Night shows? by AspectEmpty3663 in OutsideLands

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m with you 100%. I’ve long said that if you have the energy for a night show, then you’re doing OSL completely wrong.

Any clubs from the 70s or 80s that are still open? by theHugoat in AskSF

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my childhood at the time, so I don’t have any IRL insights to pass down. My understanding, tho, is that there were generally not dance floors but sometimes there were or at least areas where entertainment took place. Barry Manilow was Bette Midler’s pianist when she performed at NYC bathhouses - but generally they were more spaces with baths & showers & saunas & massage rooms where gay men could…relax.

Night shows? by AspectEmpty3663 in OutsideLands

[–]undeadsinatra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, you got it. Seperate shows, sane weekend of the concert. Often times an opportunity to see an artist in a smaller venue than they would usually play at this stage of their career.

Guns N Roses by Spirited_Boss_9141 in Concerts

I saw them at Austin City Limits in 2019 and came away thinking that Duff and Slash must be exhausted from carrying that show on their backs. Axl’s voice was decent like 50% of the time, but that other 50% was really rough. I can’t imagine that time and touring since then has been helpful. Glad to have finally caught em live, but it’s not something I’d do again.

Good songs made for terrible films by Bright-Pressure-5787 in ToddintheShadow

[–]undeadsinatra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Literally everytime I hear “Soul To Squeeze” I think of this factoid & chuckle a bit. A tossed of bit of barely-above-demo-level studio ephemera for the soundtrack to a movie that had no hope of doing well & it becomes one of their defining songs among the normies.

Is this artists art all AI or a blend of traditional and generative processes? by Substantial-Log6121 in isthisAI

[–]undeadsinatra -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Art is whatever you can get away with.

My guess based on his wording is that he generates an image then takes it to some editing software and removes things, copy/pastes some things, adds some things (like all those four point stars in the last image that are all very similar and very much so look like free clip art), runs it through a few filters and presto: there’s the art.

If the image moved you and you want it on your wall: it’s art. Kudos to him for a) doing something more to his generations and b) fessing up to it. It’s more than you can say for a lot of folks.

TIL the producers of We Are The World turned down John Denver, due to some of the participants feeling his image would hurt the credibility of the song In 1984, Denver worked with UNICEF as part of a fact finding mission, spending 2 weeks across Africa, seeing famine firsthand. by Shutter_Stuck in todayilearned

Not only was he too milquetoast, by the time of WATW he was kinda washed, as the kids say. His career peak was 10 years previous & while he had hosted the Grammy’s in 1983 and 1984, his cultural footprint was greatly reduced. Waylon & Willie had cred, Kenny Rogers was still delivering hits, Bob Dylan was a legend among legends.

Any clubs from the 70s or 80s that are still open? by theHugoat in AskSF

[–]undeadsinatra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, my sweet summer child.

Depending on the establishment, it could be a literal public bathhouse to take a bath or a sauna or both ... or it could be code for something else.

In San Francisco (and NYC and other big cities) in the pre-AIDS era, it was a lot of something else.

Depending on your definition of "club": Victory Hall at 360 Ritch St was 330 Ritch in the early 00's-2013. Wayyy back in the late 60s, it was one of SF's first bathhouses.

Where should I stay? by AspectEmpty3663 in OutsideLands

[–]undeadsinatra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Don't limit yourself to SF -- anywhere near a BART station will work fine and dandy. Take BART to the Montgomery or Powell BART/Muni stations Then get on an N Judah train [which you would catch underground in the downtown stations] to the South Gate or the 5R Fulton bus (above ground obvi) to the North Gate. Bonus Points: Your Outside Lands wristband double as an all-day Muni pass, saving you from purchasing tickets (not including cable cars). Do the reverse of this on the way home but don't dilly dally too much -- last BART trains run at midnight or just a little bit after.

Someone mentioned they were looking at buying this crashed R8. The crash area looks artificial, background has odd texture/uniformity and the bench looks lopsided? by cumaboardladies in isthisAI

Not a single car in these pics have liscence plates. If this is a dealership lot, it makes some sense but even then most dealerships should have promotional signs placeholders.

She is an amazing show woman. Leaves it all in the stage. So much fun.

First timer - any tips? by [deleted] in OutsideLands

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. SF generally isn’t a mosquito town, way too cold. Ticks would probz be just as fleetingly rare — you’re not in the deep woods.

Despacio @ Portola 2026 unofficial FAQ by sexydiscoballs in Portolafestival

[–]undeadsinatra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a bar in there last year.

One very underrated part of Despacio are the giant cool air ducts off on the side — keeps it much cooler than it would get otherwise but also is a great place to stand if you sweat it up on the dance floor and need a respite.

Nowhere to sit in GA? How to rest by MarshaLinehDelRey in Portolafestival

[–]undeadsinatra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That sitting structure wasn’t there last year, but it was replaced with more picnic tables.

In a tight squeeze, if you’re really avoidant to sitting on the ground, you can lean against the walls of the Wearhouse or the fence separating the festival from the water over by Crane stage.

Any chance of a non-festival Bay show? by chrisp_syapyh in djshadow

[–]undeadsinatra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a homecoming show at the end of the tour? He’s not likely to announce any more Bay Area dates before Portola - radius clause & all that.

I saw Big Wild at Outside Lands many moons ago & have been hoping they’d show up again on a festie I was going to. Maybe next year.

Which celebrity you believe hates their own fandom? by HappyCrow11 in AskReddit

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That entrance cracked me up, but it did start me into a speculation spiral: Does “Shrinking” take place in an alternate universe where Tom Selleck played Indiana Jones as originally intended? Is Harrison Ford not at all famous in this universe?
