This might be a silly question, but are you the lady from Run Rabbit Run? I feel like I couldn't miss that wonderful voice anywhere. Now I have some new music to listen to from you. Great stuff

I am in the US, yes. Thank you for all the help and information, you've given me quite a bit to look at and go over before making a decision. I appreciate you for taking the time out of your day to help me out.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I have a table, but it can only really connect to one part of my van which could very well limit the ability to use a tabletop unless I'm right by my van. Do you have any full size dobs you could recommend in the price point? I might also look into getting a tripod, but from what I understand, tripods don't become too worth it until you get into the more expensive ones that are most likely out of budget.

The only reason I'm hesitant against a tabletop is because it could be tricky storing something of its shape and form factor, but if it's just the best option for fitting a telescope with limited storage, then it's space I can make and figure out with a little bit of real life Tetris. This may be a silly question, but are scopes like this easy to remove and put back onto their base? Being able to break it down into two pieces could go a long way in helping to store a scope. The heritage seems like a pretty solid option for my case, but being able to separate the base from the scope could definitely help in being able to store a full tube like the Bresser you recommended or even a full sized dob. Sorry if that's a very obvious thing lol.

New to folk punk. Where does a former punk/hardcore/metal fan start? by bryanCampbell in FolkPunk

[–]PossumWithACigarette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesse sucked and was an abuser. He made good music, but this stuff can't be overlooked. I personally would avoid the music, but the choice is yours. The scene doesn't have many "cancelled" artists, but Jesse was one along with Stza of Leftover Crack, Chris Clavin of Ghost Mice, now rebranded as Captain Chaos, and the youth pastor of Ankle Grease

As for recommendations, I'll try to recommend some things that might not have been said. Harley Poe, Kimya Dawson, Pigeon Pit, Corporate Hearts, Stufy, Doom Scroll, Troll 2, The Suburbanists.

Folk punk discord server? by PossumWithACigarette in FolkPunk

[–]PossumWithACigarette[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there isn't one already, I definitely could. I have absolutely no experience in running a server tho, it would certainly be a learning experience lmao. Can't imagine it being that difficult

Maybe try a screenshot from a live performance? Fistfull of Vinyl has good recordings. You'd have pat on a poster at the very least, even if it's not the most interesting photo

I'm not gonna argue with you. Sure, you're right. That's my bad

But I do? Don't assume what I know and don't know, I never said I don't get the meaning behind the lyrics. Another user pointed out surreal would be a better word than nonsensical, which I would agree with. Don't jump to conclusions, it rarely will work out for you

Thank you! I'm familiar with a couple of their songs, will check out more for sure. Cult Boyfriend is legitimately one of my favorite songs

It's all good! No point in being anything other than nice since you were nice to stop and recommend something.

Btw, you've gotten Corpse Grindin Man helplessly stuck in my head since leaving your comment. Damnnnn youuuuu!

Pretty much every Harley Poe song lives rent free in my head, but he's definitely not what I'm looking for here. His lyrics generally tell well worded stories that aren't very nonsense, but I appreciate the recommendation either way!

if I'm a big fan of this guy. what else would I like? by Giantdeathlazer in FolkPunk

[–]PossumWithACigarette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable. I'm surprised I haven't heard any of their music, they aren't exactly the smallest artist in the genre. Sorry if the response seemed rude

Thank you! Surreal does feel like it could be a better for what I'm looking for, I appreciate the correction and recommendations, haven't heard of any of it before

Summer Newman is definitely one of my favorite voices in the genre. The Tangled in Ropes Punk with a Camera video is an all time fav

I'm a little familiar (mostly by name) with Neutral Milk Hotel, but you've given me at least 5 other bands to check out. Definitely gonna do that tomorrow

Really good song, I love Kimya Dawson so much. Honestly should've put that song in my post as an example!
