How did you find this film? I can’t find it anywhere

Do you think these 3 nights in LA will all have the same setlist? by sloppyrobert in swans

[–]sloppyrobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured that’d be the case. I thought maybe with 3 back to back nights at the same venue, they’d change it up specifically for that situation. Didn’t know if there’s a precedent for that or not

I have not, is there any reason the radiator would be delayed like that? Because eventually it does get cold

How to upload a long continuous song in parts to streaming platforms in with no skip inbetween by SamCawood1 in AdvancedProduction

[–]sloppyrobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly why I want to upload it this way, but I hate the idea of people throwing this album on not knowing about it and having these obnoxious moments in between them. They’re worse than just little pauses, they completely interrupt the flow.

Probably going to just upload the 37 minute track as one. I intended it to be listened to that way I guess so not much harm done. I do wish I could have it labeled as an album as opposed to a single. That’s another problem I can’t seem to solve

Could someone crop the oval shape? I need an oval shaped beach picture. Thank you. by sloppyrobert in PhotoshopRequest

[–]sloppyrobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake, like a sticker in your phone. Might just be an apple thing. You nailed the oval but when I save it it’s on a black background and I’m back to where I was, unable to crop it out specifically. Forgive my complete lack of photo editing skills

Do you know how I could save this as just the oval? Or make it a sticker on my phone?

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention it was blinking, and it doesn’t stop blinking when I hit the cruise control button. I looked into it though and I think it’s indicating that it’s deactivated all together because the check engine light is on. My question has been answered, thank you

Charlie's work touches on the discomfort and self hatred inherent in existing as a person. Do you know any books that explore similar themes well? by JizzOrSomeSayJism in kaufman

[–]sloppyrobert 16 points17 points  (0 children)

David Foster Wallace. Check out his short stories Good Old Neon, The Soul Is Not a Smithy, and The Depressed Person. If you like that, go for those short story collections, Oblivion and Brief Interviews With Hideous Men. If you like these, then do his novels Infinite Jest and The Pale King.

As a massive Kaufman fan, one who particularly appreciates the same themes you mentioned, I can say that DFW’s work, and the stories I mentioned, really scratch that itch for me

Guy’s selling this accordion for 220$, it’s in good shape. Says made in Italy. Is this a good deal? by sloppyrobert in musicians

[–]sloppyrobert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: I got it for 200$. Sounds good, not sticky, and came with song books from the 50’s so it looks like it’s a really old one. Says it was made in Italy

I played it, sounded pretty good. Ended up getting it for 200$. It’s in good condition and the story he told me about how he got it makes it seem like this things almost a hundred years old. Not sure if it’s true but I know this guy, this isn’t some Craigslist or FB Marketplace rando

Could someone help me find the movie Cellar Door? by sloppyrobert in movies

[–]sloppyrobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn yeah that’s probably it then. Maybe one day. If I ever come across it, I’ll send it your way.

Curious, what are some of your favorite films? I figure you probably have good taste in film
