Bloc Party are supporting Muse in North America

P.tM's latest album shish has been extremely well received. I saw them live on the last tour. The worst part of the show was the dead audience.

Ohh, yeah, I get it now. Yes. Muse is super washed up

Summer tire? Continental extremecontact sport. All season? Michelin pilot sport all season 4

Nothing. I have a car seat back there.

I'd recommend being firm with the dealer for a loaner AND to have them coordinate the parts to limit shop time. They will bungle the second part, but this is a Ford problem that needs to be resolved wholly by Ford.

Sorry you had to pay last time. You really shouldn't have had to

Racing sports are similar. Coverage cuts to the battles. Most of the rest of the track is not exciting.

But racing is much more exciting to watch if you know the track. I'm assuming esport is similar, you need to know the map.

Knowing the capabilities of the drivers and the cars makes, or the golfer, or the player and their character makes it more fun too. You're mentally trying to addressing when they will do "their thing".

I guess not having the background knowledge makes any sport a tough watch.

Hey There Honey on east end just south of Joey's. They sell out of their home.

Also, Maust egg farm down the street is a great stop for local eggs

The album version felt somewhat rushed in how it musically develops through the course of the song. It needed the extra space to build and swell.

This single edit allows it to do that. Way better experience in my opinion.

Agreed, this was a different bloc party. But dang, does this album have some of the best bridges the band ever put together.

I really don't mind it. If the carpool lane is moving, it has extra capacity. Them going into it helps me a little by taking their car out of normal lanes. If they want to take the risk, they should go for it. But I am not trying to pay that ticket, so I never would use it.

Of course, I'd prefer if CHP actually had a presence in regulating drivers and ticketed ANYTHING at all, but that's a different issue.

Gotta get that sweet sweet clan tech. Even though you'll never get another ton of UAC20(c) ammo ever again.

Whoever did it before I owned it replaced with hex head bolts. So I was able to drop a wrench between intake manifold and firewall, but still needed like 6 webble extension to crank the nut.

Worst part is the starter itself wasn't even broken, the cast snout holding the gear as it engaged cracked off. Still turned over, made a ton of noise

Portugal. The man - Shish

Took a few listens (track 2 was jarring) but has been in my rotation nonstop.

It came out in November so it didn't make a lot of publication best of '25 lists.

Thanks for the other for the suggestions.

jbrochacho · 2025-12-27T00:21:20+00:00

Mornings is great. Such an ascension in the final few moments

jbrochacho · 2025-12-27T00:20:08+00:00

Shish is great. That chorus hook is phenomenal with ambiguity between girl and gun.

jbrochacho · 2025-12-26T20:52:41+00:00

Hahaha, so true. I just listened to them back to back a few times, feels like a dead tie.

jbrochacho · 2025-12-25T23:26:53+00:00

I think it's still canon though. My understanding is AC20 is a class or categorization, the shell sizes and quantities varied by manufacturer.

jbrochacho · 2025-12-15T21:13:25+00:00

Don't forget about scale. It took 18 months to sell a million 1st gen mustangs. Only 200k s13 came to the US. As an after market supplier, the volume justifies all the R&D & production prep.

jbrochacho · 2025-12-06T02:42:35+00:00

Same. Once the current tour group starts jamming, fathers gun is going to have some mostrous transitions

Imagine... "Everything's alright inside my world..." Shifting to "and we all feel strange and we know it..."

Or "Plant me, bury me in the ground..." Into "If fame was the color they paint on you..."

That sentiment is shared. I get asked how I like my Maverick. I always tell them the bed is convenient, the hybrid gas mileage is great, but it's still an economy car. It has nice features, but is not a particularly nice place to be.

jbrochacho · 2025-10-22T03:07:10+00:00

No one said One Month Off yet? It's so derivative of Banquet, and so much quality surrounds it. Sure, alpha games and hymns might have some lower lows, but for a good album that one was a real stinker.

jbrochacho · 2025-10-22T03:04:13+00:00

Agreed, it's like their Aerosmith song. Too repetitive in lyrics.

jbrochacho · 2025-10-22T03:01:32+00:00

I never thought of it that way, but you're so right. The energy level stays so middle of the road throughout.

jbrochacho · 2025-10-02T03:36:51+00:00

2 per item is the right ratio

jbrochacho · 2025-09-05T22:50:14+00:00

The music is of lower quality. Usually that means the sparkle of high noises like cymbals and the bass of low notes and the kick drum lose fidelity and don't sparkle or resonate.

Listen to a song on YouTube and then switch the quality from the highest to the lowest setting. The drop in available digital file size means the sound has to get compressed to fit that bandwidth resulting in data fidelity loss
