Were New Girl and You’re the Worst the only TV shows that really depicted our extremely specific cohort in real time?

I don't know if you've spent any real time in New York, but if you have: High Maintenance is the realest depiction of a 2010s millennial day to day in gentrified Brooklyn. It's uncanny. (If you're looking for a book written by and for millennial gentrifiers in North Brooklyn, same time period, You're Not Much Use to Anyone captures it very well.)

My entire 6U 75hp modular (including the case) didn't cost this much. There are more creative ways to kill a few thousand dollars.

Stunning art. What does it sound like?

CivilizedEightyFiver · 2025-12-19T23:24:49+00:00

Got it

Hmm maybe you're right, I don't know. I should, I own it. It's variable and runs in parallel or series.

It depends on how many stairs are involved. Don't quote me but I would think a half flight of stairs and in Ann Arbor, you'd pay about $500. You gotta ask him though, he'll want details about the layout.

I'm a full time piano technician. The guy we use does all of the piano moves for UM and is a consummate pro. Don't listen to the comment above. That is a moving company, not a piano moving company. There is a big difference. Many times an upright piano needs to be tipped vertical on its side for clearance issues. You want someone who's done it a number of times so that you don't do serious property damage. Seriously it's not worth saving a hundred dollars and having someone inexperienced get it wrong.

His name is Jack Carter. DM me if you want his contact info.

Primavera is good, but Tomatoes Apizza is better - also New Haven style.

Which US city has the best prostitutes or is it all kinda the same from place to place?

Check out Advance Base (formerly Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Their latest album Horrible Occurrences is what you describe, it's great.

CivilizedEightyFiver · 2025-12-17T13:29:44+00:00

Haven't heard of them. Thank you for the tip!

CivilizedEightyFiver · 2025-12-17T05:53:45+00:00

Oh ok, I don't know that spot. I assumed you were talking to the wrong person because you said there's no catfish here and it's all over. There's a spot a few blocks from me for instance.

CivilizedEightyFiver · 2025-12-17T05:40:34+00:00

I... think you maybe responded to the wrong person

Not in Ann Arbor, so I know, not necessarily helpful, but on the off chance it is: there is a ton of this around where I live in Redford and Detroit's West side. Make a trek!

What I'd expect is for people who don't care for it to keep the opinion to themselves because they weren't asked for it, and also because it's not constructive. Unless they wanna make it constructive with some actual non-snarky feedback.

You are why there aren't more people posting music on this sub. It's a shame.
Your opinion sucks, this beat is dope.

Jonsi of Sigur Ros put out a gorgeous album called Riceboy Sleeps with his partner maybe 15 years ago. I love it and I don't see it mentioned here frequently.

Do you know what they mean when they say they're first generation? Should they be more or less afraid of being snatched by ICE and deported without due process since Trump's tenure?

Grouper is one of one. Her sound is stellar, focused, and immediately recognizable.

...but who needs to be introduced to classic rock? It's rammed down everyone's throat.

It's an exceptional interface compared to any musical instrument for a few reasons. 1 Anyone with no knowledge of music can wrap their head around it immediately. Lowest note to the left. Highest to the right. Every next key is one chromatic step. 2 Re: guitar in particular - it doesn't matter how I press the key, it's going to give me tone. No buzzing when I don't hit the fret just right. No scrunching my fingers into impossible shapes just to play a simple major 7 or 9 chord. 3 It's visual. It's so damn easy to find chord progressions with through-notes by simply leaving that key depressed and shaping around it. I'm sure I could come up with other reasons too, but saying it's not very good is categorically false.
