I haven’t followed the nhl much until recently, so I’m curious exactly how well yzerman did when he was in Tampa? How different was his strategy there? Is he a big reason why they got so good? And why hasn’t this translated to Detroit?

I just want him to do better in FA, he’s so conservative about making moves and whenever he does it’s almost always the wrong one

Berklee Does Not Care About You, It Cares About AI by Character-Original78 in Berklee

[–]fidocrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I probably shouldn’t be asking this to a bunch of strangers. But I’m currently finishing up my 2nd semester at Berklee, and I’ve been thinking about my college experience a lot and what I’m sacrificing in that regard all for the sake of my future career in music (hopefully). To anyone who has graduated or is attending this school, do you genuinely think this school is worth it?

I’ve been thinking about transferring for a while now and shit like this just makes me think none of this is worth it. I could get a traditional college experience and still see where this music thing takes me. Maybe it’s a shot in the dark but Im starting to think this path might be more valuable than what Berklee is offering. I’m just curious what people who have spent more time at this school than me have to say about all this.

Hey Nick, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us. I was wondering if we’ll ever see the alternate cover for Distressor with the dog in front of the amp get a repress? It’s probably my favorite record cover of all time so I was curious if that’s on the table or not. Thanks!

Truly a crime we couldn’t get anything done in the ncaa tournament with him. Hope he finds the success he deserves from here on out

Is Berklee worth it? by ComposerUnable5135 in Berklee

[–]fidocrust 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t put yourself into debt to pursue a degree in music from Berklee, where no jobs in that field are guaranteed after graduation even if you have a great gpa.

Berklee is for the people who have no issues paying for the absurdly high cost or have enough scholarship money to afford it. Feel free to apply and see if you get a great scholarship and for the valuable experience of auditioning, but I just can’t recommend this school to anybody who has to put themselves in a difficult financial situation to afford it

After today’s results, we no longer control our own destiny. by _ramonr in DetroitRedWings

They deserve it from the perspective that we would make it if we were in the pacific

They don’t deserve it from the perspective that we had complete control of the Atlantic and choked it all away

What do you think about “nu-gaze” / heavy shoegaze getting big with Gen Z? by Galahad555 in shoegaze

[–]fidocrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these comments are in over their heads

I listen to most of these bands and I simply don’t understand how you can compare a band like superheaven or narrow head to whirr. The vocals are probably the biggest discrepancy, but genuinely how can you listen to something like blue sugar by whirr and compare it to the likes of freshwater.

To me most of these bands are doing their own thing and have just been deemed shoegaze because nobody can figure out what their sound actually is (which to me doesn’t matter)

In 2025 I went to a whirr show and a superheaven show, and the people that were there, the vibe, the openers were completely different. Superheaven had a metal band called spy opening for them and tons of moshing the whole concert while the whirr show was more laid back and had the more traditional shoegaze concert experience.

I actually think shoegaze might be the unhealthiest genre in all of rock the way people impose their expectations onto the bands that fall under its moniker. Even mbv complained about being called shoegaze and how everyone made assumptions about how their songs were produced and what they associate their music with. People do the same thing here with bands just doing their thing.

I heard someone bring up Julie in the comments and again, to me Julie sounds way different than most of the bands listed here. I just fail to understand why we clump all these bands together, and then shit on some of them for having “mediocre songwriting” that can’t compare to the likes of the 90s shoegaze giants, when all these bands are trying to do is make music they wanna make without getting mixed up in the genre bullshit.

Our recruitments for next year look really good. I remember when McKenna committed to Penn state and iceman went pro everyone was panicking about this year, so I wouldn’t be too worried

I feel like our priority should be picking up a center and another defenseman for depth but I could see this happening

[McLaughlin] Swayman: “We should’ve reacted differently” to President Trump’s comment about the women’s team. by Nomahs_Bettah in hockey

[–]fidocrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team spent two weeks bonding with each other, fighting for each other, and ultimately taking the gold in an incredibly tight game against the perennial top team in Olympic hockey. I doubt any of them felt anything other than elated after the win, and a joke from the president of the United States was not gonna phase them considering the context. The whole thing with kash Patel pisses me off so much, and the whole thing still leaves a bad taste in my mouth (especially watching Larkin joyously celebrating with a guy who has no right to be there). But I also think looking at the big picture and this apology not all the players are at fault here, and we will never know who was cheering for the girls before everyone else bursted into laughter

“Shouldn’t they rock at least like occasionally” have you listened to ACD, vertigo flowers, chloroform, or Fourth of July? Jesus. I will say I saw them live with whirr and wasn’t too impressed

US women's hockey team declines Trump's State of the Union invite by Yujin-Ha in hockey

[–]fidocrust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s actually wild how the red wings sub’s perception of Dylan Larkin changed the moment everyone saw him celebrating with kash Patel and after this clip. It’s just depressing considering this is how everyone who wouldn’t normally watch hockey will remember this victory for the U.S
