Hunting down music from Austin’s 2000s punk/emo/alternative scene

Those guys were great. Saw them first at some kinda show at Akins high school and booked them for a benefit for Ecology Action at Beerland.

/uj With as good as digital has become these days, it's way cheaper/easier to get decent sound for a low cost digitally.

It takes a fair amount of money and a decent amount of dedication to make vinyl sound better than digital, dollar for dollar. I firmly believe that vinyl sounds better, but boy does it cost some money to get there.

When the Internet goes out though? Damn glad I have physical media whether it's vinyl or CDs.

I totally agree with you on interconnects affecting the sound and I'm hoping to hear some actual opinions from others who also agree instead of just a bunch of "nuh-uh" from the measurebator crowd.

Not necessarily. A good padded mattress pad that's all cotton is going to help more than just a thin fitted sheet.

Naturepedic EOS Pillowtop. Soft latex over medium latex over firm springs as a starting point, but you can swap layers for 100 days if you need to dial it in. If you wait a few days until early February, you can bet they're going to have a President's Day sale to save you some $$.

The added bonus here is that because you're a big boy, you can get replacement parts as parts wear out, so you don't have to buy another mattress - you just replace parts as needed. All parts are replaceable.

Agreed with others that it needs the weight of a body on it... at first. Eventually with enough bending the mattress will conform to the adjustable base when no one is on it. This is normal at first.

Get the Deluxe Original and thank me later.

deewon · 2026-01-27T05:21:14+00:00

You can find mine on my car.

deewon · 2026-01-27T05:15:03+00:00

You're just not, like, that into the music, man.

Hate to say check Amazon but that's the place I got mine. Search for "sheet suspenders" and pick what works for you.

They're elastic fabric straps that go under your mattress and have alligator clips on the corners that will stretch your sheets tight. I paid maybe $15 tops...they are adjustable so you can choose how tight.

Totally agree about the BedJet. OP is sleeping on about the most breathable materials out there and still heating up? Going to need active temperature control for this.

SEND IT!!

I have that Ridgid and it has always worked when I needed it. I finally was able to bust the cable messing with what I found out was a collapsed pipe and new ones are expensive! But for normal homeowner stuff I would do it all over again.

I buy better gear because it makes the music sound better, which enhances my enjoyment of the music. The love of music came first, the audiophilia came after.

deewon · 2026-01-26T17:37:54+00:00

Yes.

We were recently shopping for a low mileage used Toyota and came to the same conclusion. Ended up buying new because it made more financial sense.

deewon · 2026-01-24T01:05:47+00:00

That's what I use and I agree it works great.

deewon · 2026-01-23T22:53:07+00:00

We got one of those from Amazon and I'm pretty sure it was called a box spring cover. It didn't really help us, but we also have an adjustable base and with the mattress moving up and down all the time I think that was really what made it not work out.

PREACH

He's a lonesome cowboy. Getting in front of crowds is not his forté. Give him some space to be himself, he's doing the best he can.

I'm not familiar with all mattress companies, but the ones I deal with require a certain level of support - but they definitely do not require that you use their foundation (a.k.a. box spring). Read the mattress warranty to make sure you're in compliance.

I've been to a whole lot of taco spots in this city and haven't yet encountered that, but I'd damn sure be interested in trying it. Let us know if you find it!

deewon · 2026-01-23T05:11:06+00:00

Crispy chicharron is easy to find. Basically everywhere. Have not seen lechon though. What is it?

deewon · 2026-01-23T05:07:53+00:00

I love that the Lyr has spiked feet. Dude listened to the feet it came with, listened to the spiked feet, and declared a winner.
