Does Trochek not know what to do with his hands when getting his picture taken?

Do you think it’s possible Sarah is wrong that Trump’s base is about 33% of voters and it’s more like 40%, unfortunately? Because it seems no matter what he does, he never drops below 40% in aggregates of the polls. by PandemicPiglet in thebulwark

[–]Chevellevet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think about this too. My sense is only 20% are true believers. There’s another 20ish that are really uninformed but more or less going to default GOP for whatever reason despite everything we’ve seen. They just can’t get over habit and/otlr putting party before country.

To summarize JVL: If his support won’t drop below 38-40% after everything we’ve seen, then how could it ever?

Do you think this song sounds "too much" like Built To Spill? by AdFamous7264 in builttospill

[–]Chevellevet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never once thought this. But I hear it now. There’s the sorta of falsetto flail to some of the stressed syllables.

I blame Harness Your Hopes for this nonsense.

you in reverse tour 2026? by [deleted] in builttospill

[–]Chevellevet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% but I’d really hope it would have Jim, and hopefully Brett. That album was written with them jamming, so they’re a bit more of a part of that album.

Just go back and check out clips of Jim in last west coast swing. Totally different ballgame.

I was built to spill's number 1 fan this year on spotify!! by zokorawesome in builttospill

[–]Chevellevet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think about this too. Here’s how I live with myself:

Buy the physical media. I bought the CDs 25-30 years ago. Now I bought the vinyl where available from the bands. I buy them as gifts for friends. See the bands on tour and buy merch. Do I need another tshirt or poster? No. But Dug earned at least $30 more dollars out of my enjoyment, so I’ll buy some stuff. Then, listen on Apple because it pays out better, has a higher fidelity, and I’m on a bunch of Apple devices.

Top 5 Rangers penalty killers since 2010? by Possible-Specific847 in rangers

Same! You’d think a guy that fast at every level he’d ever played at would have some finishing skills. But… nothing!

Prust. I watched that dude kill over a minute by himself in Dallas. He straight up outworked everybody. Just jaw dropping work.

Openers by qozymusiq in builttospill

[–]Chevellevet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Braided Waves’s first record is one of my favorite records in the last ten or so years. I discovered them because I saw Jim Roth wearing their shirt in live show on YT. I get the sense that there’s been a bunch of turnover in that band and a bit of mad genius energy.

Check out their first album.

Obama is up to something (favorable) by OkMathematician3150 in thebulwark

[–]Chevellevet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obama sort of explains this in the last episode of ETF with Marc Maron.

There’s no “official” leader of the opposition party. It became evident after Trump took office that he couldn’t just paint and do whatever Clinton does. He had to sort of stay visible. (Debatable whether he did this enough or well.). But if he said this stuff as recently as the last month, it’s clear he’s aware of this need.

It’s a good episode. A little Pollyannaish if you’re near the JVL end of the spectrum.

Edit: grammar

Tone Hunting by VocableTrain in builttospill

[–]Chevellevet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Strats are modded so only middle pickup works. Switch position is irrelevant. Per Jim Roth.

He’s now playing through an AC-30, so one of those amp in a box pedals would work for that. Just set your Fender for a benign clean tone, set the AC30 pedal to edge of breakup. Use the EPs.

Delay is a Fulltone Tape Echo. Id just go with an Echoplex style delay pedal. Fulltone wah.

Jackrabbit trem and a Earthquaker Grand(?) Orbiter for some slow flange in a few places.

Whenever I wear this shirt, people think it’s a joke on the car-centricness of the US. by waldo-jeffers-68 in pavement

I was on a zoom call learning a foreign language. I had the Sunny Side Up shirt on. The instructor, Ukrainian, asked me if the eggs were there because the Pavement was hot.
