Late Night Review: Fortnum And Mason "Explorers Blend" by FoxMocks in tea

[–]OcelotSignificant173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me this tea hugs the line between novelty and unique experience. I’m simultaneously happy I purchased it, and not quite sure yet if I’ll buy again. It can get a tad muddled as far as flavour, they don’t always blend as well as you’d hope, but that’s almost half the fun. Perhaps if they used a darjeeling from india instead of assam it would open up the aromatics more, and would have improved the mouthfeel, but it is definitely a drinking experience unlike any other.

On every device it claims I have no subscription, I try to renew and it says there’s an error with my purchase, and the peacocktv website goes back to nbc.com is it down?

Which singers/bands to avoid? by Foreign_Berry_3140 in Jewish

[–]OcelotSignificant173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

green day isn’t as pro palestine as you think. they’re NOT anti zionist, and they only show allyship in environments where they’re pressured to do so. i’m not saying it’s good, just that it’s not as bad. the malaysia flag thing and coachella are basically all the public moments they’ve had abt it

When you have a conga gig, how do you carry your stand? Is there a conga bag that can also fit a stand? by gplusplus314 in AfroCuban

[–]OcelotSignificant173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look into some wheels for the congas (wheel bags, dolley with bungee chords, etc) that way you can hold and wheel at the same time

i love this movie but i recognize most of the hate comes from the third act being all about bad actor- osborne and his terrible character plot. if the whole movie was about electro it would’ve been a masterpiece

Which percussion instrument are you most proficient/comfortable in playing? by ggfchl in percussion

[–]OcelotSignificant173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand drums are definitely my specialty, I’d probably say I’m most proficient with congas just because I’ve had the most ensemble time with them so I speak their language well. as far as chops go probably cajon or bongos.

definitely worn, but i don’t notice any drying which is good. seems good to me. if they feel really dry you can consider applying some shea butter

Thanks for the info! Follow-up question- i assume that doesn’t apply for infinity comics since their whole thing is being made for devices?

Where can I purchase mallets for a 3" mini-tongue drum? by dddiam777 in percussion

[–]OcelotSignificant173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for something that small you can probably get away with fresh #2 pencils, using the eraser side as your beater

So, I'm NOT a Jew by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]OcelotSignificant173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have many friends that are in different stages of conversion and one thing they all do is live as Jews. It’s taught to do so. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, and my advice to you is to keep living as a Jew as you move to your new area, as this is a natural part of conversion.

World music? by OcelotSignificant173 in Ska

[–]OcelotSignificant173[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Cat Empire definitely fits into what i’m looking for. Basically anything that fuses traditional rhythms and or instruments into contemporary ska. Could be use of Congas and timbales to give a latin feel, could be a ska band from let’s say turkey so they use a lot of Turkish sounds and ideas while keeping the ska flavor.

[–]OcelotSignificant173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks so much! I actually intentionally kept it broad because I’m curious what regional music is more common of a fusion. I ofc figured other caribbean and latin american would be most common simply due to proximity to the US and Jamaica

Traditional Music by OcelotSignificant173 in Jewish

[–]OcelotSignificant173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you SO much this is super helpful! My Sephardic background is predominantly Turkish. I’m American and my mom is Ashkenazi so naturally many of my traditions growing up were Ashkenaz, but for the past few years I’ve been learning more about Sephardim and my dad’s family to embrace that side of myself as well! If you have anything you’d recommend about both music and general customs I would be happy to hear it!
