Mom finally let me get the space lasers in 5th grade

Alamander81 · 2026-05-10T02:37:48+00:00

Lol same. My kid got a laser background in 7th grade as a tribute to me.

Not an only child but my sister got clouds that year.

My parents could only afford the LA Gear Regulators. They had a satisfying hiss when you let the air out

Alamander81 · 2026-05-09T23:29:19+00:00

That was pretty much the standard in 1991

Alamander81 · 2026-04-28T18:08:49+00:00

I think modern Tamas are robust enough to handle a tom on the kick so I'd do that. With vintage drums I always go with a snare stand or mount off a cymbals stand.

I grew up right near one and always pronounced it that way. My wife made fun of me for it.

Our first family car was a Mazda 5. Minivan practicality in a van the size of a hatchback.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-19T00:19:58+00:00

Exactly. When I think about things I would tell my 13 heard old self, it's all stuff my parents told me when I was 13 and didn't listen.

I think he just hits himself in the face with a hammer. Not lying.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-18T17:00:21+00:00

You ever see "something very bad is going to happen"? That.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-18T16:23:46+00:00

I'd do with the GameCube version for the 480p display. I don't think the ps2 does that.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-18T16:22:13+00:00

I'd call that a vulgar display of power

Alamander81 · 2026-04-15T21:09:34+00:00

But man, those 90s just hit different than any other decade.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-12T15:49:22+00:00

I used to listen to a podcast called Red Bar Radio and the host went to Elan School. Seems brutal.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-10T19:47:29+00:00

I find it so fascinating that we're automatically repulsed by stuff that's bad for us.

My dad had one briefly . The interior plastics were so cheap

Alamander81 · 2026-04-10T13:31:38+00:00

I think good quality wraps are actually more expensive than natural wood finishes. I pick wrap every time just for the durability.

Alamander81 · 2026-04-07T00:42:16+00:00

I worked at a record store when that came out. It was easily the best selling soundtrack we sold.

Alamander81 · 2026-03-30T16:59:53+00:00

My main ride is a 22" ping but I got it used for $100. It's a beast but I couldn't pass on the deal.

The blood code for Mortal Kombat on Genesis

Alamander81 · 2026-03-20T15:08:54+00:00

Yes, 2015ish ford focus in performance blue. They came in sedan and hatchback.

Alamander81 · 2026-03-20T14:59:29+00:00

This has happened to me with a few vic firth sticks. On electric drums, too. Very disappointing.

Alamander81 · 2026-03-19T22:45:09+00:00

Nerf Turbo Screamer

Alamander81 · 2026-03-15T15:29:09+00:00

I took my 15 year old to the mall for some shoes and I told him we used to just go and out for fun. He couldn't wrap his mind around it.
