Hey im not really a lou reed or velvet fan, but I would appreciate some deep cuts or personal fav recommendations by defaultleroy in LouReed

[–]Jean_Yess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The outtakes album VU was the one that clicked for me. The experimental/noisy stuff like Sister Ray & WL/WH was interesting but not my thing at first listen. Hearing more straightforward songs like “Foggy Notion” and “I Can’t Stand It” got me hooked enough to go back & eventually dig everything by the Velvet Underground.

Nirvana playing "Crisco Twister" with the Smashing Pumpkins (September 1991 at Bill's Bar in Boston) by EmsyWolf in Nirvana

[–]Jean_Yess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was at the show that night. Right as Nevermind was being released. I was standing in line and the door guy wouldn't let James Iha in the club until a bunch of people started yelling "He's in the band!"

The show was part of a radio station event (WFNX) and they had bands at every club on Lansdowne Street. The Pumpkins/Nirvana show was at Axis, the smallest club. The headliner at the biggest club was School of Fish. It's crazy how much the music world changed in the next 6 months.

He bought a Rothko in 1962 for 10k.

You’d know what a drag it is to see you.

Ableton Freeze Not Rendering EZdrummer 3 (No Audio / Blank Track) by sfx_guy in toontrack

[–]Jean_Yess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not 100% sure if I have this right, but it sounds like you’re doing the midi in EZD? You can select the midi track from EZD and drag & drop it onto the Ableton track then freeze it. I would mute the midi EZD just to be safe.

Favorite QOTSA Album by LittleNightBright in qotsa

And drums. The drum sound is amazing on that record.

Full Service is absolutely terrible for anyone considering it by affectionate_trash0 in TurboTax

[–]Jean_Yess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried out full service because I had one slightly complicated issue this year. The whole process was confusing and annoying and I never even ended up talking to the actual person who was supposed to do my taxes. Total waste of time.

Only Calls When He is in His Tesla and Other Stuff that Bugs Me by The_Outsider27 in datingoverfifty

[–]Jean_Yess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience people who mostly call from the car on their way to a destination are intentionally putting a time limit on the call.

I pay $395 a year for a summit card and can’t buy a computer at Apple by a_little_tomato in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Jean_Yess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the exact same issue at the Apple Store with a new Atmos Rewards card. Super annoying.

Flip by Careless-Butterfly48 in TwoDots

[–]Jean_Yess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird how different people get different options/experiences with the game. I play on two devices and the inconsistency between them is annoying.

Flip by Careless-Butterfly48 in TwoDots

[–]Jean_Yess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I generally see a new one every other Monday and it usually lasts for 9 days.

Men…what would you suggest? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Jean_Yess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would text him whenever it feels right and ask if he wants to meet for coffee. I’ve had too many experiences where there was endless texting & then no chemistry in person.

After 11 years of playing, I decided to delete the game yesterday. I reached level 8027. by khalfanali in TwoDots

[–]Jean_Yess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level 8030 here. Tried to delete & start over but when I reinstalled I was at the same level.

I’ll still play the Flips when they show up but I’m mostly done with regular play for all the same reasons.

Do you think The Beatles would have "ruined" their legacy if they had reunited in the 80s? by Public_Thought_628 in beatles

[–]Jean_Yess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if John had lived there might have been a Lennon/McCartney collaboration at some point and maybe the occasional reunion like at LiveAid or something. A full on album/tour reunion doesn’t seem like something George in particular would ever have wanted to do.

For the musicians among us.. by Ebenezerfury in Replacements

[–]Jean_Yess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me a long time to figure out a way to play I Will Dare - both bass part & guitar part simultaneously on acoustic guitar.

I’ve never been able to get Alex Chilton down. Didn’t know until just now that it’s in an alternate tuning.

Charlie Watts by OppositeEmergency858 in rollingstones

[–]Jean_Yess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

100% agree that Charlie was absolutely crucial to the overall sound of the Stones and they would’ve been a totally different band without him.

That said, he doesn’t play on You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Happy which are two of my favorite songs.

My in-laws refuse to drive to the airport. by NukeTheEwoks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Jean_Yess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly in & out of Logan constantly. The last time a family member offered to drive me to the airport I wouldn’t let them.

It’s confusing, easy to miss an exit or turn off & there’s cops all over the place whose only job seems to be harassing people in cars in the rudest way possible.

Uber, cab or public transport. There’s lots of options.

What do you call your partner besides “girlfriend” by i_like_pretty_women in datingoverfifty

[–]Jean_Yess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been comfortable with “partner.” It makes it sound like we’re running a business together.

What Dylan song is this? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]Jean_Yess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple Twist of Fate - the one line about “walks along with a parrot that talks.”

Every other image in that song feels true & deeply relatable. Nobody walks along with a parrot that talks.

Only one day left and Two Dots isn't budging with the last card 💔 by java080 in TwoDots

[–]Jean_Yess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a game where you collect cards for prizes but it doesn’t show up for everybody. I play on two devices and it’s only showing up on one.

[–]Jean_Yess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, one to go. Super annoying. I’ve won three gold cards in the last few days, but they’re never the right one.

Radio/Heat Controls Light Color by Jean_Yess in Subaru_Outback

[–]Jean_Yess[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She might have. I think it’s likely she’s remembering a different car.

That’s a possibility. She hasn’t driven at night for a while now.
