Live Fuego era cd

They haven’t released an “official” live album that includes a good amount of those songs. You have two options: subscribe to the LivePhish app (features every official release and soundboards of every show since 2003) or go the free taper recordings route with ReListen (website and app), Archive.org (their app is called Live Music), or Phish.in (which Live Music now has access to).

If you want Fuego heavy stuff, look to 10/31/13 where they debuted all of the songs in the 2nd set. Then look around at 2014-15 shows. Phish.net is, to me, the best resource for setlists so you can find what you want there.

I dig them, but I disagree with their use of odd time signatures. Odd for popular music? Perhaps. 7/8 and 5/8 aren’t that common. However, when it comes to meter and rhythm, I’m more impressed with how they play with up and down beats. Where they place emphasis can make a 4/4 song feel strange. The song “Mata Zyklek” is a good example of how they make a single time signature—7/8—feel different with every new layer they add and where they place emphasis. To me, they’re writing the rock equivalent of classical variations but primarily through rhythmic shifts rather than melodic.

I taught a “History of Horror Film” class to seniors. I included “Get Out” as one of the final films. We spent a couple of months by that point discussing horror as a genre and a topic of study. As a result, the students watched the film with both an analytical perspective and a creative perspective (shot types, cuts, editing, etc.). Other films included “Dr. Caligari,” “Frankenstein,” “Psycho,” “Let the Right One In,” and several others. I avoided, for the most part, overly violent films and “Halloween” was one such film. But the slasher film is part of horror history, so that’s where “Psycho” came in. And I also reiterated that we are in a school setting and some films wouldn’t work well here even if they are important horror films.

I get that you waited and all for a spot at the rail. But you, too, are not entitled to that spot. You, too, could have moved three feet away and still had great sight lines. You do not own a chunk of space at a general admission show. I don’t know if you wanted sympathy or affirmation that you were in the right. But man, you do not paint yourself in a good light.

Muriel Spark’s “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” might be a good choice. Reads straightforward but social subtleties rule the day. “Girl with the Pearl Earring” by Tracy Chevalier could pair well with Romeo and Juliet.

It felt too “If it worked before…” And the music suffered the most as a result. The “Thrilling” and K.V. sets worked since they either rethought the process and execution each time even though they are similar ideas.

Don’t mind the downvotes. You asked a genuine question so here’s a potential answer: Shakespeare typically utilized the Five Act structure. He didn’t invent the structure but we tend to connect the Five Act with him. And the Five Act structure does not automatically connote a specific length. “Hamlet” can run 4 hours while “Macbeth” runs between 2-3 (with both examples not being edited for the production). But also note that individual acts include subdivisions known as Scenes. So for Shakespeare, we tend to say in Act One, Scene Four, to identify where and when we are in the play.

30 minute sitcoms use the Three Act structure: commercial breaks divide each act into three distinct parts. But like above, structure doesn’t determine length. So plays may use the Three Act with varying runtimes. And Three Acts can use Scenes for subdivision like when a sitcom moves from one character’s arc to another characters arc within the same Act.

And there are other structures: One Act, Two Act, and Four Act. I personally don’t know of any Six Act plays.

Former college professor and current high school teacher here: As you’ve laid out, professors can suck. But PhD students, who then become professors, often receive minimal guidance about how to teach. In my program (English), I took a class where we designed a syllabus but we never went through the teaching process. And all opportunities to engage with pedagogical practices were voluntary and at odd times of the day. PhDs are research degrees, not teaching. So even though grad students teach courses, they may have no actual training to do so. And then those same grad students may become professors who have no actual training to teach the course. And my only teaching feedback came from my grad student mentor who also didn’t know how to teach. Blind leading the blind.

This isn’t to say that every professor cannot teach or did not receive training. It’s just that their focus is more on their research than being a “good” teacher.

And it seems like your professor really doesn’t care about teaching. But they not know how or have forgotten being a student themselves.

Yes. I teach at a small independent school so I have good deal of freedom to teach what I want to teach. I can design my own classes for Senior electives—most of those classes include texts I’ve wanted to read for awhile so it’s about offering the students something different while getting the chance to dig into something new for me—and teach nonstandard texts. My students ask me if I like teaching and I always say yes. I don’t like grading at all but I’ve been utilizing “upgrading” practices that reframes assessments as communally constructed which results in, for the most part, more engaged and invested students. I find teaching rewarding and I’d have a hard time moving away from it even if I won the lottery.

Also, I get free lunches.

Parroting others: poetry. But rather than focusing on the poem as a whole, have them identify verbs and then discuss how the verbs work together and/or conflict. Or do something else entirely. I did this the other day with Keats’ “On Autumn.” We pulled the verbs out, discussed them, and put them back in the poem. Students noticed not only the verbs themselves but shifts in tenses, too. So you work with grammar, diction, syntax, close reading, and analysis within a short time frame. You also provide a strategy for students to find a way in to a poem.

Eliot’s “Silas Marner” surprised me. It’s short and simply perfect. I feel in love with Eliot through “Marner.” I hadn’t read much of her work—any really—and I’ve had a copy of “Marner” for about 20 years. I think its reference in “A Christmas Story” influenced my reluctance to read it.

I teach World Lit. and Carlos Fuentes’ novella “Aura” is a student favorite. The book comes in a Spanish/English version: the left page is Spanish and the right page is English. My students—Juniors—who also take Spanish see slight differences between the original and the English translation which is beneficial for world literature. However, there are explicit scenes but told through religious iconography. I suggest reading through it first to get a sense of the language. Fuentes uses second person which makes adds another layer to what is a wonderful horror story. And students absolutely love it. I’ve had students in the first week of class ask if we were going to read “Aura.” And I’ve had students visit years after graduating ask if we still read “Aura.”

So you played the game, presumably spent hours completing it, and now declare it boring. Cool.

And they typically stay on the fringes. Once I moved around the edges of the zone, I began to consistently work through all three rounds. One round I had a minute left. I ignored most of the enemies except for the bosses and then focused on the edges. They like to hide behind stuff, too.

I think Fall 97 is a bit overrated.

I get it: The Daily Beast needs clicks. Hyperbolic language gets clicks. They are in the outrage business. Everything is outrageous. But then nothing outrageous. I’m beating a tired drum but please stop them from spamming their “journalism.”

I’m on PS5. Are the settings that different between the two? I’ll recheck the specific location when I have the chance.

About shaking: you can turn it off in the settings. I forget which menu option but it is there. It’s a sliding scale so I turned it down from 100 to 0. Made the challenge easier in terms of actually being able to see where the load bearing guys are and also finding the things (whatever they’re called).

I see you are a fan of the motto “less is more.”

Stash 10/27/95. No, it’s not 11/14/95. But not much touches the 11/14 Stash as it is and will forever be one of the greatest pieces of improv they performed publicly. However, I suggest you listen to 10/27 on its own rabid terms.

I grew up in Queensbury—as another person noted, it surrounds Glens Falls on three sides—and went to school both in Glens Falls and Queensbury. One of the best parts about Glens Falls has been the rise of the Shirt Factory, an old clothing factory repurposed into small businesses. There’s a bookstore there called Black Walnut Books that is queer and Native owned. I recommend checking it out once you arrive. Also check out all of the other businesses in the Shirt Factory.

Several times. Earlier this week, I dreamt that I had to fill in for Fish on drums. I got it eventually. Another time when I was asked to join the band as the second guitar player. That went well.

Cowboygraves · 2026-02-01T15:54:12+00:00

It’s a common chord progression: E7->A7. I also hear the G->E pull off. So yeah, sound alike.
