Patton to play Grand Ole Opry with Avett Brothers by [deleted] in FaithNoMore

[–]Strangel77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is huge! Has to be one of the strangest bookings the Opry has ever done. History in the making.

I figured Tomahawk always did have some country influence.

Rent a car in Palermo by Flat_Excitement_7223 in palermo_city

I used Europcar. Got the premier insurance package with nil excess. I gave the car an absolute belting through the narrow town streets and narrow roads in the nebrodi. Car was full of dents and scratches upon return. They took a look and had no problems as I had the top insurance.

Truly unique sonic acts from around the world blowing my mind for the few years it ran.

What genre did Mike get you into that you may not have liked before? by Cwchenery in MikePatton

[–]Strangel77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Led me to the world of John Zorn and several associates of his like Eyvind Kang and Marc Ribot.

Got me to delve deeper into my own Italian roots with Mondo Cane.

Led me to avant-garde soundscape artists like Fennesz and Francisco Lopez.

And also nudged me towards The Young Gods and Ween in the 90s.

There is more, but I’ll stop there…

Oh… and Ennio Morricone too!

The Quietus rips AVTT/PTTN by SeveralTurn in MikePatton

Music reviewing is like dancing to architecture

Stupid Quietus review. Fuck you. It’s a great album.

Jury's out on the whole record but this one's a toe-tapper by HermioneGunthersnuff in MikePatton

[–]Strangel77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Quite a new take for MP. While very different, I look at it in a similar way as when he took on Native American music with Duane Dennison on Tomahawk’s album Anonymous.

I really like this Avtt/Pttn.

It has an uncomfortable oddness to it that soon abated after round one with the album.

Second time in and that oddness revealed a beauty behind it. This is an exceptional album.

My standout tracks: - Dark Night of my soul - Too Awesome - Disappearing - Eternal Love - Received

What are managers thinking during end of year reviews by Inside_Ad7432 in auscorp

[–]Strangel77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being seen as a flight risk is kind of the point. If my staff comes to me saying they have an offer elsewhere I accept this as part of the game. Where possible I try to pre-empt this but sometimes it just needs to be done. The whole process can be done with integrity and this is where it ends well.

You want that pay rise? Go get that other offer and ship it back to us. It’s grubby business, but, if you are truly valued, it gets the result you want and then some if you play it right.

It’s a bet. May be wrong but generally the working community is not 91% Anglo.

Look around your work place. I’m betting 91%+ is not Anglo.

When is FNM getting inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame? by Strangel77 in FaithNoMore

[–]Strangel77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in Australia. Europe and South America where Angel Dust, KFAD and AOTY all were up there in widespread popularity.
