    Just one more week guys.  We can put all this nastiness behind us and find another thread to boost our post count.

     

    Seriously though, part of me doesn't even have the strength to care anymore.  This has been such a long, nasty process.  NPR was reporting that this election has become the #2 stressor in people's lives, right behind money.

    What could make this better? a tie. 

     

    If Hillary holds CO, PA & VA, while Trump takes IA, OH, FL and NH. We're at 269 each and then it goes to the new congress, which will likely be Republican, but if the Senate flips then you could have Trump & Kane (assuming everyone votes straight party). This also assumes all the electors vote in line with their state's results. Plus, there is also a good chance of "rigging-based" court challenges. So fear not, this may drag on until people really start to not care. However, once the election is settled I am sure Congress and the American electorate will return to its' cooperative agreeable self.

     

     

  2. Went up on bandcamp today. Both tracks are kind mellow. The cover of Hunted is interesting, but i could do without the knight-rider style laser synth sounds. I am usually eh about the MDB cover songs, but i think the Amanda Palmer version of 3-men hanging is excellent and the best of the lot. While all the MDB versions are pretty good,  Home, Another Year, and In the Branches are probably my favorite.

    What We Leave Behind might be one of my favorite Chuck Songs, but as a whole this album just doesn't do it for me.

    Just checked out this track, and it's fucking incredible.  Is the rest of the album really just not as good?

    Also, what gives with the lack of Media Mail option?  All I'm seeing is priority mail and it's like $11.

     

    I am on the east coast and they want 7.60 for priority, which is still a bit steep. I suppose it's easier and simpler for the shipper, one option that has wide weight bands and you can include merch.

    LOL man I really struck out on this batch.

    I got one cool/decent LP (California X - Nights in the Dark) but the other 9 are whiffs for me:

    • Asshole Parade - Student Ghetto Violence
    • Dean Dirg - Dean Dirg
    • St. Dad - St. Dad
    • Holopaw - dunno the name of the LP*
    • Fiya - Better Days
    • Small Brown Bike - The River Bed*
    • Basement Benders - Lydiad
    • The Charming Snakes - Self Titled
    • The Bomb - The Challengers

    Asterisks denote LPs that I thought weren't that bad but just aren't my favorite genre.

    Oh well. Thus is the risk of the grab bag game.

     

    The SBB and Bomb records aren't too bad. Not my favorites from their discography, but decent. The one FIYA record I own is ok, that might be that one. AP is not my thing. The rest I have not heard of. I suppose that's the risk of a grab bag. Heavy on the chaff, but there always the chance of a surprise find that you would have normally passed over. 

     

    I went for the mystery 7" test. A small price for a chance of something cool. We'll see if Fortuna has favored me.

  5. Missed the premier because i went to the Red Hare, Scream, Cedar Crest County Club Skate Ramp Documentary show. However, my wife told me about some script leak she found, which was pretty spot on apparently. Was bummed to hear what happened, but will catch up later.

     

    If the writers really wanted to break from the comic and move into new narrative space they should kill Carl. He's the worst. Bigly.

    My order arrived yesterday, as well. with a download card in the sleeve

    i was without. Bit of a bummer, but i have no problem giving them a few extra bucks for the bandcamp DL.

    As a unrelated aside, i was just in Kansas City for work. Wasn't able to get out and about too much,  but I really dug the WWI Memorial/Museum.

  8. I dug the first episode, curious where they are going to go with it. I really liked the movie as a kid. It seems to be more of a reimagined series, with no evidence  of  other worlds. However,  they did mention an "incident" 30 years prior. It's interesting that the gunslinger robot is now human.

  9. I see we are giving out real names... To some I am Rob and I am also old.I really dig a lot of older 80's Hardcore, Punk, Post Punk, Non-cheesy metal, but there has been an excellent crop of new bands killing it, especially in DC and the UK. Some of my random favorites: Mission of Burma, Gang of Four, Life's Blood, Lifetime, GVSB, Greyhouse, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Milemarker, Baroness, Roky Erickson, Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, Murder By Death, Motorhead, Ringworm, Metallica, Dag Nasty, Bad Brains, Modern Lovers, Thin Lizzy, Yuppicide, Cro-Mags, Iron Maiden, Celtic Frost, among other. Like most sane people i like Star Wars, and Game of Thrones Battlestar Galacitca, The Expanse Series, Evil Dead, Lost, Margret Atwood, Margritte, Hiroshige, iced tea, carbs, any day i can wear shorts... I like nature. I like being outside. I like going outside and finding snakes, salamanders, fish, beetles, moths and whatever else i come across. Out of the blue, i started reading some new comics, including Saga, Descender, Harrow County, Cry Havoc, Paper Girls, etc.This may not be the most helpful, but i am easy to please. easy-peasy if you will.

     

    Now it's pouring rain and my basement is probably flooding. i dont like flooded basements.
