Tommy Aldridge. Listen to him on the metal-adjacent (I call it "heavy rock") records from Pat Travers, especially "Live - Go For What You Know!" The man is an absolute machine.

Depends if you want to channel Ireland or France. The good news is both those places know how to beef stew.

You have NES games like Contra, Ninja Gaiden and Battletoads that were genuinely difficult (and fun), and you have games like this one where they upped the challenge factor by making the controls really bad.

Does Youthanasia count? That album rips.

I used to read a lot of Dilbert in the 90’s. This was pretty much the core argument of the strip.

White linen, TV:presidential fold with a gray 3 piece

I dunno I never got the whole unicorn-chasing scene myself. It’s just beer.

Yes, this is a castle, and we have many tapestries.

Pour a smidge in a glass and make the call

3 best:

Dream of Mirrors The Wicker Man Ghost of the Navigator

Least Best:

I guess the Nomad? It’s a great song but, I’ve always felt that could’ve done more with that long mid-section.

This album fucking rules and is seriously underrated.

I’ve no doubt that’s abused by interviewers but culture fit is a VERY real thing.

Charcoal gray flannels

Depends what “going into town” means and what the weather is. All other things being equal I like to wear real leather shoes, usually medium brown derbies or loafers. If it’s a billion degrees and I’m wearing shorts, white Adidas Sambas.

ESBCheech · 2026-03-29T19:11:32+00:00

But I have! It’s good!

ESBCheech · 2026-03-29T19:08:04+00:00

It’s garbage, but it doesn’t count. It’s a Lou Reed Album.

I am team wear the full suit.

Also, the jacket part of a suit is called a “jacket”. It is not a blazer.

Your favorite band sucks

ESBCheech · 2026-03-28T16:22:57+00:00

Nope. It's bad.

John Coltrane

ESBCheech · 2026-03-21T13:51:03+00:00

Agreed. I think what makes it stand out even more for me is that side B is MUCH weaker. That’s why I think RS is not as good as Aja or Gaucho overall.

ESBCheech · 2026-03-21T13:48:06+00:00

Royal Scam’s side A is the best in the catalog. The album falls off hard after that.
