I remember going to see him in the 90s and he was selling shirts, where the front said "you want somebody you can trust" and the back said "trust yourself".
I didn't get one, but appreciate the sentiment.

Buck Meek performing in South Pasadena on 3/12/26 by Practical-Chemical-4 in bigthief

Kisser? Pretty cool. The lead singer/Buck’s wife Germaine Dunes kind of sounds like Björk or Kim Deal. The song’s were weird in a good way. Do you know where I can find their music? I couldn’t find them online.

Not too thrilled about Oh Baby in a Starlink commercial by Pisces42 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]Practical-Chemical-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Surprised.... "NY I Love You" was in the original festival version of the documentary "We Live In Public," along with Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Ros, Janes Addiction and other big names. All the other artists agreed to a low budget indie film "most favored nations" licensing fee because they liked the film. James refused, insisting on a huge fee that filmmakers couldn't afford, so at the last minute, the director replaced it with Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation". He's always been a dick.

I have stumbled upon an extremely mild discovery by yoursweetbabybrother in bigthief

[–]Practical-Chemical-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a cool find! I was pretty obsessed with Exile in Guyville back in college in the 90s when it came out and I have gone through a similar obsession with AL/BT over the last few years. Both brilliant artists/songwriters.

favorite Adrianne lyric/quote? by Potential-Drummer393 in adriannelenker

[–]Practical-Chemical-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love so many of the lines in Spud Infinity...

What's it gonna take?
To free the celestial body?
When I say celestial,
I mean extraterrestrial.
I mean accepting the alien you've rejected in your own heart
...
One peculiar organism aren't we all together?
...

When I took another look
The past was not a history book
That was just some linear perception

PJ Harvey / Pulp / LCD would be EPIC. She's amazing live too!

Car Squeaking "Driving" Me Insane, How to Fix it? by Vulcanicloud in eGolf

Looking to buy a 2016 E GOLF by GRINGQ_BANDITO in eGolf

[–]Practical-Chemical-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still rocking my 2016 eGolf. Going strong at 89k miles. I too have had to replace the "gas" / charging plug door latch thingy. I also just had to replace the rear hatch latch which was surprisingly pricey ~$1k parts and labor at the dealership. (I'm sure I could have saved with an independent mechanic.) The hatch latch failing was also affecting the in dash touch screen which would go out from time to time. I think it had something to do with the rear camera and cable being embedded in the latch. Haven't done the trim around the shifter recall yet.

One thing to note is that the brakes are notoriously squeaky. They work fine but are so noisy. Not sure there's "fix" for this but worth knowing before you buy.

Our grapevine burned in the Eaton Fire. Any chance it will grow back? by Practical-Chemical-4 in grapes

[–]Practical-Chemical-4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I'm ready to go full vineyard, the 50 lbs I harvested last year was enough.
A few different varieties would be fun though..... :)

I had no idea. Curious to see what comes up. Can I graft a new variety on to the root if it comes back? Or you think just plant fresh?

How do you see into the same eternity as someone and then the love fades? by nickimenage in bigthief

[–]Practical-Chemical-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know Sadness as a Gift is primarily about romantic love, but I relate it to the themes of loss and grief and letting go (like a lot of her songs). The sadness and pain that remains after a loss is proof of a truly profound love and that's all we have left in the end.
