  1. I was gonna say alto sax. Why do we need this? And, I don’t hate it in every song and some guys are subtle masters of it, but I generally don’t like the harmonica - at least not as a “lead” in most songs.
  2. Exchange-traded derivatives.
  3. I won’t wade too deep on the previous conversation because I’m a little late and there’s a lot of merit in any of the answers above. But if we are just talking favorites (which I think is the only really fair way to discuss this topic), for me: - Gadd - Purdie - Porcaro - Manu Katche - David King - Chamberlain - Copeland - Chester Thompson - Vinny Bonham, Ringo and Moon all had profound impacts on the evolution of rock and had unbelievable individual creativity. As a drummer, I draw from them as musicians and stylists but not as technicians. Bozzio and Peart, et al. are impressive but every high school band has some dude in his basement who can replicate them; and l, more importantly, their inventiveness ceiling is directly correlated to the proficiency and creativity of their songwriters/bands, whereas the guys listed above help CREATE the sound of their bands and recordings.
  4. So two quick that I’m sure have been covered but I’m going to ask like I’m 5 (side note, I had a procedure under anesthesia earlier so I am a little foggy anyway): 1. If someone does “loan” him the money to cover the amount of a bond or whatever the cash surety would be, does that have to be disclosed? Even if it’s through a shell company or other type of laundering? Or can MSB, just be “oh, I found my checkbook and here you go…. Buy yourself something nice, Donald” and there’s nothing other than the appearance of impropriety (lol, GQP) to dissuade that? 2. If shitbird posts no bond and has no cash out whatever he can of his assets (wildly generalizing), he has to pay taxes on those gains. But if the government says fuck off and begins collecting via asset seizure/forfeiture, who pays the taxes on those transactions? Are they deducted from the asset value as they would if he’d had to sell things off himself? That’s a lot of tax money. And maybe even more relevant for the EJC verdict because she’s not the state.
  5. Same. Doesn’t look square. But cool 14” tom.
  6. Jerry, it's Frank Costanza, Mr. Steinbrenner is here, George is dead, call me back!

    SXSW 2024

    I’m friends with and played off and on for a long time with some of the English Teeth. The guests for their set covering the Replacements you will not want to miss. (I don’t think I’m supposed to say who, but trust me).
  8. I’ll admit I listened to that one album of theirs a few times…. And they were quite good live at ACL around the time they were blowing up. Or maybe that was My Morning Jacket. I’m too old to remember.
  9. Then they became the Kings of Leon and REALLY sucked.

    RIP Bob Heil

    Do you feel like I do? (Sad)
  11. And every single meeting with his so called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away Something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish loch
  12. You just need to look at it from the right angle.
  13. Haven’t watched but I’m about 3/4 through the book and while it isn’t narratively linear like I’d hoped it feels like a series of great insights and snippets from someone who loves Texas but is objective and, obviously, very smart. He gets it and wishes “it” wasn’t so bad in the state and is it’s a well crafted perspective on the ways and degrees that/to which Texas is a national political barometer. PS - god help us.
  14. Plu-um! (Different episode, I know, but I always loved that Morty line).
  15. (Seinfeld sneaker reference) Donald’s gettin’ upset!!! Donald hears the boos!
  16. We need to create some authority to which fellow MAGAts can receive a reward for “turning in” false MAGAts - for RINO-like behavior or for supporting Haley or not weeping over the death of Toby Keith or not having enough bumper stickers or for loving their fellow man, etc etc. Kinda like how the Salem witch trials reached a frenzy or like, you know, how in Texas you can make a citizen’s arrest of someone seeking healthcare that might involve an abortion or whatever the fuck that law is…. Root out and demonize any MAGAt who might dare to still be even slightly normal or decent and empower the meanest, least intelligent of the cult. WALLA! Hilarity and MAGA infighting ensue!
  17. One of my favorite off-hand lines in the whole series. George: Yes, she’s pretty. What difference does it make? Estelle: Okay, I was just curious. Frank(essentially eavesdropping): She’s not pretty?!
  18. I like their individual music better than the actual boygenius stuff but they are great. If Julien Baker ever wants to “switch teams,” I’ll be waiting. No opinion of the guitar other than that seems like an odd band to have a signature guitar for.
  19. Psshh. Like that kind of thing exists. I mean, like, I’m so sure I could just go to such a “market.” Like I could get online and find a site or sites that offer that. It’s laughable! But say I wanted to truly disprove it exists, I’d get online and type in, like, what exactly? If you’re so in the know and smart, like, oh sure, why don’t you tell me (very specifically) where to find this market that totally is made up.
