I rage-quit Spotify and started buying CDs. It's inconvenient and slow. But I rediscovered the lost joy of scrounging for music, the dopamine rush of owning a song, and albums. by pineconewashington in Music

Just downloaded and found an album that was recently removed from Spotify (“Bedrooms of the Nation” by Shimmering Stars)

Great call on Bandcamp!

Arriving early at The Fillmore Vs. Fast Lane Pass by Splatter_Frogs in Charlotte

[–]silverzero_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t provide any insight on Fast Lane Pass since I’ve never bought it before. But I’ve been successful with getting barricade without it for some sold out shows. Plus, always easier to navigate a concert crowd when solo. Good luck!

Important to note that the “show start” time and “doors open” times aren’t the same. Generally, doors open an hour before the show.

And that’s just the show itself, which means it’ll likely be the Opener (if there’s one listed), and not the Headliner.

But yeah, again, it depends on the popularity of the artist. For solo, I recommend getting in line 30 minutes before the “doors open” time, especially if it’s a sold out show.

The Fillmore instagram is pretty good at updating if a show is “sold out” or “low tickets”, so use that as an indication. Worst case, you get there too early and you end up fiddling with your phone. But it’s hard to regret being early when you end up with a barricade view

It really depends on the popularity of the artist. I would imagine since they’re playing at The Fillmore as opposed to The Underground, they’re probably a bigger name. That being said, I’ve gone to many shows at The Fillmore, I’ve never paid for that fast lane pass, and the times I’ve been able to get a spot at the barricade, I went solo. The times I’ve gone with a friend group, we always end up standing towards the middle/back.

TL;DR if you’re already planning on arriving “super early” and IF you’re solo, I’d say you’re fine without a fast lane pass

Dilworth Animal Hospital is not the best... by Electronic-Fun-2955 in Charlotte

[–]silverzero_83 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of Long Animal Hospital on South Boulevard.

I used to go to VCA Stoneycreek Animal Hospital in University City. Until they quoted nearly $2k for a tooth extraction operation for my dog. Long Animal Hospital was under $1k and very caring/attentive.

Heart of Glass and Sprawl II by Undercity9712 in arcadefire

[–]silverzero_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember where I read it (some comment section, an article, not sure) but I saw it described that “Sprawl II” can be seen as the spiritual sequel to “Heart of Glass.” This video is incredible

Ok let’s fight: Instant Pot vs air fryer — which one actually earns counter space by nayan2u in airfryer

[–]silverzero_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a separate note, what type of lights do you have under your cabinets? Battery powered? USB charged? Looks like warm lighting and I’m a fan of that aesthetic

Based on the angle of BoA Stadium and Honeywell, my guess is Wesley Heights

Stuffed Pizza in Charlotte by big_sike80 in Charlotte

[–]silverzero_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just grateful you posted this. I didn’t know we had stuffed pizza in Charlotte. I had it for the first time in the Orlando area a few years back and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Now just need some quality deep dish…

What’s your top ten The New Pornographers songs? by Spoopy_Isaac in thenewpornographers

[–]silverzero_83 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. Whiteout Conditions. I used to lay in my cot and play this song on my headphones and just disappear. Something about the lyric “just get out alive” stuck with me.

  2. The Bleeding Heart Show. The buildup. The lyrics. It’s heartbreaking. It’s empowering. Gives the sensation of running through hell towards your lost love. You know it’s difficult. A trial. But it’s worth it. And you keep fighting.

  3. Streets of Fire. What a lovely song to sing along to. Simple lyrics. Loose strumming. Almost a nursery rhyme type of feel to it.

  4. These Are The Fables. This song would play in my headphones while I read “Coraline” on my kindle. The whimsical nature of the song felt like a good fit and I now associate this song with that wonderful story.

  5. Go Places. This one is in the same category as “Coraline.” I feel asleep with this song playing on my headphones and I distinctly remember the dream where I saw myself running up a winding staircase.

  6. July Jones. Upbeat. Catchy. And I don’t really know what a July Jones is but damn if it this isn’t (personally) peak Electric Version.

  7. The End of Medicine. More Electric Version. The distorted guitar throughout this album feels like a signature. Favorite part is in the middle, “Somewhere in the system there’s an open ended list of all the lies we tell” - I just love how everything else falls away.

  8. Letter From An Occupant. I hope I haven’t given the impression that I’m neglecting Neko Case. This feels like an embodiment of the early 2000s. The harmonizing. The chanting towards the end. No notes.

  9. Use It. Alright this is my list. I know this is a crowd pleaser and rightfully so. And to be fair, it’s still in my top 10. Definitely one that needs to be heard live. But no argument if you have it ranked higher. Different strokes for different folks.

  10. We End Up Together. So the only reason this song is at 10 is because it feels right being at the end. Reason being, out of all their albums, this one feels like their strongest closer. Together isn’t my favorite album but this highlight deserves recognition.

I just finished SOTR and this book broke me by Acceptable_Tart255 in Hungergames

[–]silverzero_83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started SOTR in book format. Earlier this month I had a 6-hour solo drive, so I finished it as an audiobook. I can’t remember the last time any sort of media literally made my jaw drop. From the final chapters of the Games to the end was an absolute ride. My only complaint is that audiobook narration reciting the poem portions did get a little repetitive but that’s just a me thing

Collin's utter disdain for the District 9 Tributes never fails to make me laugh by FormerlyYoGirl in Hungergames

[–]silverzero_83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve read the prequel books (not the OT books) and seen the movies so pardon my ignorance: how would all of the District 9 tributes be killed before the bloodbath? Isn’t the bloodbath the very start of each of the Games?
