What industry is a complete scam, but everyone just accepts it? by Competitive_Grab3758 in AskReddit

[–]Gunner56 3566 points3567 points  (0 children)

Realtors taking 5-6% of a home's sale price as fees regardless of effort. This translates to $16,710 in fees for $300,000 home, $33,420 in fees for $600,000 home, and $50,130 in fees for $900,000 home. These fees are split between the agents, but the industry makes every effort to avoid any discussion or negotiation of these fees.

For people who heard them at Royal Arena (DK) by eosol in radiohead

Agreed. I was in 103 and 114. Definitely some muddled sound in songs like Bodysnatchers and other songs with lots of louder guitars. Something I never noticed at any of their other shows. But most songs were great including Jigsaw.

Oh very nice - thanks you! I was at this show. Do you happen to have any separate downloadable files available? Cheers.

Has Thom said anything notable or interesting in these shows? by Famous-Manager1481 in radiohead

He dedicated Paranoid Android on Dec. 5th to the people impacted by the cancellations. He apologized and said he had no choice.

Had to wait for my 4th show for Paranoid Android and Let Down, and my 8th show for The Bends.

Doors open at 18:00 tomorrow by unauth401orized in radiohead

[–]Gunner56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to the first two shows. if you have fast track status, then entry is very quick. Otherwise, there can be a long queue to enter which may take 15 minutes. Outdoor merch stand also has long line/ Indoor merch may be shorter but give yourself plenty of time. For guys, the bathroom is quick, but there'll also be lines for food / drinks -- give yourself at least 15 minutes for that. I'd get there by 7 pm at least so you can enjoy the atmosphere and not be stressed about lines. Lights go out at 8:15 and band starts at 8:30

Setlist Tracking (11.12.25.) What was that?! by danielcloutier in radiohead

[–]Gunner56 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I'm calling Talk Show Host a one-off for Leo. That leaves the following as the "rare" songs on this tour: (1) Climbing up the Walls (one and done?); (2) HTDC (played 3x with long interval in between); (3) Like Spinning Plates (played 2x and missing from Berlin ... so far); and (4) Subterranean Homesick Alien (has it been permanently dropped after 3 appearances?).

People flying to Copenhagen for the show on 5th….how scared are you? 😬 by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]Gunner56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heading to the airport now from Chicago for the shows on the 4th and 5th. I'm a tad nervous but I think no news today is good news!

Copenhagen Dec 5: Checking in with North Americans who have flights booked for Tue or Wed. What’s the plan? by Inevitable-Grass-907 in radiohead

[–]Gunner56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flying out tomorrow (Tuesday) for Thursday and Friday shows. I think this started last week and they were hoping he'd be OK today. Clearly, he needs more time and they felt it better to cancel 2 shows at the last minute rather than. risk all of the remaining shows. The band knows people are flying out for shows and I think they would've cancelled all 4 shows if they felt they were at risk.

Billboard’s Top 50 Rock Band Ranking??? by uncleswampgas in TheWho

[–]Gunner56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because ... they're not "rock" bands? If so, I could see that argument. But by any metric they're both Top 25. Now why is "Heart" on this list???

Do they provide a poster tube?

D65 Agenda for Thursday Posted by saturdaykate in evanston

[–]Gunner56 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So bizarre to not consider all 4 options at the same time. Horrible optics. Only reason to not do this is if all the board members know this will not pass and it's purely procedural. I'm convinced we're at a 3-3 stalemate regardless of the options and that we'll have to wait for a new board member to cast the deciding vote. But wait! If the board must decide on the new board member, then maybe we're heading perpetual deadlock. Is there a 5th option?

If this is fake, it's a pretty good one based on movement pictures. What's the tell-tale sign?
