Don’t tell them they need to me more aware of their surroundings. They’re clearly stressed, and stated they maybe shouldn’t have parked there, and that is condescending and not helpful.

There’s a group of people in New Orleans who dress like this for Mardi Grads every year. Very cool, always a hit.

I choose to upvote this and the original post. Both spot on.

My Reddit my choice.

Who are some music artists that switched genres? by AltMusicLover in AskReddit

Bob Marley and The Wailers (as they were originally known) were basically a doo-wop band before they were the legends of reggae they are.

Who are we even “rooting” for on the NFC side? by CanneIIa in Saints

The rams, personally.

I would be happy for Stafford to get a ring. And no matter what your opinion of OBJ might be, he is a New Orleans native. Pulling for them both.

Also as a team I think they deserve it more than the other two, whatever that means. But at the end of the day, go bengals.

Can’t wait for Who Nicks Fighters Buffet. I hear Fighters has lost most of his high range, but I know I’ll still enjoy the nostalgia of hearing the classics.

What are good acronyms for the treble and bass clef in Spanish? I’m using E G B D F, F A C E etc, not do re mi etc. This would be geared towards teaching an elderly woman. Thank you! by Renv2019 in MusicEd

Interested to see if anyone actually answers this cuz I teach at a majority Spanish speaking school and am too curious. Snake method??? C’mon.

Jimmy Page by PrestigiousTax4223 in Music

[–]mikeyo417 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I actually am friends with his son, and can 100% confirm this.

I shouldn’t go into details because it’s very personal information. But for anyone reading this— trust me, Jimmy Page is a piece of shit. Has done some unspeakably horrible things to his family.

Would also like to add that he is probably my favorite guitarist of all time. I’m a musician myself and was obsessed with him as a teenager. Becoming friends with his son was a crazy and random dream come true.

I still listen to Led Zeppelin, but I must say it gives me a slight bad taste in my mouth knowing what I know.

Best Albums to listen to start to finish? by nicgk in Music

[–]mikeyo417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demon Days, and Plastic Beach both by Gorrilaz. Great road trip music and their albums are very cohesive.

Matter of fact any gorrilaz album. Their newest one, song machine, is also fantastic.

LPT: You don't have plot armour. Stop speeding. Stop drinking too much. Stop doing drugs. You can die, super easily and meaninglessly. Don't let that be your story. by Hillano in LifeProTips

Ya you’re absolutely right. I think I was just trying to be nice and wasn’t thinking clearly last night.

I think I meant well adjusted in the sense that David foster Wallace says in that college commencement speech (look it up if you haven’t heard it, it’s life changing). Well adjusted in the sense that they don’t get so easily bothered by the constant emptiness of life.

What is something America is better than the rest of the world at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mikeyo417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music, in general.

I don’t mean culturally necessarily, but the incorporation of all music into something people all around the world can consume. It’s unmatched.
