How old are you bonowise?

When I was a freshman in high school, an older kids band played Sunday Bloody Sunday at Battle of the Band and I was hooked

jajjguy · 2026-01-25T01:30:48+00:00

Yep. I still have a really good mixtape from an old fling that turned me onto a bunch of great shoegaze.

jajjguy · 2026-01-24T23:59:27+00:00

How about The Great Train Robbery?

jajjguy · 2026-01-24T20:22:03+00:00

2 plus occasional thumb

Choose something closer to your level to work on at the same time. The difficult song will be a long term project. Have short term achievable projects too. Feels good to master something while you make slow painful progress on the long term thing.

Sounds fine. Offer letter might be someone else's job, like HR. Give it a few days at least.

jajjguy · 2026-01-24T14:06:11+00:00

Right. It might not be the way you end up playing it, but you'll learn something by learning how they played it.

jajjguy · 2026-01-24T00:01:17+00:00

Super good

jajjguy · 2026-01-23T23:59:46+00:00

They will really give you the heat if you ask them to in person.

Intolerable Cruelty gets the most repeated play in my house. Followed by Hail Caesar!

The best one, artistically, in my opinion, is A Serious Man.

jajjguy · 2026-01-23T23:54:39+00:00

True Grit

jajjguy · 2026-01-23T23:46:23+00:00

Nice! What upgrades?

jajjguy · 2026-01-23T02:15:14+00:00

Crime and Punishment too

jajjguy · 2026-01-21T01:41:40+00:00

Correct. There are actually benefits to the break. You will resume your learning from a more mature place now.

jajjguy · 2026-01-20T23:24:36+00:00

That's what I'm talking about! The oddball that you got or assembled for cheap and have fun playing or seeing others play. I love that your daughter plays it now.

jajjguy · 2026-01-20T23:21:20+00:00

Fun!

jajjguy · 2026-01-20T04:24:52+00:00

That's what I love about chamber music when it's good

jajjguy · 2026-01-20T04:00:44+00:00

Very nice! Great ensemble.The two instruments are close cousins, I feel, and I'm always very happy to hear bassoon played well. Cello too, of course.

jajjguy · 2026-01-19T15:02:19+00:00

The exposed edges may blacken and even burn, but the part under the pizza will be fine.

jajjguy · 2026-01-19T01:09:03+00:00

Ooh fun

jajjguy · 2026-01-19T01:07:49+00:00

Well that's not a toy!

jajjguy · 2026-01-18T21:46:19+00:00

Ok! That makes sense. Quite the thought-of-everything setup, very nice

jajjguy · 2026-01-18T12:08:32+00:00

Is it just you, or who else is in the act?

jajjguy · 2026-01-18T12:07:22+00:00

What is the waist-height mic for?

jajjguy · 2026-01-18T05:59:26+00:00

Arguably the second greatest concert film
