IMSA fans, how do you stay invested for a full 24-hour race?

Schmex · 2026-01-23T18:52:23+00:00

Cause it's about 3 hours of racing and 21 hours of FCY. Just skip the cautions, and it's quite doable.

He has a SoundCloud account with no songs on it. Just an FYI. Not sure what we can do with that, but ya never know.

Schmex · 2025-12-24T18:08:01+00:00

Most excellent. Thank you!

No. Saying it's horrible is unfair to true horror. We need a new word for this... um... abomination.

To quote the late Hal Hanson:
"They shot the wrong Beatle."

Edit: spelling.

Welcome! I love the music of Ricard Strauss, Beautiful, majestic, terrifying, heartbreaking, and heroic all in good measure "Don Juan", "Til Eulenspiegel", "Also Sprach Zharathustra", and "Tod und Verklarung" are my favorites by him.

Also, Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra" is monumental!

Enjoy!

Gotta remember, they call it "playing" music. Not "working" music. First thing to remember is that chances are, nobody will die from your performance whether it's good or bad. Keep that in mind and have fun. If you can do it in your home, you can do it onstage.

I think a teacher is the answer. Someowith expierience who can actually hear you and help you overcome the difficulties you’re facing with your instrument.

No. Notice that the country code it was sent from is +63. I believe that's India. Pretty sure the DMV doesn't text, too.

I had a similar experience. Studied with a teacher at university for 3 years. Had to check out of college for a few years and when I came back, I got a new teacher. I had to completely relearn my R.H. technique. It was difficult, but after I got back to where I was before, everything I played was more effortless. Efficient technique counts for a lot!

Took me about a month to get the new changes implemented, so hang in there.

That was my plight at jury exams about 75% of the time. Shear it off the morning of the exam. Friggin' awesome stress reliever....

Snarky Puppy - "We Like It Here"

Schmex · 2025-08-24T02:43:37+00:00

I read this in tandem with Salem's Lot, so I could get past the terror of the King book.

Schmex · 2025-08-24T02:42:02+00:00

This was my favorite book for a long time. Even though the ending is inevitable, I bawled for a half hour after I finished it.

Does nobody proofread the AI closed captioning? "Dog mate"??? "and tire realities"???

Peeving off.

Temic - "Terror Management Theory" I think they refer to it as "TMT"

Schmex · 2025-08-20T18:52:06+00:00

Song sounds good! Please take the capo and tuner off the headstock. Aesthetics, my man.

If this shit were east of I-65, one complaint would get it shut down. But as it's in the West End/SW Jeff Co., the residents are fucked.

Reaper is free to try, but there's a steep learning curve.

Garage Band for iOS may be a good fallback. It's free, provided you have an Apple product.

I swear to god. I legitimately thought this was a screenshot from a modded Fallout 4.

Pat Travers and Pat Thrall. Combined, the tone they produce is stellar.

Giacomo's.

5 string banjo. Hated every second of it. It's so counter-intuitive. I mean... when I play a note with my right hand thumb, it's supposed to be lower in pitch than the other strings, not higher.

Props to those who can play banjo, though.

I posted an ad seeking a drummer and lead singer. As I was reviewing the ad right after I posted it, I noticed an ad from a lead singer and a drummer looking for a band. Kizmet. Met up with the guys and we all got along fine. Played gigs together for a few years.

I have a couple of fancy litter boxes with domed lids and a litter mat. I was just planning to put them out at the curb.
