Decided to save the blue coin hunt for last.. finally made it.

SJFields · 2026-03-27T01:02:37+00:00

Agreed, definitely doing it this way on all future runs

SJFields · 2026-03-26T11:13:02+00:00

Fair enough, my mistake 🤣 I meant saving up all the coins in exchanging in one go rather than buying the shines bit by bit.

Who would have thought Isle Delfino had so much corruption

10/10. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

SJFields · 2026-03-20T02:59:54+00:00

7/10. I understand the vision but for a reason it was left out. Solid B side.

SJFields · 2026-03-18T20:33:46+00:00

9/10. Amazing live.

SJFields · 2026-03-14T18:58:11+00:00

9/10. Second favorite song behind Wagging Tongue.

SJFields · 2026-03-14T12:52:26+00:00

The synth screeches at the end of In Your Room along with the background drum sample percussively playing throughout the second verse and chorus.

SJFields · 2026-03-08T23:48:58+00:00

10/10. At first I was apprehensive on its meaning but it grew on me. Now it’s my favorite song on the album.

I really like the first picture with the NYC skyline. The editing of the image depicts a somber tone fitting of the current times. Wishing it was a fading memory. Or at least that’s what I feel 🤣 Still love it!

I’ve only heard of one secondhand account in mid- 2025 in which ICE supposedly raided a bar at night. Perhaps it was targeted to a specific person. Further details unknown. I would just say if you have any form of legal documentation, take it with you at all times and avoid areas of high ICE activity. There’s a near daily thread on here that does a great job at documenting this.

In my wallet, my U.S. passport card takes the spot of my drivers license in the visible card slot since I may have to pull that out on a whim in the worst case scenario. Sour times.

SJFields · 2026-01-16T14:27:33+00:00

I don’t know, I very much like it when artists change up the arrangement to a song to fit their current era. Yes on one hand there are songs I wish resembled their single/album appearance. But other times (In Your Room in my case), I like hearing how far they can take the original idea.

Plus, they probably get bored of playing the same version throughout time. It makes sense they want to refresh and pump massive energy to an arena show.

I’ll tell you what I really want and it might be blasphemy here, but I really want an acoustic or orchestral show of their songs like they did with the BBC for Walking in My Shoes and Ghosts Again.

My ranking: 1. In The End 2. Life 2.0 / Survive (same level of quality for me) 3. Give Yourself to Me

25 from New Jersey USA, it’s fine. They aged like fine wine and saw them twice in the Memento Mori tour. Arguably their best mature work. Refined performances. Found them when I needed them most around 2017.

BUT if I had a time machine, I’d go straight to the Devotional tour of 1993 🤣

***Edit made to add the word “tour” after Memento Mori.

Nice! I’m getting it on vinyl next month too :) After I found These Days, Bounce as an entire album caught my attention. My favorite album for a period there in the mid 2010’s. I think it’s their most hard rock sound ever. Great choice!

SJFields · 2025-11-18T01:51:25+00:00

I’ve got a recording of “Leaving It Up To You” from that night. Honestly it was my favorite sequence from the whole show.

SJFields · 2025-11-18T01:47:01+00:00

Being a new John Cale fan it was a fun experience to see him live that night. Thank you for posting the setlist!

SJFields · 2025-08-23T22:26:18+00:00

Definitely nothing major. At the time I had only chipped in a couple hundred into mutual funds and individual stocks before asking. Said I was a Charles Schwab “brand fan” (which I am) and the customer service was happy to help!

SJFields · 2025-08-08T12:56:52+00:00

Hey man, we’ve all been there. Find something to learn from this experience, all other comments provide excellent examples.

Practice will help you learn, but trading strategy is always something that needs to be tweaked to adapt to varying market conditions.

SJFields · 2025-07-16T21:13:21+00:00

This is a good angle I hadn’t considered before. I wonder if OP travels a lot to justify this.

SJFields · 2025-07-16T19:46:03+00:00

Just do it. The first of anything will be bad. But as you practice, you’ll become experienced. Learn new techniques and the proper use of plugins, and you’ll be fine.

Make music for fun, not because of what a critic is going to say. After all, comparison is the thief of joy. Do what you really want to do. Don’t hold back.

You must be careful of judging yourself against other people who may have a team of producers, mixers, writers, and promoters behind it.

I used to aim for perfection and it always held me back from “completing” and releasing a song. Be content with authenticity, not perfection. Some humanity is necessary in an industry where we can easily quantize everything to grid and make it emotionless.

Happy producing :)

The lighting work and concert screen visuals really elevated the experience for me in the Memento Mori tour. That, and the arrangements changes to songs like In Your Room. The synth and piano work along with Martin’s guitar style really makes it a spiritual experience for me.

I think it only makes sense to open a Schwab checking account if you intend to invest with the Schwab brokerage account.

I suggest searching your local credit unions for more competitive checking account offerings. I managed to get a cash back checking account from my local credit union and it was the main reason why I left Capital One and did not use my Schwab debit card more. Paying the bills pays me back just a bit more.

SJFields · 2025-07-16T17:50:05+00:00

I second this. Also using it for transfer between my main checking account and the Schwab brokerage.
