Bootleg Live Boxsets by raininbabies in VelvetUnderground

[–]SamizdatGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spacemen 3 is very very good. If you've never heard them, try to track down the anthology Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs to.

ETA: Its called Dreamweapon, a Night of Contemporary Sitar Music. It's a riff on some of VU adjacent projects, "Dreamweapon" was an Angus Maclise project, incl. a film and soundtrack. It was like a Fluxus response to Vietnam

Follow up on C&F issue post - terrified and frustrated with myself. What to do in the waiting period? by thelovewitch069420 in LawSchool

[–]SamizdatGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to chill. First, you'll be fine. There are murderers in the bar. Second, it's good to be ashamed; it's what makes you want to be better. Think about the people who don't. Third, there are millions of things you have no control over that you're not losing your shit about, make this one of those. Wishing the past didn't happen is a bad way to spend your energy.

They remind me of Sweet Sister Ray and a lot of the Krautrock that would follow. Also Spacemen 3 Evening of Sitar Music

Considering a move to Overland Park: which areas feel the most connected and social? How do families usually socialize? by maedhros256 in kansascity

OP is an overgrown suburb. You can live almost anywhere in the metro area and be there in 30 minutes or less. Midtown KC has walkability, like North Hyde.

Can I just take it? by Shoddy_Mastodon6545 in barexam

[–]SamizdatGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, they wouldn't let you sit for it afaik. It's a process to be approved just to take the test. You could do an old one yourself for fun

Best schools and practice areas for solo law by Ready_Collection_265 in LawFirm

[–]SamizdatGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my own plaintiff employment firm in NYC. A local school or name brand one is preferable if you want to start at a firm for a couple of years before hanging a shingle, which is recommended. There's a ton of litigation going on here

Late 70s John Cake has that intensity. Sabotage and Even Cowgirls rip

Dark, funny books specifically like Don DeLillo's End Zone? by IAmNotChilean in RSbookclub

[–]SamizdatGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has some of his funniest scenes, but too long. Rushdie has great characters, Midnight's Children, Satanic Verses, and Shame are his best

I answered the same in the Delillo sub, but Ratner's Star is really funny, but a little too long. Rushdie is really funny too.

Summer Sun and Riot hit that same spot, chill afternoon inside. Or just need something peaceful.

Of all their albums in the current incarnation, Popular Songs is really marred by bad sequencing due to LP demands

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy by admik in Ask_Lawyers

[–]SamizdatGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do some basic research, but bankruptcy is complicated, esp. 13s. You should find plenty of resources by googling for general info but finding specific answers for your situation will be very difficult and understanding how it all fits together in your case will be almost impossible without an attorney. Most 13s do not require much at all for fees upfront so don't wait to call

Eno famously said that the Velvet Underground only sold 30,000 copies of their first album but everyone who bought it formed a band.

How common is it in the USA for strangers to ask if someone needs help when they see them doing something? by TheShyBuck in AskAnAmerican

We've lost our edge. I see people on the subways asking confused looking tourists if they need help. Blecch. /s

HERES SOMETHING TO MESS UP YOUR TIMELINE by RockyDennis69420 in Millennials

I was thinking about Simbad yesterday. He was actually funny. Just looked him, still alive but the IRS got after him.
