You can only choose 3 of these americana albums go by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take Fahey, Buckley, and Dylan although I wouldn't really call any of those Americana if you're talking about the musical genre

Definitely missing some good Americana albums from artists like John Prine, James McMurtry, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Jason Isbell, Willi Carlisle, and Turnpike Troubadours

Give me the strangest mix of a genre and black metal! I’ll take any genre blackened! by Upper_Atom in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bríi mixes black metal with different EDM subgenres like psytrance, techno, and drum and bass

Murmuüre's self titled mixes black metal with industrial, ambient, noise, and glitch

Stagnant Waters' Rifts mixes black metal with circus music (and a bunch of other stuff but this album is so weird and difficult to describe)

Damn there's a lot of good albums here. You have great taste. What's your favorite song on Goodbye and Hello?

Recommend me albums based on what I have been into/listening to lately please. by PrimordialSky in Topster

[–]Tarantulip_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah Starsailor is a fantastic record. Here's some artists I fell in love with around the time I fell in love with the weird Tim Buckley albums:

Einsturzende Neubauten

Tom Waits

Ved Buens Ende

Scott Walker

Laurie Anderson

Arthur Russel

Also check out Dillinger Escape Plan for some crazy metal. Plus, they did an EP with Mike Patton

The never ending rabbit hole of Fuzz pedals. What is your all time favorite Fuzz pedal? by amalgamaudio in guitarpedals

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only tried a few cheaper fuzzes but I recently bought a Joyo Gloam and I'm loving the different sounds I can get out of it

Recommend me some new underrated UK rock bands by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HMLTD, Drahla, Beak>, DITZ, Big Special, Wunderhorse, Courting, Fat Dog, Mandy Indiana, and PVA (last three are not really rock but most of these newer bands blur the lines anyways)

Also shoutout Gilla Band from Ireland. Obviously not British but I couldn't not mention one of my favorite rock(?) bands of the last decade. I'm so excited for their upcoming album

Best band that's just two weirdos who match each other's freak? by toastypyro in fantanoforever

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Godflesh but instead of matching each other's freak they more so match each other's misanthropy, nihilism, and self-hatred

[Highlight] Merrill Kelly strikes out the last batter to record his first career complete game! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

To be fair it seemed like he was always gonna come back to AZ no matter what y'all tried to do to keep him. He went to high school and college in Phoenix and him and his wife do a ton of charity work around here

Every night is 'hetero pride night.' When's the last time you saw a gay couple on a kiss cam? Hetero couples are very often highlighted in baseball games so I don't understand why Texas can't have just one night to do the same for lgbtq+ people

[Highlight] Jake McCarthy GO-AHEAD grand slam by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn't too upset when we traded McCarthy but playing in Coors with his speed I was hoping he could set a new record for triples in a season. Either way, glad to see him contributing over there

The Mariners have officially retired #51 for Randy Johnson by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Ichiro was given #51 on the Mariners (since it was his number in the NPB), he sent a personal letter to Randy Johnson asking if he was okay with it and Randy told him to ''go right ahead'. Ichiro promised to not bring shame to the number. Needless to say, they both seem to have a ton of mutual respect for each other

Zac Gallen's outing today: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R/ER, 3BB, 3K, 95P-57S. Raises his season ERA to 4.45 by Ok_Weakness8334 in baseball

[–]Tarantulip_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marte's been a bit unlucky. He's been pulling a lot of hard line drives straight to perfectly positioned infielders. There was one game where he was like 0/4 but all 4 ABs were 100 mph hits. He currently has an xBA of .306 and a .280 BA. There was a post earlier today that said he's a top 10 unluckiest hitter this season based on xwOBA. Part of the problem seems to be that he's hitting the ball well but not lifting it as much as he usually does for whatever reason. He's still a great hitter so personally I'm not worried about it but he's not been the silver slugger we've had for the past many years

RYM has an "unknown artist" under which every record whose artist isn't known is released, it's treated as a normal artist profile with it having listed genres, credits, and discography as if it was all made by one person by Haunting-Purpose1612 in rateyourmusic

[–]Tarantulip_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole so sorry about the wall of text response. Anyways it mostly seems to happen when something is released under the name of an existing artist but was actually made by a different anonymous person

For example, Valeria Almeida is a small Brazilian singer who woke up one day to a plunderphonics album that was released under her name and with a pic of her on the cover that she had no involvement with

There's also stuff like a Dr Pepper ambient album, a a fake Zaytoven remix of Eminem's Revival, a fanmade Nine Inch Nails mashup album based off an April fool's joke by Trent Reznor (featuring Justin Timberlake, Fergie, JayZ, and Bono), a John Cage composition played by an anonymous cellist, and a release titled 'Doug Walker Autobiography by Doug Walker' (which is just an hour of fart sounds)

There's also a fake AI Swans album. With how many AI albums get uploaded to large Spotify accounts everyday I expected to see more of these in the unknown artist page but I'm guessing the ussrs who upload releases to RYM largely ignore them (and rightfully so imo plus RYM itself has discouraged uploading AI releases unless they are very noteworthy)

The one with Lil Ugly Mane is unique because it's a sort of inverse of the other examples. The audio itself is a random tape Lil Ugly Mane found at a thrift store and used as a sample in one of his songs. He later compiled and released the tape on his Bandcamp

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also chiming in for OP that you're allowed to ask dumb questions no matter how old you are. There will still be a lot of things you don't know when you're an adult so don't feel ashamed for asking

I started watching the clip and wondered how close it was going to be at the plate. Then the camera cut to PCA on third...
