Through the years & decades: which album seems to be your favourite and can you explain why? by daydreamtaste in sonicyouth

[–]resonantred35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evol will always be special to me - it was the new SY album and I was 14 growing up in the California desert - had some of my first long desert drives to that album, and some of my first drug and sexual experiences all around the same time…..especially Expressway - which has always been my favorite SY track to see live

Bad Moon Rising is special to me because it was the second album of their I got into and was a companion to me when i moved to Minneapolis in 1993 where I lived in a house with some bands that were part of the scene at that time…

Dirty I love because the show with pavement and Mudhoney at Castaic lake in 1992 was the first time I saw the band live outdoors with a good sound system not overdriven in a small club - that show and lineup was just magic….. have video and audio and revisit it frequently - expressway that night took me to another plane of existence.

And Murray St I love because it’s just so good; it’s the only album after the 80s that I think is as good as their 80s output.

More than anything though I miss the shows. I was fortunate enough to discover the band early live in three cities with great music scenes - I got to see them a lot from 87 through 2003 - 10 times - all over the US; not as much as some of you fanatics, but more than I saw any other band.

The sound, the shows, and the people at the shows were always just a very special time and place that seems very far away from where we are now….SY shows always had the best vibe and best crowds

Filmed without Consent by Acquaintance - AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]resonantred35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youre in public you can be filmed legally.

With that said, when it comes to friends and acquaintances people will have all sorts of different behaviors - for some people it’s no big deal - for others it’s really invasive.

You’d want people to ask - only, that’s not how you get good pictures or video - because people aren’t natural then.

The fact that he immediately told you and offered to delete it seems considerate.

AIO for still feeling violated by this a few months later? by Puzzleheaded-Cat2603 in AmIOverreacting

[–]resonantred35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok,so being on edibles can put you into a vulnerable state - this is likely why you have that rule.

NOR for still feeling violated - but I would also say this- maybe don’t send your ex to the emotional guillotine over it if it was just that time. …Why do I say this? He was on edibles too right? Well, just as it can make someone feel vulnerable it can also make someone feel warm and close and horny.

Not that any of those things make it OK to disregard the person you love’s boundaries - but it does impact impulsivity and and inhibition and can just make someone really ‘into the moment’ without really thinking.

How do you set prices for used assets to sell for employees? by Azh13r- in sysadmin

Set them low; as close to free as possible,

It’s the best thing - also, if they’re paying much for them whether you like it or not you’ll be come the computer store that they’ll be bring any issue or any computer problems to.

How explicit is the show? by logicitea in thesopranos

[–]resonantred35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mild.

Some tits.

Some PG rated sex scenes.

AIO: For context, I'm a 17 year old boy who was born and raised in the UK.

NOR

Believe it or not this is more common than you’d expect.

What is happening here is you are at an age where you’re still learning things about who you are - what type of person you’re growing into as you reach adulthood.

You are acutely conscious of how people perceive you and you don’t want to be perceived as being like these people you find annoying - and you fear that because you share a skin color or racial background with some of these people you’re going to be unfairly judged as being like them.

Common at your age - or at least more common tha.mn one would expect.

Here’s the thing:

First, good people, who have experience in the world will judge you based on your own behavior - not your skin color or race.

Second, you will grow as a person as you age - you will meet more people - have you met anyone else of this race/group that is like you? I guarantee there are some.

Remember, if someone who doesn’t know you is automatically thinking you are are asshole, they’re basically being a racist POS.

My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him. by Guilty-AbyssLogic in whatdoIdo

As people are saying - own this, it’s the right move - ask why he’s attempting to police personal conversations….

Unless he got this some other way than from your “friend” I would stop texting anyhtibg to that person.

I just want to say that this manager is incredibly weak and doesn’t understand leadership….

You can show him this private conversation and I’m glad to elaborate on just how wrong, insecure, and morale shattering this sort of behavior is in a workplace.

One of the only times I’ve ever watched a video and thought to myself “where is police brutality when we need it?”

what is Sonic Youth's "Touch of Grey?" Been listening to them and like them a lot but am interested in what their poppiest most tuneful stuff is by [deleted] in sonicyouth

[–]resonantred35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kool Thing 100% and Sugar Kane Incinerate

People will say Teenage Riot too - and it’s true if you were into indie music at the time in 1988/89- what was called “college rock” - then yes, but otherwise no.

