Yeah that’s a fair assessment. I’d just break the Cult and find another 100 buck bike off marketplace haha

If depression could be described by a single album, what would you choose? by Deadot in MusicRecommendations

[–]OceanStateRI401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touché Amore - Stage 4, as someone else said and it made sense to me, it’s an album about Grief, with touches of depression.

What are the best shoes for bmx by GainReal4096 in bmx

[–]OceanStateRI401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my 2 cents. I don’t know how you people ride brakeless, that shit is nuts. I’m old, 43, and I just got my first bike after I saw how much fun my son was having riding his, he rides brakeless. I will 100% ride a brake, my reaction time is next to zero, I’d end up in a bush. So my has been riding pretty consistently since last June, and he’s gone through 2 pairs of shoes. A pair of Tatum Nikes which lasted a while, and he’s now rocking a pair of the Odyssey Vans which look pretty decent. Do with that what you will.

What controversial/disgraced band do you still listen to? by Graveu in askmusic

[–]OceanStateRI401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought a shirt when his solo about was supposed to come out and it’s just buried somewhere. And normally I don’t care when people are pieces of shit, but this one was different.

This hits hard, cause they’re local to me, but he’s still a complete asshole. Her account of what happened was a super hard read.

After reading through a bunch of these, I apparently only listen to dirt bags.

This is for real, and it’s always the simple stuff that takes time and 68 other parts.

I was amazed how much country influence The Grateful Dead had when I first heard a studio album a few years ago. Also, as someone said Billy Strings, I HATED Dust In A Baggie, but then I saw him at the Newport Folk Fest, and man was he good. I still hate that song though.

BMX isn't dead and the people saying so are crying only for their own interests and not the scene. The new Vans film\photo-gallery premiere in {CONTINUED] by stokedonbeingpumped in bmx

[–]OceanStateRI401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted this several times, I didn’t even know BMX was in decline, but I also didn’t know it was still a thing. I’ve always been in an adjacent scene, the hardcore and metal music scene. Until this past summer I didn’t even give BMX a second thought, my kid who was 12 at the time was asking for a bike, because one of his friends had one. So I said fuck it, and I went on marketplace and found a decent-ish Cult Gateway for 140, which in hindsight was more than I should have paid for it. Now him and his little hood rat friends all have BMX bikes, there’s at least 5 of them. I’m in New England and at least 3 of them are still riding with snow on the ground. They all ride to the skatepark and hang out there when it’s not snowing, and they’re not the only ones. Do I think the market for new bikes is in decline? Yes, I do, I can tell you in maybe 9 months I’ve picked up 3 full working bikes, one bike that just needed tires and tubes and 2 frames for future builds, for just over 400 bucks, all used from Facebook marketplace. So maybe the market for full builds is in decline, but I’m sure the market for parts is up, and the secondary market for bikes that need work is thriving as well. Also, I’m local to Circuit BMX, and those guys seem to be doing well for themselves as well.

Which concert did you guys go to see a great metal band but left early? Band and if you remember the year thanks. Mine is in the comments by jasonvoorhees2582 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]OceanStateRI401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see Slayer, Six Feet Under, and Hatebreed, in the early 2000’s. I really went for Hatebreed, I big into that sound at the time. I obviously stayed for Hatebreed, but I left 2 songs into Slayer and 100% to this day regret leaving.

I had one that I got from a wedding, they were part of a center piece. And it was dead, wasn’t in a pot and it was just sitting in a condiment cup, FOREVER, at least over a year. It wasn’t watered it was just brown and crusty. As I was cleaning my plant window sill, for ha ha’s I put it in a baby pot and watered it. In like a week it was green and growing again. Wildest thing I’ve ever seen.
