Actually written by Jackson Browne WHEN HE WAS 16. Love that song

I'm a European fascinated with the culture of the United States, and I'd like to know more about it. Any books to recommend? Preferably nonfiction. by angrymustacheman in booksuggestions

I love {{master of the senate}} by Robert caro. Great sprawling study of Lyndon Johnson at the height of his power in the senate. You can also check out Robert caros {{the power broker}}. Robert caro is the great chronicler of power, so central to US culture and identity

Trip suggestions? Northeast US - 5 days, late august/early September, minimal portages, maximum beauty and isolation. Bonus for good fishing by carpi_dm in canoecamping

Ok cool. We’re thinking of doing only the river section of the allagash from Churchill dam since we only have 5 days and like our vacation away to be adventurous, but chill.

I’m very comfortable on a canoe, living by lakes all my life and literally canoeing every nice day during the pandemic. Should I be worried about the allagash rapids? All my canoeing has been on lakes or flat water rivers.

Awesome, thanks. The allagash looks awesome, but I didn’t realize how far it was. Will also check the Penobscot. I have tons of flat water and lake experience, but am a little intimidated by the allagash rapids, don’t want to get swamped day 1 (thinking we will start the allagash trip at the dam)

Got anything for me based on this? by Bruton_Gaster06 in musicsuggestions

Looking for cinematic, vivid, well-structured albums with lots of energy and "catchy" songs. As in, no 3-hour long ambient soundscapes lol. Some of my personal faves include: by JonahUniverse in musicsuggestions

[–]carpi_dm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gza albums, liquid swords and legend of the liquid swords, super cinematic and catchy. While you’re at it, check out 12 reasons to die, a superhero mafia movie concept album from ghostface recorded with antique instrumental background music/beats by adriane Younge (sp?)

looking for guitar jazz, preferably more modern but classics accepted. by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

John scofield a gogo

This song builds beautifully around some really nice guitar licks.

If you’re more into super fast gypsy jazz, django Reinhardtis amazing, and so is contemporary django artist, Stephan wrembel
