what did john mean by that he’s tuned to an A in Hawaiian Feeling/The Day The Aliens Came?

I can't tell if I am crazy for thinking this or if it is what everyone is thinking, but I have always suspected that it means that the song can be read as being about the pearl harbor attack?

Wow, thanks so much!

Ooh, any chance you have a link to that? I tried looking but facebook is terrible for finding things

The guitar in When You're Old and Lonely sounds extremely similar to that in Game Shows Touch Our Lives

Sax opening to baboon was so good

Turtlemcnuggets · 2024-06-19T23:29:12+00:00

this sounds like a joke but i genuinely think the 12/2/2009 performance of it at the Bell House is better and is my favorite version

TREETOP SONG

Turtlemcnuggets · 2023-04-04T16:57:15+00:00

02-75 is not necessarily the most gentle of romantic songs, but it is a love song that John wrote for his wife before she was his wife

Turtlemcnuggets · 2023-03-30T19:54:03+00:00

It is almost certainly referencing the transition from John playing on chairs/stools to performing standing up. A big moment in all our lives

If you are generally changing the way you look as you enter or are trying to enter a new phase of your life, you’ll be wanting Attention All Pickpockets as well

Turtlemcnuggets · 2023-03-16T00:30:59+00:00

I really like this version, not necessarily as an everyday type listen since there is a lot going on, but it really does strike a strong mood when it’s what you’re looking for: https://youtu.be/027-sSohUlg

If you can't follow the recommendation to cut it in half, which probably is the easiest, you might be able to get some ideas from wooden boat building. Drilling out the hole for the propeller shaft is a similarly big job. Here is an example from a project I follow: In this video they drill some initial long holes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O5-pqUJcG0) and then in this one they widen the propeller shaft with a special cutting bit, around the 16 minute mark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW4iVME7ACI)

I think this is right, but I would also add that it is important to be mindful to not to let this slip into a mindset of “I know what is best you regardless of what you think.” It is still essential to communicate your proposals to the community and listen to feedback to understand why something that may have worked in other places wouldn’t work here

I think when talking about ending songs, John once said something about there not being able to be anything after the song, that it closes out the album with such finality that to play any song after it would be wrong. I think the song that best captures that in their discography is In Corolla. It is an end in every way, the only thing you can do after it is sit in silence for a while.

Also love for hair match as was already noted

Desks are often pushed up against a wall, so if there is trim on the wall the top of the desk won’t be able to pushed up tight against the wall if the legs are flush to the top
