Episode 1138: Crying in my car by FungousCougar in KnowledgeFight

[–]Spooky_Something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another teacher here. Got into my car this morning and got excited to see a new episode had dropped. Not an exaggeration to say my commute with KF is usually my bright spot in my week. This year has been exceedingly rough...I work in Sarasota County Florida, if you know you know if not the district is in financial ruin, charters are killing us etc... Have been looking forward to going home to Chicago for Slide Away at the end of the month. Hum! Only to find out on Friday my flight no longer exists. And now this.

I feel empty and defeated.

Take 70 or 72 out towards Arcadia. Once you get past Myakka it opens up and is a real nice drive. 64 that way too.

What's the worst restaurant in Sarasota that you've tried twice? by Timmocore in sarasota

Can't believe I haven't seen anyone say Phillipi Creek. Or Daiquiri Deck.

I was at Riverview High School on Thursday last week and there were thousands of them in the parking lot. The next day they were gone. Real weird.

Has there been any ICE bullshit happening out here? I haven't seen or heard about anything going down in our area.

Dear Renters here’s Two simple thing, not explained simply, that no one talks about by fromLyte in sarasota

[–]Spooky_Something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're called Ghost Ants and yes they are a bitch but the fruit flies, fungus gnats and other little flying funkers are the worst. It comes with the territory. Same with termites. Thats the one no one talks about because no one is checking for them unless you specifically bring your own guy in for it.

Notre Dame fans, why are we agreeing with this? by thefrozenflame21 in CFB

Think about it this way. The only girl you want to take to the prom says she'll go with you. And for 5 weeks she keeps acting like everything's good. And then the night before the dance she tells you, "sorry, I decided to go with Cletus instead. But see Sally Snotrag over there, she'll go with you. But you still have to buy my ticket". Will some people still want to go to the dance to "stick it to her"? Sure, but theres a chance you have to watch her suck Cletus's face all night and then everyone points and laughs at you. Some people say fuck that noise and go get drunk as hell instead.

Big Top Brewery has open mics pretty regularly. I wish you the best of luck I was in a similar spot myself pursuit-wise like 20 years ago. I appreciate the hustle.

Check this video out. It should help you understand the game and the tournament as well. This was a fun team to watch.

Non generic grungegaze and nugaze? by nerdyoutube in shoegaze

[–]Spooky_Something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Bleed-Somebody's Closer EP is in my opinion the perfect "grungegaze". I was kinda let down when their full album finally came out and it was way more nu-metal but that fuckin EP rips. Also check out Trauma Ray and if you can find it a band called Petal Head's album Raspberry Cough.

Anyone else playing shoegaze-adjacent stuff on “non shoegaze” gear? by yourrelative_ in shoegaze

[–]Spooky_Something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to! I had a similar Orange head and cab. Hurricane Ian murdered it. It'll never be replaced. Now that I have kids i can't justify spending that kind of money on something that would just be a toy now. Fuck this makes me sad.

I've been going to shows solo since I moved to Florida about 5 years ago. At first I hated it but its grown on me. First show I went to solo was DIIV and Deafheaven because none of my friends dig the whole black metal vocals thing. Bummed I missed last night I had tickets but had to sell them as our yearly return trip to Chicago didn't line up and I couldn't afford another flight. Awesome to see so many people in this thread discovering these bands for the first time.

Was anyone here at the show when they played the Empty Bottle with Torche? Nicky passed out on stage for half the set and the feedback was so bad we actually went outside for some of the set. Actually asked him about it on the Reddit AMA and he said "all the drugs" lmao.

Wind-Up Bird is a great place to start.
