A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
- Need a new non stick frying pan
Reporting for duty. All my stainless is All-Clad and I love ‘em but got an AC non-stick on sale and it is not nearly as good as others I’ve had. I loved the Tramontina ones but I switched to induction and so no dice. ETA, I also have the lodge 12” carbon steel and I love it. It’s plenty non-stick now that it’s seasoned for a couple of months and holds heat really nicely.- 2024 Oscar Nominees
Agree with all about Barbie. The nod for screenplay was deserved but director?! No way. And that movie was a lot of fun almost entirely because of Gosling. And Bening for Nyad? Uh, no. That film and her performance were lame. The movie equivalent of “this could have been an email.”- Hey Steel Shank!
That looks amazing. And would be even better if you cooked the tots!- Your unpopular music opinions
Thirded. And I just heard this on the radio yesterday and thought, how was this song ever popular? The chord progression when he’s seeing the chorus outro (on the line…. Line…. Line…) drive me crazy even though it’s a pretty standard progression. Something in the way it crescendos, I think.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
And, if so, how did she get it off over that ridiculous hairdo?- Hey Buuuudy, the Weasel's back
Team Pauly here. He committed to the bit and it became oddly entertaining after the initial wtf wore off. I remember watching Som in Law thinking no way does this schtick hold up for a full movie and it turned out to be, by God, endearing.- Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty
- do you ever yearn?
My six year old started karate last year and pretty much EVERY time he says it, I interrupt with “actually, it’s kara-TAY, son. Kara-TAY. The lifetime pursuit of balance and harmony” My family and especially my six year old really don’t appreciate what they have in me….- do you ever yearn?
Kramer’s………. having a party?- "Beautiful" lyrical moments in songs
I’ll start with “Angel from Montgomery” because all of it is as good as John Prine gets but the line “Make me a poster of an old rodeo” is one of my favorite lyrics in all of music. Also, “Red Dirt Girl” is a beautiful narrative song but I’ve always loved: “She loved her brother, I remember back when He was fixin' up a '49 Indian He told her, little sister, going to ride the wind Up around the moon and back again He never got farther than Vietnam I was standing there with her When the telegram come for Lillian Now he's lying somewhere About a million miles from Meridian” AND: “Yes, she tried hard to love him But it never did take Just another way for the heart to break So she learned to bend One thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got 'em you keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom And there ain't no end, least not for Lillian” Also love so much of James McMurtry’s writing but for some reason I’ve always loved this quick line - so perfectly simple and tells a whole evocative story in a handful of words: “And at the base of the barstool there's a drain in the floor You better not go in there, if you don't know what that's for” Don’t even know where to start (or, more specifically, where to stop) with writers like Prine, Lovett, Patty Griffin, Farrar, Hiatt, etc. And those are just some of the more mainstream singer songwriters that inspire me. There are really good writers everywhere I look. My only maybe slightly less popular opinion: I love Jeff Tweedy but I think some of his writing is too contrived and gimmicky. Even after reading his book. Anyway, great thread.- Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun

What my book presupposes is… maybe they won’t?- The Guitar Pron Thread
Same. Except you know how when people record their voice and play it back they’re like, “ew, THAT’S what my voice sounds like?!” Mine is, “ew, THAT’S what my guitar playing sounds like?!”- do you ever yearn?
Three years is a long time to be married.- RIP Tom Wilkinson
The Full Monty has several holy-shit good acting moments (from Tom and others). But the spin in this scene is just perfect.- do you ever yearn?
Christie, get me a schtickle of flouride.- do you ever yearn?
Quick question. Is it normal for your teeth to make noises? Like a hissing or a chirping?- "Beautiful" guitar moments in songs
I’ll add just a couple of tiny moment ones (vs. whole parts or songs) - just times where I listen and think, “damn, that’s good.” On Tristessa, the way the guitar dives and crescendos and then it all comes back together is badass to me - 2:33-2:45 This one’s even shorter and more subtle, but just the perfect alignment of keys and guitar on the little riff 1:33-1:38.- do you ever yearn?
Well, well. If it isn’t the First Lady of the American theater.- do you ever yearn?
I think the umbrella guy was Teddy Pavilac? Also happy Festivus! I played in a Festivus Eve paddle tournament last night so I’ve already completed this year’s feats of strength. And I’ve got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about them!- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Aha! I think I’ve spotted the error in your calculations.- do you ever yearn?
Yes. Separate knob. Why separate knob? WHY separate knob?!?- "Immediate Family"
Can’t wait to see this. Thanks for the heads up. I love Sklar and Russ Kunkel is one of my heroes. Not quite as distinctive as some of the other session guys (Gadd, Vinnie, Weckl) but much more ubiquitous. And I saw him play at my very first concert - Neil Diamond - when I was five years old. Incidentally, saw him play just last year with Sklar with Lyle Lovett. So. Many. Records.- Podcasts
On the comedy front, I’m unabashedly obsessed with Paul F. Tompkins. Comedy Bang Bang is a long running podcast on which he’s a frequent and really fundamental guest over the years. Somewhat spun off from that are Threedom, The Neighborhood Listen, Spontaneanation, and a few others with people like Tim Baltz, Andy Daly, and other comedians. It’s kinda a Comedy Bang Bang “podcast universe” with lots of rabbit holes. - Need a new non stick frying pan
