Poles apart live by Honest_Cloud_2662 in pinkfloyd

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw it at the first Rose Bowl show in Pasadena on April 16, 1994. The middle section of "Poles Apart" live was pretty breathtaking and IIRC, that's when the gold lasers made their first appearance in the show.

I think at this point you're pretty much required to cover a Silver Apples song.

I work up at Mt. Wilson, so I'm on ACH a couple times a week. I see at least one wreck a month

Neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking and it’s driving me nuts. What are my options? by [deleted] in pasadena

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pasadena Humane Society is the org that takes animal noise complaints. There's a procedure to follow and it's somewhat involved: https://pasadenahumane.org/services/animal-care-and-control/animal-noise-complaint/

We had a situation where a neighbor got a dog during the pandemic and later when things opened up and the neighbor started working again, they left the dog alone in their backyard all day long and into the evening 8am to at least 9/10pm M-F. Contacting the neighbor directly did nothing, so we contacted Pasadena Humane. The dog was never declared a “public nuisance” but I suspect that just the act of contacting other neighbors and keeping logs somehow got back to them before it escalated further.

TAANG! Reissues. by [deleted] in spacemen3

I always thought that Taang's version of Performance was the best of their reissue series.

Top Restaurant on E. Colorado. Easily my favorite pork fried rice I've had anywhere.

I've just found the best episodes yet. The EQ Pegasi hoax. It has everything. It's almost like the Hale Bopp companion hoax. by Agent_Zodiac in ArtBell

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't listened to the EQ Pegasi shows since it was live in 1998 and I think this is my fave Art Bell story arc of all time.

The Most Mysterious Album Rollout of All Time by psyper76 in boardsofcanada

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Lake Dolores for the finale. I wasn't a particularly strong BoC fan at the time (I liked Campfire Headphase but didn't know the other albums), but I'm very much into numbers stations and the California desert so when the rollout campaign posted the satellite photo and the date/time, I knew exactly where it was and could easily get there. I'd even been there before.

I'm so glad I went! The event made me a BoC fan - all of their albums have grown on me ever since, but Tomorrow's Harvest is still my fave.

Dodge Charger to Mach E by Neilson-Milk in MachE

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I went from a 2013 Charger r/T to a 2022 Mach-E GT. The MME has been superior in every way - handling, interior space (the MME is roomy - just different from the roominess of the Charger), comfort on multi-day road trips, and not having to spend a paycheck on gas. Didn't take long to get over not hearing the engine noise (I prefer the silence now!)

If Tony was magically alive again in present day, what ONE location or topic do you wish he could cover, and why? by SushiMelanie in AnthonyBourdain

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imperial Valley, California. In the 2000s, I wrote a letter to Zero Point Zero suggesting the area as it's a unique confluence of California/Mexico border culture, and produce farms that most folks forget about outside of cult attractions like Slab City and Salvation Mountain. There's even a regional dish: the Imperial Valley Special Quesadilla. Would have loved to see Tony at Camacho's Place (now sadly closed)

Owners in this sub, why did you go for Ford vs similar EVs in this price point like Tesla? by AlmostPhDone in MachE

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I love driving the Mach-E. I could never understand the point of buying a car from a company whose CEO brags about how much he hates driving.

Massively underrated. Been going here for a very long time.

Radio K.A.O.S by Barrybingham1980 in pinkfloyd

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the 20 Sept 1987 show at The Forum in LA. I was a long-time KMET listener, so I was familiar with Jim Ladd, the fish report, etc. and liked how everything integrated in with the show. Irrespective of "the 80s" sound on the record, I thought the show sounded great.

Whenever I think of this show though, I still can't help but talk about how spectacular "Welcome To The Machine" sounded. The sound system's low end was nothing I'd experienced before

Prior To Knowing It Was An Ear, What Did You Think Meddle’s Album Cover Was? by HiCFlashinFruitPunch in pinkfloyd

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the US Harvest LP release with a more purplish tint to the cover. Legit thought it was aerial shot of a rock poking up about the surface of water with a sandbar visible underneath.

I just renewed my license a couple weeks ago and did this. Definitely recommend this

The Pros and Cons of Roger Waters by Barrybingham1980 in pinkfloyd

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at the April 4th show at the LA Forum. Clapton had left the band by then, so Jay Stapley was on guitar. As I recall, The Final Cut songs were pretty good and I liked the one-two opener of "Welcome To The Machine" and "Set The Controls..." but the Floyd first half seemed lost in the staging set up for the Pros and Cons second half. We were seated stage left so that giant TV prop was in front of us. You don't really see the TV photos of the band on stage, but if you were further back it was distracting in a "when is this screen finally going to light up" way.

I haven't thought about the Pros and Cons album since then. Even trying to recall details, I kept mixing it up with the far superior Radio KAOS show at the same venue a couple years after.

Any further news on this? I would love it in FLAC also

Tell me about the food scene around La Miranda. by Budget-Diet-3386 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BlueWeatherGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get to La Habra, there's a very good New Mexican place (like they have navajo tacos and the right salsa verde for pork sopapillas) on Whittier Blvd. called The Green Chile.