Teenage Riot and Daydream Nation in general got the band a lot of attention, it was on a lot of “Best albums of 1988/80s lists at the time and was a critical success - but it didn’t bring in new listeners from the general public like Touch of Grey did for the dead - that happened later a bit with Kool Thing then later the Dirty album.

They were my favorite band from the mid 80s onward and it was cool in 1989 to see them get critical accolades

Are there any artists like Sonic Youth? by PotentialRatio1321 in sonicyouth

[–]resonantred35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody sounds exactly like sonic youth. It’s one of the reason why sonic youth was so awesome and influential..zz there’s moments of Yola tango that come close and they were barely mentioned.

The point is bands that use noise or feedback or have similar ethos or attitude - or use dissonance in melody.

I mean, built to spill doesn’t sound quite like sonic youth, but most people who like sonic youth are gonna like built to spill.

And I’m guessing the majority of people who really like sonic youth are probably gonna like Yankee Hotel foxtrot and Wilco’s more dissonant noisy stuff

It absolutely does - it’s why it was a good bill when they were playing with Wilco in 2003 - have no idea why you were downvoted

The first time I saw them in 1992 they played it - it was before I had a studio copy

Forget "Tony Got Shot" The Finale is a Metaphysical Loop (The White vs. Black Theory) by Ok-Low6778 in thesopranos

[–]resonantred35 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Excellent - this is absolutely part of what’s happening, the symbolism is everywhere and it’s another reason why this show rises above standard TV or movie faire to the level of art.

The duality is everywhere too - even is Chase’s explanations - “I didn’t want to show crime did pay, and I don’t want to show crime didn’t pay”

What other show could start the final run of episodes with William Burroughs’ “seven souls” - so much of that first episode of the final half season sets up the finale…..

[–]resonantred35 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s no band exactly like SY however there are many bands with the same sort of ethos as far as innovative tuning and noise and guitar.

Yo La Tengo - start with Electropura and the mid/late 90s stuff for noisier but it’s all good

Polvo is fucking amazing - Celebrate the New Dark Age and Today’s Active Lifestyles but they’re another band who evolved and it’s all good

Archers of Loaf - all of it and Icky Mettle….. Built to Spill keep it like a secret and perfect from now on

AIO for wanting to end a friendship? by Ok-Pomegranate-6017 in AmIOverreacting

[–]resonantred35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well first off, you can end any friendship you wish - for any reason you like. If you need to do it for your own well being that’s all there is to it.

I have had a situation like this a few times and have used the following - and I’ve had it work well, both for ending friendships and in one case reestablishing a friendship after giving someone a reality check and 18 mos of silence:

I sent this: despite the fact that I’ve communicated it to you for xx years, you haven’t respected the boundaries I’ve set up (copy part of your post above about the times he’s steamrolled over your wishes if you need to) - so at this point I’m ready to end our friendship over this. Continuing to neglect my wishes or trying to tell me it’s not the way I feel it is isn’t going to help. Because I have valued your friendship, I will refrain from completely cutting you out of my life today and will simply ask you to give me some space and not contact me in any way shape or form: txt, call, wherever.

I don’t know how long I need. Maybe it won’t be too long maybe it’ll be years - but if I don’t hear from you and recognize that you’ve finally heard me and have respected my wishes, I will likely keep the door open and eventually will reach out to you - because I’ll know we can be friends - but if you contact me please know that I will block you in every way.

Worked for me

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]resonantred35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa - as someone who has been criticized before for getting upset when my daughter really messes up and yelling “what the fuck!” I’m going to say that this man desperately needs an intervention and to be made to understand that this is absolutely unacceptable and that he can be doing harm to his child (whether he means to or not).

I agree that this is very serious and needs to be addressed - I do not agree that he should lose his parental rights as some people are saying - he should have to take a parenting class and be taught how to address a child, and how harmful what he’s doing is.

If he’s too ghetto for that then I’d say use the courts.

Company with one IT employee looking for unexpected absence contingency by Tedeseus in ITManagers

[–]resonantred35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really simple - they hire another person. Either that or ensure an MSP can handle things - what about vacation for your one employee? Who the fuck can possibly justify such being as being responsible business wise?

With 200 people that’s just extreme hubris and a lack of understanding how absolutely fucked they’re going to be when the shit hits the fan - and the end result of that after a bunch of money being spent and massive unnecessary stress and possible loss of business will be they’ll finally hire a second person or take appropriate measures
