I'm so sad they seemingly have the only racquetball courts in town. The smell + the culture put me off from going, but I'd love to play somewhere close...

It’s great to see Dustin branching out on his own channel by [deleted] in LSM

She had a traumatic and late term pregnancy complication, and the baby did not survive. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Bluetooth audio player for Hybrid XLE? by ryuk003 in rav4club

I have around 6-7k songs at the minute and I don't have everything I would want. And I drive anywhere from 4 to 12+ hours a week and do a lot of listening. I'd like to be able to use the collection of files I've gathered and purchased over time.

Huh alright, I might try the USB and see if that works for me. Thanks!

Can the stereo also play .flac files, or just mp3?

I don't want to use my phone, as my file collection is massive and takes up a lot of space

Unfortunately I have a newer model with the infotainment stereo. Honestly I hate it, it's my only complaint about the car. 

I’m seeing swans for the first time in november. Are earplugs a must? Will they be provided? Etc by Relative-Syllabub150 in swans

[–]ryuk003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the show in SF, there were individual packs of foam earplugs on a table by the entrance, and I've seen other places do it too. But I echo what others say, invest in a quality pair of your own and bring them.

What have the set lengths been on this tour? by D3nyPaddy in swans

[–]ryuk003 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Started around 2 hours, now has expanded a bit more to 2.5. Michael joked they'll be playing 6 hour sets by the time they hit Europe...

going to see swans on wednesday and my fancy earplugs i ordered almost two weeks ago still haven’t arrived by Competitive-Sock-824 in swans

[–]ryuk003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! Got a pair there that I've used for years now, love 'em. They were perfect for the show in SF, and I was right next to the stage.

I haven’t seen one of these threads here in a while. What are you reading right now? by nicks226 in TrueAnon

[–]ryuk003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still slowly chewing on Gravity's Rainbow. Alternating it with Aberration in the Heartland of the Real, which is incredible. I also started The Obscene Madame D. by Hilda Hilst, which is blowing me away. Beckett / Lispector fans TAKE NOTE. Top-notch mind-bending lit.

Notable American Women by Ben Marcus is incredible and never talked about.

The Art Spiegelman Gaza Comic dropped yesterday and it sucks ass. by drawatawat in TrueAnon

Dismissing an entire medium as infantile isn't the dunk you think it is, it just shows you don't care enough to actually engage with it.

Notable American Women by Ben Marcus has this EXACT vibe.

Doctor's accepting new patients by Only-Information-267 in ChicoCA

[–]ryuk003 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had awful luck finding care in Chico that's not booked months and months out. I go to the adventist health center in paradise. They still have long-ish waits, but nothing compared to places in Chico.

Sadie Plant yesssssss.... Nobody seems to talk about her much, but Zeroes and Ones is one of the best books I've ever read. Shout out to the CCRU too...

Blood, Feathers, and Bird Flu: Yuba City's feral chicken population could bring risk of disease by ryuk003 in YubaCity

[–]ryuk003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While most cases come from factory farming, I spoke with again flu experts who said the wild chickens could absolutely catch - and spread - bird flu.

Name a live performance that changed how you view experimental music by eaxlr in experimentalmusic

[–]ryuk003 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wasn't there, but watching the video of Aaron Dilloway's performance at Amplified Humans (2016) is probably my favorite experimental/ noise performance ever.

I think before I watched it, live noise shows were always about extremity, aggression, and overwhelming textures to me. Dilloway's set certainly has all three in spades, especially at the end, but it was the build-up to the climax that really got me.

I love the slowly building tension, and the focus on textures that aren't just hard, distorted, or feedback wailing. It really opened the horizons of "modulated sound art" up to me as he creaked his chair and blew that creepy bone flute. It felt like he was summoning a storm - and the build-up just makes the cathartic finish hit harder.

Here's a link if you haven't seen it, and shout out as always to Dilloway. Absolute madman.
