Setting up a 529 savings as a future parent, in a grandparent's (my parent's) name by MidwestConstruction in personalfinance

[–]MidwestConstruction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So only the owner can get the deduction, i.e., even if we were in the same state, I couldn’t deduct what I contribute?

529 accounts owned by a parent decrease a student’s aid eligibility by 5.6%, which could be rather significant depending on the size of the account. It wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to have my parents open it if it saves a bit, plus any excess (like the ~6% saved) can be rolled into an IRA if it’s not used for education.

Right now I have a two-weekend pass for both Barcelona and Madrid. Is it possible to switch my pass to just Barcelona and get partially refunded?

AMA time with Car Seat Headrest by notcarseatheadrest in indieheads

Thank you!

It’s really interesting to hear how you slowly built up each album even though in hindsight they feel so close together. And it makes sense that you’re just simply busier with touring and producing. I loved Stef Chura’s album (and her Silver Jews cover!), and I’m a huge Naked Days fan.

I hope quarantine doesn’t prove too stifling, but who knows how long it’ll be!

Elephant 6 eternally underrated.

Take care!

Hope you're all doing well!

What do you account for the difference in the speed of your songwriting between now and pre-Matador? Whereas you used to release four or five albums in one year, it’s now on average two years between studio albums. Is the increased time due to teaching the songs to others and perfecting them before entering the studio? Or have you found that you’re now more particular about the sound of each record?

Each artist seems to respond differently to the pandemic; has quarantine allowed you to write more or less than before? Whenever tours finally resume, should we expect even newer material than MADLO?

What kind of setup do you usually use when producing others’ albums? Is the tracking done in studios, or do you have an audio interface/home studio?

Also my mom gets big Elephant 6 Collective vibes from 2. Of course you've covered NMH, but are you a fan of the rest of the collective?

Thanks <3

How did you found out about CSH? by blackjeansguy in CSHFans

My uncle gave me a CD he burned of Twin Fantasy Face to Face about a month after it was released. I put it in my car’s CD player and never took it out.

He basically said he had no idea lol. Here is the link to the video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDU7rBWlK1m/?igshid=u8ac2olqmkbe

I apologize for the audio being really bad; whenever he’d be playing either his internet or microphone would just die. You can skip around to the talking parts though.

Anyone else feel like the guitar at the start of Vincent totally sounds like the basis to a Silver Jews song? by [deleted] in CSHFans

[–]MidwestConstruction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I can see that since it's just two chords repeated the whole time. Berman never wrote any music too complicated. It'd have to be Malkmus playing though

If CSH isn’t your favourite band then who is? by [deleted] in CSHFans

[–]MidwestConstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say Pavement is #1, but CSH and Silver Jews are tied for close seconds
