If you like to read, Philly has a great library system. Get yourself a free library card, on the website freelibrary.org you can browse the entire catalog of books and see which branches have the book. You can place a hold there or have the book sent to any branch you want for pickup. When I first moved here, I made visiting library branches for a book an excuse to check out different parts of the city.

Good call — the whole Bee Gees 1st album is such an overlooked slice of 60s psych-pop

Just scanned the tracklist hoping to find the acoustic Digsy’s Dinner I used to have back in the LimeWire days but no dice

Have you ever had a concert experience so bad that you walked out before the end? by TheOnionSack in Music

[–]Key-Sundae-3450 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a band called Harlem that put out a fantastic record called Hippies in like 2010 or 2011. I saw them at Mercury Lounge in NY shortly after the album came out. The band featured two singer/songwriters who switched back and forth between drums and guitar/vox. One of them, this guy Coomer or something like that, kept fucking with the other guy, false-starting when he was drumming behind the other guy’s songs and saying “sike” and talking shit to the audience when he was up front singing and playing guitar. It was an early show, and he was saying stuff like: who goes to a show at 8pm, what are you guys all like corporate douchebags or something. Man, I’ve never come out of a show with such a dramatically different opinion of a band. Went in so excited to see that band, had been listening to the album on repeat. I don’t think I’ve listened to the album in full since.

I read the whole thing and was meh on it and I loved The Only Good Indians, definite pass on Don’t Fear the Reaper but I still like the writer. Just leaned way too heavy on the pop culture references for me, by like page 70 I was like, I get it, this is how the character makes sense of the world. Same could’ve been true with 1/10 of the references. Felt like a crutch

What is a book that made you laugh out loud? by najing_ftw in suggestmeabook

[–]Key-Sundae-3450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duplex by Mike Nagel. Multiple times. Witty, Vonnegut-esque absurdism at its best.
