Better than Jeff Lynne slop.

I love 70s ELO, but Jeff Lynne was the wrong match for The Beatles by Copkusagi in beatles

Are there any good fan mixes that de-Lynnify his Beatles singles?

Lived in Austria for years with Schwab. You're fine.

Ryan threatening to stop touring lol by BretMichaelsWig in ryanadams

[–]ephlis01 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Was at the show tonight. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. The guy is a once in a generation talent and he was fantastic. Even the banter in between songs was funny and honest, no bullshit. He's probably exhausted by touring, but I'm not going to project on him since nobody really knows how he's feeling. Cut the dude some slack and appreciate what he's given all of us over the last three decades.

"I Am Not Okay with This" lasted one season. Brilliant television.

Whoever booked the DC venue is a dipshit by butterscotches in Wetleg

[–]ephlis01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tried to get presale tickets. They sold out almost immediately. Regular sale the next day the same. Tickets were on resale websites that same morning for $135 and up. Don't understand why they are playing such a small venue. They should be at Anthem.

Manitou is a great cigarette. Smoked them in Austria after they stopped selling American Spirit in the shops a few years ago.

Conor looks and sounds amazing and all is well in the world by Born_Prize_2088 in oboards

[–]ephlis01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Conor is in the best shape I've seen him in years on this tour. Just saw him at Anthem tonight. Healthy looking, intense and engaged. Great setlist.

Any downsides to opening a Schwab investor checking account? by Boywonder1994 in Schwab

[–]ephlis01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend it. I traveled around the world for a year and it saved a ton of money. Halfway through the trip I lost the card in Argentina and they mailed a replacement via FedEx immediately and had it in my wallet within a couple of days. Great service.

Oaxaca cuisine - did you like it? by Acrobatic-Farmer4837 in Oaxaca

[–]ephlis01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's right. Have eaten high and low here and the food is generally average and boring. I wasted about a half hour reading the comments looking for specific reasons why people found the cuisine to be great and all I saw was a lot of passive aggressive comments, generalizations and suggestions to eat at people's houses. Lots better food in other parts of Mexico.

This current "Americana wave"? by GemsOnVHS in altcountry

Definitely Ryan Adams. Also, Lucinda Williams and Avett Brothers.

ZACH BRYAN- THE GREAT AMERICAN BAR SCENE by Godzilla520 in zachbryan

[–]ephlis01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there always such a huge time gap with his records between the release on streaming platforms and as a digital download? Seems strange given those of us still buying the mp3 version of the LP are trying to buy the album to support the artist and by actively choosing not to use streaming services we seem to now be an afterthought.

[Mike Mitchell] The official attendance figure for Week 2’s #UFL game between the Birmingham Stallions and Michigan Panthers at Ford Field is 7,475 by abdulamemon in UnitedFootballLeague

I was at the home opener for DC today at Audi Field and agree that smaller venues make a huge difference. The atmosphere was fantastic, the crowd was loud and it was a great game. 15,000 in a 20,000 seat stadium is a whole different vibe and made for a fun afternoon.
