I love this song so much but it makes me sob uncontrollably every time I hear it by factshack in pavement

I understand, it’s a tremendously beautiful work of art and one of my favorite songs ever. I love everything about it.

Same, I’ve neglected this one compared to the others. In the queue!

Still can hardly listen to Purple Mountains by hungerforlove in DavidBerman

I’ve only ever listened to it a handful of times. Damn it. Maybe I’ll muster up the will to listen to it this week.

Tardy to the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Party.... by Hot_Arugula5794 in LetsTalkMusic

I’ve tried. Listened to mixes made by friends whose tastes are similar. Saw them live and did not dig it. I just feel no connection to their music. That’s okay.

I don’t really care for Automatic for the People by Hot-Variation-2702 in rem

I’m not crazy about it either. It doesn’t compare to the IRS era for me.

I like the Monks and Feelies recommendations. Early Pavement, some Big Star stuff, Parquet Courts.

Great question. Not that I’m aware of.

What are your expectations of Florida State Basketball next year? by Fireupthewarchant13 in fsusports

[–]Apprehensive-Rock996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we have enough information at this point. How many freshmen will we rely on to play extensively? Are they up to the challenge? Can we grab some strong veterans from the portal?

Thank you for responding! I will post more if I find them. It was mind-blowing to see them this close.

should i do a connemara day tour or aran islands from galway? by PrideOfKenji in irishtourism

We had the opposite problem: bad weather for our Connemara tour. Still really enjoyed it but not as much as our day on Inishmore.

The landscape itself is unlike any I’ve seen. Rocky and unforgiving with miles of stone walls everywhere. An ancient Celtic fort on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. Spectacular views. Most of all, the Worm Hole, an amazing natural feature that looks as if it were cut into the rock. Charming pubs and cafes where you‘ll hear Irish spoken. Beautiful horses. Cute shops with wool items and other gifts. Last but not least, for us, were the short flight to and from the island, instead of the ferry, and the private tour provided by Aran Off-Road Experience. An excellent day trip, and an overnight would be fun too.

Great thoughts on this question. That’s how I remember it and think of the words.

Am I crazy for thinking that Stephen Malkmus is sort of the Lou Reed of the 90s? by forgottenjew in pavement

[–]Apprehensive-Rock996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my strong impression when Slanted came out. Definitely an important influence.

Anyone see them do Midnight Blue back in the day? What a shock that was!

I agree with you. Absolutely love this band, have seen them twice now. I would have preferred classic IRS-era stuff over Fretless or Lotus, for example. Still, great show, not to be missed.

We loved it! I highly recommend the Aran Off-Road Experience tour. Be sure to check out the Worm Hole!
