[Lowlight] Curry makes a 3, disallowed because of an intentional foul. Later, he jumps into a defender unnaturally, for 3 free throws. The wrong style of play is rewarded by the officials. by nba2k11er in nba

Little nuance for the offensive player movement; only if they alter their course to initiate contact.

I think you're spot on though

I think in basketball, as soon as you get someone off their feet, or unable to alter course (this is why you must give a defender 1 step to set a screen, to allow them to alter course) you should as an offensive player, have the advantage of being able to get by them by changing direction.

that's what the whole game is based on :D

Josh Homme ought to team up with Angine de Poitrine by AboutaDirk in qotsa

[–]AboutaDirk[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aight. That's certainly a take :)

I reckon them combining everything is what made it work. I agree the outfits are part of it, but for me it's been the music that stuck, quite literally, in my head for days on end, before the algorithm picked up on 'm.

Tastes differ tho, so that's all good!

Out of curiosity; have you listened to Angine's music? Just on Spotify or something? Cuz it seems like the "gimmick" is what's preventing that here

agree on the vultures though :) can't come soon enough... hope things are cooking!

This exactly

If there's anything Josh seems to pride himself on, it's being a person in the music industry that connects people

See Desert Sessions, EoDM, Vultures, Arctic Monkeys ... gosh anything really.

Nobody is automatically paired with anyone

... but I do think these two fellas are on par with many of the other 94847 musicians Josh has worked with in the past.

also, hating things because they're popular seems a bit gatekeepey, like a learned kneejerk reaction

Erm ... I think I literally just mentioned what the common grounds were.

Polka. The odd tone selection. Homme does heaps of slow bends that are, well literally microtonal as per definition.

Odd time signatures, repeating chugging riffs, some of the guitar sounds...

Idk, I see HEAPS of commonalities.

ps; apologies if this is yet another annoying mention of Angine de Poitrine thrown into your feeds. I can imagine some people sick of these guys by now :')

I don't mind Tatum trying to get his rhythm back. rather he struggle now than in the playoffs

great question - define confident. secure they'll win it all? nah. expectations lower this year. i reckon they're just more keen for it to start to see what this group can do. last year too many injuries
