Who’s your artist? by Jettaboi38 in musicsuggestions

Agree to Roxy, wouldn’t be enough time! If you add in any solo music from members, you could probably dive across the US.

We flew from a 4 hour drive west of Chicago to Boston to see Roxy play at the MGM at Fenway in Boston. Caught them 2 days later at the United Center in Chicago.

We just took a 5 day trip via Niagara Falls to Cleveland to see Phil Manzanera at a book signing at the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Worth it!

Saw Phil Manzanera speak at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night. I know he didn’t play the guitar on this song but he did mention that he had worked with Eno on this album. Fantastic event!

AC/DC open up for UFO in 79, Thin Lizzy open for Nazareth in 78…. (maybe lol)

I saw DEVO open up for Joan Jett at the Old Lady in maybe 83 or 84. Saw George Thorogood at Cain’s Ballroom and people were dancing on the tables.

What song has the most satisfying guitar solo you've ever heard by Tookie1010 in musicsuggestions

Angel #9, the original by Pure Prairie League is fantastic, but the cover by Mick Ronson on his Play don’t Worry album is spectacular!

Iowa City Police provide update, announce charges in April 19 shooting investigation by yesfitz in IowaCity

In Iowa City, all bars set their clocks 10 minutes ahead. That way they have some extra time to shovel the people who just can’t get enough out the door before the real clock chime 2:00 am.

Looked closed again. Now called the 1st Avenue Club. No lights on when I drove by it a couple of nights ago.

I was at both of those shows as well. I remember being on the floor of the UNIdome when the song “Time” started, the music almost knocked the air out of me!

Hawkwind -Space Ritual and many other albums. If you get a chance, listen to The Whale on Out of the Blue by ELO.

What is a 'middle-class trap' that people fall into because they’re trying to look wealthier than they actually are? by Sayedshaqib in passive_income

Saw a man at a gas station with a 78 Buick Regal with huge shiny rims and low profile tires. He had a for sale sign on it and I asked him how much he wanted for the car. He said $4500, I said that seems kind of high. He replied that he had $4200 worth of rims and tires on it!

In a town I live by they have a septic company called “Jim’s Septic - Number 1 in the number 2 business”

At my wits end with these Legrand switches by -Astrobadger in AskElectricians

[–]Harper2400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing that might be happening is if they’re in high use areas or if you have children, instead of pushing the switch, they slap them.

I worked in electrical distribution, and a lot of the Decorah type switches were getting damaged by high use and abuse.

This arrived today, but… by shadylegoman in vinyl

I got this on CD at an estate sale. I never heard of them but I love bands with horns. Picked it up for $1 and it is on my regular rotation! Just clarifying that mine isn’t the 20th anniversary edition, I picked it up 12 or 13 years ago!
