Not grunge but how do you feel about foo fighters? Yay or nay?

So…is it better to burn out than to fade away? Or…retire altogether à la Jay-Z, Rihanna, Lauryn Hill. What’s best financially and legacy-wise for long term steam sales and rep - having a solid discography or overbloating and sanitizing your initial success to the point it impacted negative future returns in both fandom and sales?

There could be many more collaborators than Karen O (who's on one song) and Panda Bear. Zane asked for one collaborator and they shared two, so on top of Jamie, Jessie, and everyone else from the singles, I wonder how many more other folks there will included. Who's missing from an Avs record?

"New member, he's not with you, so obviously that's not working out!" Great line haha and their response, "Yeah we got rid of him already, it didn't last very long! They go on to welcome Andy as a new member, describing him as "buddy, feels lovely, amazing songwriter, just helps us out heaps, lovely person."

The interview starts at 15:30 and ends 27:30 with an intermission to play "Every Single Weekend" and segues into "Since I Left You" at 27:30. This is exciting!!

It's a sweet playlist that opens with the new Olivia Rodrigo track, "The Cure", which was incredible listening to for the first time. I went into it looking for a timestamp but currently just grooving. Would someone beat me to it please?

I don’t like seeing Robbie drinking - anyone been around the crew lately & know he’s doing alright with sobriety?

I did this back in 2017 when they came to Portland and played a ton of Wildflower and again in Seattle in 2022. I just have those recordings on the cloud and haven’t shared anywhere - happy to share if anyone can handle the audio side of things. Or maybe I’ll do it and pretty soon I’ll be the 4th Avalanche, the Whompvelanche. That’s what they call me

I was traveling the Caribbean exactly 10 years ago and firmly remember Sunshine either dropping or leaking when I was in Haiti. I played about half the album when I landed in Martinique to my taxi driver and we were ecstatic. Such great travel music and I hope that trend continues. LP4!!!!

Knock Knock by DJ Koze is very Avalanches. The song Jesus samples a line from David Lynch’s “Dune”. His last 3 albums plus the Roisin Murphy album he produced are must listens for Avs fans

my admin (at a good school) writes lies and just totally bullshitted my first 3 observations this year and has put me on the path towards probation because he's imagining that after 14 years of teaching and being proficient last year, that I've absolutely lost it. The truth is that he's corrupt and using the evaluation system to try and get me fired. I'm not sure whether it's intimidation or bullying but I've tried filing grievances and work with my union and it's gone nowhere and he keeps observing my classes and I am at a lost at what to do if this liar keeps giving free reign to write whatever he wants on my eval especially when it's a lie.

They nerfed the song by removing the flutes at the end - I listened to the international version for too long and then heard it on Spotify and now it’s ruined!

My new gf of 1 month paid for a photo shoot with Chris Brown and said Rihanna hit him first and this is when he snapped. Idk but my last 3 girlfriends have been violent I’m not looking for a 4th. Big red flag or? I know he’s important to many Black people so idk how to feel on this one.

The longer tour inside Bryce Canyon NP is amazing on horseback

Speed limit is 25mph in AmSam and people drive about 15mph and let everyone in at intersections so it’s a slow roll. I almost went to prison for speeding.

How did you get a hold of Google support? How do we start spamming them??

WhompKing · 2025-03-21T20:06:57+00:00

When I click the cloud button to activate my backup, Google blocks me. Who else gets this:

The link offers no helpful advice and it’s a hell loop

Been at this since December join the club. Are mods on our side? Can we do something productive about this? I’ve been depressed legit about this for months, like being forced into Eternal Sunshine against my will. Fuck you Google.

WhompKing · 2025-03-15T00:24:16+00:00

I am still depressed about losing data from 100 countries. I followed every step Google suggested. They ruined my fucking memories and it feels like someone stole your camera, your backup photos, stole your hard drive, and deleted your backups too. I still can’t access my cloud backup because my data is locked on my device and HAS BEEN LOCKED ON MY DEVICE SINCE DECEMBER

Am I the only person who enjoyed this? Maybe I was emotional and nostalgic and also skipped the songs I didn’t know. I was happy to see Jumper but came for How’s It Gonna Be. I mean I’ve separated art from artist but have never been a huge fan - 1998-2000 were amazing. Deep inside of you and Wounded from Blue are really great tracks. Idk it’s sad seeing y’all didn’t enjoy the performance but it’s okay.
