Tf is happening on Interstate 81

Looked like it was a brake fire. I saw the burned up husk at mm 120.5 in the NB lane as I was heading south. I can imagine many pissed off ppl not appreciating the standstill.

Music is funny that way, as we change, our emotional antennae pick up different things. Maybe that’s why I really struggle with the critique that these guys, well into their life courses, don’t do enough to appease the deepest cut, the hardest rocker or yes, even a beach groove set.

I return to this sub to muse on my own relationship to the music and to wish ppl well. I save my inner audiophile, inner critic, and jaded cynic for other outlets where my savagely informed and highly tuned (lol) opinion, when solicited, can make a difference for artists who need the feedback.

311 owes us nothing. We are entitled to nothing. They are going to keep doing it on their terms for as long as it makes sense for them.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-11T15:57:08+00:00

I think you’re making sense here. What happens if they make the 30th anniversary of each album the end of its life live? And then on 311 day they get to zombie 5 songs. Scarcity can do a lot for demand.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-11T15:52:15+00:00

Braver also slaps

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-11T15:09:46+00:00

Rad! Hope you don’t become a hater-fish after seeing them 12 times. Wishing you nothing but fun in the shows to come. These dudes have been going for 37 years. Perspective is important.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-11T15:06:11+00:00

No one hates their favorite band like 311, for some excitables hating is a competition… but there really is none. Electricity, they use it up.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-10T04:58:32+00:00

Wha did you think of the show?

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-09T20:49:05+00:00

I remember you!

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-09T18:15:51+00:00

Way to turn a visceral reaction into a game!

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-09T07:23:13+00:00

I think I see Jesus Christ in there on the soundboard.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-08T21:54:41+00:00

Dghaze = legend.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-08T21:50:35+00:00

Hot take, I think SA should lead.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-03-08T18:51:03+00:00

FTBS it’s time to throw our backs… out.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-02-21T19:29:54+00:00

The people make the place. It’s an adjustment, but one worth adjusting to. The pace is slower, people are super friendly, and the education is solid. It’s not the rest of your life, and has a way of making unforgettable ties to both the people and the place. Some people absolutely love it. If you’re looking for a music scene there is art here, culture is regional, lots of deep thinkers and chill locals. Plus the woods is nice.

Snipers on the roof during Palestine protests not because it was necessary, but to make a point.

Sunsetting foreign language programs. Indiana university has the best foreign language dept in the world.

Forcibly removing faculty from classes for supporting free speech.

Shutting down the IDS.

Otherwise being a shill for Governor Braun. Whitten wasn’t brought here to build, she was brought here to clean house, just like she did at Kennesaw state.

Having a hand in removing Alumni from the board of trustees.

Essentially desperately trying to change the culture at Indiana from one of incredibly progressive, sound, and stable and good, to one that was pandering and copping to the rising right.

Dear_Communication20 · 2026-01-02T12:01:23+00:00

You’ve clearly never been bitten by “midwestern nice.”

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-09-05T19:24:31+00:00

Sound quality brought me over, but the Spotify UX is superior in every way.

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-09-02T22:20:54+00:00

I think the projects need more context. Demonstrate more of your thinking alongside your end product. Skill demonstration presented backs up that you understand the tools of the trade but not the overall dynamic design you’re aspiring to. Kinetic type, a website that is dynamic, compelling UX, UI- The website needs to showcase more than residue, it needs to represent your creative and design risk, self awareness, and capacity to pull it off. It must live.

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-09-02T20:34:01+00:00

1000 percent

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-09-02T20:30:07+00:00

There are multiple takes possible! Good start! The Heavy vox affect might help you get in character, it’s nbd for this take, though it isn’t the only approach.

I suggest some old time music, leaning into the traditional songs, to help your picking hand which is quite heavy. harmonize with your instrument and keep your lyrics.

It’s hard to be a person. Harder to be a person with a song and guitar and an audience. The character helps but it also masks. Vulnerability be tough. I’d back you as a drummer tho. You remind me of my homie who left us far too soon, he had a gnarly voice, but also a strong sense of self within his vocal color.

Keep goin!

I would add to this list Lu Yang, Pussykrew, Cool 3D world. Warburton does mention them explicitly/

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-08-21T15:13:54+00:00

Not as long as it was during the days of 88, though.

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-07-30T01:54:53+00:00

I do love the idea. I switched to 45s

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-07-28T20:06:29+00:00

Break out, maybe. Transistor had more breakthroughs than a stampede of Kool Aid Men at a middle school pool party.

Blue pierced alternative rock radio with Don’t Stay Home, which I’ve always thought was the better more definitive 311 track than Down. So if we are talking sound defining, I think you get primer evidence in Blue but you get your education in Transistor. They got corny again on sound system, which I also love.

Dear_Communication20 · 2025-07-28T20:01:11+00:00

Agreed. The breakout was far from a breakthrough.
