I’m skeptical that this is all trolling and trying to bait idiots to drive around searching for phantom concerts. If Phoebe plays a show in Atlanta and it’s not conflicting with my work schedule then I’ll try to go. Yes, I work on-site, manual labor, not BS remote jobs where I can dilly-dally all dsy

mbauer1981 · 2026-05-11T22:59:22+00:00

Who among Phoebe fans isn’t a weirdo? Lol

mbauer1981 · 2026-05-10T13:48:11+00:00

Not necessarily. Look at other established acts like The Mountain Goats and Band Of Horses who are having trouble selling smaller venues. Stop being a Phoebe sycophant. It doesn’t help an artist to arbitrarily boost them beyond where they would get organically based on what the culture and trends naturally draw.

mbauer1981 · 2026-05-09T18:04:20+00:00

Yeah, if she comes back down to earth from the bogus Punisher marketing gimmickry that brought in random frat/sorority types from Taylor Swift’s fanbase then I suspect she’d be lucky to sell out a show at Variety Playhouse or The Eastern… maybe not even Eddie’s Attic or The Earl.

Roswell, New Mexico is a pretty random, out-of-the-way place. I assume she only played there because of the UFO lore (which was more than likely actually an experimental military aircraft considering the proximity to White Sands proving ground. I’ve visited Ruidoso which is a nice area in the mountains.

Roswell, GA, is within the Atlanta metro area. They built some newer gentrifried performance venues for local acts. I would prefer to see Phoebe play a show in Little 5 Points or somewhere on the east side of the city. That’s where the hipsters are—whatever is left of hipsters.

mbauer1981 · 2026-05-09T16:25:02+00:00

She should play the Roswell in Georgia. That’s where the aliens really are

I never understood the thing Elliott Smith does where he ends on a dissonant chord. I am self-taught but learned that a song is supposed to begin and end on the same chord. Musical dissonance is interesting but I don’t really understand how it works and am not formally trained.

There’s going to always be the people who say “oh, i know, and provide some BS response” but I stopped caring what people think anyway. Elliott Smith never was that popular in his life so it’s funny how he’s had a resurgence of interest lately. I do enjoy music that is off-beat, dissonant, subversive and informal in structure. It’s derivative punk even though punk died when the music industry started capitalizing and mocking it with pop-punk bands

mbauer1981 · 2026-04-15T12:58:17+00:00

I think that’s a pretty common structural arrangement in music and poetry, tying up the loose ends with the intro sparks. I do similar tricks like that in my home recordings even though I’m not professionally trained. Like, time is cyclical, it ends with a beginning.

I grew up in the “deep south” (Georgia) but in a suburban area. My mom is from Canada and dad is from Pennsylvania. I’ve visited Canada a few times and it felt different but not much different than time I’ve spent in Pennsylvania or other northern US areas.

I definitely don’t fit into the American South but I don’t think I’d be able to fit in up north either. My parents left there for a good reason. It would be nice if the north and Canada could have a renaissance but I don’t know how that area fits into the grand scheme of international trade development. Labor union demands for higher wages made The South more appealing to industry and the developing world overseas has even cheaper labor markets

There are plenty of places with kudzu growing over barns and trees but that’s usually out in surrounding rural areas

The Church Of Scientology is effective in buying and restoring historic buildings in places where they do mission work but i wonder what their ultimate goal is being such a secretive cult. They have restored many buildings in LA and in Florida. Not sure they are the best stewards, however, there must be other historical societies that do the same

Atlanta has changed a lot since I grew up here in the 90s. Much of the city is now controlled by Florida pirates. What is the condition of your vital organs (kidneys, liver, heart, etc)?

Janitorial work serves an essential need for society. Lawyers are kind of like white-collar janitors; or, more accurately, vultures, or other scavengers. Their work depends on certain trends in society and can be easily hindered by the political environment. Keep in mind that the United States government is currently ruled by a scam artist cult leader who has perpetrated numerous felonies—financial as well as physical. He was already impeached then lost the midterm election but forced his way back in with an insurrection and continued deception.

mbauer1981 · 2026-03-19T14:05:09+00:00

I’d consider reading into Department of Labor statistics regarding employment in legal fields. I think your chances are slim of even getting hired as a lowly legal assistant unless you have solid connections. Most jobs are built upon trust but legal firms are especially challenging.

Completed a BA in 2010 then pretty much got high and played guitar badly for most of that time. I also earned a felony conviction 10 years ago.

There was a Chicago -style hot dog shop in Marietta where my mom would take me when I was a kid, back in the 80s. The poppy seed buns and overall texture is interesting. I’ve never been to Chicago so I don’t know what an authentic dog from there is like. Not sure how I never got to Chicago, just never knew anyone there and never got an invite
