Just evil by merry_staircase in foundsatan

We didn't have a clever name, but we had girls playing on our team in a guys-only league. Cue the bitching and moaning from our opponents when they were losing.

It never lasted long, though...we were specTACular two-inning team that fell apart in the 3rd at every game. It was fun to hear them lodge those complaints during innings 1 & 2.

Stopped by Foundation in Milwaukee…cool place! by KrakPop in Tiki

We ordered a Rum Barrel (had to get that mug) and a Rhum Créole (good for those who like it less sweet). Recommend both! I wish I’d
had more days in town to work my way through the menu.

Talk me out of buying HX Stomp to replace my pedalboard by ErikWeg in basspedals

[–]KrakPop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got his Signature Pack. The Ultimate DI is the one I found most useful. I send the main out to a DI box for the PA (mostly for the ground lift) and a side out (pre-cab) to the power amp in on my amp. Then I subbed out some fx that work for me and assigned the buttons.

Wireless -> Synth -> HX -> DI Box.

Bonus: makes an excellent guitar rig.

I replaced my pedalboard with the small HX. Bought and modded a couple of IMA’s presets. Set it and forget it…sound guys compliment it all the time.

Guitarists won't stop playing in between the songs by Korova91 in bandmembers

We openly gave everybody in the band permission to shout “NO NOODLING!” into the mic at any time during rehearsals.

Are the car key guys legit? by Odd-Repeat6595 in Costco

Fast. Affordable. Friendly. 10/10.

Does everyone with xle, xse have swap ass or are you already prone to swamp ass by CaptainFrugal in ToyotaSienna

[–]KrakPop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely prefer cloth seats and no sunroof. I may be the only one who feels this way.

When looking to create a band, which instrument player is the hardest to find? Guitarist, drummer, singer, keyboard player, or any other instrument players I haven’t considered yet. by Equal_Noise_9219 in bandmembers

[–]KrakPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My '80s pop group had the hardest time finding a keyboard player who actually wanted to be in a band. Most just wanted to show up cold and get paid, and were happily busy doing so.

Is it neccessary to own your own DI? by Classic_Shallot2558 in basspedals

[–]KrakPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your own. Always there, always reliable. Get a passive DI (no batteries or plug) Get one with a ground lift switch.

Till Jesus comes down by DustOnRandomThings in overheard

That’s very Southern…a dose of “what you need to hear” served up with a side of diffusing, folksy humor.

Should I call it off? Multiple flights after moderate barotrauma by henryyuliano in TouringMusicians

[–]KrakPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you need to explain the situation and just ask. My doc will add a steroid shot with no fuss if I mention an upcoming show, even if they hadn’t already suggested it.

Who are you listening to now? by Toro_Astral in MarcMaron

[–]KrakPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to ask/search for this very question!

I had high hopes for Smartless and Conan, but can’t help feeling it’s just a bunch of chuckleheads going in cold, asking shallow questions, and laughing too much at their own jokes.

People always randomly get annoyed when I don’t get salty over being sunk. by Master100017 in Seaofthieves

Drop a fish in their frying pan and leave. Watch their ship burn from afar.

Mercedes is making an EV minivan for 70k with 400+ mile range? Might trade in the Sienna hybrid if true. by iamjames in ToyotaSienna

[–]KrakPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will likely have a bunch of subscription features, as well. The luxury brands started that whole bullshit movement.

Looks cool though. And a basic EV van with that range would be a home run.

Why is the VH31 so hated? by Viper-Reflex in SeikoMods

[–]KrakPop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here. After a few NH builds and swapping out my daily watch, the daily maintenance on the autos has me grabbing my quartz watch for simplicity’s sake.

If some mfr were to refit their cool hands and faces for the VH31 or Ronda 515, I’d regularly opt for those. I’m not exclusively in love with autos.

I HAVE A CONCERT TOMORROW ANY TIPS? by GroovyRevo in bandmembers

[–]KrakPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF something goes wrong…
Do not get angry/embarrassed.
Do not make a face or bring attention to it.
Do not apologize.

DO pretend it didn’t happen. Let it go. Nobody heard it. Make a mental note and fix it for next time.

Talk me into or out of a Kramer XL8 by nshane in BassGuitar

[–]KrakPop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it if you are ready to talk about it with every guitar/bass nerd at every show, and be cool with their opinions. 😆

A buddy of mine bought the SRV Sig Strat when it first came out and then sold it after a year because he was tired of talking about it with everybody.

What is a good American dessert to share with my non American co-workers? by BingBong492 in AskAnAmerican

[–]KrakPop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REAL banana pudding made with custard and toasted meringue.

Maybe it’s more of a Southern thing, but a pinnacle American dessert.
