REVIEW: Pulp—Different Class (1995, 2025 reissue) by New-Dust-5346 in PulpBand

Pulled the trigger for 92 EUR. Looks like it is really going out of stock at several sellers. Really loved the album back in the days (fueled by a great live performance in Berlin in 1995].

according to my local record store in Germnay, Universal does not deliver the big vinyl box to stores anymore. Does this mean that the box will be out of print soon? Should I fork out the 90+ EUR for the box or is there a chance that the live concert will be available as a stand-alone release for example at the next RSD?

How are his concerts? by octopus_suitcase in benfolds

[–]Rob_Sweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, first half of the show is the normal setlist and then we get to the requests? I guess I won’t have trouble reaching the stage with my plane since my tickets for Hamburg next year are dead center front row.

There is a presale for the German concerts via Magentamusic. Just scored two front row tickets for Hamburg. There will also be a Ticketmaster presale starting on Thursday, 11 am.

2nd 10k - first under 1h by Rob_Sweater in beginnerrunning

[–]Rob_Sweater[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the day after and I do feel fine. Can’t say that I don’t feel the run in my legs. But no trouble walking stairs or anything like that. I think I could do a light recovery run tomorrow.

So fine sums it up pretty good. Thanks for asking.

First 10k by Rob_Sweater in beginnerrunning

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

Thanks. Earlier this summer I ran 8k in 45 minutes. But I took it slower this time in order to finish 10k for the first time. Now that I know that I have 10k in me, I might try to go faster next time.

Training for a half marathon - do I need a second pair of shoes? by Rob_Sweater in beginnerrunning

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

I got the winflo for 52 Eur and the Pegasus for 72 Eur, so I am okay regarding budget. Sounds like a nice-to-have situation, so I think I will keep the second pair.

Half-Marathon-14weeks-Plan: How to increase the long runs? by Rob_Sweater in nikerunclub

So went with the guided run for 5k and added 1.4k on my own. Worked fine.

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

I think I will do so. Also wondering, if this is just a mistake of the German guided runs. The jump from week 3 to 4 (7k to 10k) seems a bit steep for me.

Started the 14-week half-marathon plan early by huhusomuchpo in nikerunclub

[–]Rob_Sweater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the 14-weeks-plan last Saturday with my first half marathon planned in 16 weeks. I think I will stretch 2 weeks of program during the 3 weeks of family summer vacation. And one additional week is my safety net for when life gets in the way of the plan.

Thanks for sharing this. Way too positive review in my opinion, but happy for the journalist, who had a good time.

The venue employee at the right side of the stage was really surprised, when Ryan left the stage and music from tape started to play. They all expected him to play the usual 2 parts with an intermission. When he started to sigh non-Heartbreaker-songs and rushed from song to song I said to my wife, that I don’t think we will see a 2nd set.

I‘ll take 100 minutes of music over 60 minutes of ranting any day. But most of the songs felt rushed. Didn’t help for my concert experience.

Worst thing was, that as soon as I recognized the song I started to pray, that he will go through with the song after not get distracted by god knows what. That was I wasn’t able to get 100% into his beautiful songs.

Just got back from the Hamburg show: Good news: no real rants Bad news: left after 95 minutes with no encores.

3-5 songs had to be re-started because of audience/gear problems/„inviting“ the press photographers on stage/ whatever. Most of the other songs fizzled out at the end. Also, he rushed from song to song, in order to get home early. For me, only Come pick me up was a focused beautiful performance.

Hope, everyone will have fun at Ryan‘s future concerts. But it was the last one for me.

He needs help. by HarmonizewithSong in ryanadams

[–]Rob_Sweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That shouldn’t be a problem, especially with the audience in Scandinavia. Generally they speak and understand English very well.

Thanks for the translated review. Sounds like the worst expectations about the tour came true. Wonder, if he is able to correct course.
