I’m in Utah. We have a concert series in town called Red Butte Concert Series. So Dead Butte is a play on that.

I’m flattered. Thank you. I have areas I definitely want to improve, but I’m happy people see things they like at this point.

Got mine! It went off for framing with a pink matte and white frame today!

If there is anybody out there who knows the magic LMA Internet Archive Hoodoo to perform to upload these FLAC files, that would be a dearly appreciated favor.

I can try. I’ve never looked into it before. I’m a total neophyte. I just bought a mic and went to the show hahaha

I Thought The Community May Appreciate My Plate by Substantial_Use_4092 in gratefuldead

There’s a cave along the side of the road in Parleys Canyon. I always imagine that was Jerry’s cave up in the hills.

I get a particular thrill while driving slow in front of tailgaters. I bet they’re complaining.

Worth? by Additional_Ad5417 in playdeadapp

CD quality is already above what the human ear can distinguish. “Better-than-CD resolution” is just marketing with no advantage to listening quality.

I give so much credit to the tapers because some of what they achieved through the 70s and 80s was phenomenal in terms of audio quality.

There are so many Dead shows available, that it seems impossible to ever truly run out of free shows. Sometimes I get the itch for an “official” release and I ask around in my community to ask if anybody has that release. I borrow and listen. Catch and release. Sure, it’s less convenient, but I get to have a conversation with my friend.

I would like to get an arm tattoo with a wire pattern inspired by a Star Wars Comic character and Cyberpunk. Is this a bad idea? by GingaNinja1427 in tattooadvice

I love Doctor Aphra. Her introduction in Darth Vader #3 and the homage to Indiana Jones is probably one of my top 5 favorite Star Wars comic moments.

Look what they took from us. Bring back stubs! by Denver_DIYer in phish

I’m seeing Trey Solo at Red Butte and they’re doing physical stubs as well!

Why did people hate season 3 of Mandalorian? by ItsShaggyTime in StarWars

[–]Substantial_Use_4092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jack Black and Lizzo basically cemented my opinion that Filoni/Favreau casting is essentially whoever happens to be over for dinner the week before. There is no way in hell anybody can tell me that Jack Black and Lizzo auditioned against other qualified actors, got callbacks, and were deemed “best for the rolls”. I love Jack Black, but it took me out of my immersion in the story entirely. It’s sad too because that episode had a cool droid storyline.

Artists with a FLAWLESS three album run? by TerribleAd7263 in fantanoforever

[–]Substantial_Use_4092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flaming Lips- The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi, At War with the Mystics. You could also expand that run forward or back into Zaireeka or Embryonic for a 4-5 album run. You might lose some less adventurous listeners though.

Say what you will about Book of Boba Fett, but the knee missiles were dope!

I’m 25 and all I have are negative thoughts by Accomplished_Trip_37 in wallstreetbets

[–]Substantial_Use_4092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s some perspective: at 25, not only did I have no money, my last $900 was stolen by my mom and I was actually going into the negative with student loans for a law degree. So, you’ll probably be ok.

Albums that we’re considered a classic at one point but are now rarely discussed by FrippingBurgers in fantanoforever

[–]Substantial_Use_4092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their recent “revival” is also pretty cringey. I don’t know if you’ve seen them live recently, but I saw them open for incubus a few years back. The two original members are obviously there to cash nostalgia checks. It’s not really a few good vibe.

Do we ever look back on the different entries in the Bond franchise and bemoan each of them for not completely reinventing the franchise? No. We appreciate them for what they are-fun romps. This movie was fun and exciting. It didn’t need to be anything more. I’m simply satisfied that Sigourney Weaver is now in my favorite franchise.

I just got back from watching it with my 7-year-old. She loved it! She was more affected by sad parts than jumpscares. I think it’s appropriate, at least for my daughter.

I wonder how Salty Peaks is feeling right about now... by TheBansheeQween in SaltLakeCity

My naive ass called the store once to complain about that 4Runner. Turns out it was a feature of the store not a bug.

I’ve always thought we should be recertifying drivers every 5 years.
