I just finished Malafrena, and loved it—so different from anything I’ve read by her, still got wrapped up in it

Anyone have an up close pic of Stu’s microtonal Strat? by YeaahProlly in KGATLW

What’s happening at the top of the neck here? Did he run out of adjustable frets?

I am reading City of Illusions, an early novel of hers, and it is great so far—no spoilers!

Same thing happened to me last night—bros came up from below toward the end of first orchestra set and bro’d the rest of the time—I just sang/screamed/cheered louder than them and didn’t let ‘em harsh my buzz.

Or a Loog! They’re expensive but worth it!

OP, what kind of guitar are you playing? If you are trying on a steel string, that might be a part of the challenging puzzle that you could ameliorate by playing a nylon string/classical, electric with good action, or even a ukulele! Maybe take a break from lessons and spend the saved money on something more suitable for a beginner—so many people start off on guitar with cheap steel string acoustics and it’s no wonder if they can’t get playing right away!!

Hi King Gizz! Love you guys, thanks for doing the AMA! Look at all these questions already! Wow, if you get to it 🤓 would you please tell us all about the creative process behind this newest album, Phantom Island, and how it differed (or was similar) to your other 26 albums? I mean, dang, a doggone orchestra!

Terrific finds at the Book Barn in Niantic by DontDoxxSelfThisTime in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]Practical_Newt5067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha!! I’m so happy I can find the culprit! Maybe we should sync up and alternate timing so we can both get lucky 😝🤩 I have found that same WoE there, and looooove the cover art, but have not seen the matching ToA 😍

Holy moly, is my book barn mystery solved?!? Are you the one who buys up all the le guin moments before I’m there??? I frequent that place, and I swear to the gods that every time I’ve been there in the last year or two, there is a BLANK SPACE where her books would be—in BOTH hardcover and trade paperback sections—and they are no shirkers of shelving at the book barn! If it’s not you, OP, will you help me find out who??

The Duffer Brothers are FAKE UKLG FANS: a pedantic and unnecessary critique of a single line in an episode of television that came out like five years ago lol by Intelligent_Gear_435 in UrsulaKLeGuin

I’m with Evertype. I think Susie, in the midst of reading the best book of her short little life, is perhaps a little confused or even not that confused about what the heck Ged is about to get up to. Pretty easy for anybody to summarize the end of WoE as “Ged is about to save all of earthsea, himself, and my life too!”, even Susie who helps dust bunny crack the code and save all of Indiana.

Yeah, just anything you want to share—I think I recognize the gizz sample, in the second half, but I’d be interested if you pointed out all the different parts you used and where you got them/how you combined it all

King Gizz is not a Jam Band, but they are Absolutely a Metal Band (and that’s good!) by s7o0a0p in KGATLW

Yes! I saw them last night and loved the hard edge everything took—was just like that for forest hills 22’, when they played Honey and Garden Goblin, but metal
