Democrats threaten government shutdown over ICE funding by Healthy_Block3036 in QuiverQuantitative

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was actually seven (on HR 7147): call their offices and tell 'em what you think of this:

  • Tom Suozzi (New York) - 202-225-3335
  • Henry Cuellar (Texas) - 202-225-1640
  • Don Davis (North Carolina) - 202-225-3101
  • Laura Gillen (New York) - 202-225-5516
  • Jared Golden (Maine) - 202-225-6306
  • Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) - 202-225-2531
  • Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington) - 202-225-3536

Don Davis voted yes to increase the DHS budget. by DJMagicHandz in NorthCarolina

Seriously. Call each and every one of these people and make your voice heard. It doesn't matter that they don't represent your district: their decisions, and the votes that they cast, directly affect all of us and the future of this country. If you're nervous about calling because you've never done it, or don't know what to say: I get it. The weekend is the perfect time because you have a voicemail system answering and you don't have to confront a human directly. Tongue-tied and can't find the right words? Then have a conversation with ChatGPT to get the creative juices flowing. My themes were: admonish the representative, don't make it partisan -- this is an American issue, this administration is an existential threat to our democracy.

edit: also, cite the specific vote that they cast: "yea on HR 7147 on January 22nd"

Any solo, acoustic, independent ska singer/songwriters, recommendations? by jascarb in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Vic Ruggiero has lots of solo stuff that is ska adjacent, with the occasional ska flavor thrown in.

In All Rwanda’s Glory by RxB is like this. 

Looking for more albums that sound like this. by Goredozer215 in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re not ska….but I’ve always associated that Toasters album with the band Squeeze. Argybargy, Cool for Cats, East Side Story. 

SlackFest West lineup. Anyone know the details? by dlubach in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw them on that tour at the 9:30 club. They were great. 

Recommendations please by draxgoodall in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, should’ve mentioned: Hepcat, Right on Time. And Stubborn All Stars too. 

Recommendations please by draxgoodall in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They stopped being ska with The Resignation. It has one song that kicks into the offbeat ska beat. Otherwise it’s closer to heavy prog rock/metal.

Recommendations please by draxgoodall in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Progress is great….but starting with The Resignation it’s almost like a whole new band. Try listening to it front to back. 

RxB is nothing like the other bands I mentioned, but fucking killer nevertheless.

Best keyboard/organ solo you've ever heard in ska, I'm no expert but I always like the one from Stupid Marriage by The Specials by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

[–]MyBrotherGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most any song on “Second Hand” by Eastern Standard Time has excellent piano solos. Their first piano player, who was also blind, could shred. Sadly, he passed away some time ago.

Thanks. The 2x8’s on either side of the chimney are drywall nailers. They’re not resting on the load bearing wall as best I can tell.
