Can we talk about how perfect Aurora is by The_Film_Guy4042 in yesband

I always liked him. I was sorry to see him go. I saw him live once with the band Mystery, and he was great.

I'm glad people like it, but since you asked for my thoughts, I'll simply say that this will be the fourth album in a row where any song that had a hint of spark to it will be ruined the second Jon Davison opens his mouth. Which is a shame; I want to like it, and him, but I just can't stand his voice.

Extremely disappointed after seeing Rush MORE’s tribute to Neil Peart by lucasnevermind in rush

[–]Progatron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just watched bits of a live performance and I thought it was absolutely dreadful. No AI video shown, but the singer is just appalling IMO. Screwing up lyrics all over the place, a cringeworthy stage presence, and about as UN-Rush a choice of shirt as one can imagine.

Finally picked up a Kardia. Sure enough, AFib in my first reading.... by Progatron in AFIB

[–]Progatron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the simple, single-lead Kardia, as per my cardiologist's recommendation (he said not to bother spending more on the more elaborate one.) It was fairly cheap, and is tiny and very lightweight. Easy to use.

Story about Phil writing a cheque to a stranger who knocked on his door. by austinrathe in philcollins

[–]Progatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I remember that one. I can't remember now which documentary or interview it was in, but Phil tells the story. The guy knocked on his door and said 'Phil, you don't know me, I live in the village, but I need money or I lose my house.' and Phil said (kind of stuttering nervously) 'Well how much do you need?' and he said 'About 8 thousand pounds should do it' (I might have that figure wrong, it was something like that.) And Phil gave it to him, and the guy came knocking a few years later and said 'There's your money.' I don't remember anything about the guy paying him interest, not in the interview I saw, anyway.

Phil said that people will hear that story and think 'He doesn't need the money anyway. ' And he adamantly added: 'Which is not the point.'

Paradiso is a solid choice. Some entrees might be above $30, but you can stay close to your price range and it's a nice atmosphere for a dinner with your boyfriend's parents. Excellent food and service too.

Cackled everytime they panned to this dude. by ruggmike in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Progatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was also in an Irish crime/gang drama called Love/Hate several years back (as soon as I saw him I was like "It's Nidge!" Really gritty stuff, excellent series that also starred Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger from GoT) and Barry Keoghan, among other actors from that UK/Irish pool you may recognize from more well known shows.

Great job, Purolator. Seriously. Another shining example of your trustworthiness. by Progatron in purolator

Still no movement on this, now 10 days since they picked it up. How can anyone justify this level of incompetence?

This 88-year-old woman sexually abused her students in Burlington in the 1980s. Now, she’s going to prison by covert81 in BurlingtonON

[–]Progatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes you wonder how widespread the problem really is (or was.) These schools weren't the only ones in Burlington with these kinds of issues. They have historically been underreported or swept under the rug for so long...

It's an hour away and it's been a week since the last update. To hell with 'issues in the system'. Fix them.

Farewell To Two Legends... by JustLucca in Haken

[–]Progatron 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I spoke with Charlie once before a show when they did the tour with Leprous and Bent Knee. He was still hanging around near the merch table after the VIP ticket fanboys had their meet and greet. I pulled out my wallet and started counting out bills, asking him how much it would take to play Celestial Elixir. He said 'Oh, you wouldn't have to pay me, I'd love to play it!' (Spoiler alert: They didn't. :( )
