3:32).
so i retract what i said, it technically qualifies.

Maybe suicide should be encouraged for certain individuals. "Have you considered fucking off a tad and slitting your own throat and not involving innocent people into your confusion?" It would be a tricky public messaging campaign. "Maybe just kindly fuck off and stab yourself?" It would take awhile to get the wording right.
I feel bad for wishing that guy would have shot him in the foot or the thigh. A little frustrating that the stabber was coherent enough to comply with the threat of a gun being pointed at him. So not a full on blackout rampage of psychotic spiral. What's the line between mental health issues and just being a deranged, vainglorious shithead who deserves a mob beating?

Well, feels like this is all me talking into the void but, that's OK... maybe someone will pick up on a band or two here.
Went to Hot Summer Nights for two nights. One night by myself where I got to see what I wanted and the second night with my wife so I had to filter the bands to see. Case in point... I would have loved to have gone to see Pussy Gillette on Saturday but definitely not someone my wife would want to see. If you like lots of local musicians for free and missed this year's edition of Hot Summer Nights, keep a lookout for HAAM Day in September and Free Week usually in January. Also, here's a link I found on reddit that allows you to sort what is going on around town - https://pushgig.com/
So, here's what I saw...
- Alma Muneca - Empire Control Room - Spanish-language electronic/dance/post-punk music. Singer is a smoke show... vocals were OK but the backing band (two guys on synth and a drummer) were excellent. I think they are playing a show in two weeks with DAIISTAR (strong recommendation on DAIISTAR)
- Semihelix - The 13th Floor - Catchy indie rock trio. Good show and energy. Not a standout per se but I'd see them again.
- Daze - Mohawk (outside) - Shoegaze band from Houston. I love the wall of guitar sounds a shoegaze band can bring. Good show, great light show from the crew at Mohawk. Would see again.
- Geda - Mohawk (inside) - felt like a late 80s EBM show (Electronic Body Music, not Electronic Dance Music) with two silhouttes on stage with their synths playing in front of weird projected images. Liked it but you have to be a fan of the old EBM/Industrial scene to get it, I think.
- Subpar Snatch - The 13th Floor - finally got to see them. Great show! Amazing energy and fire from the band. Would absolutely go see them again.
- Prehuman - Chess Club - Caught the last bit of their set. Like Chess Club as a venue although it is small and always cramped. Anyway, they have more of an up-and-coming shoegaze sound. Seen them four times in various venues over the past year.
- Bartly - Marlow - We were mostly on the patio and at the bar so I didn't get a good feel. Great energy and talent but too many covers for me (I'm not a cover band person. Sorry)
- Cast of Thousands - Empire Control Room - Only caught a couple of songs. Indy rock. There's potential here but feels like they need more work bringing it all together. Just my opinion.
- J'cuuzi - Mohawk (outside) - Y'all... I went in with expectations of a freakish show and it absolutely delivered. Really don't know how to describe them. Here is how they describe themselves, "Avant-garde mutant pop performance group". Yup.
- Jane Leo - The 13th Floor - This was the third time we've seen Jane Leo. They've got a great infections 80's synth sound to me influenced by the likes of Berlin. They're always a solid show.
- Rococo Disco - Stubb's Indoors - Pleasant surprise. Good vibes and crowd with an R&B tinged party sound.
Bands I wished I had seen but could not due to various reasons:
- Queen Serene - couldn't go Thursday. A band I'm always glad to catch. Shoegaze/rock-driven wall of sound. Almost hypnotic to me. A bit noisy. I love it. I did spot them in the audience at one show.
- Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band - Still have not seen them... hear great things about the live shows. Timing is always off for me.
- Daydream Twins - Heard they are a fantastic local shoegaze band
- Font - apparently they had to cancel so had to scratch them off the schedule
- Andrew Cashen and the Disciples of Creation - Great great live show. Caught them at the Drop in earlier in the summer
- Nuclear Daisies - more shoegaze. Apparently was a great show at Mohawk.
- Gus Baldwin and the Sketch - Punk/rock/lots of energy. One day... wife would not have been interested at all
- Mugger - Female-fronted punk band
Subpar Snatch at The 13th Floor:
you aren't. don't think that your additions in this thread don't get read.
i'll admit that our tastes don't exclusively overlap (you have a much higher tolerance for nonsense than me - which is a good thing) but about 10-15% of the stuff you post here leads to me listening to some new stuff so it is appreciated.
also, "subpar snatch" is a pretty fucking awesome name and sounds like it came from a surly "that would make a great band name" post. great band visual. unfortunately, another one that i gave a 20 minute try out to based on top streamed tracks and gonna have to move on. they do seem like they'd be an entertaining live show though.

