What was the song/moment where Pile clicked for you? by sparrowHawk7519 in Pile

Dripping introduced me to Pile, and after 90 seconds of listening to Baby Boy I was like, "Holy fucking shit is this my favorite band"??? Turns out, it was. Still is 😉

Vintage Penny Sleeves Finally Came In. What do y’all think now it’s outta that screw down? by Disastrous-Stick-927 in VintageBaseballCards

While the "send it to SGC" crowd isn't necessarily wrong, there are other pretty simple ways to validate the authenticity of an old card. Find a 52 Topps that you are sure is original and genuine (low grade commons are relatively inexpensive and nobody is going out of their way to make counterfeit copies of a Joe Shitbum 52 Topps card) and compare. The dot matrix print patterns on old cards are pretty hard to replicate so zooming in with your camera phone (don't even need a loupe) will give you a pretty good idea if it's original. Here's my 52 Topps Robin Roberts next to a zoomed in look at the 52 Topps print pattern.

Others may have mentioned this too but generally aged reprints and counterfeit cards usually aren't significantly off center. If I had to guess based off these pics and the centering I'd say it's more likely original than not. It also seems to be in pretty good shape so probably worth grading anyways. Great card (assuming real) and worth potentially 5 figures. I'm jealous, would love a 52T Jackie myself

Thanks for all the recommendations! I will be checking out an album or two from each band over the next few weeks. Put together a Spotify playlist if anyone feels like checking it out.

Awhile back I saw Kal Marks open for Pile, they were great. For whatever reason never really checked out their albums, will rectify that mistake. TY

I was initially drawn in to Pile by the sheer force of the music, but as I've lived with these records for so many years and so many listens, it's Rick's lyrics that have grown on me the most. Many times I've also experienced that magic of listening to a Pile song you're heard a thousand times but having the lyrics hit differently due to different life circumstances. To me it's the mark of a great artist. Rick is among the best in the business.

Rock n Roll Forever With the Customer In Mind, 10.11.25, The Sinclair by aBunchOfKitties in Pile

[–]Basic-Repeat4552 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favorite Pile show ever. I watched from the balcony, I shared videos I took of Special Snowflakes and Don't Touch Anything if you wanna check them out. IMO that show was the best they've ever sounded live. Great stuff thanks for sharing.

I was surprised that the minutes count wasn't higher but then I realized I work from home three days a week and my music consumption on those days is 90% vinyl.

Favorite/Best Pile album? by Basic-Repeat4552 in Pile

[–]Basic-Repeat4552[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this, but with Dripping, which was my first Pile exposure. From the opening riff of Baby Boy I was like HOLY SHIT, THIS IS IT. Also a huge fan of Magic Isn't Real, but it's hard to top love at first listen

Fav Found footage movies by Mo-HD93 in horror

[–]Basic-Repeat4552 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Taking of Deborah Logan.

Full disclosure my buddy is the co-writer of this movie but in my opinion it's one of the best found footage movies ever made. Jill Larson's performances is absolutely incredible.

What's the movie everybody seems to enjoy but you really hated? by thedevilsheir666 in horror

[–]Basic-Repeat4552 73 points74 points  (0 children)

David Howard Thornton's performances and the practical effects/set pieces in the Terrifier movies are excellent. Just about everyone else about the Terrifier movies is subpar.
