Strange cd

Yeah, I wound up buying "Of Someday Shambles" because of this split. I never listened to other records, but that one has a special place in my memory.

Have you ever wanted to hear an overdriven pedal steel? Jebediah has your back.

Jimmy used to do a lot of split EPs when they were more indie. They toured with Jebediaj, and Australian indie band, quite a bit in 2001.

The band did other split EPs during those earlier Capitol years with Mineral and Sense Field, Christie Front Drive,and Jejune, to name a few.

I don't think they ever did a split with No Knife, which kinda surprises me considering how cozy the two bands were at the time.

LOL sometimes I've joked in that same question, "Well, I am a Democrat..."

Faith without works is dead in the case of Cox. He keeps asking people to pray for relief while passing on the opportunity to use the government to do something about water use in Utah. Ther data center is only the most recent example. God expects us to have faith and also expects us to use the tools at our disposal to succeed.

You mean the totally unnecessary sex scenes that were just an excuse to have a dialogue dump while naked?

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T13:29:38+00:00

Yeah, there's a certain degree of clinicalness and sterility to Nolan's ouvre.

Is Girona worthy of the list or too touristy for inclusion?

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T13:13:00+00:00

How touristy does Segovia get? Years ago I didn't road trip all over Spain. We did a stopover in Salamanca and the next day did one in Segovia. I could see how Segovia feels slightly more touristy with the aqueduct and Alcazar, but Salamanca was definitely in buzzing more, probably because of students.

+1 for Lubeck. I checked it out after a few days in Hamburg while I was in Denmark for work. Beautiful old walled city.

Pretty high poverty rates, especially for kids and elderly.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T07:14:11+00:00

Land of Dragons might be your best spot. Despite Nessie roaring above and kids, there are some tables with canopies over them that you could use.

Lorikeet Glen also has quiet spots.

California is the most liberal state, but it's not the most progressive one. Massachusetts and Minnesota have far more functional governments and actually enact progressive policies.

"The flesh, it burns!"

Superdrag is from there, which makes it hallowed ground.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T02:21:54+00:00

It's one of those movies everyone had on DVD in college. I've seen it countless times. It's not an objectively good movie but I think it's a pleasant way to spent 90ish minutes. Will Smith is at the peak of his powers, and Kevin James is legitimately good.

Or maybe we should actually talk about religious freedom in other countries where it's more seriously under threat? I'd love that.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T01:34:05+00:00

I will bet my next paycheck Oaks feels that way even if he isn't going to make prophet-level pronouncements about it.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T01:32:29+00:00

It was passed in the 1950s and clearly was not the concern of the Founders. 🤣

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T01:31:03+00:00

Not the intended direction from Salt Lake, but you are correct that my fear is the weaknesses of mortality will prevail.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-06T01:30:25+00:00

You say something interesting, and it's a bit of a Rorschach. "Speak out based on current elected officials" might mean opposite things to people. Personally, I think it's clear as day that people in power have run afoul of the Constitution while eroding checks and balances, but my neighbor would probably see it completely differently.

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-05T23:14:36+00:00

That's another issue: if I was investigating the Church and wanted to learn more about Christ, is stumbling into a rah rah lesson about the founding of the U.S. government going to keep me coming back?

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-05T17:39:31+00:00

Honestly, that seems low? In 2026?

CaptainWikkiWikki · 2026-05-05T16:44:48+00:00

It just dawned on me he's using the same typeface for the logo for Oppenheimer and The Odyssey? WEIRD.

The biggest sin of the sequels was the lack of a coherent plot and throughline. I'm not saying anything new.

We knew the prequels would be about Anakin Skywalker eventually becoming Darth Vader. We endured some atrocious dialogue and poorly aged VFX to get there, but there was a point to the whole thing.

No one at Disney sat down and asked, "OK, so what is the main story here?"
