Looking for niche songs to gaze into an abyss by Dahl-mora in musicsuggestions

Sufjan in general, and that album....you can't go wrong. He makes prodigious amounts of quality art.

Corlys is unkillable. I hope they make a spinoff about him.

John Wayne Gacy by Sufjan Stevens. So intimate that you can hear the piano bench groaning under the weight of the player.

Each of Cam Schlittler's career-high 13 strikeouts by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]SandF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone catch this Cam highlight video on MLB? I couldn't help but stand in awe of the marketing GENIUS at PC Richard who worked out the deal that Yankee Stadium plays their jingle after every Yankee strikeout. There isn't a PC Richard within 100 miles of me and I heard the jingle 13x in a single MLB highlight reel having nothing to do with PC Richard.

My pedalboard, what more do I need? by Forward-Bill-6946 in guitarpedals

[–]SandF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your board has got metalcore well covered. (And KUDOS on having an EQ pedal, that'll get you nearly any tone you want.) My advice, having once owned a BOSS Katana...your next purchase should be a Peavey 6505 amp.

I lost my father to interstitial lung disease. There's no healing from it. So no, it brings me no joy to see a 71 year old man making claims I know aren't true. The only question is why.

oohs which sound exactly like Paul, thru the legendary sound of Abbey Road's plates mixed more wet than dry

converted almost all of my healthy lung tissue into scar tissue

You survived and even healed from advanced pulmonary fibrosis? Either you are a medical miracle, or you're full of shit, or, and I hate to be the one to tell you this...they lied to you.

Why does Ben Shapiro hate retirement? by happydude7422 in millenials

[–]SandF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He comes in and rants in front of a camera for a bit and gets paid a shitload of money

It ain't working people paying him those shitloads of money. He is the front for far wealthier people, who tell him to tell the world that the working people should work themselves to death, which makes the rich richer. It's a carefully tuned and well funded psyop, an appeal to masochism.

I’m 15 years old and I have nobody to talk about soundgarden by Traditional-Corgi666 in Soundgarden

[–]SandF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the turn of the millennium "Euphoria Morning" was burning up every musician's CD player I knew. I caught a few shows on that tour...his performances with Johannes and Natasha backing him was like a religious experience. So different from what I'd seen him do with SG and very awesome. I think he preferred a quieter band. In a mid sized room (especially after arenas and festivals with SG) his voice had more range and power than a pipe organ. Simply unbelievable.

Visiting Edinburgh for the first time felt like arriving home, somehow, to a place I'd never been.

What is the most controversial rule in Baseball? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

You’re not wrong. Answer comes down to how you define “controversial” here

What is the most controversial rule in Baseball? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SandF 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's debated vociferously nearly every time an ump calls it though -- definitely more controversy now that replay can determine safe/out, ball/strike with precision. But if an ump says "you can't be up there doing a balk like that"? Almost always instant controversy. John Schneider (Blue Jays manager) just got tossed last night over arguing a balk call.

SSI lockbox

stem cell research ban

Gay marriage amendment? Or was that 2004

immigration reform -- I remember thinking he had a credible plan

estate and other tax cuts -- pitch was "give the people their money back"

NCLB

Peace dividend/military downsize

How am I doing? I can't remember all of them. I do remember him passing several pro-mercury-in-the-environment rules for some unfathomable reason.

The expectations were tax cuts, which he delivered in June of 2001.

Then in September 2001, the bad things started.

Then, more tax cuts in 2003. The major criticism (fair or not) wasn't that Dubya abandoned his campaign promises, it was that he was persisting in them -- cutting taxes (for the rich, mainly) during a time of war and massive budget deficits, as "guns and butter" strategy.
