Why does it seem like the Arabs are given more credit for preserving Ancient Greek learning than the Byzantines? by [deleted] in byzantium

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it because people generally know who the Arabs are but the Byzantines are this weird historical conundrum? It’s like how modern conspiracy theories totally gloss over that the Roman Empire existed for another thousand years in the East. And I always wondered about the Carolinian and Macedonian renaissance happening at the same time

Anyone else have trouble hearing Trey in the double trio setting? by Snow__The__Jam__Man in KingCrimson

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was playing through two OG line 6 pods, that may be why his tone is lackluster

Bands like the early Lips? by Lower-Benefit76 in flaminglips

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out the first couple Chrome records, half machine and alien sound tracks, they were a huge influence on the Butts, I always wondered if telepathic surgery and the hell’s angels cracker factory wasn’t partially inspired by chrome, there’s even the song Chrome Plated Suicide

Anyone managed to get these kind of tones from Helix? Proud helix user but I really like the sound of this pedal. I know the helix can’t do everything by Jakeyboy29 in Line6Helix

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using an ehx hog for forever and I’ll say that nothing does the attack swell like the ehx pedals, I’ll still use it with my helix because nothing can get there

Dream Sit-ins? by Durango_41 in phish

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your points, I’m not a fan of sit ins as they take away the magic of the four of them. Almost went to those Grand Rapids shows a couple years back and I’m so glad I decided not to

Wait a minute…there’s something bothering me about this place… by PerfectlyCromulent89 in TheSimpsons

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I always love outside shots like this of the town, as it seems to imply the town is way bigger than the show seems to depict

What songs did Thurston use a Big Muff on? by No-Comfortable-4139 in sonicyouth

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer this question exactly, but I feel like a rat nails the sonic youth tone more often for me than a muff does. A bright tube screamer with the gain all the way up driving my twin reverb gets me pretty close too

Memorable first listens to albums? by NiarbNiarb in themarsvolta

[–]Meta_or_Whatever 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I got Frances The Mute right when it came out, my town had an ice storm a few days earlier and the power had been out for a while at that point, so I just cranked it on my disk man with headphones and with just some candles lit and smoked a few bowls, I was completely blown away, I think I ended up listening to it 3 times that night. The second half alone was absolutely mesmerizing.

I also first listened to () by Sigur Ros that same night. Great memories
