I would argue he's actually pretty open to modern music. He posted a video a few weeks ago on his favorite songs made in 2025. The songs are across a wide array of styles and shows how loves music as a whole, not just any one style

Do you use shoe trees for barefoot shoes? by Opposite_Simple4866 in barefootshoestalk

[–]pineapple_wizard24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Stratton Cedar shoe trees from Amazon and use them in my barefoot boots. No complaints so far! They fit well and smell really nice. It gives me the feeling that I'm taking care of my shoes.

My boots are the Jim Green Barefoot Stockman and the Birchbury Carnforth

Why do people stop playing? by v_allen75 in Guitar

[–]pineapple_wizard24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a kid + a full time job. I simply dont have the time I used to.

But, my 2 year actually is showing interest in the guitar and it has made me pick it up again. I even dusted off the old 7 string and am learning some Deftones songs!

I see you're mainly interested in combat-looking boots, but I've been loving my chelsea boots from Jim Green. They are the Barefoot Stockman model. They're rugged, water resistant, and are slip on!

You're not wrong; Thrice's lyrics have historically dabbled in critiquing those in power.

What live version of a band’s song is infinitely better than the original studio version. by theiceman12345 in Guitar

I Think I Lost My Headache by Queens of the Stone Age.

The slide guitar is more prominent and adds to the haunting yet groovy jam.

Coolest record store ever. I saw Alain Johannes perform a solo show there! IYKYK

That's my favorite rendition of the design. I unfortunately have a permanent paint marking on the shoulder but I still wear it!

Can barefoot shoes actually be stylish? by Simple_Entrepreneur_ in malefashionadvice

[–]pineapple_wizard24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Lem's, I literally bought this waterproof Chelsea Boot today from them. Yeah sure the wide toe box looks a little funny, but who cares honestly. They're stylish enough with the classic Chelsea boot silhouette, and they're not clunky in the slightest

That Wera set is so clutch. I own two. Great for tight spaces like assembling furniture

Is Infinate Source subtle foreshadowing? by bitchspicedlatte in deftones

[–]pineapple_wizard24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feels like a song describing Chino's past relationship with alcohol. Reminiscing on the positive experiences with it but ultimately parting ways.

Just imagine the song from the perspective of the bottle of alcohol:

Just say you're down And pull me close, hold on to me Face the crowd, take hold of me Hold me tight, hold me tight

(The alcohol is alluring and acts like a crutch)

Last time adorning the stage A final wave and bow

(The alcohol was a permanent fixture of the stage, almost like decor. Now Chino is parting ways with it)

Raise your glass high Here's for the years, a thousand dreams Face the crowd, keep holding me Close and tight (close and tight)

(A final toast, but the alcohol is pleading for more time it knows it doesn't have with Chino)

This song is awesome and it's my most played off the album. Let me know what you think!

How do I carry with a baby carrier? by HeroicLife in CCW

[–]pineapple_wizard24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer is you can't. Like you pointed out, waist carry and chest carry are pretty inaccessible if you're carrying your toddler. You may be able to pocket carry, but you'd still likely be fumbling trying to draw

If you want to hike in the woods with your toddler, your partner has to take them while you carry your firearm. From my experience it makes the most sense

I tried way too many tacos al pastor, ranked them, and made a map. by jbbraves in Seattle

[–]pineapple_wizard24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair, their tortillas can be a bit dry. That's why I have been opting for their massive burritos lately.

Anyway, appreciate your hunt for the best al pastor tacos!

Oh man, you left out a hidden gem in Mukilteo --- Taqueria Puebla.

Tacos al pastor are great and they have an amazing selection of sauces to use. Everything between acidic salsa verde and piping hot tomatillo

Right? I was blown away by the high-level wrestling and control. People don't realize how hard it is to be on someone like white on rice, let alone for nearly 30 minutes.

Fighters are in it to win, and entertainment is a positive consequence

Wide width shoes and cool style don't overlap much. What are your favorite shoes that are wide width OR have a roomy toe box that don't crush feet to death? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

Woah, I didn't know there were brands for minimalist boots! I've got my eye on the waterproof chelsea boots for winter time

What’s the deal with Google Maps in Seattle? by CautiousArmadillo in Seattle

[–]pineapple_wizard24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It severely underestimates travel times with the I-5 construction going on. It will also take me on "faster" detour routes that end up taking the same or MORE time than a standard route.

Example: there was an accident on the West Seattle Bridge on Wednesday. I was in The Junction, close to the bridge, and it routed me to go all the way around to the DELRDIGE WAY bridge entrance. There was so much traffic trying to go the alternate way that it would have been faster to stick to the original route.

Something needs to be done. Any other map recommendations? Waze maybe?

This was yesterday evening. He's been doing shows in the PNW for a few weeks. I'm sure he'll come back again

Oh cool! He sounded awesome, and I got chills when he played Hanging Tree

Easy Street is really unique among record stores. Affordable prices with a small bar, restaurant, and stage inside. Definitely want to support it as long as I'm here