2nd movement of stravinsky's rite of spring
egmont overture - beethoven
bolero - ravel
shostakovich 7th and 12th symphony
tchaikovsky - fucking everything but symphony 6 is probably best
fountains and pines of rome - respighi (this one will surely draw out all the high school orchestra nerds)
mahler symphony 2 and 5

i just realized you weren't limiting this to pop/rock. if open to all genres, then this thread can basically just be:
1a. everything miles davis did from 1958 to 1970.
1b. everything chet baker did from 1952 to 1965.

misirlou - dick dale (bones, horns, trumpets, tuba)
all you need is love/got to get you into my life/penny lane - beatles (full orchestra brass, flugelhorn)
uptown funk - bruno/ronson (horns)
digital witness - st. vincent (horns)
fake empire - the national (bones, horns, and trumpets)
sledgehammer - pg (trumpets and horns)
born to run - springsteen (i think this one might not work actually - can't remember if it was all sax)
bitch and doo doo doo doo - stones (trumpets)
national anthem - radiohead (horns)
walking on sunshine - katrina and the waves (horns)
the boxer - paul simon (piccolo trumpet)
was going to say just the way you are by billy joel but i'm pretty sure that's all sax, as is baker street. i'm pretty sure picking up the pieces from awb above is also all sax.
everything ever by james brown, chicago, or ew&f.

I know this is the concern for some of you. Do you know why I'm not concerned because 1) we will never agree to the definition of when we get there so we will never get there 2) the free press 3) the courts 4) we've got too many people like you and others who actually believe this is the fight and are fighting it 5) i don't believe that Trump, even with some people like this in his ear, ultimately wants that. (insert all your kilmar abrego retort here)
For all his faults he's a business man who will sell out ANYONE for his image/ buck. In the end he knows being a racist klepto has no end game except being a 3rd world country. So He's doing, right or wrong to you, what he thinks is best for country, which was IN FACT, walking toward economic disaster. its first and always first about the economy. That said he has made his personal social views align with half the country who have anti-left social views. So good for him and those that think like him, i guess. For too long this country has favored social justice issues over simple economics. It didn't have to be either or but in my opinion we took our eye off the ball for dumb shit for too long.
As for Trumps family making money on whatever. IF he's broken the law, prosecute him. IF not why do you care? We haven't done much about how AOC a former bar tender is now worth 20million. The hypocrisy is on both sides.

one of the more amusing things about this circus is the delusion the maga dipshits betray when they all claim they want bondi's head on a pike and to replace her with someone that will release the epstein names...as if bondi is not doing trump's bidding by refusing the release the information in order to clearly protect a guy that was known to have a very close relationship with epstein for decades, is a known piece of shit adulterer who has been found civilly liable for rape and who was convicted of 34 felonies stemming from paying off a porn star that he fucked.
they genuinely don't understand that replacing bondi would not change the outcome because she's not making that call. they truly are that delusional and cannot see the plainest of plain realities slapping them in the face. it's so naked and obvious...and yet, here we are.

i think movies were just more awesome in the 90s than now. it wasn't nostalgia. i knew i was watching greatness at the time. i remember walking out of shawshank and going holy shit. i remember walking out of fargo and going holy shit. i remember walking out of sling blade and going holy shit. i don't really do that any more. i'm no longer the target audience, but i don't think anyone comes out of movies like that any more.

