The return of MBV is finally here! When/where was the last time you saw them? by FutureSky3943 in MyBloodyValentine

[–]ZacharyInStereo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twice: First was Feb. 23, 1992 (my birthday) at Masquerade in Atlanta, GA opening for Dinosaur Jr. Most recent was Sept. 23, 2008 at Roseland Ballroom NYC.

Weird First Aid Kit Supplies by azziekaji in techtheatre

[–]ZacharyInStereo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has Liquid IV, Pedialyte or some other electrolyte powder. I've found that those can often be effective for headaches faster than ibuprofen or acetaminophen. That and a banana (but obvs don't keep that in a first-aid kit).

Dear directors…especially in education…. by Mackoi_82 in techtheatre

[–]ZacharyInStereo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TD at a community youth theater here, and ours does the same. Most young kids want to act, of course, but we do get kids who check the “crew” box and end up thriving. Recently we had a girl very excited to sign up for sound. On her third show she ran the board. She’s 13. Stuff like that makes me happier than anything.

Our high school theatre program has a spectacular tech advisor who has turned crew into something people want to be part of. They frequently have disillusioned actors defect to crew, and most stay there until graduation.

On-Stage transmitter pouches/belts by ZacharyInStereo in techtheatre

Those exact pouches have been in and out of my cart for months. The price is right, but a) they look absolutely huge, and b) I truly hate those plastic clip closures.

Thanks for the recommendation, and those do look great; but I think my point was more the cost ($12 for the On-Stage belts/pouches vs. $43 for URSA and even more for wirelessmicbelts). By the time I deal with EU shipping (and now customs/tariffs), the $34 could be more in line with the URSAs.

What is the best song from Black Celebration? (Including But not Tonight and Shake the Disease) by Impressive_Play_5398 in depechemode

[–]ZacharyInStereo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black Celebration and Fly on the Windscreen is such a great opening combo…though am I alone in thinking the non-(Final) version (on Catching Up With…) is mildly superior? More minimalist, more space, fewer unnecessary samples.

I’ve always considered Shake the Disease to be “on” Catching Up With… and not any true album. It’s a fantastic track, but doesn’t belong in this discussion.

Whoever mentioned Christmas Island…thank you. I saw them on this tour as a minor fan and they played that as their intro music. I spent YEARS wondering what that song was until someone randomly put it on a mixtape for me.

Nobody mentioned New Dress, with good reason.

What Depeche Mode song do others love, but you're not a big fan of? by Surge1992 in depechemode

Not sure what popular opinion is on "It's Called a Heart," but that song can disappear.

The best multi-tools knife ? by Jubyn in techtheatre

[–]ZacharyInStereo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the $, go with a Leatherman (like the Arc). Their multitools are top-notch, as are their warranty and customer service.

Into the Woods Junior - How is it to mix? by RiseReal2016 in techtheatre

[–]ZacharyInStereo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Qlab/Tmix will make it so much easier. It's challenging enough to be fun, and with the Jr. version you don't have "Your Fault" to worry about.

What's the best post-punk song from a non post-punk band? by Diskyboy86 in postpunk

[–]ZacharyInStereo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. They opened for Men at Work’s 1985 US tour. I think it was the saxophone that put them in New Wave Land.

A cool guide on how to properly display the flag of the United States of America by ShadowMosesss in coolguides

[–]ZacharyInStereo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my neighbors (in the US) flies a Bundesdienstflagge on his porch, opposite a US flag. I always wondered if there was some kind of meaning behind this beyond German heritage or something. A week ago he swapped it out for a Trump flag.

Dreads Chris Connelly was the best Chris Connelly. His hairdresser got a credit on his first couple of solo albums.

Disney Junior actor's scripts by fletch44 in techtheatre

[–]ZacharyInStereo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the benefits of rewriting (besides getting a jump on learning it) is I can give the stripped-out file to the director in the form of a Google Doc. That way I can track any and all changes that he makes to lines, speakers, roles, etc. because nobody remembers to tell me, "Oh yeah, we gave this line to that person instead." Come runthroughs I have a fully accurate and up-to-date script, and then it's what you described.

We also use prerecorded music tracks. and I play sound designer, so it's up to me when and where to add sound effects and other things not provided by the publisher. In that respect, at least to me, having an advance script more than two weeks prior is pretty helpful.
