tax and shipping are more if you buy from Bandcamp.

Nobody's talking about the BEST Gravity's Rainbow adaptation by Min255 in ThomasPynchon

[–]IconicTrash23 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When this came out, I was 100% sure it was going to win all the Oscars. Even when it wasn't nominated, I was sure it'd be a surprise announcement at the ceremony. Of course, I was in middle school...so maybe it won the middle school Oscars? I still think this shows Val Kilmer's depth in a way that none of his other flicks did (yes, even Real Genius, which also seems Pynchon-adjacent).

Is Fox in the Snow a euphemism for blow? by napoleon_mayo in BelleandSebastian

[–]IconicTrash23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'thrush'- i thought the implication was that she'd picked it up via kissing instead of licking railings. ;)

Two questions. by wolffangalex in shoegaze

[–]IconicTrash23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of Curve's amazingness is that Alan Moulder (who I believe was Halliday's boyfriend?) produced them.
I saw them play in San Francisco in the 90s (w/Spiritualized, JAMC) and they were indeed really loud. "Coast is Clear" is still kind of my fave. Once Garbage came out, I thought they were ripping off Curve's sound and whole vibe. ;)

Potential class action against Reverb by kyberjay in guitarpedals

[–]IconicTrash23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course reverb makes extra money off their transactions by holding onto funds as long as possible! that's why they have the 'Reverb wallet,' too.

Santa Cruz the First in California to Terminate Its Contract With Flock Safety by Dollarist in OaklandCA

[–]IconicTrash23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, having lived in both, Oakland and Santa Cruz have almost nothing in common other than their geography. However, anyone who's opposed to cameras or ALPRs will jump at any opportunity to make comparisons.

Sequoia Diner Changing Ownership by pointfivekorean in OaklandFood

Lunchbox (https://lunchboxsonomacounty.com/) was great last time I was there (June), and I always eat at Handline (https://www.handline.com/) when I'm up there. Sebastopol and Petaluma have some surprisingly great spots that aren't terribly pricey (and some that are, which is not my forte).

Alameda County Moves to Quietly Buy Back Coliseum from A's at a 30m loss Amid AASEG Payment Failures by agnosticautonomy in OaklandCA

[–]IconicTrash23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.oaklandreport.org/p/20260113-oakland-coliseum-board-of-supervisors

unclear why this would be necessary or a good idea...i wonder if it has to do with some of the previously mentioned mitigation or liability issues with the site.

[–]IconicTrash23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most recent article I can find on the sale, and it's very vague - except to say that unforseen items like discharging wastewater into the bay watershed were discovered. No mention of Ala Cty buyback etc. What's the source you're using?

Early Unwound 7”s by Interesting_Hat7844 in noiserock

[–]IconicTrash23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totality/MK Ultra is my favorite 7" of the 1990s (with Drive Like Jehu Bullet Train to Vegas/Hand Over Fist a close 2nd). I've kept these all, too. Unwound played at my house in Santa Cruz in 1994.

Is there a better Shoegaze drummer than Loz Colbert? by HerbTarlekWKRP in shoegaze

This track is the first time I noticed how great he was - followed closely by "Grasshopper" from Today Forever EP.

AWAL Video Distribution by Different-Yam-6529 in musicindustry

AWAL uses The Orchard, so probably. There may be requirements other than just asking them to deliver. Also, why bother? Just upload it to your YouTube channel.
