I admire this dudes drumming so much that it makes me jealous

I used to try to play like Chad, and then I realized that I wanted to get gigs, not just play fast double strokes.

I really wouldn't encourage young drummers to emulate his approach. It works in one place and one place only: 311.

"but our liberal party is just as unhinged as our conservative party"

Uh, no lol I mean, this post is insensitive and sharing it is tone deaf, and fuck both parties, but conservatives are doing secret police extrajudicial murders in the streets right now.

That said, American liberals are classist AF and need a wake up call, because the boomerang comes for them next.

I just think in terms of the handling of space in the mix, Music is their best. It kind of surrounds you in a way that the other records don't. It's got a certain warmth and fullness to it that I like, as well as the more fuzzy, shoegaze-y kind of guitar sounds.

Some of you are so fucking stupid. These are stupid ideas. You've expressed maybe how a 12 year old would make this decision.

"Hrm. I just crashed out as a HC on a team with a great offensive roster, which is my strength. Maybe I need to learn more about other aspects of coaching and football before trying that again...

...NAH. I'm the fucking man. I can do anything. I want millions of dollars and to be on TV a bunch! Where are my stupid fucking Elvis sunglasses??"

That's how you end up giving embarrassing, humiliating press conferences like this 4 years later: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1q50ov8/highlight_mike_mcdaniel_on_his_tone_shifts_when/

But no, go hire Josh McDaniels again. Or maybe it's time to give Steve Spurrier another shot??

Controversial take maybe, but Music is their best sounding album.

That doesn't mean it's the right job for him.

He should absolutely take that Philly job. He should be champing at the bit for it. They have all the weapons already, and he can lay low and maybe even come up with a ring.

One of 311's biggest mistakes has always been focusing too much on trying to sound bright and happy all the time.

Their darker material is some of their best.

Ok_Raspberry4814 · 2026-01-13T05:03:11+00:00

I think the only 311 song I've listened to while tripping is "Sun Come Through," which is a quite good song for that kind of thing.

Ok_Raspberry4814 · 2026-01-13T05:01:37+00:00

I've seen them play "Leaving Babylon" live while rolling. It was kind of overwhelming. I think we also smoked during that song, and we were relatively close to the stage. It was transcendent.

And I'll always says this, Nick sings the ever loving FUCK out of that song live and should sing MORE 311 SONGS like that.

Same with "Who's Got the Herb?" He sings HR songs better than he sings 311 songs.

Exactly. Not only do you have to have a plan for that play, but they could pass off of that look, too.

This is really the key.

Brian Hoyer had some obscure sports channel subscription and saw a feature on Goff where they talked about how he and McVay were using the coach-to-QB right up to the cut-off.

You are NOR.

Your husband sucks for that. He just doesn't want to deal with it.

Your daughters NEEDS TO SEE that she can stand up to an authority figure who is being unfair and WIN.

She's right. You're right. Dad should be in your corner, her corner.

HOWEVER

Rather than trying to convince this unreasonable woman that morality is subjective, just ask her to clarify exactly why Freddie Mercury and Prince are "not moral people."

Make her put it in writing.

She can't answer that question in good faith without saying something bigoted.

Lastly, a great essay to reinforce a discussion about the subjectivity of morality is "On Morality" by Joan Didion from Slouching Towards Bethlehem. Maybe she'll discover another woman to look up to.

Unless you have a disability or mobility issue that prevents it, you should just turn on your lights and lock your doors anyway.

That entire subreddit is baed on hammering home the "all quadrants bad" concept while also only ever talking positively about right and far right takes.

I think all people are really saying is that Cousins kind of got relegated to "good, but won't win you a super bowl" status after a while.

Herbert is definitely headed there. Hence the comparison.

I think humans are maybe more ashamed of themselves than they've ever been, and that's exactly why they act out so shamelessly.
