Yes! I like playing with a Strat tremolo bridge, but the Tele's sustain and resonance are so much better.

I always thought I was a Strat guy, but the Nashville Tele is my favorite to play. So comfortable, sounds amazing.

Purple Rain feels too obvious, but yeah it's Purple Rain. That whole 4-song sequence (along with I Would Die 4 U and Baby I'm A Star) is peak.

Also I just watched Hanger's promo en español, good stuff. I need to catch up on this show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H84M...

I guess the sites that *ask* are the good ones now, the bad ones just opt you in automatically.

In my experience, Coheed audiences have always been the most polite rock audiences you could imagine. Everyone is there for the music and the lyrics, and they're singing along, it's a good vibe. But sometimes you just want to get the crowd MOVING a bit more and "Play the Poet" is gonna do that.

And I cannot wait to see them live and be in the pit when "Play the Poet" hits the heaviest breakdown Coheed have ever done.

A few months later, I really think this might be Coheed's best album. The first three albums are special to me but the songs on this are just incredible.

I vaguely remember the mystery, which I think also tied into the short film they did for the DVD version of Sing the Sorrow. I'm not sure there were any answers to find, but I loved the idea.

Yeah, I always knew this as "336" too, but since I've been collecting them on Discogs, it's known there by the song names. I didn't have a turntable back when it came out and I always felt like I'd missed out by not having a copy.

Almost a year of doing this, and I've spun 234 albums. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

There are billionaires, BILLIONAIRES, out there right now, who are choosing every day not to do this. Also they're not making UBI happen or whatever but mostly they're not making del Toro's Lovecraft movie.

I don't remember that at all, lol. Glad to hear Annarchy's doing well though!

This thread got lost somewhere along the way but I think the point I was trying to make is that avocado is good, especially on toast.

I like Gilmore Girls a lot, but that one episode ("That Damn Donna Reed") where Rory did the 50s housewife bit felt so weird to me even back when I first saw it, despite that I wasn't yet a leftist or a feminist or anything. Did Gilmore Girls quietly radicalize me? No, actually. But also, maybe?

Veering off on a tangent here but guys who want a tradwife actually want a mother and you can interpret that however you like.

If only I hadn't eaten so many avocado toasts, I could've bought a home when I was 25 years old, and it would've had so many rooms for the half dozen kids that my tradwife would've stayed home to raise. Grow up.

If you weren't there at the time, that's a lot to unpack.

A cool thing about the 90s was that I wasn't so online.
I went to an Aladdin's Castle arcade in a mall in Missoula, MT (I think?) once; they had a Super Street Fighter II Turbo cabinet which I didn't even know existed.
This was circa the Sheng Long hoax, and Akuma being real blew my little mind.

I hadn't heard of him, but I'm definitely gonna check him out now!

Yeah, I was thinking the whole album. If I win BIG big then we're also doing Bat Out of Hell 2 and I'm moving into Jim Steinman's weirdo home.

Nah, I got in trouble with his mom last summer from letting him watch things that were probably not age-appropes.
