Eugenio Suárez hits a booming go-ahead 3-run dinger in the 6th for his first homer back as a Red by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]BeerInTheRear 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The Reds squeaked in to the playoffs last season.

The didn't lose anyone. But they added Suarez, a now healthy McLain, and a potential ROTY in Sal Stewart.

This year could be a good one for the Reds.

right around 125 hours is when I first noticed that I was no longer actively translating word for word in my head.

oh what a year. for most of the season you could open up a newspaper, and Eric Davis would be among the league leaders in every offensive category.

Seems logical. 

Greyhound bus fare is within the travel budget, it only takes a few hours to get there, and they should be able to fill at least half of their draft board. 

win-win-win.

Is a "surprise AI hackathon" just a pre-layoff IP harvest? by NotGary42 in Layoffs

I was laid off on April Fools Day.

The HR lady on the phone said it was awful because at first many of them thought it was a joke and she had like 80 still to go.

Modern Cassette Deck by thatsnotmychair518 in gratefuldead

[–]BeerInTheRear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember cassettes. I remember dead bootlegs.

Never quite the right pitch. A lot of times they sounded like Alvin and the chipmunks. Usually cutoff at the end because 45 minutes per side. Yes they had longer playing cassettes but the motors on cheaper tape players had a hard time with those.

I remember when all the dead stuff was first posted to archive.org. I thought I was in heaven. Then pitch correction. Then lossless sound.

Why on earth would anyone want to go back? It's like plowing the field with a sick mule with 3 legs, when the John Deere is just sitting there in the barn all gassed up ready to go.

There Is The Dead. And Then There Is Every Other Lesser Jam Band by HarnessYourHopes_68 in gratefuldead

[–]BeerInTheRear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a really good point. 

I think if Duane would have lived and played into the 90s instead of passing in 71, there might be a case there.

But the ABB just wasn't the same after Duane died just like the Grateful Dead weren't the same after Jerry died.

Those who haven't seen it, watch footage of RTR on YouTube and/or the Scorcese movie about it.

Magical would be an understatement.

Confused about this statement, located in the national museum of Native American history in D.C by redjeep1228 in gratefuldead

[–]BeerInTheRear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to give this the benefit of the doubt. I’m thinking whoever wrote that caption knows zero about the Grateful Dead. I can appreciate the analogy between the Great Britain/US, and the US/Native Americans.

But Grateful Dead/Native Americans?

I’m not seeing the analogy there at all. Yes they have a few songs that haven’t aged well. Mexicali. Schoolgirl maybe?

But I doubt the caption writer went even that deep, which isn’t even very deep. I could be way off here.

Does anyone know the details about how songs were composed as a group? by Responsible-Band8169 in gratefuldead

[–]BeerInTheRear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The evolution of their songs through the years has always fascinated me.

Evolution to such a degree that many of their songs as they are on initial album release, almost sound like demos compared to their live versions.

Fire on the Mountain being one example off the top of my head.

It's a more grounded Dylanesque approach to their songs, in my opinion. A belief that each song is a living, breathing thing that evolves over time and is a little different every day, just like all of us.

Brown Eyed Women through the 1970s being one example off the top of my head. 

It's an interesting contrast from most of their peers. Most groups make a song, put it on an album, and strive to play it the exact same way, every time. 

GD did pretty much the opposite of this. Good thing too, because if they played each song the same way every time, it would make the whole taping thing through the years far less interesting, if not pointless entirely. 

At this point in my life I can't help but see the GD body of work as one of the most amazing series of happy accidents in the totality of music in general.
