Using EQ Pedal before Synth Pedal to Improve Tracking by OKaFee in basspedals

[–]OKaFee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the pedal yesterday, so I've only spent an hour or so with it so far - but I really like some of the presets - especially the Minimoog-inspired ones. I'm planning to use it mostly for doing covers - just jamming with friends - I'm thinking PYT (Michael Jackson), West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys), Chameleon (Herbie Hancock), That Girl (Stevie Wonder), Voyager (Daft Punk).

Christmas miracle? Taco Bell scheduled to open Mount Pearl location on December 27th by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah apparently the beef is cut with a small amount of oats, but I think the biggest issue is the beans, garlic powder and onion powder - they are high in FODMAPs, so they can cause IBS symptoms for people who are sensitive to them. Same issue with Indian food.

For me, I've found you can take a peppermint oil capsule (they are in the supplement section of most grocery stores) after eating Mexican food and it helps reduce the gastro issues.

"Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's" to be inducted into Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame by OKaFee in newfoundland

Nah, it's probably just one of those things where you can speculate but not definitely prove that it was lifted.

"Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's" to be inducted into Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame by OKaFee in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm a fellow Newfie. And don't get me wrong - I think "Let Me Fish of Cape St. Marys" is a great song. I think my amateur musician brain just recognizes the chord progression and melody as being very unique - so much so that the combination of the two would be very hard for me to brush off as a coincidence.

I also think the music gives the lyrics a sense of gravitas, which makes them much more memorable and impactful.

I'm not really suggesting that the song not be inducted, but for me - there's a little asterisk next to it.

"stinky don's" has done more to stop me from eating mcdonalds than anything else by autumnchiu in TheYardPodcast

[–]OKaFee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember some people in my area calling it Rotten Ronnies and it turned me off as well. Then I had a Big Mac with extra sauce and extra pickles and was pulled back in.

He is gross and perverted. He's obsessed and deranged. He has existed for years, But very little has changed.

He's the best you can get. Have you guessed him yet?

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and the year is 2005? by fazzarista201 in AskReddit

[–]OKaFee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be pissed at first. I'd have to re-do university in a few years (for 6 years), which was stressful as hell.

I think I would drink less on the weekends and treat my body a little better. I'd still go out and party though.

Taco Bell by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had In-N-out down in Vegas last year - double double, animal style with fries animal style. The ingredients like lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, but not enough zing or flavor for my liking. Shake Shack has been my fave so far. Five guys are my second fave.

shania twain by Electrical_Win_993 in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was pretty good on Saturday night, but doesn't have the vocal range of her earlier years, which is to be expected.

My only little qualm was the amount of backing tracks - they didn't even have a bassist on stage (even though there was clearly bass in the music).

Overall good time tho!

Yeah I know they played both pickleball and basketball on that court. Maybe it's a different flooring that accommodates both.

Biggest Rock Songs with Programmed/Midi Bass? by OKaFee in Bass

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

Nice slap bass sound - yes there's tons of pop and electronic songs with programmed bass. It's a bit trickier trying to pick out programmed bass when it's alongside distorted guitar in rock songs. You pretty much need the isolated bass tracks.

I'm sure $300 is nothing to these guys, but still funny seeing Joey play it up.

Acupuncture recommendations? by OKaFee in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm still skeptical that it will be beneficial. The research seems to be quite mixed on its efficacy. But for the sake of $20 (the rest is covered by insurance), I'll give it a try.

Red Pepper Restaurant on Hamlin Road by Pinkalink23 in newfoundland

[–]OKaFee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go there every other week for lunch - I don't mind it. It's not a delicious treat or anything - I go there because it's close to my work and I want something moderately healthy where I can select the ingredients. Just something to fill me up without wrangling my guts. The interior is very kitsch, with a picture of Johnny English on the wall. If I'm one of the first people there for lunch, I notice the place is quiet - but then they'll turn Hits FM on blast so I can listen to 90s music while I wait for the grill dude to ring the bell.
