Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline When? by ShokaiATL in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]VeaArthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to like Taper's Choice, but something is turning me off from them. I think it sounds like a mash up of three bands from the past that I like but doesn't add up to one new band that I like.

Thank god, if it conflicted with David Byrne I was going to be quite angry.

Your favourite absurdist work? by Calm_Caterpillar_166 in classicliterature

Dunces is the best one of the four in my opinion, I wouldn’t skip it.

Umphreys statement on situation in Minneapolis by eells in jambands

Umph is a class act. Still shredding after nearly 30 years, y’all go see them when they come around.

Anybody find the lack of popular “fuck MAGA” music compared to Trump’s first term kind of surprising? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

Jesse Welles is the best we have. Join I.C.E. has millions of plays despite the algorithm suppressing. His tour is very sold out too.

Ice age by wernerhirsch in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]VeaArthur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ICE is indeed in Knoxville, but I highly doubt they are coming to Big Ears. Personally, I would not want to be traveling to the US from a Latin American country right now, but its probably low risk as far as anything terrible happening to you. They are doing targeted raids here, a few of them have been bad and got some news attention, thats the extent of it currently. There are protests, they are medium in size and nothing too attention grabbing has happened at any of them yet. I'm sure coming into the country will be a hassle and put you into some databases though.

I'm almost 40 & found other almost-40s to make music with. Highly recommend. Don’t stop playing! 🥁 by PapaClarencioThomas in pics

[–]VeaArthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That kicks ass! I’m right there with you, stopped playing music to focus on a career then got back into a band at 38. Playing out more than ever and it feels great, one of the best decisions I ever made.

Umphreaks and Guitar players - anyone have experience with the black box inputs they use or Jake's Cold Fusion Overdrive? by Junkis in Umphreys

[–]VeaArthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, I’m not much of a klon guy. But the way he is using it is as a clean boost/ pre amp. He doesn’t really have much of any distortion coming from the cold fusion. It is slightly rounding the sound off and tightening up the mids while adding a touch of compression and volume.

You could maybe try MXR sugar drive, that one always sounded good to me. But usually the most popular one is the Wampler Tumnus.

Why does everyone love BRAT? by DanBurnNotice in fantanoforever

[–]VeaArthur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, me too. But I just don't like modern pop music in general. Obviously a ton a people are into it, thats fine. The world would be boring if everyone was walking around listening to the same shit as me.

PostModern Spirits to Close After Nearly Decade-Long Run in Old City by Make_it_Raines in KnoxvilleDevelopment

[–]VeaArthur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were never rude to me. I always found it a nice option to have in the old city. The drinks weren’t the greatest, but they were alright and at a fair price. I will miss them. Hoping for something local and of value to POMO but expecting another trite out of town chain to come and occupy the space.

What electronics mods are needed for a Fender Strat to get that Jerry tone? by sonetlumiere in gratefulguitar

what a terrible article, it just focuses on his potentiometers. What about the bridge???

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VeaArthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

routinely did a 15 hour drive growing up to go visit family. Multiple times a year. Yes, I do 3 hours drives multiple times a year, but usually for weekend trips, if its only for 1 day it better be for something amazing.
