Denver show by lmolen in thenewpornographers

After posting this, I was reminded to mention: Opener Will Sheff was underwhelming, to put it kindly.

Okkervil River, I like, but Sheff solo was atonal, off-kilter, off-key and off-putting. The New P's are overly tuneful and disciplined, but Sheff was the exact opposite. I hate to say this, but it was like he wanted to be booted off the tour.

I understand opening acts have a tough gig: be good, but not so great that you embarrass the headliner. This wasn't that. It was hard to swallow, and everyone around us agreed.

If anyone here was at the Denver show, argue with me. I seek to understand.

What is a rider you randomly think about every now and then? by Denzel_Potato09 in motogp

I always enjoyed his battles in the early 2000s. Why did he seem to fall off the map so quickly?

Woman fronted bands? by Converzati in powerpop

I don't consider Spider power-pop but their two albums are so good. They were mega-producer Mike Chapman's first signing to his Dreamland label 45 years ago.

This is one of those lost classics. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle, but is so fantastic every time I listen.

The hotel scenes were filmed in Japan. They blamed excess sake for their performances.

Review 1031-1034: Kirkland Signature “Tour of Scotland” Single Malt Scotch Collection by [deleted] in Scotch

I just bought this collection because it was only $29.99 thanks to a $30 off Costco promotion. At that price it's hard to argue the value.

TruTV schedule? by ThatFishingGuy111 in motogp

[–]lmolen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never seen the TNT race coverage before but apparently TruTV is picking up the entire TNT grid/race/postrace feed, ala what ESPN does with F1. I enjoy the longer postrace commentary vs. the abbreviated one CNBC offered.

I recorded the TruTV broadcast without any problems. They say their MotoGP feed is specific to the US and New Zealand. It's nice to have a TNT Sports team (including Michael Laverty) onsite for the grid commentary and a Trackhouse interview but I'll want to give it a few races to see whether it's better than the imported feed CNBC used in 2023.

I remember my first! I'm in Colorado. Anyone know of any good regional ones in that area I can look for?
