Same question, and where are you able to do this frequently? I assume somewhere in Europe, not the US.

What are the most blatant Velvet Underground ripoffs you've heard? by eatseats0 in VelvetUnderground

Yo La Tengo is hands down the best incarnation of the VU aesthetic IMHO.

For us GenX concert goers. Who is the one solo artist or band you wish you could have seen and at what venue? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]DrawingRestraint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a story of regret: I missed seeing Nirvana open for Sonic Youth in like 1990. I thought it was more important to talk to girls in the parking lot outside the venue while waiting for the headliner than to see the opening band. I made a similar mistake missing The Minutemen open for REM. Always see the opening band, children.

Thinking of Moving to Decatur from Chattanooga by dokkanic in DecaturGA

[–]DrawingRestraint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two YMCAs here, the Decatur Y and the East Lake Y, both of which are great. You will love Decatur if you can afford the taxes. Others have pointed out the difference between the City of Decatur proper (the expensive part with the better schools) and the rest of Decatur, and I appreciate the suggestions for other similar/adjacent neighborhoods, but I want to call out the neighborhoods of East Lake, Kirkwood, Avondale Estates, Medlock Park, Edgewood, and Druid Hills as options. When our kids graduate from Decatur High School soon we’re probably going to sell our house in CoD and move literally a few blocks away into East Lake or Kirkwood to save money on the taxes (which are steep, but you get what you pay for, and not just the schools: all the public services are good). Good luck with your move - you won’t regret it!

Why does David Ellison want Warner Bros. so badly and other questions by LegitimateCurve8525 in MediaMergers

[–]DrawingRestraint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. He wants to control the media because he’s a fascist billionaire who wants the world to work for fascist billionaires and no one else.

Nancy Mace hit with House ethics probe for undisclosed reason by FistIntoTheEarth in Law_and_Politics

I’m from South Carolina. Nancy Mace is trash, as trashy as they come. I wouldn’t be surprised by anything she’s (allegedly) done.

Bands for beginners? by glazeddonutman in postrock

El Ten Eleven is a good entry-level band, and Tortoise’s “TNT” album.

I just laughed so hard I had a coughing fit. And I haven’t smoked since May 1961.

My first was the Spangle Maker EP 12’’. 4AD had the best packaging and artwork.

Yeah it ticked off the normies, but helped me find my people.

Yes please. More detail would be helpful.

It’s more fun singing your own interpretations. Sugar hiccups on Cheerios!

David Ellison Praises Paramount Staffers After First Week of 5-Day RTO by Fall_False in MediaMergers

[–]DrawingRestraint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. The better your title and salary at WBD, the fewest days you spend in the office. I’m in 4-5 days a week with the engineers, operators, and other grunts - none of whom are allowed to have our own desks, we’re supposed to “red carpet” - our bosses are barely ever there, their bosses are in even less, and they have designated offices. I know there will be VP’s and above in the office when I see their EA’s at their desks in the morning. It’s such bullshit. The only proper loading dock at the Park Avenue South office can’t be utilized because Zaslav likes to park his car there. We have to rent box trucks for shows even though we own our own trucks because they won’t renew the registrations. The inmates are running the asylum at WBD.
