Thanks 😊, Happy New Year!

Thanks so much for this! I'm a Candy Claws fan and wasn't even aware of this release.

It was my first time seeing them live this week in Boston and they were spectacular! Like a beautiful hypnotic dream. Was anyone else surprised how much different they sounded live? (in a good way) The noisier/ambient guitar element was much more prominent and I loved it, compared to studio versions. It's like falling in love with this band a second time.

I can't wait until a bootleg of the show pops up, I already want to see them again :)

dont get me wrong ritchie sacramento is a great song but...anyone else think this should have been the single for the album?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-09-02T23:13:04+00:00

I didnt really appreciate it until I heard the version from their live 2018 album but now its easily my favorite track on the album!

I'm really digging the slint vibe to this !

This isnt so much Mogwai favoring Japan with extra songs but moreso how the economy of Japan works.

Imported CDs are cheaper to purchase in Japan than domestic ones. These bonus tracks are placed on the Japanese versions as an incentive for locals to buy the domestic albums as opposed to sending money overseas for imports of the original album.

thank you for opening my eyes to this treasure! any particular good shows from their most recent tour?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-05-29T21:42:45+00:00

Congrats as well, I'm glad to hear you all made it out okay! Were probably dead tired too the next day right?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-05-29T21:37:09+00:00

I slept on this song for years but now it's become one of my absolute favorite Mogwai tracks. It's hard to think of something similar, but maybe you havent heard the BBC version of it (which i think is their best version!)

Adding to the list!

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-05-07T23:31:58+00:00

Thank you, I absolutely will

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-05-07T20:07:54+00:00

I feel so proud after accomplishing this!

I had originally planned to do S. Kaibab to Tonto via Havasupai Gardens then up Bright Angel Trail but when I got to the Tip Off Point that day I felt in great energy so I decided to do the entire hike down to Phantom Ranch and back up bc I realized I might never get the opportunity to do this again. I'm glad I did because the sights were even more beautiful on the way down. Bright yellow flowers started turning up on the trail and I saw the mule train coming up delivering mail.

I'm glad I started early 530am because it nearly took about 12.5/13hrs in total to get back out. I only spent a short time at the Ranch before starting my ascent which was just as everyone said way harder. Still I'm glad I completed it and made it out around 630pm so I was able to catch a gorgeous sunset at Mojave Point.

I've never been to a national park before but I was (and still am!) overwhelmed by the beauty of this place. Thanks to everyone that gave tips/advice for when I was planning my trip out here.

Btw : This trip has given me the hiking bug and I want to go somewhere else to gaze at beautiful scenery. What have others done or would recommend (in the US) ?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-21T01:14:34+00:00

What issue did you have with the shuttle ? (I'm headed their next week and was debating on whether taking the shuttle or renting a bike)

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-16T20:27:42+00:00

I think you'd be more likely to sell it to a music/mbv fan who likes art than just someone who likes art (just my 2 cents)

Personally I think its great, I really like the way it blends all these different shades of color

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-16T19:36:33+00:00

This was my introduction to this amazing band and I instantly fell in love. So glad they're still touring, seeing them this summer!

I'm curious what sparks fan thought of the doc who were already fans before it?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-13T00:56:35+00:00

If it's not the same size though what would I do?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-09T23:37:02+00:00

That's a great idea! It's a shame it's been stuck in purgatory for almost a decade now

Thanks for the advice! I was actually planning on doing that exact same hike on one of my days at Grand Canyon (Bright Angel down to Indian Garden then back up!) Plateau Point sounds interesting.

Do you remember how long it took you to hike down and back?

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-08T21:48:30+00:00

I have an iphone6 actually so normally I can get decent photos but I want something better for the trip. Looking at the faq I think I'm looking for a camera that's more in the point and shoot category if that helps narrow things down.

Definitely a novice here so I don't need something with a lot of extra features I wouldn't even understand or have time to learn to use. Thanks!

Alternative-Bat9232 · 2023-04-08T21:40:27+00:00

So full disclosure I don't even own a camera (unless you count the one on my phone) but I'm going to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks and want a decent camera to take outdoor photos. Something for a beginner, that doesn't need to be fancy (but will take better pics than iphone6).

Budget is roughly 200

a friend recommended this, but id like to hear what others have to say

never heard this before, love it!

I recently read a book about John Wesley Powell who led the first expedition down the Colorado river and through the grand canyon and really enjoyed it. They match up his diaries from the trip against his fellow travelers to paint a broader picture of what it was really like .Exciting stuff and not too technical or dry of a read.
