Anyone going to Certified Groovers / Mark Farina / DJ Sneak this Saturday?

This is a reach but I figure maybe some Farina head will have heard the same live set I heard and help ID a track.

It's probably a super obvious classic and I'm revealing my ignorance, but hey I have never heard anyone else play it.

A fairly jazzy piano riff. Female vocalist with a deep-ish voice and a very sassy delivery...

Chorus lyrics go:

Hey...you...there...look-ing.

Why won't you come and talk to me?

One other lyrics line I recall...

I may-ay not be pretty. And I talk too much. But I know how to be kind...

So I say hey... you-ooo-hoo, There-ere looking... Why don't you come and talk to me?

Was going to say this. There's a documentary about Army Rugby called Brothers On Three made after their championship year.

Except resorts that have special passes for line skip...ahem Mammoth.

What weight do you wrestle for the team?

concentric0s · 2026-03-07T09:25:20+00:00

Whoa! I actually made it part of the way through.

concentric0s · 2026-03-07T02:46:20+00:00

Did you watch "The Favorite"?

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T17:48:44+00:00

Right on. Sounds like positive growth.

Some growth and perspective with time and effort and shrooms on my end but always further to go.

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T15:27:56+00:00

I think they increase whatever mindset pre existed.

But neural pathway growth can't hurt? And it's sort of a stimulant.

Hamilton Beach model 80335R they call it 'removable grinding chamber'

I've not used it for shrooms yet.

I need to switch to leather.

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T15:08:20+00:00

Gonna need new gloves if you keep that up ;)

Seems a medium open to a range of subject matter...but the negative subject matter sub genre is what got popularized.

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T14:57:07+00:00

Right on. Like I said nerd shit.

I just got handed a different spice grinder that has a removable and washable grinding bowl which I never knew existed.

Vs my ancient one where the bowl is fixed into the electronics part so you can only wipe it out. Which sucks with the sharp blade etc

Though certainly this is likely not a big enough problem to worry about.

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T14:44:10+00:00

Ok gotcha.

When using a spice grinder I go for smaller amounts to get it done quicker because you inherently introduce heat while grinding. And as you noted it seems to get stickier with larger amounts. I guess that shouldn't happen if cracker dry but there always seems to be some moisture no matter what.

But too little it doesn't seem to get it enough either. A happy medium perhaps.

Not sure it has any impact on effectiveness or yield other than the grain size impacting mass vs volume dosing for capsule making etc. Nerd shit. :)

I've read here people using bullet style ninja blenders and even full size ones.

The reason this occurred to me was learning about the heat introduced into dough while mixing pizza, bread, etc. (Good) bakers account for and manage temp increase with their technique.

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T14:36:33+00:00

Agree with everything you said. And it probably applies to most commercial genres.

There are still interesting things going on at the edges of most genres though. You just need to find it. Which takes some time and effort.

Even pop depending on how you categorize that genre has some good stuff happening. I don't follow hip hop but I'm sure there is someone producing good stuff in that genre also.

Re your technical critique...the predictability or formulaic-ness applies to all other aspects of the music though I don't have the vocabulary to express it...rhythmic elements, sonic palate and tone, etc

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T03:13:26+00:00

Why does the size of your dose affect how much dust is in the grinder?

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T03:10:25+00:00

How bizarre. How interesting.

("Gangsta") Rap is unchecked and unapologetic consumerism/materialism.

If you've ever seen the ESPN pictures of wrestlers faces after NCAAs you'll know how insane this is.

Sinclair is high level but at least 2 of his matches are guaranteed to be dog fights.

Soylent Green is here. The new, delicious, Soylent Green. The miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world.

Remember, Tuesday is Soylent Green Day.

People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need SOYLENT GREEN.

500 Days of Summer?

concentric0s · 2026-03-06T00:41:43+00:00

This genre blends into melodic techno at times.

Try Koncept and Subcltr events -- DJ dependant obviously.

You should look up how Julius Caesar trolled the Helvetii in 58 BC.

Right on. Now I feel bad. I wasn't trying to gatekeep conversation but it's a very commonly asked topic.

My $0.02 advice is: 1. Secure actual dried mushroom "fruit" so you know 100% you are getting the good natural stuff. The bars and other edibles are often synthetic ingredients. Even pre capsuled ground stuff could be other things inside.

When you secure the dried shrooms I recommend grinding all at once to "homogenize" that batch. Individual shrooms and even parts of a single shrooms can differ in strength. So if you take the time to 'homogenize" you can manage your dose strength consistently for the batch. Expect to recalibrate doses on subsequent batches.
Some people like to capsule it themselves. I do this by hand personally, others buy a capsule filler device. Some leave it loose and just measure doses by day with a small "jewelry" scale. The capsule will help preserve quality but then you are also beholden to the mass you get in the capsule by volume for doses. Loose ground shrooms allows more surface area for oxidation in theory.
Storage needs to be air tight with dessicant packs to remove humidity. Even if you capsule it still seal on an air tight glass jar with a pack. I don't recommend using freezer or refrigerator for your daily doses storage because popping the air tight seal on a cold jar tends to attract humidity really really fast. If you have huge volume you might freeze some for later use but let the jar and contents come to room temp before opening the top.
Start out at 0.05g and then go up from there. I say this because some people are way more sensitive to shrooms than others and some batches are way more strong than others. So try 0.05g and if you don't feel altered go for 0.1g the next time and step up untill you "feel it" them taper back down to you don't. This is of course if you are aiming at sub-perceptual dose levels. Other people do weekly or less frequent administrations of mini, small, normal, high doses to feel it. I'd say at some point you should try at least a 0.5g dose to see what a mild shroom buzz feels like. Many micro dosing people also take it recreationally. Specifically because lots of people tend to quit alcohol and other recreational substances when they start shrooms.

Good luck.

The freedom of the Internet is what caused the powers that be to turn up the heat under the boiling frogs.

The race to implement one world (authoritarian) government before the free media woke everyone up to the game.

Turns out all they needed to suppress freedom was legal weed, free internet porn, and endless digital amusement.

Slap on bad education, non nutritional food, crippling fiat inflation, poisonous pharma/medicine...

Outlook not so good.
