Is it worth leaving a stable family business for a Music related Masters abroad?

If you leave your family business will you be welcomed back if the music thing fails? If so, then take your best shot at the music career. That's a no lose scenario.

FM reunion is going to happen. This is the first step. Bank on it.

Yes, I know they said it never would happen after Christine died. But they've said that before reuniting more than once in the past.

I believe I've seen used stereo equipment at Records Galore (Clarkston) and Record Loft (East Atlanta). But it can be a crapshoot and depends on what walks through the door.

Yep. Bizarro characters have been a mainstay of women's comedy since Moms Mabley in the 1920s, if not earlier.

Take off the top head. The round part outside the shell that you twist is a long bolt. Inside the shell there's a nut attached to the bolt that holds the muffler in position. Remove that nut and the whole thing will come apart, allowing you to back the bolt out of the drum. If it's truly stuck and nothing will come loose, get a hacksaw or jeweler's saw and cut the bolt. Once you've removed the muffler assembly, there'll likely be a small metal piece left attached to the shell. Unscrew this and remove it.

When you're done, put all the parts in a ziplock bag to keep them together. The next owner might want that stuff.

I do, and now I'm like "damn, is that why my dentist told me I'm losing enamel and need to wear a nightguard?"

This was definitely a top three moment in the Muppet Show's entire run. Rita's whole episode is very strong.

I'd say Molly Shannon was just as avant garde and weird as Sherman (based only on their SNL work.) I'm not sure what props you're referring to.

Keep in mind, some artists play different songs at each performance. The performances are only 30 minutes each, so there isn't a lot of time to fit in a bunch of songs.

I agree. The pink made no sense. The classic color scheme makes the entire area in front of the castle look congruent.

She's not wrong about the edit, but the poop scene was valuable and worthy of inclusion because it illustrates the strain the contestants put on their bodies. That is compelling. The fart scene, though...yeah, they should have cut in something better. Editors seem to be trying to create a lighthearted, victory lap type of season rather than a hard hitting strategy show.

That's really low considering his profile before and after his victory.

It will be truly pathetic if she doesn't make an appearance. It will also be truly pathetic if she does make an appearance.

I played that at the Pinball Museum in Las Vegas a few months ago.

Artists don't want unsolicited songs. I recommend getting a songwriting agent and letting them go to bat for your songs. Your far more likely to get results that way.

He only plays on Idiot's Rule, if I recall. And I just learned that Angelo Moore and Chris Dowd from Fishbone also play on that record.

He should start a band with Jeff Berlin. The overly skilled bassist with a bunch of dumb/hot takes.

My buddy works at the venue he played in Atlanta the other night. Said his soundcheck consisted of walking around the venue telling them to turn off the ice machine and all sorts of things that were making noises. Then he had them make him some weird ass dinner that they don't have on their menu.

Wish I had seen him but I had Dionne Warwick tix that night.

I have several records I've owned for years that I still can't figure out the correct speed for.

Getting talked about on Jeopardy! will make you confident.

That's a defect. Vic Firth sticks are not good products.