south austin pretty much nailed it. bono truly is insufferable in his need to make it seem like everything he says 100% of the time in every setting and every context is somehow profound and transcendent. it's performative and exhausting as he seemingly has no chill. i genuinely would have no interest in spending any time with him in any setting because my eyes would get exhausted rolling into the back of my head. it is a testament to the other three guys' patience and tolerance that they endured and held it together so long.
i disagree with g650 obviously...edge is undoubtedly an inferior "player" to knopfler, gilmour, etc... but his sonic experimentation with what he can do with the guitar and constantly reinventing it from unforgettable fire through all that you can't leave behind - which while it all seems inevitable now - was amazing. i honestly think of him more as a producer than a guitarist. unlike bono, i would happily spend weeks in a studio with edge messing around with sounds.
moving on from u2...
some other classic intros that i haven't seen or overlooked in here - "voodoo child," "little wing," and "purple haze," "let's go crazy" and the drums on "take me with u," "angel" (massive attack), "carmina burana" (orff), "california love" (very few songs can make you immediately move like that one), "under pressure," "rhythm of the heat" (peter gabriel), "don giovanni" (mozart), "whiter shade of pale," "levee" and "going to california," "upper hand" (pearl jam), "mayonaise" (pumpkins), "block rockin beats" (chemical bros), "play that funky music," "come together," "welcome to the jungle," the underutilized bass only start to "lovely day" (withers), probably doesn't count as an intro since the motif is the whole song but the beginning of "every breath you take" can't be denied, "throw it up" (lil jon), "also sprach zarathustra" (strauss) "let's stay together" (al green), outshined (soundgarden), half the shit by metallica, "crazy train," also s
winner of best intro under three seconds long: "let's get it on" by marvin.

Yeah, but those Mackovic years.
it will never cease to amaze me that texas fans - when pointing to the shittiest football years in history - always point to mackovic instead of mcwilliams. objectively speaking, while the teams were not elite, the 94-96 teams were somewhat fun to watch. mcwilliams was way shittier. way, way shittier. like so shitty that charlie strong's teams were the only ones that were competitively as bad since ww2. even the one decent season in 90 was a complete fucking farce of unbelievably shitty opponents that miami put on full dispaly to cap things off.
but because he was a texas guy (and i guess the gardere outcomes against ou), mcwilliams gets off the hook while everyone points to mackovic. to me, mcwilliams and strong are the co-presidents of the texas football makes you suicidal club. mackovic won the last swc, the first big 12, and was responsible for my favoite horn ever in ricky. mcwilliams got abused by everyone except gary gibbs.
sorry for football'ing (the single shittiest board on this site - kind of like mcwilliams) the cr.
just needed to say that.

Probably not much. I think that song has been a mainstay on the setlists for all of their tours going back to 1987.
for sure he's played it a billion times live but even for him, i suspect it takes a little practicing to get it nailed. if you watch closely in the video i posted, he looks extremely focused and is rocking back and forth to keep his tempo (he never really looked like that the rest of the show...he just walked around the stage completely loose and chill like it was a rock concert) because, as i figured out when i learned to play that riff, that 8th dot delay can really screw up your perceived tempo as you get deeper into it despite the left hand being extremely simple and the right hand not being too terrible.
but then again, i'm me and he's edge so yeah...you're likely right.

Would have posted this one.
The song has been overplayed since its release. But when you see it live, like I did when the band opened with it in Boston in 2015, it's pretty fucking awesome.
I think the Rattle and Hum tour was the best they ever did with it live but it was pretty solid at the sphere a couple of years ago. My seats were last minute so not great but still gives a good idea. I wonder how long Edge has to re-rehearse the riff to get back up to speed whenever they go out
eta: actually, i just remembered the super bowl halftime show right after 9/11 where they did mlk right into it...that was pretty fucking amazing.

pussy gillette- power trio. entertaining for a few songs but then you realize every song sounds the exact same. lead singer's schtick also got a bit tiresome.
i'll be honest, i looked them up to see if there songs were all protest songs against bushy cooch.
it was even worse than that. holy shit, what a shitty lords of acid ripoff.

Great time, had a blast. Thanks to @wild_turkey for the planning assist. Only thing I’d change is to leave the kiddos behind next time. Would definitely recommend Cheval Blanc as a spot to stay.
