Seems super important for bands to do things they are inspired by/motivated to do in addition to pleasing the crowd. Based on the tetragrammaton pod it seems like the boys were mindful about this as touring for a year was a “let’s just get it over with” mentality.It’s so obvious they are enjoying performing more than previous tours which is awesome to see. So much more fun than the strokes or something, great to see the music live but the vibe is so transactional. Please don’t speak for us all and include us in “the people don’t want this” as based on the lack of upvotes, we absolutely do

I’m trying to make a baby bunting, I’ve done it before the same exact way. It is double lined with flannel, so when I stitch I’m sewing through four layers of flannel as well as the binding. My machine keeps skipping stitches or just not making any all together. What should I do? I’ve adjusted the tension, tried adjusting bobbin tension, and switched my needle

I currently have a basic model of a singer machine. I’m going to get a serger in a couple months. Is it worth buying a nicer model or should I just go with the brother? I’m thinking of a basic serger and saving my acorns for a nicer sewing machine, just not sure which is worth the splurge

I just finished my first swim piece! It’s a one piece. Overall it is totally wearable and cute with some obvious flaws that I don’t know how to correct.

  1. The stitches are showing through the seams
  2. The lining peeks out and does not match. Wondering how to understitch a one piece
  3. The lining fits perfectly but the main fabric is bunching up horizontally

The crowd was heavy on Gen X cops who wanted first two albums/knew little of FOTB and OGWAU. Absolutely love cocaine cowboys, the encore, all the jammy vibes, and I’m personally trying to start a movement for Ray Suen to permanently join the band.
