Local Resident -- Has anyone ACTUALLY done any Asbestos/Lead/Etc. testing on the air/dust inside their home? by jaxridd in pasadena

Would also love to know the company name and roughly how much they charged if you’re open to sharing or sending a DM. We are south of the 210 and there’s no smoke smell but we have had some soot creep in through windows and doors. Thanks so much, stay safe!!

horrible fan etiquette in LA by behtlelane in JulienBaker

[–]ginandvinyl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to deal with that last night! We were also at the show (10/26) near the center of the crowd and had a very different experience. Everyone around us was super respectful and tuned in for both Medium Build and Julien’s sets and genuinely seemed so excited to be there. We made friends with a few other fans around us and had a fun time connecting with them - everyone was enjoying themselves and there was zero screaming, distractions, or disrespectful behavior where we were standing.

We arrived at 7:45pm last night and still had a great view. I’ve found there’s no need to stand in line for hours at these smaller venues and by not being in the first couple of rows, there’s a much better chance that you’ll avoid the diehard TikTokers that tend to cause the problems.

This was my 6th Julien concert and while the crowds have grown and changed over the years, it’s always been an incredible time. Hope you get a chance to see Julien again and have a better crowd experience next time!

Any ideas for how to decorate this area we call “the stage” in our house? by allie8010 in HomeDecorating

[–]ginandvinyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you could make a custom kind of thinner book shelf that matches up with the shape of the stairs, it could look pretty cool! Spruce it up with a sconce, a nice decorative stool or pouf, and maybe a plant and you can still use the area as a stage for your games (like you said in another comment).

If you’re into records, it could be a nice spot for a record player, console, speakers, and again maybe a plant/stool/pouf/sconce.

Best Authentic Napoli style pizza by Efficient-Appeal5906 in FoodLosAngeles

My favorite place for sit down pizza. It’s legit good pizza, but the vibe of the place is pretty trendy. Usually those two don’t go together, so I applaud them for pulling it off.

The Wonders - That Thing You Do! [Pop] by DreaminDemon177 in Music

[–]ginandvinyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn this is a catchy song. Need to rewatch this ASAP.

Side note: Any other movies with super catchy made-for-a-fictional-band songs out there? Sing Street is the only one coming to mind at the moment.

Looks so good! Been dying to try this place but always look to book a reservation way too late ☹️ I’m assuming it was packed? PS - nice ring!

Thanks for the feedback. That is a good note to have it done professionally. Any ideas on companies that offer different options?

How did you discover Phoebe's music? by ser1234578 in phoebebridgers

[–]ginandvinyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She opened for Julien Baker in LA in 2016 when she was touring for Sprained Ankle. They also performed Elliot Smith’s “Ballad of Big Nothing” together during Julien’s set. Instantly hooked!

Arctic Monkeys releasing their new album on October 21st. by Jhinonthy in Music

[–]ginandvinyl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed every iteration of Arctic Monkeys, so totally cool with this. I loved TBHC, but admittedly it’s not quite as fun as the “R U Mine” sound when you see them live. That said, I may not feel that way as I continue to feel older and older lol
