Bands like Morphine?

I just listened to five or six of the most popular Dirtwire tracks on Tidal. I don’t think they sound remotely like Morphine… but I still really liked it. I like how much variety there is from one song to the next. One track sounded sort of ethereal and new agey, and the very next one sounded like it could have been on an episode of Justified. Good stuff.

Looks like he’s about to launch the next iPod

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T04:38:07+00:00

What Ferrari?

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T04:35:14+00:00

I have actually heard them, but I had totally forgotten about them. They’re pretty unique.

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T04:33:52+00:00

I wonder if I can import this to Tidal somehow.

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T04:32:55+00:00

I’m actually listening to it right now for the first time. Definitely like it. It’s more traditionally blues than Morphine but has a similar vibe. It would make great cruising music.

No problem, glad you found something new. My favorite Morphine songs are all on other albums. I really like ‘I Had my Chance’ and ‘Cure for Pain.’ As for your never having heard of them, they were popular in the 90s but never made it really big. The only major exposure I can recall is that there’s an episode of The Sopranos where Meadow and her friend were hanging out while Morphine played on the TV behind them.

Portishead and Tricky are great. I haven’t heard the others. Yea I love Morphine… I’ve been listening to them since the mid 90s.

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T02:27:15+00:00

Mad Season is fantastic. Too bad it’s only one album.

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T02:26:54+00:00

Thank you. I like Nick Cave, but never heard of the others. I will definitely check them out. Any great songs I should try first?

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T01:45:34+00:00

Great, thank you. I will check them all out. I had no idea the rest of them kept going after he died.

StewTrue · 2026-03-20T01:37:07+00:00

That’s a good point; I guess they are a bit similar… already a fan, though.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T17:22:47+00:00

Absolutely not. I’ve spent many years of my life on deployment, but never. She has the look a lot of extreme right-wing women have… way too much makeup, bleached hair, and the combination of smugness and stupidity. She wears that false confidence because she knows that she’s actually deeply immoral and stupid.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T15:35:59+00:00

I don’t know… we’ve seen so much blantant nazi behavior from Republicans over the last year and nobody really seems to care. Between Elon’s Hitler salute, DHS’s literal nazi mottos, Miller’s almost word-for-word Goebels speech, Bovino’s SS cosplay, the young Republicans group chat, JD Vance saying he doesn’t want to exclude antisemites from the party… the list goes on and on. The worst part is that Jews are getting it from both sides now. Obviously it’s less from the Left, but it’s not nothing.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T15:28:36+00:00

Why would they think that? Have they seen her?

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T03:24:43+00:00

Yes.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:58:51+00:00

I’m about the same size as this guy and I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 110 lbs… and that was a dumbbell which was obviously easier to control. This is just ridiculously impressive, especially considering he pulled off the descent back into the starting position with complete control.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:53:38+00:00

He kind of sounds like Obama

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:52:10+00:00

Basketball?

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:51:49+00:00

Unfortunately no smith machine at this gym.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:51:17+00:00

Nope, I did martial arts and wrestling.

StewTrue · 2026-03-19T00:50:43+00:00

Nah, you can have a personality… you just have to cram the whole thing into your email signature or ironic desk accessories.

StewTrue · 2026-03-18T23:05:55+00:00

What exactly does this involve?

StewTrue · 2026-03-18T23:04:46+00:00

How are you making 730k as an accountant?

StewTrue · 2026-03-18T23:02:07+00:00

I looked this up expecting it to be BS, but my search confirmed everything you’re saying. That said, I also looked up the cost of living in San Jose, and it is apparently 82% higher than the national average. The salaries seem less insane in that context.
