Yep, I saw them on that tour and immediately bought their album. 

Everyone needs to check out Prism Bitch right now. They’re the coolest band out there. Their new stuff is great, and their catalogue is deep. Listen to You Got I Want and DAE. They’re the real deal right now.

The Manchurian Candidate was the first B&W movie that made me realize good movies were made in B&W. 

Did everyone see the hour-long fundraiser variety show they did last Friday? It was really what I needed right now, even if it was a little clunky at times.

One possible reason that there are only 3 videos this week is that they did a panel at the 92nd street Y

Adam Ragusea agrees with you in this regard. If you’re not familiar, I would humbly recommend his YouTube channel, which is glorious and a bit nerdy:

But then we’d have to trade all of our beloved despair for smug self-satisfaction, you monster. 

I’ll admit right out that I’ve been on the BA train for a bit longer than y’all, but I think that I agree with most of your scores. The thing that I learned this week was to put the yellowed onion skins in your stock to impart that beautiful golden color. I’ve been insta-pot making my own stock these days, and while…

Fair enough, and I appreciate your reply. Your candor is definitely valid. Everyone loves to be outraged at other people on the internet, but people’s feelings are frequently nuanced and maybe a bit messy, and no one deserves to be dogpiled just for expressing a common feeling, even if it’s not popular. Being…

Hey, I get your frustration as an artist. Finding a toehold in you industry can be rough. I work in the arts, and it’s terribly cutthroat. But trashing an artist because they’re trying something different is a bad look. This kind of experimentation in different mediums has been going on for a long time. Obviously…

Written by Neil frickin Diamond.  That song’s a real jam. 

While I’ve been fighting despair a lot these days, I have hope that he’ll get the nomination and steamroll any of the bullshit that the DNC has been playing against him. But the ratfucking on the left has been pretty bad so far. And the networks really are trying to cover him in a negative light so far, which seems to…

I just did the same thing, replying that we don’t need another oligarch in this election cycle. Screw that guy forever. 

Two pieces of advice: try one of each different person’s videos once to suss out their personalities, and don’t go further back than about 2 years, the vibe is much more “formulaic food videos with garbage canned music” and little individual personality from the cooks. Basically anything before “It’s Alive” sucks,…

Yep, that was the start for me as well. Eventually learned about how a carburetor works. 

My dad was an engineer from small town Georgia, went to Tech to get his degree. Growing up I have vivid memories of us fixing my older sister’s 1970 convertible beetle. Dad in his houndstooth jumpsuit, me handing tools and pointing the flashlight, while he chainsmoked. Best memories of my childhood, and I still feel…

Welcome to the world of the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned the US about. The need of right-to -repair is huge, and the military doesn’t need an extra step in the process. Having well taught technicians should be a priority, and those well-taught technicians could do well after their service. …

Hm, maybe you should check out the site and enjoy the party. It’s not so much that we dumped our girlfriend Deadspin.com as she was murdered by the idiot herb Jim Spanfeller. It’s a major party over there on the biggest sports party weekend of the year, when our favorite sports site is now a corpse.

I’m in charge of running performances in my university’s concert halls, and we have 2 separate Asian groups over the weekend. I gotta be honest, I’m avoiding physical contact with anyone, and wiping every communal surface down with Lysol wipes. One group already cancelled so that they could fly home. I kinda feel bad,…

It was indeed founded by one of the Ringling brothers.
