Spotify is a great resource for voracious music lovers. I pay $15/mo. for multiple users, have curated multiple playlists, and use it daily. It sits along the several terabytes of music I have ripped...
The theory that Jason Simpson could have been the killer will likely resurface again.

Especially if they discover the Downbeats are the ones with stains.
Maybe the directors didn’t factor in someone would be watching 50 years later to complain about their trendy decisions. :lol
We got it the 4th time. Move on.
I think the general consensus is that V and Beware of Darkness are their two most consistently lauded albums. But if all I have ever hear is “The Light”, I wouldn’t jump to V, I’d go to Beware of...
OH MY GOD! Preach it.
I totally understand. “Bothers” was a poor choice of words on my part.
The difference is that it doesn’t bother me that the album doesn’t stay consistently proggy. Their previous album does this as well.
Medeski, Martin, and Wood immediately comes to mind. Also, Ståle Storløkken appears on several other Rune Grammofon releases, including newer albums from Krokofant and Hedvig Mollestad.
Tame Impala is pretty popular, and the last album "The Slow Rush" was dripping in late 70s/early 80s pop motifs.

I personally think labels like these in general have much less value than they did 25-30 years ago. Back in that day, it was much more difficult to hear the music, so reviews and descriptions acted...
It's pretty good, but I find it lacking in a way that I can't quite put my finger on, except to say that I don't find it very memorable - in spite of the fact that it has the elements to be that way....
Yes. Unfortunately most news outlets cover weather sensationally, so every “bomb cyclone”, “nor’easter”, “heat wave” or “polar vortex” becomes melodramatic and eventually linked to climate change,...
So what is the golden age of hyphen-rock?
Here is the Gnosis rankings using the same criteria as your list. I put the albums that are different from the ones on your list in italics.
1. Premiata Forneria Marconi -Per Un Amico (1972)
2....
For some reason, I was immediately drawn to suggest guys like Kurt Rosenwinkel, David Binney, Brian Blade, Vijay Iyer, Taylor Haskins, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Joel Harrison, Donny McCaslin, Alex...
Can you clarify? Are you looking for recommendations on current jazz? And if so, can you define current (because some people think 1990s are current ;))? And are you looking for something that has...
I guess we will find out today at 3pm! The Ohtanis vs. The Friars.
No worries. I was speaking generally based on my observations and not singling out you for starting the thread or your opinion.
TPT threads used to sink like a rock until Gavin joined the group. Now they get more attention, but it’s often from those that were not originally fans of the band. So the replies are generally about...
Streamers/apps/legacy media etc. is going to have to get their shit together sooner or later because it's very frustrating to be a fan of baseball who can't watch their favorite team's and/or local...
I think while the personal "golden age" is inherently subjective, I think "Rock" as we have come to define it has a pretty well defined "Golden Age" imo. I'd roughly put this between 1968-1978. This...
I wouldn’t use our personal experiences as “1 percenters” (in terms of music consumption) to define what is typical. I would tend to agree that, for your average music fan, they could point to HS or...
Yay. I can't wait. Already completed a minor league draft in a dynasty league. And I am waiting early-mid March for another draft like that one, and 3 redraft leagues.
A few notes:
* While the...
My advice is to sample some of the music from Tightly Unwound, Someone Here is Missing, and All the Wars and grab whatever vibes with you.
I am definitely not someone who really despises the announcers, and I do like Romo (though he could take a breath every once and a while), but all I am going to say is when every play, injury,...
It was good for his brand.
It's a lot easier to forgive when you win, and even easier when you know you're getting more endorsements.
I thought about that as well, but assumed it would have to do with putting in built in commercial breaks. Or...
IMO, the height of TPT is the span of five albums from Little Man, Sown, Unwound, and Someone Here is Missing through All The Wars. Their sound was a mix of indie/alt-rock, hip to the heavier...
