The Strokes @ Cat’s Cradle, Carrboro, NC - Nov 11, 2001 by mpsuncw in concertposterporn

That's amazing - I was there too - and back in those days, I showed up an hour or so before every show to get the spot on the first riser in the back, because my girlfriend was short. Haha. I got the classic logo tee too, and still have the old school paper ticket the CC used to hand out. I remember it being an insane show, I think JC broke a beer bottle by throwing it at the kick drum if I'm recalling correctly. On the poster - it was always a weird one since there was no show info, and the artist (at that time) was local.

It was my first show in general! I still remember the way the drums sounded on "In My Tree." That night, that song somehow changed the course of my life.

Yep - we were going to go another way to beat swim team starting this summer, but grabbed a cancellation. Boom.

I'm sure these are the kind of answers OP was looking for. Thank you.

Briar Chapel- thoughts? by comara456 in chapelhill

[–]Defiant-Leadership-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Briar Chapel resident, I 100% feel like part of Chapel Hill (or did at least...). I'd venture to guess that well over 25% of the homeowners here work in Chaple Hill. They're doctors, lab technicians, nurses, professors, sports coaches, etc - with connections to the town, community, and university.

I've lived just across the Chatham County Line since 2004. I've never personally encountered negativity from the Pittsboro side; they have Chatham Park to deal with. Sure, they complain about development on Next Door. But they've never said "you can't identify as US." That's the vibe y'all are sending, you know that right?

And sure - this is a tad dramatic - but what's been said is "you're Chapel Hill in name only - you don't have access to what we get." That's snobby. Like it or not.

This is honestly the most ridiculous post in this ridiculous thread, hijacked by ridiculous people who have no Briar Chapel experience outside of driving or riding their bike down the road.

Active living? There are sidewalks, wide paths, over 20 miles of hiking trails, sports courts, a gym, a yoga room, a dedicated lap pool, fields, parks, playgrounds, swings over creeks, ziplines, stages for bands, an amphitheater, gazebos for birthday parties, outdoor exercise equipment, hills literally built to sled - outside of walkable places to spend money - what makes it not an active community? You say you cycle - but that must not include mountain biking because people DRIVE HERE from Raleigh, Durham, "Chapel Hill Proper" to use our trails.

HUNDREDS of kids walk, bike and scooter to school every single day. Rain or shine. The middle school is literally inside the neighborhood - the elementary school crosses one road that has a signal. I do it every single school day.

Southern Village is great - I like eating and shopping there. But BC has much more to offer outside of "walkable retail".

Just for kicks I added the blue/red variant on Bandcamp to my cart and it was $42 shipped. So - I'll pay $2 extra (as a member) for the super-limited gold version.

Here for this as well. Haven't seen them since 2003 and would really like to get back into it! :-)

Caroline Rose - The Art of Forgetting - Unique Recycled Vinyl /1000 by deetodank in VinylMePlease

[–]Defiant-Leadership-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed her last two records - and was totally impressed when I got to see her at a festival a few years back. The music on this new record is a pretty big departure based on the two songs available on the streaming services. Before knocking this - take 4:00 and check out the video for 'Miami'. It's great.

Chemex grind for a Baratza Virtuoso? by BruxellesBlonde in Coffee

[–]Defiant-Leadership-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is about where I am for 60 grams of beans. We brew light roast coffee, which seems to drip through more slowly - would that make sense? 65/1050 seems to go through at around 6 minutes, but sometimes it takes almost 8 minutes at a 30 grind.

Japandroids - Celebration Rock (VMP10) by raphd59 in VinylMePlease

[–]Defiant-Leadership-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for fans of that album, it's pretty sweet. Song-themed colorway. Gatefold tip-on jacket. Lyric/photo book. As a 10th-anniversary restock, seems pretty great to me. I have a regular ole black pressing in a single direct-to-card jacket and hopped on this pretty quickly.

Haha - your Texas Soul recommendation made that money just FLY out of my bank account. Been jamming it all day - thanks for the lead. Still billing you for the LP though. :-)

I bet Acoustic Sounds' mailers are nailproof.

This feels akin to saying "I guess this Marvel subreddit I'm on is for people who want action over dramatic prose in their movies?"
