I shared these guys in the “what are you listening to” thread and now it’s time for the geeky stuff.
Lots of loopers and they are using microtones. I didn’t know what that was so I’ll include a video of an explanation which makes it very clear. It’s essentially a 24 note scale and it’s not some Willy Nilly “find an odd note” technique. It’s very Asian based with a whole lot of jazz. These guys are innovators and need to be appreciated for the sheer genius of what they do. Drummer brings it. Hard.
We really enjoyed “Project Hail Mary”. When I saw the previews I thought “oh, a 2026 ET”. Glad I tried it anyway. It was funny, entertaining and occasionally tension-filled.
Also the plot twist toward the end was really well done.
I’d never heard that song before, thank you!
When it started I found it pretty generic and formulaic (which is how I view 99% of the genre). Then the line about his mama and the train hit and I audibly laughed!
I also realized that this was original from back in the day which helped create the genre and had been copied 1000s of times since - so hat tip to the originator.
I view it the same way that I view people who fawn over “Pet Sounds”: I guess you had to be there to appreciate the groundbreaking nature.
6) I enjoy it so much that, while I could justify and afford a riding mower, I choose to use both a push and rotary mower for exercise; the former of which I will attach a roller to create lawn stripes.
This is me.
Last weekend I did around 20 hours of yard work over the course of 3 days. This past weekend I did at least 11. I’m stiff. I’m sore. The satisfaction though is worth it.
This is why you never reply in the affirmative if “someone” on the phone asks you if you can hear them. It’s usually a bot. I always repeat “what?!” because a human would answer differently.
You’ll do well to buy some KSwiss pickleball shoes. Plus I can definitely recommend compression socks and leg sleeves.
On my left leg I also wear a calf compression sleeve. You’ll do a lot of short bursts and your ankles and calves will know it.
