    RIP Raul Malo

    I used to see the Mavericks for free back in '89... 90 with the original lineup (had Robert Reynolds on Bass back then) & a friend of mine dated RR for around a year. That mostly fell apart because RR was in Miami & Lesley was in North Broward / Pompano Beach. These shows were free with bands being paid very little & the Mavs wanting to play originals vs. most (i.e. ALL) c&w places wanting covers only & *maybe* one original peppered in. These gigs were @ the Reunion Room in Fort Lauderdale, a new wave / alternative club & they were still very early (obv.) in their career. Incidentally, this was the same club where "Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids" played their first gigs (now with only 1 original "Spooky Kid" outside of Brian / MM). Anyhow, this is a heavy personally connected loss & the music community has lost a phenomenally talented voice. After re-forming in 2014, the wife & I saw them in Helotes @ Floores (guest list) on their "25th Anniversary" tour & Robert gave us shirts & posters + other swag; his brother was the merch guy & I can still hear him complaining. Pictured here with Raul from March 2009 on a solo promo run via in-store @ Waterloo Records during SXSW. Raul invited me on the bus after I got the touring stage hand to mention "Reunion Room". Spent around 30 minutes with Raul & then realized they had places to go & I was holding him up. I have lots of other photos from that in-store & can add here if anyone wants to see them.
  2. If you are unable to sleep tonight, write out a few one liners & try to read 'em tomorrow.
  3. From a Cherry Tree.
  4. Because "Calibri" doesn't sound "American enough", that's why.
  5. Minimum $ on a single in shitty seats is usually starting @ $ 300⁰⁰ weekday with prices higher for the weekend & last 2 days of the series.
  6. Yeah... "Star Trek Shitposting" on Facebook.
  7. Well... isn't that endemic of the Parliamentary system?
  8. Couldn't you simply get a cheap pawn shop guitar & sit under a tree, saying "Yeah, I'm a singer in a band. We haven't decided on a name yet. What's your name... I'll write a song about you in the morning... can I get $ 4 bucks for Wendy's? I just bought new strings & picks" (reaches into pocket & hands one to said chica).
  9. Paging @hornian to the Burnt Orange courtesy phone... a Mister "Horn - Ian" tothe Burnt Orange courtesy phone.
  10. Try to answer honestly - pushing the answers only skews yourself. 70 questions. I would have preferred 2 additional responses for a more nuanced survey: ● Somewhat Agree ● Somewhat Disagree https://8values.github.io/quiz.html Post screenshots of your results & a lso try ķafter testing today) to think of what your answers might have been like when you were 20 years old.
  11. Could be she's purposefully raising the next generation of Klanners. "Mommy, why do we have to play 'Ghosts' every weekend? It's not Halloween for another 8 months."
  12. Unless the Coast Guard motors up, how can "they" determine if there is an actual registry? You can't get that on the side of these Panga's being obliterated with a +$ 100,000⁰⁰ missile.
  13. If I am "Captaining" a boat that is 25 ft. long & ½ way between Lauderdale & the Bahamas (international waters start @ 12 nautical miles) PLUS my Boston Whaler doesn't have even a 12"×18" American flag (forgot / left it home... it was unsecured & bounced off, etc.) can the US Navy then rando decide to drop an unannounced missile on me "because drugs" even if I'm loaded with 12 coolers & you cannot determine if it is rum, Red Stripe, Florida Spinys, Dorado or Snapper in the Yeti's?
  14. One is where you would say "that's wron g / bad. People shouldn't do that." The other is where you would say "that's wrong / bad. I shouldn't do that." Apparently neither apply to you. Any better, @Homesickhorn?
  15. A copy of their original birth certificate with 3 or 4 pics of what their real Mommy looks like.
  16. Ahhhh, here we go... the "I'll bet she has LOTS of black friends" equivalency, but with "customers" as the replacement phrase.
  17. You left out "false equivalencies".
  18. ¹GiveSendGo... same idea, but with racism apparently allowed in Terms of Service. & Sidebar to Dennis Michael Lynch(you) visor choad, I don't recall ANYWHERE that the CinnaBitch said the recording customers complained about CinnaBitch not wearing hijab.
