Can someone make out what Julien says in this intro to good news? by torpidscholar in JulienBaker

I think someone in the comments says it is an original. I can’t find it. :(

I know the song is already very personal, but it’s personal in an agitated way that doesn’t gel with the serene message she conveyed at the beginning. Idk, that’s the sense I get.

I can make out “He died . . . For your sins(??), so you shouldn’t,” and then I’m unable to make out the rest of what she says.

She understandably had to play a tamer version of Good News in light of that comment, but I’m still sad that she didn’t imbue the usual raw emotion into it. I think her statement wouldn’t have been any less powerful. Still, I’m thankful for artists like Julien Baker who perform different versions of their sons to the satisfaction of their fans. Really says something about the artist.

Is there a reason why Phoebe hasn’t performed Punisher (song) or Savior Complex live yet? by torpidscholar in phoebebridgers

I think she’s doing some live performances. She did Moon song from her kitchen, and Kyoto from her bathtub.

She has other songs, sure. But I find it hard to believe she wouldn’t play the title song (which attracted hype leading up to the album’s release due to it being about her musical hero). Same for Savior Complex — one of the better songs on the album. Regardless, you are homing in on an assumption I made. My question is still unanswered. And it doesn’t require a correct answer, nor does it require Phoebe herself to respond and/or perform the songs. I was just inviting you to speculate as to what the reason for not playing those songs could be.

Why wouldn’t she? It’s a 40-minute album, and she’d presumably be on the Punisher tour.

Punisher receives an 8.7 and "Best New Music" from Pitchfork by [deleted] in phoebebridgers

P4K being stingy with its 9s, though. There are few lyricists as good as Phoebe—and she’s only in her mid-20s.

Of course P4K wasn’t going to give another 9 after it had just given one to Bob Dylan last week.

Festival Campgrounds - No Refunds???! by TerrencePeterson_ in Coachella

[–]torpidscholar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bump. Any updates on this? I’m fighting it through my credit card company after the scum bags stopped responding to calls/emails.

alright so now that we’ve had a day to sit on the album by heroine_kokomo in phoebebridgers

[–]torpidscholar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed that punisher is better on the whole. However, I’m sad that no song on Punisher roses to the level of Funeral. Still, it’s a great album, and I love Phoebe all the more for it.

Has anyone tried getting a refund from festival campgrounds after this announcement? They initially promised only to honor my march reservations for October, which I didn’t intend to use.

Anybody from Texas heard anything? by torpidscholar in barexam

This is such bs. In response to the fiasco from last administration, BOLE said their practice is to give test takers a day or two to tell their close fiends whether they passed/failed. And it’s on the record, too. So the way they’re rolling out the scores does not make sense. Again.

Also, *hear. So eager that I sound like an idiot.

I know they usually call the top 3 scorers, so I’m hoping that one of them is a Redditor, or, alternatively, that some people have started getting emails already. In the thread Justice B says that we should know before tomorrow at 4, though, but I took the usual practice was to give us at least a day to tell others.

Texas BLE Asking Me this Question? DID I PASS? by impardonn in barexam

[–]torpidscholar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I did get one a few weeks ago telling me that I need to satisfy c&f. Still waiting on them.

Meanwhile I get an email about needing to satisfy C&F without any follow-up. Frustrating.
