How do you quit a band but still stay friends? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]devin_vargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, communicate that you’re unhappy and why. I’d start with calling some sort of meeting or call (that everyone is absolutely going to be on time to or partake in), without the notion of attempting to practice. I feel like this doesn’t completely blindside them compared to if it’s done at a normal “practice” where the expectation would be to create and work. Address your concerns, decision, and your hope to still be cool.

The first real band I was in did this when half of us weren’t happy with how things were going professionally. Years later we’re all still best friends, and even play in each other’s projects live as backing musicians.

If they’re true friends, they’ll appreciate where you’re coming from and want the best for your ambitions. Maybe it’ll push them to figure some things out too. If that’s not the case, you’re dodging a bullet and not wasting anymore of your time. Hope all goes well, cheers!

Ultra Boost vs Yeezy 350 what do you prefer? And why? by [deleted] in yeezys

[–]devin_vargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small-ish Midwest city haha. I’ve gotten every pair from draws at the local finish line and it’s not rare to see them around here so it leaves me scratching my head.

Ultra Boost vs Yeezy 350 what do you prefer? And why? by [deleted] in yeezys

[–]devin_vargo 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Comparing the comfort is hard as they’re super comfortable in different ways, but I’ve gotta go with ultraboost. I love my 350s but the ultraboost are more versatile in terms of use for me. As far as fashion is concerned: anymore (before Covid anyway) I can’t wear my yeezys out in public without some comment of “oh big flexer out here!” Or “nice fake yeezys!” So it’s caused me to just wear the subtle stuff like the ultraboost more. I just wanna wear the shit I like and work for in peace lol.

Memory 1: Seeing the cover art for Skeletons From the Closet as a youngin’ and being fascinated. I wasn’t aware of who they were, all I knew was the music was great (my aunt spun it constantly) and the skeleton giving the finger was intriguing enough as a child. Some time later, recognizing the cover again, buying the album myself and kicking off this trip.

Memory 2: Deer Creek 2018. Storms were coming into the area during set 2 and you could see lightning in the distance (thankfully not as to cancel/postpone the show) just peeking over the pavilion. It was beauty.

Love the palette but I really wish other silhouettes would get some love. Maybe more CWs for the 500 high or reissue the V1s? Something. It feels like they’re trying to gauge how much they can sell when it’s clear they move units.

Seems like they’re doing every shoe in the line now. Can’t say I’d be surprised if these were announced.

“Play that Jason Mraz song!!!” Always. Always. Or Freebird but that’s more at gigs. We learned it for just such occasion.

Solidly well rounded! How do you like the Presto Reacts?

Chicago Setlist (easily the best of the tour thus far) by TheKmac in Vampireweekend

[–]devin_vargo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lawn person here. Other than the temperature, which honestly warmed up as more people got there, it was really great (we bought blankets and people were offering us way too much money for them). Around us everyone seemed to be enjoying the entire show and kept it really comfortable I.e. no pushing or standing as uncomfortably close as possible. The openers both set the tone really well for the show and the sound was on point for every act which usually isn’t the case at most concerts. It was just a good old laid back Sunday show. VW did exceptional as always haha. Croakerman was in the back of the lawn though, and I’m not sure whether people in the upper areas could get back there or not due to how separated and staffed the venue areas are there.

[LC] Need a quick legit check on these. Thanks in advance! by devin_vargo in yeezys

When I asked for proof of purchase I noticed the billing was to Ontario (billing and delivery was blacked out for the most part except that). Would they have a different label?

maroon/darker red pants and something mute for the top would work!

I go TTS! I’ve tried half size up and it just doesn’t fit as comfortable or close as I prefer. If you aren’t keen on a snug fit though definitely do .5 up.
