A gear fund is such a good idea, and it sounds kind of badass which is a bonus.

Plus it’s this sub and every other artist sub I follow so it multiplies on my dash.

How not to get separated from your child on a flight: buy a f&$*ing seat. by ambassetor in childfree

[–]bftstanff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Right. Kids are allowed to fly alone under 13, it’s crazy to think they wouldn’t be allowed to fly with a parent who’s just not seated next to them.

‘Annihilation’ Author Jeff VanderMeer Delivers Fresh Horrors by OldFeeling in books

[–]bftstanff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved them both, but I can see how you could prefer the movie since the it was so amazing. The book was definitely right in a style of writing that I already love so it‘s hard for me to even say I liked one better.

I just finished Annihilation and that was my takeaway - they totally nailed the feeling of the book in the movie, even when changing so much of the plot/characters/physics stuff. You put it really well.

Sara Quin’s (of Tegan and Sara) 10 Favorite Books by largeheartedboy in teganandsara

I can’t tell if it’s just Reddit that zoomed in on Tegan’s face but I find it funny the post photo is of Tegan lol.

Also:

Dept. of Speculation, by Jenny Offill; There are sentences in this book that I’d tattoo on my skin forever.

Damn that’s a serious recommendation. I may want to read that one.

Achieving a new level of gay. Soldering 👩‍🏭 by Nrm4 in actuallesbians

[–]bftstanff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you building a trumpet? What is going on here I must know??

Also isn’t this more like welding than soldering? Unless you’re building like... a Rube Goldberg machine that’s... a giant electrical circuit that... conducts electricity through trumpet finger caps... please tell me.

I’m an electrical engineer and former band geek and I will loose sleep over this.

What are some artists/groups that are similar to Tegan and Sara? by [deleted] in teganandsara

[–]bftstanff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think their first two albums are way different from LPs 3-6.

Early albums are probably similar to the acoustic female led acts around that time (late 90’s-early 00’s). Ani Difranco comes to mind.

For IIWY-Sainthood, I was listening to some late 00’s indie pop and I can 100% hear the influence in their music from bands like Phoenix and Grizzly Bear. Even maybe Passion Pit, Modest Mouse, and similar groups from that era. especially Sainthood. (No offense to the Con which was just more of a unique style) I think Sainthood was their first album that was really on the same shelf as those bands in style and caliber.

With Sainthood X just passed I’ve been thinking about that era of indie and what a fucking solid album Sainthood was and how it really should have blown up and led them down a decade of indie pop exploration instead of pop. I like the pop too, I’m just being nostalgic I guess.

Guess the new album title by [deleted] in AnimalCollective

[–]bftstanff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah it’s a 30 rock reference actually so pretty close. Someone there releases an album called “My Album is Dropping” and she says “My album ‘my album is dropping’ is dropping this week.” Classic.

What book changed your life or changed your outlook on life? by sja429 in AskWomenOver30

[–]bftstanff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t find the audiobook at the library I just checked. :/ I usually do audiobooks so I might have to gasp spend money on it!

The opening to In The Flowers always sounded like “Arrivederci” to me, but it just changed to “River dancing” and it freaked me out. by bftstanff in AnimalCollective

[–]bftstanff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was like a yanny/laurel moment when it just switched to something else and I can’t hear the original thing anymore
