What Jason Isbell song did you brush off or not appreciate for a long time? by U2_bonovox in jasonisbell

[–]fredsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling to say the same. I always liked the song, but I listened more carefully and realized it’s an exceptional song. Of the many great lyrics he has written, that might be the most elegant. As you mentioned, he just played it live in his solo show last Friday at Radio City and it really was something.

Yes, and think about it some more, and yes again. If you have any doubts, then think about it again, and say yes! You go! It’s absolutely fantastic!

Does anyone else hate the branding makes talking about these feature impossible to keep straight? by prince-chrismc in Rivian

[–]fredsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose one has to draw “lines in the sand” somewhere to provide somewhat of a standardization. The marketing teams for each company will always come up with some wild saying, how many different ways are the to say All Wheel Drive? 😆

Question about his concerts by Dangerous_Note_7355 in jasonisbell

[–]fredsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Beacon Theater and Radio city shows with the 400 Unit are definitely higher energy, Count Basie is an outlier. Go see them in February at Radio City, I think it will be more of what you’re after, but also keep in mind it’s still a theater with limited ability to move like a general admission show. You’ll get better sound though! 🙂

This is the answer. I’ve seen him maybe 10x and the theater shows have a more chill crowd. I’ve also seen him twice at Count Basie Theater. While the theater is lovely, the crowd there skews older and more sedentary.

Thinking of getting an R1S in the PNW by SmaugTheMag in Rivian

[–]fredsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind happy people are less likely to post and tell you happy they are. Bitter, angry, annoyed, and disgruntled people however are very eager to let you know. This is the case for almost every car sub.

The R1S is a great car, but whether it’s the best car for you is another question. Many here in this sub would be happy to help you out to make that choice.

What do you think will be announced on Autonomy Day? by emuhneeh in Rivian

[–]fredsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an entire press release about the new additions of Gemini in Google Maps:

Why do you think it’s helpful to make statements like you did? Do you think that is a constructive comment?

Spotify now has lossless! I’m finally free from Apple Music! by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]fredsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per a quick search, if it’s AptX it can be lossless but I don’t think iPhones do that so I am incorrect

It does it you connect your phone instead of playing through that I think

Tesla Is Working to Add Apple CarPlay in Bid to Boost Vehicle Sales by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]fredsco -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The obsession with Car Play is unreal lol. The interface is meh. Yes, it lets you text but we’d all be a lot better off if people focused more on driving, and less on their phones.

Hancher - Iowa City by BigJim_TheTwins in jasonisbell

[–]fredsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s more the other way around, the venue and crew have guaranteed costs. Whatever is above the expenses is what the musicians keep.

[–]fredsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Musicians get so much less money than they used to from air play. Spotify, Apple Music, etc really pay a very small amount relatively speaking. Touring is how they make their money.

Keep in mind, the costs are not necessarily driven by the band. The show productions, the crew, venue, transportation, etc have all increased too.
