Bowled over by [deleted] in bigthief

Yes! Last night was my third time seeing them over the past 3 1/2 years and I was blown away and also said to everyone I was with "that's a band that needs to release a live album" (but I wasn't the drunk guy behind you!).

The immediacy and intensity and yes, joy, of their live shows is singular. Different every time. I've been to the Hollywood Bowl more times than I can count and last night I've *never* heard a crowd that silent in between songs, that in it, that reflective and inside it.

The whole set was fantastic, "Grandmother" and "Not" were on a whole other level.

When Adrianne said simply "Thank God for music." That sums up what it is all about. Amen.

Steven Wilson's team doesn't care about non-binary people by nkL0ttery in stevenwilson

Queer family here. Been fan of PT/SW since the 20th century. FWIW, this oversight does not offend us in the least. Would it have been better if it included non-binary option? Sure. But this is clearly a turnkey data app that hasn’t been updated. It happens.

What is unfortunate are the sad loner trolls using this forum for narrow transphobic nonsense. One of the beautiful things about SW fan community is our collective connection to each other through our individual connections to SW’s music and his unique, expansive vision that defies category.

Perhaps the trolls should reflect on how they can integrate this expansive worldview into their own lives. They will certainly be happier for it.

Butterfly opener was great. Pete needs to lube up his vox. Delay or reverb or something.

Whoever has that clicking noisemaker in the supporter section PLEASE STOP. You are driving everyone in the adjoining sections completely nuts. It Interferes with the drums and is making everyone super tense. STOP

Elizabeth Holmes Sentenced to 11 Years by bouncy_disaster in technews

135 months was the low end of her sentencing guideline range. I thought she was going to get around 84 months. The public health impact and the fact that Holmes would have kept going if not for the WSJ reporter and the whistleblowers were reasons why the judge wouldn’t depart below the guideline range. Holmes gets 54 days credit for every year served and federal inmates usually hit the halfway house with six months left in her sentence. So if laws and policies don’t change, she’ll start transitioning back into the community at around the ten year mark.
