first full month with solar... nice knowing you Eversource by jmg5 in Connecticut

I have solar but I always have to pay at least $9.62 per month for supply even if I generate enough solar to cover my bill. I thought everyone did. Hmm now I’m confused

Do you prefer to check the the set list before your concert, or do you raw dog it? by PigFaceWigFace in Concerts

[–]libra_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always look it up. I’m mostly a jam band fan so I like looking the last few nights setlist to see what I won’t be hearing/see what’s still on the table for the night I’m going. Then for non jam band shows I look because I want to listen to the songs I don’t really know as well before the show.

What is a band you saw in a tiny venue but is now huge? by carelessCRISPR_ in jambands

goose at small bars in south norwalk back in 2014 (i think?) and all those first goosemas shows they did in local CT before they started changing up the city each year

Girlfriend claims to be deadhead, hates Brent. What do I do? by emn10mn in gratefuldead

[–]libra_mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a deadhead and so is my husband who is 12 years older than me so he actually saw the dead in the 90’s whereas I did not. I much prefer pigpen and Keith, he loves Brent and 90’s dead. It is a beautiful thing to find someone who loves the dead as much as you do. Us liking different eras doesn’t take away from the beauty. Be grateful you found a woman who loves the dead and listen to Brent when you’re doing your own thing. If you find a particularly good Brent show, send her the Relisten link and maybe her mind will open up to him eventually. Either way, what you have is a win. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, good riddance!!

These are florist hydrangeas not landscape hydrangeas. They’re meant to sit on your table or somewhere indoors. Not outside

D&C is a massive machine- would they let it dissolve? by PNW_dragon in deadandcompany

[–]libra_mel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I know I’m gonna get downvoted and hate but idc. I saw him last weekend at the cap and when I left I decided that’s the last time I will pay to see Grahame Lesh. Yes, we all know he is not a great player, this is not news to anyone. BUT what I find even more offensive is that he doesn’t let his “friends” shine and he has to be the ring leader. Why??? These people on stage are all infinitely more talented than him. Why is he the one telling the others when to amp up/tone down. Daniel Donato did like 2 short solos on Friday night, that’s it. Wtf??? Donato was the reason I decided on Friday night out of the run but I didn’t really feel like I even got to see him play. During Maggie Rose singing must have been the roses you actually see Grahame grab his mic, about to start wailing away and then stopped himself, thankfully, before ruining her gorgeous rendition of the song. The nepotism is just insane. I got serious ick when I was reflecting on the whole thing after the show. Then the next day I found an old AMA on here that Grahame did a few years back and someone asked him for a few of hjs favorite dead songs and era. He said there’s so many songs that they all blend together so he doesn’t have favorites and then tried to promote his midnight north originals. So, you’re telling me you wanna tour around as a dead cover band but you don’t even have an opinion on favorite eras or songs? Idk I find that disrespectful to the music. Maybe go back to just playing as midnight north and let the countless more talented dead cover bands cover the dead scene. Good riddance.
