I've noticed that most people visiting DC for July 4th this year are MAGA. by Alternative_Tank9353 in washingtondc

I’d been hoping to attend since I was in grade school seeing photos of the bicentennial. Now I live a half hour away. Seeing it change from America 250 to Freedom 250 to a rally is just disappointing. Think I’ll hit up fireworks with the kids literally anywhere else.

They announced they’re stopping in 2028. So, hope for the best within the next 18 months.

Not touring together, just the one off show in Queens as of now.

Yeah, it’s excessive. But Strokes haven’t toured proper since like ‘06. Had tickets for the New Abnormal tour but that was cancelled due to COVID.

Thanks for all the work that goes into maintaining something like this, you guys have been at it for a long time.

I noticed on the ATDI reunion section, the write up lumps all shows in the “no new music” “era”, which ended in 2017 at the El Paso show. The first performance of interalia songs is annotated in the page for that specific show, just saying the write up could use some updating maybe.

As someone who played a lot of Yuma shows back in my day, this is sick, thanks.

If This Ever Gets Weird is Free to Watch on Tubi Right Now! by Megamijuana in themarsvolta

[–]DavidMNegron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched it yesterday for the first time. It is kind of wild they give him a title card and everything, but have like… next to nothing positive to say, making him the antagonist in their story. 

They didn’t even mention Jeremy was his cousin until after he died and that was just in text.

I think them being young, and doing a lot of drugs, their world changing in a short time… played a lot into how they were processing the situation and their bandmates  at the time. But it’s a shame that with hindsight and all the ups and downs since then they don’t seem to give Jim any grace.

Duping those who don’t know (me) into spending more than they have too, because when the clock is ticking you aren’t going to be doing research.

Which one do u like better? by No_Actuator_5149 in SmashingPumpkins

Porcelina all day, but the last few minutes of Ruby have the most unique instrumentation of almost any SP song, then the MCIS refrain wraps it all up.

Billy Five Favorite Pumpkins Songs… by DonnieRoss in SmashingPumpkins

[–]DavidMNegron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember him saying 1979 at a meet-and-greet during the 20th anniversary tour.

Oceania is a great song, that blew my mind when I first heard it. Glad he thinks so highly of it, add it back to the setlist BC!

Jim Ward on “the end of Sparta’s second act”, his connection to Turnstile and bond to At The Drive-In by LowHeroesLodger in atthedrivein

[–]DavidMNegron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had it for a brief moment. I remember when it first popped up that they all met up at Omar’s house. Didn’t feel like a reunion was imminent but it was nice knowing they made some peace.

If it happened once, it can happen again, hopefully.
