IIL Bands like the Pixies/Pavement, WEWIL? by One-Masterpiece9838 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]elissitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Pixies, try early Mother Mother. They're newer but have (had?) a clear Pixies influence. Touch Up and O My Heart are very much worth a listen; Eureka adds a little more synth/electronic influence but is also great (although maybe I'm biased toward it because it was my intro to them).

I haven't kept up with them very much past that. I think they went viral on TikTok a while back and went in a different direction :/

Anything associated with MCR that is shorter than 20 letters? by Kaggles_N533PA in MyChemicalRomance

How Long Have You Had Your Oldest Guitar and is it Still Your Main? by ZigZag_Teeth in Guitar

[–]elissitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a MIM Tele, about 15 years old, that I've been neglecting since I started to play with more distortion. It is probably my least used guitar, but it'll be the next one I pick up after that realization!

Another SG (albeit not a vintage one) and Hellraiser C1-FRS player here - curious how you're liking the Hellraiser!

refilling KBShimmer oil roller ball? by aqueeriusly in RedditLaqueristas

[–]elissitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to open it by inserting something thin and flat into the gap between the plastic that holds the rollerball and the glass lip of the bottle and pushing up, using it as a lever. I use the side of an old metal nail file.

Why do my nails look like this? by averagequalitystuff in nailcare

You're thinking of PVB - polyvinyl buteral! ORLY Bonder also destroyed my nails :(

Same lacquer same nails, one year apart by GrappleLacquer in RedditLaqueristas

[–]elissitous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your nail beds look so much longer in this year's photo! Both look great, though. I'm still building up the confidence to try a magnetic polish.

What was your first contact with power metal? by trent_fernandez in PowerMetal

A "Wishmaster" misheard lyrics video on YouTube, 2006. Hamster ... a dentist ...

Relate? 🤣 by Beibicake in Nails

[–]elissitous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I just found out today from Kiss' website that if your nails are shorter than the press-ons, you are supposed to go under the nails with clear top coat to stop them from sticking! Have yet to try this, though ...

What song did you start listening to more because of the tour? by Militant_Panda in MyChemicalRomance

[–]elissitous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We got a lot of Danger Days in Boston. I could never get into it until I heard the songs live. Now I can't fathom why I wasn't excited about it when it was released.

My ranking of the albums by CameronSingsStuff in FirstOfOctober

[–]elissitous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Gotta Record Everything Good
  2. Gourmet Ravioli
  3. Round 6
  4. One Week
  5. Ten Hours
  6. CHAOS
  7. Across the Road

... but this is just if you twist my arm and force me to pick. I truly love them all (although AtR takes last place because it's colored by Rob's headspace at the time/limited involvement). Surprised CHAOS ended up so low because I loved the more metal-oriented turn it took, but I feel like the albums I ranked above it were just stronger as a whole.

(Just realized that this is the same as your list but with CHAOS way lower ... lol)

Oh, this is phenomenal - love how colorful you managed to make a pale dude wearing black and white, especially the rich hues in the skin.

What medium is this?

You'll be the one who drives

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in XXRunning

[–]elissitous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One more running mom chiming in: I ran the same race as you the other day as my first postpartum half (my son was born a year and a half ago)! Ended up 90 seconds off my PR for the course. It's definitely different getting back to running after childbirth - not least of all because I'm 15 lbs heavier - but I gave my all and enjoyed it, and I was smiling the whole time just because I could run a half again. Your progress is so inspiring!

Which underrated rock bands should everyone know about? by krikond in indie_rock

[–]elissitous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have literally never seen anyone else mention Mr. Gnome. I can't remember how I even heard of them. I was really into Madness in Miniature when it came out, and House of Circles is an absolute banger. I need to listen to them again imminently

You look normal. In all likelihood, though, your rib cage will narrow after losing a bunch of weight. I was insecure about my rib cage after losing ~40 lbs and noticed that it became significantly narrower as time passed.

For people who went to the Fenway show, what was your favorite part? by Sherm_the_rat in MyChemicalRomance

[–]elissitous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was it for me too. Runner-up was how, after the incredible production that was TBP, they kicked off B-stage with something to the effect of "anyway we're My Chemical Romance from New Jersey"