Swifties: 30
Kaepernicks: 24
Other useful Draft Kings endorsed bets (some real, some not):
Over/Under cutaways to Taylor Swift's booth: 17
Jason Kelce takes his shirt off: 2:1
Taylor Swift...
Was it the Balvenie 15 single barrel aged in sherry casks? If so…
Glenfarclas 15 or 17
Glendronach 15 or 18
Bunnahabhain 12 or 18
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 (port) or Lasanta 12
Edradour 10...
Aging is only one factor in producing quality whisky. Many assume that if a bottle has an age statement over 12 years, it automatically makes it better. Other than making it “less common”, it’s more...
Meh. Not for me. I have had 2/3s of a bottle sitting for a few years, and bought it based on the hype and reputation it gets at its price point. I was pretty underwhelmed.
I haven’t had many (as I...
I don't edit as much as I used to, but I find most of the updates and upgrades over the years to be a net positive. I'm not quite at the retirement stage (except in my mind), but I'm old enough to...
They are who we thought they were.
I can’t say I’m really excited about a SF/KC Super Bowl. I’ll root for SF, as I would say they are the underdog now. Plus I still like the Purdy story and am a fan of McCaffrey.
While Dallas...
Someone do a welfare check at Casa Shadow.
They got the album wrong in the article, but it was a CD copy of Wish You Were Here. Just a quirky story and news clip for y’all. :lol
...
Rooting for the NFC team. If the Lions win, it would be good for them as a franchise that received a lot of ridicule for decades. If the 49ers win, it’s a great story for Purdy and players like him...
Why do people watch wrassling. - Because they're idiots.
Why do priests continue preaching to the unknowing. - Because they believe in what they are saying/told to spread the word as part of their...
1. Ripped my entire collection (several thousand titles) between 2007-2009. (There goes my Hoffman cred)
2. Ripped future CD purchases as I got them. (Heresy)
3. Started buying downloads...
If it’s rigged and ultimately all a fraud, why do you continue to follow religiously year after year?
Well that sucked. Buffalo looked good too.
Hate to say it, but I’ll have to root for Baltimore next week. After a decade of Brady, really could use a break from the KC storyline. And for the SB,...
Ravens (Texas is the most exciting of the upset teams, but Lamar will be in control of this game in chilly, windy conditions)
49ers (SF looks ready for the SB)
Bucs (just a feeling)
Bills...
Yeah, good point. It was thought that streaming would solve the problem of “all inclusive”, but it is not returning out that way.
It’s pretty remarkable that Peacock got 22m viewers and the service didn’t go down. I think they are working to get some of the better Olympic action to be Peacock exclusive.
I will say that...
Ed, of course.
No, seriously I just never cared for them. I grew up in NW PA and they will always be the team that left Cleveland to me. I wish them well, and like Lamar, but meh. Go away now.
The order for which I will root:
- Buffalo
- Houston
- Detroit
- Green Bay
- Tampa
- 49ers
- Kansas City
- Baltimore
I’m in.
I stopped watching in the 2nd quarter. Hate to say it, but I think I’m done with football for a while. I paid more attention this season than the last few, and this reminds me what a mistake it is to...
That it’s 2005?
Well I’m 0-1 already, so what I do I know? lol
I think ultimately I’m going to go with all the favorites.
Houston is unpredictable, but my gut tells me to ride the Flacco train, at least this week.
Chiefs should pull it off between the...
Wow, what was I smoking? I thought the comment was about Bills/Steelers.
I think it comes down to a Josh Allen. He will have the ball in his hands and can run when needed. If he’s smart with decisions, I like the Bills’ chances.
I hate to be ageist, but both Belichick and Carroll are in their early 70s and neither look like they can come with the passion they used to. Imo, they should just hang it up, go to TV, be an advisor...
Yes, except the streaming services will be run by Draft Kings, Fanduel, and MGM.
Snell could thrive in the right situation. I am not convinced he would do well with the Yanks. Would they trade for Cease or Bieber? Imanaga is out there as well (for perhaps another week). Beyond...
