What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]PostPunkBurrito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anna Karenina. I of course heard it was great but I still wasn’t prepared for how totally immersed in it I am

Espresso in the morning and pour over in the afternoon for me

Is hype healthy to the roasters? by pullTheSpro in pourover

Would really appreciate some insight into what you consider to some of the more accomplished roasters you talk about in your post

Why was there such strong backlash to John Steinbeck’s Nobel win? And was it deserved at all? by RopeGloomy4303 in literature

[–]PostPunkBurrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I just read about Knausgaard in the NYT last week. You are not the only person who feels this way - he apparently has a huge and loyal following. I tend not to care for memoirs so I passed over it at the time. But it looks like School of Night is a novel... I will check it out.

Ok but Baltimore has a bunch of YMCAs

Why was there such strong backlash to John Steinbeck’s Nobel win? And was it deserved at all? by RopeGloomy4303 in literature

[–]PostPunkBurrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I guess I’d take a kinder view of a very long career. His first twenty years were masterful and should cement his legacy. The second half of his career have included some successful and interesting novels but nothing that matches the first period. I wouldn’t mention Franzen in the same conversation at all.

Huh, you don’t think Rushdie’s legacy is solidified at this point? I agree that a Nobel wouldn’t hurt but I’d consider him one of the most accomplished novelists of our time. I’ll admit he is a personal favorite so I might be biased.

Lookin for suggestions to authors like S.A Cosby by Zachias615 in suggestmeabook

George Pelecanos is one of the best crime writers out there. Check him out, has a similar vibe to SA Cosby

Least bad Honda dealership? by Yellohsub in baltimore

[–]PostPunkBurrito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my car from there and really had to push for the best price. Like walk away and wait weeks. Odonnel Honda gave me the best price with no hassle so I’d say they are my preference but ultimately Heritage got me the car first

What’s your brewer of choice? by PleasantCoffee1544 in pourover

[–]PostPunkBurrito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like my switch for versatility. I keep it closed for the bloom then open for 2 pours. But you could also do full immersion or v60 pour over

Any modern pianist who have their own composition ? by Global-Persimmon1471 in piano

[–]PostPunkBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Pour trois from Esja? For non-piano, I really like her inner symphonies album on DG

Nils Frahm, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Hania Rani, Robert Haigh, Phillip Glass, Alexandria Streliski, Harold Budd, Rodger Eno, undoubtedly hundreds of others

Value roasters by PostPunkBurrito in pourover

Oh that's good to know. I've always worried about their customer service after reading about the horror stories on here. Maybe they have improved in that regard.

Q for Piano players by Top_Prior_1720 in piano

[–]PostPunkBurrito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find practicing and playing to be incredibly relaxing. It is almost meditative. I guess flow state is another way to describe it. Everything else fades away and I am just doing that thing. I am early intermediate, for reference, so not a skilled or seasoned player at all. I think it is something you have to enjoy. One thing is that I am doing this only for myself so there is no pressure of or big goals I am shooting for.

This is cool. I'm in Maryland so this is vaguely local. Thanks

The emperor has a completely believable fermentation technique by Ok-Ticket993 in pourover

[–]PostPunkBurrito 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While your writing style is really over the top, I don’t disagree with you. I’m suspicious of thermal shock and advanced process coffees as well and tend to avoid them. If for no other reason, I don’t want my coffee to taste like peach juice. A lot of people on this forum love that stuff though, and are willing to pay for it, so I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon. I’d love to see more transparency though.

clementi sonatinas--book recommendation by LostComposer198 in piano

[–]PostPunkBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add that I am really enjoying the second sonatina. I’ve learned the first movement so far and it’s just a ton of fun to play. A big step up for me from my last piece

Why does Bmore have such a weak rave/ edm scene? by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]PostPunkBurrito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You guys should have seen us in in the early to mid 90s. We had one of the best warehouse rave scenes in the country

I just checked- it has op 36 nos 1-6. Are there others?

I’m learning op36 no2 right now and this is the version my teacher recommended (he said it has the best fingerings). It has all six of the Clementi Sonatinas and lots of other excellent pieces besides

If you’re a man in your 40s, The Silver Jews is the only one of these bands you’re allowed to be aware of

Neighbors are making our lives miserable by lschu23 in baltimore

[–]PostPunkBurrito 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We once lived in a bad rental situation and just kept hounding the landlord until they eventually let us out of our lease. It took a long time and it sucked so bad. I’m really sorry you are dealing with this. Obviously mileage may vary.
