    The moment I saw the "best 80's video" thread I thought "Peter Gabriel -- Sledgehammer".  And in my mind, it IS the best 80's video.  Actually, I'd say it's probably my favorite music video of all time.  I loved the track the moment I first heard it.

    So here he is doing it live, and honestly, it's a better performance.  The band is flat out stunning (that's King Crimson's Tony Levin on bass, just listen to that fucking groove and tone).  But it's not just the playing, it's Gabriel himself, owning the place.  Really, quite a masterful job by a bunch of pro's pros:

     

    Gabriel's Us tour back in 92/93 is still the best concert I have been to.  I still watch it on blu ray prob 3-4 times a year.   And Levin is indeed a genius on the bass.

    Had never seen the show. Started it Saturday. Finished it this morning at 3:30am and am now worthless today. Damn. Just damn. 

    Wow.  I thought I went through it fast in 2 weeks.

    How long did you age the bottle of Larceny? I'm thinking of pouring a 1.75L bottle in my barrel when it arrives. 

    2-3 weeks if I remember correctly.   Start tasting a sample after 2 weeks, the oak will start to really come out in it pretty quickly.

  4. Had dinner tonight at Shells. That place fucking sucked. Wife’s pasta was over cooked to mush and I’ve had a better steak at Chili’s. I had their version of surf and turf with a ribeye and blackened drum. The drum was so so but the steak was a briquet.
    And they didn’t seem to have worried about turning on their AC.

  5. Filled it with water for a few days to seal any leaks. Then risked it with hot water and then added bourbon.
    When I’m not aging anything I just keep them filled with a 70/30 mix of water and cheap cheap stuff(Canadian crap I’ve had and won’t ever drink)to keep them from drying out.

  6. Also recently saw a couple of guys recommend a 55/35/10 of OWA/W12/Stagg Jr

    Never tried it but damn I’m intrigued

    Damn, you need to try that one and give me some. :)
  7. I assume he charred the barrel first? 

    They come pre charred. Got 2 2 liter barrels, ran about $50 a piece.
    The PMP was great as well as a batch of manhattans I let sit in one for a couple of weeks.
    I’ve experimented with a few cheap bottles and haven’t had a bad one yet. Did a handle of Larceny awhile back and it’s a great bottle now.
  8. So our 18 month old LG Curved 65" went kaput earlier this week.  I called LG and spent about 30 min on the phone with them so they could diagnose the issue.  Turns out, the panel needed to be replaced at a $1500 cost since I was 6 months out of warranty.  Told them I wasn't going to do that and asked what else could be done, he came back with another option since they don't make the curved model anymore and parts aren't available.  They bought the tv back from me for what I paid for it last January.  I was extremely pleased with the level of customer service they gave me.  They could have said so sorry, but warranty is up, screw you.  But they did the right thing and stepped up since they had a known issue on that particular model.  We took the money they gave us and bought a 2018 model of their 65" OLED which was $300 less than what I paid for the 2016 model.  Nebraska Furniture Mart was running a special that also gave us a $300 gift card with purchase and they took an additional 10% off the sale price.  Hell of a deal.  Ended up picking up a 4k blu ray player and still have $300 left over from their buyback.  

    New model is phenomenal.  Didn't think the picture could be better than what was on our old one but I was wrong.  It's simply gorgeous.  Highly recommend the LG C8 OLED.

  9. Heading down tomorrow for a quick 3 day trip.  It will be the first time the boy will see the beach.  He's super excited.  We are staying at Island Retreat.  The mosquito talk on here worries me though.

    do you even humblebrag, BRO?

     I should have said I ordered them and paid the ridiculous shipping.  although the shipping from London wasn't bad.  But from the Netherlands, it was more than the bottle cost.

  11. Not sure on which exact countries get it, I bought the SFTB and the Gold from stores in the Netherlands and London. Thestud got the bottle of Special Reserve for me in Prague.
