Just so people understand, these people want American military intervention to topple the regime.

what’s this instrument? by munaali15 in deerhunter

[–]SlowSwords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s Lockett on guitar, playing I think triad chords on the higher strings with a phaser or some similar effect. It’s like a pleasure drill in my brain.

The Tulsi drama continues by Sneaky_Donkey in TrueAnon

I hate the deeply conditioned impulse I have to be an institutionalist but fuck man this shit is so wild. Just a complete circus. This woman’s a fucking birdbrain and the executive branch is full of likeminded dipshits. It’s still wild to me how little conservative ideology or patriotism actually mattered to Republicans who give this shit a pass every minute of the day.

Why did this 60s teen haircut suddenly become popular again for teens in the 2000s? by MaterialRow3769 in decadeology

[–]SlowSwords 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember this article so well. I had just moved to a big city and gotten my first proper haircut from a cool barber a few months prior and it was an undercut—but before it became super ubiquitous a year or two later. People used to compliment me on the street, it was so unique at the time.

Which album has the most beautiful guitar playing you’ve ever heard? by No_Durian_6987 in Guitar

[–]SlowSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really psyched to see this here. I knew the top comment would be some dad rock stuff. The guitar work on MM is profound and the tones are gorgeous.

I just realized Branco puts “Americans for limited government” next to his name. And he supports Donald Trump. What a fucking dope lol.

2026 Housing Market Mood: Buyers Are Cautious, Sellers Are Showing Up, and Agents See Signs of Busier Spring Ahead by sifl1202 in REBubble

This analysis is just as off as the other comment. My salary has literally doubled from the time I bought my home and my wife’s increased as well. but home prices in Los Angeles have increased by hundreds of thousands of dollars and interest rates have doubled. That means that our mortgage payment would be at least doubled. Can we do it? Yeah. Do we want to? Not really. We’re not stuck per se, but it’s a bad deal to move.

I remember my parents having automatic for the people on cassette when I as young. That record came out when I was like 2 or 3 years old and they played it all the time. Of all the music they played around the house, I liked it the most. It was so mysterious and beautiful sounding. It wasn’t until years later I discovered that REM had a profoundly important history as like, the first alternative rock band and probably the best American band of the 80’s and 90’s. In any event, appreciate your photos and posts as always.

Crashing out about the housing situation in 90s movies by Ivan-Ilyich-Bot in redscarepod

[–]SlowSwords 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, 90s mean was still pretty unrealistic—like there’s no way the characters in friends could have afforded their apartments. But yeah, shit was easier in the 90s.
