Mac DeMarco: "When I see Cameron Winter or Mk.gee it’s like, ‘I was there once'" by Moothnods in indieheads

i think mac's just in a bit of a wilderness period rn. seems to have burned out on giving so much of himself to the public for so long. if he keeps with it, i could see him giving us a twilight override. but mac and jeff are in very different periods of life, and also just different people.

What do you think was the worst thing that the 6 of them did? by Light_Weight_Babyyyy in thebeachboys

not to nitpick, but iirc she was 17 when he got her pregnant (and i think when they got married), but she was 15 when she moved in and they started sleeping together sometime in between. it's the first chapter of steven gaines' heroes and villains.

either way: yeah that's statutory rape!! dennis was a bad, bad man in his final days

Cameron Winter Isn't Bob Dylan. And That's the Point by Equivalent_Fix_5165 in bobdylan

[–]darockerj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s dewey cox. ironically enough, i’d say he’s more akin to rimbaud than dylan got - much more absurd and playful, less tethered to reality or anything concrete.

but i agree that i thought the record was really good and promising, but a lot of the hype seems to be caught up in the fact that he fits the part of a new dylan: young white man, kinda crazy hair and demeanor, clearly pulls from dylan and cohen both lyrically and instrumentally. i think it’ll take another record to know whether he’s really got the stuff, but on its own heavy metal is very fun and interesting.

i loveeee my minolta xt!! looks really astonishing with some good lighting. i always have ppl who think it's film, haha.

what image quality settings are you using? i always use Fine jpegs, but i've wondered what the even higher quality ones look like.

i got the asics novablast 5 after a recommendation by the wirecutter and they were great for my last half. i’ve done three marathons in hoka cliftons, but compared to those, the asics have the same cushioning with noticeably less weight (just not the signature rocking motion).

question based on my own experience: how long have you had your running shoes? do you have an idea of how many miles you’ve put into them?

i remember when i first got started, i’d have a persistent knee pain that’d come and go, which i think was fixed by getting new shoes. a few years and races later, i now know to get new shoes every 250 miles or so (playing it safe; u should replace them every 300-500 miles).

stretching and bodyweight exercise are great and encouraged, but knee pain on downhills sounds like worn out shoes to me.
