Really need to avoid 4, 5, or 8 so we can avoid Stanford until finals.

Any websites you guys recommend for buying resale tickets? Landing in London on Sunday morning and would like to check out the City @ Fulham game. Possibly the Brighton at Spurs game (if Spurs win Europa).
i used stubhub for ucl city and real madrid game and had no issues thought it was a hassle to get the dude's card. i remain of the opinion that doing hospitality (particularly at those two places where the teams suck) is your best, easiest option and a cool way to see the game.
here's fulham:

here's tottenham:
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/tickets/premium-experiences/matchday-options/
both have availability for sunday for pretty good prices. spurs especially have some sweet ass seats available. i did hospitality for arsenal-chelsea derby last fall at stamford and the experiences were nice but the seats fucking sucked.

i will say that the little things that annoy me about rogan are similar to the two preceding posts but the weekly releases instead of binging takes that edge off completely for me. show has been hilarious imo.
and, of course, i'd like to thank sal sapperstein.

The only thing I know for certain when it comes to the subjective tastes of other goobers providing their asinine opinions over what drummer is the best like they have fuck all insight to offer whatsoever is that you made the absolute right call in deleting that post. I can only assume you were in the midst of a very heavy trip when you linked that fucking video…which made me want to never think about music again.
a name that is being overlooked so far in this thread is Carter Beauford. In my scenario I described earlier of constructing a session ensemble, he would be next after Danny.

i've really enjoyed playing it. i find the action to be perfect for me and the tone is plenty mellow relative to my taylor which is much brighter (and the action is a little high for my taste). it's like playing a telecaster neck vs. a les paul neck to me. anyway, enjoying it.
oh, and it is so light. so, so light. love it.

Why do people refer to a metric ton when they're trying to emphasize the enormity of something? I mean, sure, a metric ton is a little more than a regular ton. 1000 kg is about 2,200 lbs, while a regular ton is 2,000 lbs. So a metric ton weighs about 10% more than a regular ton. That's more, of course, but it hardly seems worthy of such breathless enthusiasm. You're basically saying, "ZOMG! It's so big, it's roughly 10% larger than a regular ton!" Which seems pretty anticlimactic, really.
Now, if a metric fuckton is something like, I don't know, 37,000 lbs, then I could see the desire to use that particular measurement as emphasis for size.
Oh and back on topic, WTF is wrong with you, Austin?
It is an interesting function of linguistics…and English in particular. It is because four or five syllables in a cadence for some reason carries a weight with it that promotes emphasis. It weighs a ton does not connote the same type of interesting emphasis as it weighs a metric fuckton. You don’t get a lyrical cadence in the former so it sounds less exceptional. It is the same reason for the proliferation of white people using the term “literally” in front of any type of single syllable direct object for the purpose of emphasis instead of the proper use of the term (ironic). I am literally dead connotes so much more emphasis than I am dead.
Anyway. Humans are weird.

on the topic of hi-fi, much like everything else in this world, it is all headed towards being one fucking company.
samsung, who owns harman, purchased sound united for $350 million. sound united is marantz, bowers & wilkins, denon, polk, definitive. now those will be under the samsung's roof with jbl, akg, arcam, revel, mark levinson.
bose bought mcintosh just a few months back as well.
oh well.

I didn't know "Paki" was a slur. TIL.
To the guy who didn't believe India jets were shot down. Pakistan now says it’s downed five Indian jets (Delhi reportedly cedes at least three have “crashed”), and the two are now trading artillery along Kashmir. So that's fun, with nuclear foes starting to skirmish.
Pushes can become shoves and shoves can become punches and punches can become an all-out brawl. That's the concern, not that there is a little dust up right now.
either you have not spent time in england or you haven't seen the movie "bend it like beckham."
also...west wing nailed it.

How about a turrrrrrrible pic snapped when I took a quick break after hooking the speakers up?
Took a while for the receiver to arrive. Cheap-ass Sony DVD/CD player is what I'm currently using to play CDs. All in all, there's plenty of juice for this small room.
After this pic was taken, I found an old Paradigm sub in a box in the garage, so I'm gonna hook that up next once I find the damn cable. It should help with the lows that the KEFs just can't reach.
Not sure what I'll do when I add a turntable. I typically don't want the 'table on the same surface as speakers. Might try it just see if there's an issue, and buy stands if there is a problem with the turntable being affected by vibrations from the speakers.
beauties. very nice. I would get stands myself just to widen the soundstage a bit anyway (though i may be totally misreading the size of the room). though if you upgraded your isolation pad game just a little bit, putting the turntable on top would not be an issue at all. particularly if you connect a sub that isn't on the table and let it handle everything below 80hz.

depends. are you my wife or insurance carrier? i think you have to tell me if you are.
on that note, i love them so much. i would reflexively kill every single person in austin except my wife and kids to protect them and ensure their happiness (the monitors).

judy has always been my favorite character but this season, she was the whole show for me.
you say it, i'll suck it, fuck it, much it, or punch it. i do not understand how they get a single scene filmed with edi patterson. i would die every time.

Man that takes me back to the 90s.
i have to say, i find it incredibly fascinating that most of the music that jimmy throws out there that i have never heard of but sometimes dig always in some way takes me back to his favorite band of all time...garbage.
i think a psychologist could have a real field day with that one...

I'm not very dialed in, but I know these kids. My daughter used to be their drummer, and now their new drummer is her roommate (among others). Kinda psych-ey grunge-y rock, there's some songwriting talent there. I really like the saturated 'verbed out sound.
that second song is a legit banger. really enjoyed that one as well as the slow tempo third song. i will seek these guys out...thanks, jimmy. the rest of the songs sound really nice too.
that bass player is pure stage presence...lol. in my perfect world, that lead singer gives him a chance and changes his entire essence forever. that whole band is so mismatched in terms of stage presence...that girl gets to carry all the water.
eta: lol, their top songs on the streamers is "greg abbott's maxi pad."

Sorry for the threadshit, but this should be titled "Favorite rock drummers right now". It's so fucking annoying seeing people argue on who is the "best".
If people post their favorites it will allow all of us to be introduced to different drummers/styles. I want to discover something, not read another Danny Carey blowbang.
i wonder if justin baldoni plays the drums.

Switzerland Thread?
in Food and Travel
Posted
You really can't go wrong. Interlaken or Luzern as a base is ideal imo but obviously St. Moritz, Zermatt, etc... are great as well. You have a good plan. Zurich is time wasted in Switzerland.
Don't sleep on Italian Switzerland. Specifically the town of Lugano is really, really great. A little mini version of Lake Como (that's like 5 minutes from actual Lake Como).
