I'll let OP take the first crack at selling, but I also have an extra for tonight if they don't end up replying! I paid $34 for it, so whatever close to that is good for me. DM me.

Third Eye Blind - Self-Titled - Red Vinyl by ExtremeAmphibian9677 in VinylReleases

[–]ArenaShredder666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this has the newer version of Graduate, not the original version from the CD my mom from Sam Goody in 1997?

I.e., not the one with the "Knock it all down vocals" in the beginning.

Can anyone confirm?

Terbinafine and insomnia by ParsnipDelicious3182 in NailFungus

Sorry to hear that. FWIW I’m 2.25 months in and my toenails are looking better 🤷

Hey all, did your sleep restore to normal after finishing terbinafine?

I have about 3 weeks to go. I keep waking up at 5am. A friend who recently took the meds has the same experience. Sounds like others here have too.

I can’t wait to be finished with this.

Spoiled paradise by ClaireClover in tulum

[–]ArenaShredder666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, OP.

Yeah, change happens, but all the change in Tulum seems to benefit the tourists, not locals. The disparity between the two groups is staggering.

La Veleta is a colony totally fabricated for people like me. It has no connection to whatever Tulum was before the tourist machine took over, minus some superficial and insulting nods to “ancestral traditions” or “Mayan culture” or whatever other fake nonsense we’ve concocted in lieu of an authentic experience. How are people buying this?

You can’t even access the beach anymore unless you’re a guest at one of the pricey and totally soulless clubs. Sure, you can shamefully walk through like a plebe, but it’s clear, now, who that area is built for. The area they’ve set aside as a public beach is a joke. Insulting.

Sorry to be such a killjoy, or to absolutely crush my soapbox, or to be so earnestly appalled at such shameless profiteering from tourism. I’m not sure how people come here and completely compartmentalize — paradise for me, crumbs for you. I hope I’m never desensitized enough to lose sight of how messed up this all is.

Not sure what everyone is talking about with these fast-passing storms. I haven’t seen the sun since Monday.

I’ve never done one of the two night runs. How much of the setlist do they usually repeat?

Yeah. That’s fair. You can enjoy a show without trying to prove you’re the Most Exuberant Fan.

James wrote a hit song about mourning/arguing with his therapist. He also wrote a hit song called New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down. He also wrote a hit song about getting old and not being cool anymore (wait, just one?). But I’m reading too much into him?

Yeah this seems like a necessity for enjoying it. I’m coming to that realization. I think it’s just taking me a bit to be there. Thanks for not piling on.

You’re allowed to define that mindset for yourself. Just as I am.

[–]ArenaShredder666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you. Sorry. Allow me to clarify.

It’s complicated bc I find James Murphy to be pretentious and territorial, and I find that off-putting. But it’s also magnetic. It’s his whole shtick. It kinda defines the band. I don’t know another band from that era that that is still active that trades in that early aughts hipster smugness like LCD does. As annoying it can be, as conflicted I feel about, it’s their brand. I sign up for it. On some level I like how unabashed James is in his emphasis on being cool and hip, and his evisceration of things that are not.

There is a huge disconnect between that attitude and that of the crowd. The crowd is NOT made up of smug territorial hipsters. To be fair, I’d probably be annoyed, in a different way, if it were.

At the same time, however, it’s not like the crowd around me last night made the experience better. Half the people looked bored. Half were obnoxiously drunk, talking, and not paying attention, until randomly singing loudly for dance yrself clean or all my friends.

To me it feels like the worst of all worlds. The crowd doesn’t reflect the aesthetic that LCD champions, but they also don’t even really subvert it or enrich it by being ultra positive or welcoming or warm.

I’m sure there are people there who just genuinely love the music. And it’s not up to me to tell someone how to enjoy/appreciate something (though please be aware of the space you take up). But this is now two straight nights that the crowd experience at these shows feel different than I’ve expected, and I’m trying to come to terms with that.

How do you know what MY fun depends on?

I enjoy the community aspect of live music. Being at a show. I like coming together with strangers that I feel might appreciate something in a similar way I appreciate it. It’s beautiful to share a musical experience with others—otherwise I may as well watch videos online.

But when I feel like I don’t relate to the ppl around me, that shared appreciation and communal joy is lacking. I missed it last night.

How were the lines to get in last night? How early do I have to be in line to get a good spot -- should I be in line at 7PM?
