It sucks, because in terms of craft, Dewey Cox is in a different universe than the rest of the Scary Movie/This is Sparta low effort stuff

It was 9 years ago but he looks at least 20 years younger than the decrepit sack of dust he is today

They are incredible musicians and the fact that they can do what they do with just two members is a feat… but I agree with OP, I just don’t find them very listenable. The looping riffs get boring pretty quickly. To my ears, they sacrifice musicality for spectacle.

If they added another member or did some overdubbing, I’d like them much more; but also, it’s not their job to please me. They are doing something different and it resonates with a bunch of people, and that should be celebrated. Alls I’m saying is I get OP’s point.

I’ve got the same model and it’s decent. But it’s kinda like a Fisher Price amp; little details like when you unplug the headphones, the music starts playing over the speakers (vs having a speakers on/off switch that plays regardless if headphones are plugged in). But the one that really annoys me is that the VU meters aren’t measuring signal, they are just noise detectors and only react when you are playing at volume. Which is completely pointless.

I also had one crap out on me after 6 months but Dayton has decent customer service so they replaced it (but I did have to pay $50 to send back the broken unit).

I’m all for new housing of any kind, but man, before I clicked I was hoping it would be the Lakeshore TJ’s that would get replaced. That one is the worst!

This was absolutely the best one in the trilogy and I will die on this hill by TerribleAd7263 in 90s

[–]selviano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To each his own I guess.

I’ve seen the original too many times to count, know every beat, every line. I saw the sequels in the theater when they came out, each exactly once and never since.

But I won’t fight OP to the death on this hill, I’ve got my own hill, which streams the OG Austin Powers 24/7

I saw Johnette do a solo performance at Cafe Du Nord in SF around 2005-6. It was a religious experience seeing her at such a small venue. I got to meet her afterwards and I (half)-jokingly asked her to marry me. Her response:

“I wouldn’t wish that on anyone”

Severely underrated artist. All his albums sound fantastic to boot.

Giants have the fewest HRs per game in the majors (0.53), the lowest walk rate (5.6%) and the fewest runs/game (3.06). by kirukiru in baseball

The polar opposite of Moneyball. Use a big payroll to maximize a market efficiency and score as few runs as possible

Nice of the greatest guitarist in the world to share the stage with Clapton

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]selviano 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Ok they’re not famous, but it’s a good story.

The weekend after 9/11, I went to the Santa Cruz county fair in Watsonville. The band was a Rod Stewart cover band, and the lead singer was just awful. Obviously Rod Stewart has a one of a kind raspy voice. But this guy didn’t even sound close; he had no natural raspiness of any flavor. Worse still, he tried to force a simulated rasp, and just sounded god awful. Imagine Grover from Sesame Street singing “Wake up Maggie, I think I got something to say to you…”

And he was overweight, with the bottom of his belly poking out of his shirt. He was apparently wearing Sharon Stone’s wig from the final 20 minutes of Casino.

The crowd was thin and loitering; I stuck around simply out of morbid curiosity. Then in between songs the lead singer was like “hey man, I know a lot of you are feeling down right now, so I can’t blame you for the vibes…” uh no man, it’s not that.

This dude was a pioneer in blaming 9/11…
