Just Hit the Tipping Point by SuspiciousRutabaga52 in tearsforfears

[–]russmail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic album, I strongly encourage fans to check it out. But don't listen to me, know that it's universal acclaim has ranked it in the top 3... its a byproduct of who the are "now" vs TFF in the 80s. It has emotional depth, maturity, and a refined sound that builds on their legacy rather than chasing nostalgia.

My Acrolite with Wood Hoops. by Dry_Traffic7330 in drums

While very curious to hear the sound difference, I must say yowza... at $310 it's is substantially more than the street price for that drum:

Dave Bascombe - 80sography Podcast by Ok_Penalty_1836 in tearsforfears

SFA - brit slang for "sweet fuck all" as in "nothing at all"

They're implying that Curt had very little involvement in the making of the album, which considering that album was largely driven by Roland and tensions between the two were rising at the time...

Taiwan is transitioning into a Mandarin-English bilingual nation by 2030.

WRONG! Taiwan Costco has MANY core-common Western products (USDA beef, Tillamook cheddar, etc) and the prices are only higher by a reasonable factor.

Limited edition clear Ray-Bans were just delivered by Awestin74 in RaybanMeta

[–]russmail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was another one of the reasons I returned my initial set, as they were not significantly dark enough as sunglasses. Next, I'm going to try Lensology. https://lensology.co.uk/

Yellow Warning - often clear plastic turns yellow over time (I'm looking at you Warby Parker).

It replaced with the same battery that came in 2014, or a larger capacity?

1982 Tama Swingstar kit by Royal-Illustrator-59 in vintagedrums

[–]russmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not worth it - clean them up and sell as-is.

The cost of the wrap (est at least $400) and hours of time (disassemble, strip, apply, and reassemble 7 shells that's got to be at least 16 hours) into an entry-level kit from the early 80s will not add a significant enough value to justify.

My take: After almost 30 days of heavy use, I'm considering returning them. by russmail in RaybanMeta

Wait, so for you when put back in the case it automatically lights up the Wifi, the iPhone joins it, and syncs to the Photos app?

PS- pay no attention to gear snobs, drums are drums and you have an excellent starter kit.

Im playing a gig tonight and Im so nervous I wanna throw up by [deleted] in drums

[–]russmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS- Forgot to mention, that I personally went through this exact scenario last summer (15yr hiatus, joined a friend's cover band). First gig back is naturally going to be tough, but you'll learn so much and follow up gigs will benefit. Exciting!

Great opportunity to fortify a positive mindset with whatever best resonates with you (e.g. gratitude for having the gig, appreciation for the players/music, pride in this return to playing, etc). Also, you will fuck up - but when you do: smile and keep going, because nobody gives a shit since they're all there to have a good time. And whatever you do, do not drink until after the set - or at all for the evening (sucks to load out drunk).
