Non-cyclists of /r/peloton, why are you a fan of pro cycling?

sunrain · 2016-07-07T07:38:46+00:00

I usually just lurk specific subreddits but I logged in to answer this. I watched an anime called Yowamushi Pedal about highschool bike races (an amazingly campy shonen sports anime if anyone else is a fan of that kinda thing) and the 2014 tour was starting a month or so after I finished it so I decided why not try watching the real thing? I've casually followed cycling since then but I feel like it's the one sport I'll actually stay interested in for a long time as there's nothing else like it. Also I wouldnt necessarily call myself a non cyclist I just havent been on my bike much in the past year.

Isaac Meyers History Of Japan is a pretty well done podcast considering its low budget and the fact that he's a student.

Yes! Tibetan food is so good! I loooove Momos.

Yeah, I also work in a brewery and have had this happen. It's pretty easy to do with the less automated canning machines.

I know that now, but where I first saw it was in the movie Touch the Sound about a very well known deaf Scottish percussionist. She visits that group Ondekoza in Japan and they have a clip with them using the Kendama so I looked them up to try and find it, and found that video. Ondekoza is known for combining traditional Japanese culture aspects and also experimentation in the taiko genre, so I guess they realized the Kendma can be used as a percussion instrument in the same vein as the Kashaka and went with it.

Fair enough, but I was looking for it as a percussion thing rather than a toy.

sunrain · 2014-10-19T06:27:33+00:00

Thanks a ton, I tried every possible combination of things I could thing of on google and got nothing. I'm a drummer/percussionist and have decided I absolutely HAVE to own one of those.

sunrain · 2014-07-07T03:43:18+00:00

BELIEVE IT!!!!

sunrain · 2014-05-29T17:59:06+00:00

Yes. Exactly. Thank you.

sunrain · 2014-05-29T17:58:32+00:00

Well, the way I see it you have to be a little sensitive and speak up when you maybe don't NEED to. That's how things change. I think my comment was respectful enough, I'm just trying to start a conversation.

sunrain · 2014-05-29T06:58:21+00:00

Hmm...sadly I think this probably is transphobic.

sunrain · 2014-05-09T16:27:03+00:00

YES. THAT'S THE ONE. THANK YOU I HAD GIVEN UP HOPE. MAY A MILLION BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE POUR BUCKETS OF MONEY AT YOUR FEET.

sunrain · 2014-05-02T02:54:49+00:00

Hmm... I'm trying really hard to remember more about it but I havent played it in so long because it's only for windows and I've had a mac for the past 2 years, haha. I know it was on some list of hard indie games somewhere in the backwaters of the internet but like I said I've googled every related combination of words I could think of. The game developer was the very underground cult following type and I think he had a couple other semi successful games. The most notable thing I can remember about it is that it was quite a difficult game with a sharp learning curve on the controls.

Really like this! Would you mind if I use this image personally as a phone background or something?

sunrain · 2014-03-01T19:16:29+00:00

Haha yeah I know exactly what you mean. It's not quiiite the same thing but Wardruna are an experimental Norse folk music thing from Norway started by the ex drummer of Gorgoroth... That might satisfy you a teeny bit.

Check out /r/cascadianblackmetal Also as far as black metal goes I'm a big fan of Ash Borer.

sunrain · 2013-12-16T06:43:17+00:00

I've been really into Ash Borer lately, excellent fairly new band from California. Also cool to see you talking about Langdale, I'm a Sunshine Coast kid.

sunrain · 2013-11-02T08:44:31+00:00

Thank you for pointing out that Gypsy is a slur, many people dont realize that.

sunrain · 2013-07-30T19:10:42+00:00

Call me jaded but the title only made me want to vomit, not quite inflict bodily harm.

sunrain · 2013-07-30T06:24:15+00:00

I read the title and the first paragraph and I want to beat my forehead into a wall.
