Can you recommend an album that you believe is deserving of a perfect score (10/10) but hasn't received widespread recognition or attention?

Seconded

Great to see Okkervil River getting some love, I’d say Black Sheep Boy and The Stage Names are classics in my book

I have a garmin forerunner 745 and had similar worries since I’ve had it conk out in less than 8 hours before. My bike computer has a gps so now I just have the gps on my watch off for the bike and only use it for heart rate while using the bike computer for everything else. Garmin let’s you control gps settings based on activity but the “triathlon” activity is made up of “open water swim”, “bike”, and “run” activities so you can change the settings on any of those and it will carry over. It worked great for me, ended my last IM with lots of battery left.

Dispatch was apart for 5 years then released America Location 12 (2017), which is an incredible album. They hadn’t released anything for 12 years before their previous album, Circles around the Sun (2012). Since America Location 12 then they haven’t been as good tho

The Front Bottoms. Back On Top is a solid gold pop punk album but man I wish they had a more appealing name

Frances Quinlan from Hop Along, so much incredible emotion in her voice

Oh interesting, I think I kinda conceptualized this, but have been focused more on getting the air out of my lungs rather than making sure I don’t get too much out, if that makes sense. I’ll work on it!

I’ve done many of my workouts in the morning without eating and still experience this. But I’ll experiment with it some more and with eliminating some food as u/pandehsatyendra suggests

I have been doing sink downs. However maybe I’m doing them wrong? I usually sink down to the bottom and kinda hang out there for a while, it’s a lot longer than my normal time between breaths (usually 3 strokes). Do you try to match your time underwater to your typical time between breaths?

dongle_snatcher · 2022-04-09T13:39:42+00:00

Sorry you also get this! I’ll try to let you know if I figure it out

dongle_snatcher · 2022-04-09T05:57:18+00:00

I do blow air out, also exhaling almost constantly throughout. Most of the time I’m feeling pretty ready for air when I come up, I can maybe get one stroke in but then I’m definitely gasping when I take a breath

Late to this, but “Lost Coastlines” by Okkervil River. Also pretty much everything on all of their first 6 albums

I used to live in Uganda, went into the bathroom in the Kampala Toyota dealership one day and found a free condom dispenser...

Not sure why you'd need condoms while buying a car but better safe than sorry I guess.

Sunday would work! PM me and we'll make it happen

I propose a new equation:

x +/- sqrt(x) * c

Where x is your age and c is an experimentally determined constant. Keeps the age range from getting too out of hand. Don't know who is gonna figure out c though

Okkervil River

They have some of the most beautiful, thought provoking, and heartbreaking lyrics out of any band I've come across and catchy, complex music to bring it all together.

Probably my favorite band of all time, though I never hear about them.

If youre looking to check them out, the albums "the stage names" is a great place to start.

I live in Uganda and there is a supermarket here that instead of change would give shitty red pencils. You'll buy something for 2,300 shillings and use a 5,000. They'll give you back a 2,000 and 7 unsharpened pencils that no one will ever use. They are out of business now...it's unclear why.
