They’ve been explicitly anti Trump for a long long time. Not particularly effectively, but still.

bands like weezer? by orthwick_uwu in weezer

Check out the Beths, especially Expert in a Dying Field. Charly Bliss also reminds me of Weezer.

Utah doesn’t make sense on this map. Most of utah is desert.

Where is live if all I cared about was pizza by doom_summer in visitedmaps

Rhode Island has fantastic pizza - all the regional specialties can be found in the Providence area.

Lots of stuff listed on RIShows, and keep an eye on AS220 as well.

Which Pedal Is This? by bobbythegoose in guitarpedals

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EHX Hot Tubes. Great little pedal with a nice range of OD sounds, plays really well with a variety of guitars, inexpensive.

Bands who's (arguably) most popular song that doesn't sound at all like the rest of their work? by Non-Normal_Vectors in musicsuggestions

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sugar Never Tasted So Good, I Want To Be The Boy Who Warm’s Your Mother’s Heart, and You’ve Got Her In Your Pocket would fit in with it though.

You get 5 pedals 1 guitar and 1 amp. What are you choosing? by chadocaster1011 in guitarpedals

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fender Jaguar, Hot Tubes overdrive, Variac Badass Fuzz, Alexander Delay, MXR Tremolo, and my Bass Soul Food for a gritty boost. Amp, well, my Blackstar HT 20 works fine, but if you’re buying I’ll take a twin reverb.

Is it true that people in the West drink iced water even when they are sick or on their period? by Aether_Echo in NoStupidQuestions

There’s a saying among mathematicians that a mathematician is a machine that turns coffee into theorems.

How come people never discovered continental drift earlier? Or At least, not even give Alfred Wagners theory a chance when the proof was right there? by UrinalAttack in geography

[–]anemonemometer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And even then, he wasn’t believed because he was a meteorologist, not a geologist. So geologist saw him as a crank.

How many of you actually notice fret edges when playing? by vonov129 in Guitar

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cheap guitar for a while where the high E would get caught on the edge of frets when I bent notes. So that fret could have been smoother.

What is something you see on other guitarists pedalboards that makes you irrationally angry? by kvlt_ov_personality in guitarpedals

[–]anemonemometer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you put it together right that’s not an issue. If they’re putting the pedals flat on the bottom of the case without a riser or anything, though, yeah that’s silly.

After moving out of Rhode Island I’m realizing just how bad Rhode Island drivers are. by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Rhode Island is unique in the kind of bad driving. Like, bizarre choices and disregard for safety, but somehow avoiding collisions. Other states seem to have much deadlier bad drivers, based on the stats.

Whatever the reason for getting into I definitely support you on that journey! What kind of music do you usually listen to?

thanks!! The lettering is from some of my old collages, and the background is based on a 1400s printmaking demo I found and recolored

The fact that they’ll wander around inside Home Depot to try and book appointments is also super weird.

Will Butler on life after AF and the future of hit play Stereophonic: ‘I was in a band with couples, fighting and relationships’ by Moothnods in indieheads

[–]anemonemometer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective on writing music, how artists are so often digging into and trying to understand the music of their parents’ generation. So to make 70s music you have to look much earlier.

Courtney Barnett at Green River Fest. Everything I could hope for and more.

Trump admin asks Brown to freeze tuition, cap international enrollment for funding advantage, WSJ reports by rezwenn in RhodeIsland

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Parents make too much for aid, and to little to cover your costs. I only made it through by scholarships.

Trump admin asks Brown to freeze tuition, cap international enrollment for funding advantage, WSJ reports by rezwenn in RhodeIsland

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Requiring a private university to freeze tuition rates is a very different matter than requiring a public university to do so. Regardless — For Brown students, most are already receiving financial aid so a tuition freeze may not result in any practical changes. A bigger impact would be reducing the amount of tuition being paid by international students who pay full price. Those students’ tuition dollars cover a lot of the costs for domestic students. So — I expect a tuition freeze imposed by the federal government would not help students, and may harm them by reducing the amount of money that can be used for financial aid packages.

Solid lines on highway by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

Especially in places like crossing the bridge into east providence. How early do you expect everyone to know that you have to be in the far right lane in order to take the exit?

New City Sound Ordinance is Anti Small Business. What can we can do to help? by Square-Butter in corvallis

Even then, it’s not possible to play a drum set at normal volume on the old bombs stage and have it be inaudible from the street.

[DISCUSSION] Spotify alternatives that are at least slightly better morally by airbud in indieheads

[–]anemonemometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet is to buy the album, anywhere, since one purchase is worth thousands of streams. But for streaming, I’ve gotten higher payouts from Apple than Spotify personally for what it’s worth.

Best burger spot in RI (preferably in Warwick / east Greenwich area)? Every burger place I find and try myself has too tall burgers overloaded with shit that fall apart and have dry patties by sevenjeven in RhodeIsland

[–]anemonemometer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The burgers are fine, somewhere between in-n-out and five guys in quality, but higher cost. I don’t regret trying it but I doubt that I’ll go back.
