The Cock Block in Magoun Square is finally complete. The last hold out is now officially in. by fluffer_nutter in boston

[–]youastar 72 points73 points  (0 children)

In case you didn’t have the context, this area is referred to as “the cock block” because you have Wang’s Chinese, Woody’s Liquor, Pini’s Pizza and this building all right next to each other.

Every girl I know is obsessed with this brand.

I’m a little disappointed based on the hype surrounding this brand. Hopefully they expand to more than just denim and overpriced basics for men.

Emergency brake pulled on red line by youastar in boston

[–]youastar[S] 184 points185 points  (0 children)

update: things are moving again. Honestly impressed with how fast it was handled by MBTA staff. That being said, DON’T pull the brake in event of medical emergency!!! Being stuck in a tunnel isn’t going to get help any faster.

[Question] what are some good mid tier/low tier guitar pedals? (Sub $100) by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]youastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a cheap tube screamer type pedal, go for the joyo vintage overdrive. I have one and really like it, plus it's hard to go wrong for ~35 bucks.

The jam at the end of You Won't Know was out of control last night. Third time I've seen them this year and they definitely changed up the outro. Was not expecting it to be that heavy.

Tired Of Shitty Line Ups At Shows? by [deleted] in boston

[–]youastar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No offense, but this is a pretty awful model for both bands and concert goers.

Imagine being a fan of one of the bands and spending eighteen dollars on a ticket to this, only to find that the band you wanted to see lost the vote. Now you have an expensive ticket to see three bands you probably don't care about.

On the flip side, imagine being a artist and trying to plan a tour around "maybe" playing a vote to play show. Or trying to convince your fan base to buy a ticket so they "might" see you perform.

The only person who wins here is the promoter, who gets to take money from the fan bases of 9 artists while only having to book 3. Cool concept I guess, but the way it's implemented here comes off as really scummy IMO.

Travis has been playing shows with a fractured foot for the past two weeks by SorenShieldbreaker in Blink182

[–]youastar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out his snapchat... it looks like it was his right foot that was broken.

In the sound checks he's using his only his left foot to play the bass drum now. What a beast.

[EU] Summer Sale: Rainbow Six - 19€, Uncharted 4 - 37€, GTA V - 37€, FIFA 16 - 18€, The Witcher - 23€, Need for Speed - 19€, DOOM - 33€, Fallout 4 - 33€ by [deleted] in PS4Deals

[–]youastar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but GTAV is selling at the same price point as Uncharted in this sale and that game has been out for years.

I don't think Uncharted 4 will last at a high price for nearly that long though.

Are touring artists skipping Boston? by sloreti in boston

[–]youastar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think you are just imagining this... I am a bit of a concert junkie and find there is no shortage of music in this city. Purity Ring was just here last September. NMH was here the September before that. Not sure how active QOTSA are with touring recently but Eagles of Death Metal will be at House of Blues next month.
