  1. musk /məsk/ noun 1. a strong-smelling reddish-brown substance which is secreted by the male musk deer for scent-marking and is an important ingredient in perfumery. 2. a person who exhibits qualities far beyond douchiness; a level of cringe not seen before in human history
  2. Yes. Quinn needs to walk into Miami camp without his family, agent or QB trainer being a major influence anymore. Blank slate, start from scratch with McDaniel and the Dolphin coaching staff.
  3. When we had Baghdad Bob, every American - no matter their political affiliation - would laugh and shake their head at the ridiculous Iraqi propaganda. Some form of "how fucking pathetic is this?" probably ran through most people's minds. Now, half our country sticks their head in the sand when it's happening on our own soil.
  4. Some good news (for now)
  5. I think it's simple as this: What does Quinn Ewers do well?
  6. I find it very fitting that one of the greatest head coaches of all time - a ornery, stubborn, and demanding figure leading a team full of athletic warriors - ended up being manipulated and controlled by a young piece of pussy. It's so funny, unless she kills him. Which is on the table.
  7. Yes, Quinn's cool and calm demeanor had its place, but Arch will bring a fire that will ignite this offense IMO.
  8. Everything is eroding. Everything.
  9. I don't care what the return is, just trade him.
  10. What a pathetic performance by that ABC journalist. You have one shot at meeting/talking to him and just cower the minute Trump starts getting aggressive. Can't get over how spineless people have become.
  11. Thinking we can just go back to the pre-Trump era of political strategy is very foolish and needs to stop.
  12. Just casually crushing Black Like Me backstage. Jesus, his voice.
  13. Can't argue with either of those. Both incredible. I think I'd need to make a Top 10-20 list to gather all the songs that I could consider my favorite.
  14. That's the way I used to feel too. But after listening to all their discography again, I think I made the mistake of feeling nostalgia for older stuff. I still love Series of Sneaks, Girls Can Tell, Kill the Moonlight, Gimme Fiction, and Ga X5. Lots of great memories associated with all those records. Getting older, becoming a father, etc., I didn't pay enough attention to their last 3 records. Now that I've done a deep dive, I realize how huge the addition of Alex Fischel has been for the band. They did Divine Fits together, and I'm pretty sure Britt has welcomed Alex to the songwriting process for the band. It has opened up their sound so much. More groove, more urgency (how is that even possible, lol) and the arrangements are fantastic. Big fan of Gerardo Larios as well, his understated guitar work is excellent. A couple of live highlights with Alex: This performance of Knock Knock Knock blows away the album version: A huge addition on keys as well:
  15. I said before and during the season it'd be ideal to play it out with current roster and make the big decisions this offseason. Didn't expect to get the #2 seed, so this series so far is a big disappointment. But the future is still very bright, and Jalen's play in this series confirms we need to trade him. We had to see how this team would react to playoff basketball. Now we know and the front office can confidently make the necessary moves.
  16. Current MGM odds for UNC to win national championship next year: +12500 My odds for this woman eventually killing Bill Belichick: +475
  17. Need the young guys to trust their instincts a bit more and not overthink. We are the underdogs at this point. Take a deep breath and just go play.
  18. I definitely agree with that, but I'd wager a lot of people didn't even give them a chance because of the name. People are stupid. My personal confession: when I first heard their band name, my brain associated it with 'Spoonman' by Soundgarden, and I lazily assumed it was a similar sound.
  19. I didn't listen to Transference very much due to the relatively poor reviews as I didn't want to be disappointed. I think people had lofty expectations after Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and Britt & Co. decided to throw a curveball with Transference. Listening to it now, I really like the album. This is a fucking jam.
  20. I'm convinced there are two things that kept them from making it big. 1. The band name Spoon. It just kinda sucks. 2. Britt Daniel is not classically handsome in a post-MTV world. Send them in a time machine to the 70s and they would have been huge.

    Spoon

    Figured it was time to have an all-encompassing thread for what I believe is the greatest American rock band of the last 30 years. Particularly on a Texas message board. I've been diving into their last 3 albums (They Want My Soul, Hot Thoughts, Lucifer on the Sofa) recently and realized the band is better than ever. IMO their current lineup is their best, the production is impeccable, and the songwriting keeps getting more interesting. Anyways, some videos. All of their KEXP performances are great. Love watching the current lineup casually crush "Fitted Shirt".
