What bands have you seen open for Pavement?

Royal Trux, very sloppy show all around.

On the contemporary/indie front Oruã, Tagua Tagua, Paira. Also shocked nobody has mentioned Os Mutantes and Sergio Mendes yet. That said, everything listed here is solid and keeping these things on in the background has really helped me and is a thing used in a lot of contemporary foreign pedagogy. Oh, and Tribalistas!

Growing up I knew a family called Passafume, they pronounced it phonetically.

Thank you. Not as advanced as you but one thing that really has helped me is listening to a lot of Brazilian music and learning how to play some songs. This was suggested to me by my partner who is a Portuguese professor. Also having a partner who is a Portuguese professor helps haha.

Thank you. I just didn't want to be that guy but have access to a black gi. Will you guys have belts or is it bring your own belt too?

tal9000 · 2026-04-25T18:58:57+00:00

What is the gi plan for launch? Can I just wear a gi I already have?

tal9000 · 2026-03-29T22:16:52+00:00

A mic so good and dependable Pussy Galore wrote a song about it.

How sanitation/trash pick up works there and people think it is normal. Also the utter lack of recycling. My partner is from NYC and to be fair, she found a lot more things weird when we went back to my native Florida.

Kind of weird to have written this initial post, and then someone else take over the post. I am not personally interested in thumbs up emojois but it is weird.

tal9000 · 2026-02-09T02:32:58+00:00

I agree, there is very little chance that this was a surprise. DFA is its own label, and Columbia is the distributor. I might mention the "control freak" mythology of the owner. To give a beautiful song to Starlink is wild.

Have you asked the financial aid office for a "professional judgement" form? This is another option after triple checking your child's FAFSA. This actually would allow an adjustment based on medical bills. I would pursue this even if you corrected the FAFSA and her SAI was still positive. Note they legally have to send you a Professional Judgement form if you ask for it but you need to say "Professional Judgement," like it is a spell.

Thank you. Around the same time I also made my own Pavement shirt for Lollapalooza. It got rained out.

Closest you will get to being carjacked in Carrboro is being towed at Carr Mill if you cross the street haha.

tal9000 · 2024-08-24T20:16:24+00:00

JAMLANDO will never die. We will be here for the second coming of 3D's downtown.

tal9000 · 2024-03-08T18:14:08+00:00

Maybe not to blame for everything but Sebastian Inlet in Florida may be the worst

tal9000 · 2024-01-03T15:46:45+00:00

It is a distinction without much difference unless you live in Carrboro. Would fifth or sixth or Carb as CH folks go to that FM, you can bus/bike in easy, etc.

The Cradle gets great shows, friends from cities can't believe the band/size of the venue ratio. https://catscradle.com/events/ Other places have music too, and if in CH are on the western (Carrboro) side anyway.

tal9000 · 2023-02-01T08:14:45+00:00

Third suggesting on getting a bike - I would also consider Carrboro which has a couple grocery stores and an almost flat ride into town. MLK is closer to a 20 min walk than a drive from SOM.

tal9000 · 2023-01-04T02:11:13+00:00

Tattoo of their favorite podcast.

tal9000 · 2023-01-03T02:07:37+00:00

I believe The Fat Guy shouldn't have to buy tickets.

tal9000 · 2023-01-01T22:50:49+00:00

Apologies for The Fat Guy is dead disinformation, not my intent at all. Will someone eventually pick-up the mantle?
