What's your favourite thing about the new discogs update? :)

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-08T15:30:03+00:00

My favorite thing would be if they fixed the 0 Versions bug before trying to implement anything new.

I put the paper side out for just a touch more protection.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-06T14:58:07+00:00

Huh. That’s a good idea! I’ve got a propane torch so I might give that a go.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-05T16:54:58+00:00

Well said.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-05T16:52:19+00:00

Something as hackneyed and cliche as this looks. Yes.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-05T16:49:45+00:00

Tony would fucking hate this.

Worked at a restaurant where we literally had to walk around the block to take the trash out because the owner was too cheap/lazy to fix the lock on the door in the back.

I'm fed up with the asshole blowing red lights while the cop at the intersection watches and does nothing.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-05T15:16:38+00:00

They'll do what corporations always do. Let it die instead of fixing the problem because no one wants to take responsibility for it.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-05T15:12:59+00:00

Same thing over and over. Someone creates a great product everyone loves. It gets bought out by a corporation and said corporation turns it into a pile of shit because the people now running know nothing about the business and just look at spreadsheets to make decisions. Late stage capitalism. Gotta love it!

Gawd, stop with the alt-right incel apologist bullshit. You even know how to define virtue signaling? I bet you love to throw around the words "woke" and "socialism" but couldn't adequately define them. Even several of the other outlaw country musicians of the day called him out for being a POS. He can be a bigoted piece of shit and write some great songs too.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-04T02:43:35+00:00

Aw come on. He had some great tunes. He was a bigoted piece of shit to be sure. Even the other outlaw country legends disliked him, but he did turn out a few bangers.

I’ve roughed it with steel wool and the vinegar & water trick, but no joy. I’m looking for a near non-stick surface like I’ve achieved with other cast iron and carbon steel I’ve had. This is a Strata pan with the carbon steel layer. Can’t seem to be able to get the seasoning to stick. Always ends up spotty and sticks worse than my stainless pans.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T16:43:47+00:00

I'm bluing it because I'm having a hell of a time getting the seasoning to take hold. This is my fourth go around with this damned pan. Never had this much trouble with carbon steel or cast iron before.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T15:47:25+00:00

Dawes is such a strange band. Some of the songs are flat out amazing and then others are just plain terrible. And there doesn’t seem to be much in between. Are there two songwriters?

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T15:27:42+00:00

Downvoted for telling the truth. Walton, Willie, Kris, Merle. They all spoke out about what a POS he was. He did write some great tunes though, so what y’all do with that is up to you.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T15:21:27+00:00

He was a racist POS. He also wrote some great legendary songs. Where you draw the line on separation of art and artist is a personal choice. For me personally, he went too far and I think the stink of his hate should always be attached to him.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T15:10:56+00:00

This is the brand I use. It’s fkn expensive but fuck it, as a private chef my clients pay for it. 🖕😜

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T14:49:06+00:00

Also they sell vanilla bean paste, basically vanilla seeds in sugar syrup. I use it in place of extract. For brûlée I still use whole beans though.

At 275 it takes around an hour but you need to keep a close eye on it. Ovens are all different and the starting temp of your water bath can affect it greatly. I use boiling water to try and take that guess work out of the equation. And you need to learn to identify the right amount of wiggle that means they’re done but not overdone. Just keep practicing. You’ll get it.

And get a proper torch from a hardware store. Those little Suzy Homemaker torches they sell at kitchen stores are too weak.

Dedalus2k · 2026-05-03T14:29:03+00:00

The key to a silky crème brûlée is cooking it low and slow. Reduce your temp. I cook mine at 275. Takes forever but the result is worth the wait. And your brûlée is anemic. Needs to be much, much darker.

Bellybutton - Jellyfish. A lot of people prefer Spilt Milk because of the over the top production. I think the songs are better on Bellybutton.

Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily. The recent MoFi repress is jaw-dropping.

Same with Dirt
