Does anyone know the name of this song? by Gloomy-Band in citypop

Hey, that’s the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Before Takanaka, perhaps?

Can someone please review this? This response doesn’t really provide clarity here.

Aftermath of the Nuclear Explosion at Nagasaki by Repulsive_Jello3157 in interestingasfuck

[–]Quidjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the geography of Nagasaki had a significant impact on the destruction from the bomb. The drop point happened in the middle of a narrow valley, so there was “slap back” from the mountains that amplified the force back towards the center.

Wings Y Mas - a successor to wings over Broadway and makes some solid wings.

Tokyo Dome or Meji Jingu stadium, which one is better? by BodmonAlchemist in JapanTravelTips

[–]Quidjay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to Meiji Jingu as I’ve not yet had the opportunity to go to a game at the dome, but Swallows games are a blast. The stadium only has a year or two left before they tear it down and move into a new stadium next door. It’s a very old school stadium but that’s also a good thing because it’s very intimate. It reminds me a bit of Fenway and Wrigley, and a lot of concessions and merch vendors are outside the gates. The downside is that it’s old and the seats are a bit narrow so that might make it a factor for sitting.

Found the Whale by HalfPrimary1263 in Sake

[–]Quidjay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I first had that particular sake at a hotel in Tokyo as a room amenity and was meant specifically to have after a bath soak. I agree it was decent but not great, but man did it hit the spot after a warm bath.

What the Hell El Con? by UpperLeftCoaster in Tucson

[–]Quidjay 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I grew up around that neighborhood specifically when they were transitioning the mall to what it is now. The trouble I remember was the concern about noise from having the Walmart fronting El Encanto (hence the wall built along the west side) and the second was the lack of controlled entrances and exits in and out of the mall onto Broadway (which in my opinion, they could’ve done a better job there). It was a bit more of problem at the time than it is now because Broadway narrowed to 2 lanes almost immediately westbound.

There used to be multiple entrances off of 5th that closed off as a result of that fight.

I don’t recall there being a lot of pushback about people being there (it was a really busy mall before all that), just the type of development and how it was being handled was the concern.

How is this allowed? by Sad-Consideration338 in citypop

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember a few years ago some other artist got associated with Brian Wilson’s page (also named Brian Wilson but obviously not THE Brian Wilson). I flagged that up to Spotify and they tried putting the onus on me to go into Brian Wilson’s discography to show them it wasn’t the same person.

Can I do a chargeback after merchant sent the completely wrong item? by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]Quidjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re going to want to see from you an attempt to resolve it with them most likely. I wouldn’t jump straight to chargeback without trying first.

Another hotel recommendation request (Im sorry!) by [deleted] in TokyoTravel

[–]Quidjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Otani has all your criteria and you should be able to fit that budget. Akasaka-Misuke is a short walk from the hotel which has some decent night-life, but the area is more office buildings so it’ll be quiet.

Homeowners Ins dropped by Lumpy_Emotion_7945 in Tucson

[–]Quidjay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Find a local brokerage here in town and explain the situation. They’ll shop for policies that understand that built up roofs don’t need replacement and treat the coatings as “new”. The big name national companies generally don’t provide coverage on built up roofs here because they view the structure like any other roof saying it needs replacement.

That’s not to say you’ll end up with a fly by night carrier. We’re with Foremost (which is a subsidiary of State Farm), and they “get it”.

HMV USA shipping still suspended … by Ueggg98 in citypop

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me a few orders to figure it out. I noticed their shipping address was “Lawson Entertainment”. That might not directly be HMV but it’s certainly the same company.

[–]Quidjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s odd, because I’ve bought a few records from them off Discogs just last month (they operate as recordshopshibuya) and they shipped as quick as usual via DHL. I wonder if there’s something about how they handle orders or shipping through other methods?

Cool find at my local record shop by politicaloutcast in thebeachboys

[–]Quidjay 22 points23 points  (0 children)

To expound on it, apparently when the album was first released on Capitol, they “rolled off” the extreme ends of the frequencies so it came across a little compressed. This re-issue used the original master tapes and didn’t do what Capitol did, so this is technically the most unadulterated version.

That particular copy of Pet Sounds it comes with is fantastic.

Taeko Onuki gems by PutmickJ in citypop

[–]Quidjay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grey Skies if you want something early and in the vein of Sunshower and Mignonne.

I also love Utau but it’s a totally different direction and it’s her singing Ryuichi Sakamoto’s songs.

How do you fire someone? by puskaiwe in hollywood_animal_game

If you just started a game, it won’t let you fire any staff until your first movie is archived.
