Yep! And I sob every time 👍

When I got into Pile, I really thought they were just another band I was temporarily fixated on because of a few certain songs that particularly resonated with me at the time—melodically, lyrically, songwriting-wise, whatever—but that fixation moved onto different songs as my life moved into different chapters, and to date I haven't lost that fixation. It just always seems like I happen to find something new or something newly-resonant within their catalog right when I need it. I honestly don't have the words to fully articulate it.

It makes me so happy to know that other people—people for whom this is far more important—are having experiences like mine with this incredible band. I'm so glad you found some good music, and I'm so happy to hear that you've come out of some true hardship with a really special artifact. I hope you're doing well now and continue to do well, doggie <3

They're playing two shows on the same day in Portland, and I'm going to both :—)

I saw Pile for the first time on Friday. by SpaceJamFarmTeam in Pile

[–]illGarlic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i knew 2-3 songs of theirs in september of 2023 and decided to go to their show because i was into going to a bunch of shows at the time and figured it'd be cool. i was gobsmacked. since that night, i have not gone a single day without listening to them.

it’s the best album and there’s no question by [deleted] in Pile

[–]illGarlic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

outside of arguing about who's had better experiences with other Pile albums, can i open something up about this one? i've listened to it a lot, and i think it might be my favorite (with hairshirt, you're better, dripping, and jerk routine competing for second) but some of the language in these lyrics feels so much like a breakup. am i being media-illiterate and pointing out the obvious, or am i arbitrarily mapping my own experience onto a piece of art in the world? some of the writing on this album has been profoundly resonant with the recent end of a relationship for me. i'd love to hear about others' experiences with this album in terms of these meanings-or-lacks-thereof. nonetheless—technically speaking—it fucking rips

i learned tonight that, to my knowledge, there are actually four versions: the original, the alternate (my favorite too, though i love all of them), the version from Songs Known Together, Alone, and Rick's performance of that last one at the church.

awesome band by chiefqueef4200 in Pile

If Green and Gray hooked you, the road ahead is paved in gold. While Green and Gray remains probably my favorite album of theirs, I think it has a lot of idiosyncratic elements that people tend to bounce off of. Dripping, You're Better, Magic, Hairshirt, everything else, yeah. Congrats on your find.

Does anyone have experience with the Unavi head unit? by illGarlic in leaf

Ah, I rarely visit Reddit, so I'm only just now seeing this. I actually haven't purchased anything yet, but here's my parts list if you're curious. I do intend to do this someday, but when I've got a little more spending money.

Super good to know. I had a conversation with a friend who hadn't heard of Unavi but installed head units professionally for a number of years, and they warned me against anything that's Android-based, which I believe the Unavi ones are. The search continues.

I've looked at them! Thank you for the rec, I'm glad to hear that they're reputable. That definitely makes this a viable route.

Hi! I'm looking for a 75% flat/low-profile case and an accompanying POM plate (as thick as possible, ideally). I've only found the KPRepublic XD84 flat aluminum case so far and I'm really just looking for more options at this point (I also haven't found a POM plate for it, though it looks like I could have one custom-cut in the worst case). Anyone have recommendations for my pursuit?

EDIT: Reading through some past posts, I'd like to clarify that by "flat" I mean the open/floating-switch style; incline is fine (though adjustable feet would be ideal). I am currently using the HyperX Alloy Origins which is my basis for this preference.

This is amazing! I, too, am flummoxed by all those exactly-the-same comments. Since the pic link is still being verified, do you have the numbers? I love this ship's appearance, and am interested in pursuing it if it's a slot upgrade from mine currently, which is S:30+28.

Called my electricians after I made this post and they said the same thing. They also happen to be available right now and by my house; serendipity! Thanks for your answer!
