When someone asked me afterwards who Max Headroom was, I said well, it was a show and he was in a Peter Gabriel video and they said, who is Peter Gabriel, I realized I was really old.

As soon as we heard Bart, I said that makes more sense, but my answer, being so out of left field and actually being an option, is why we chose it. I still don't know why that immediately popped in my head, because no one else knew who I was talking about.

And I've had several drinks, which is the only reason I questioned if I was crazy. On the plus side, after many drinks I caught the misspelling and I suck at spelling. But I guess I'm ok knowing which versions of the words to use.

To be fair, he pegged Vance correctly.

Automatic is probably my favorite, due to memories of listening to it when I came out. I love Darklands and Psychocandy, but Automatic is memories of driving to beach for senior week in convertible with roof down and that album blasting.

The shipping for the ORM album cost me almost as much as the album. It's mind blowing. I feel your pain.

When I said that their previous album hit for me harder, it may be because that was the first time I heard anything that sounds like them. I was ready for it on this one, so it didn't hit me as hard. Because it's very, very good.

See, I wasn't so much of a fan, lol. But it was a game that sort of fell within the parameters I was talking about. I think. I know it was a 2 point game and I know I stopped watching when they were crushing the Bulls. I suspect there wasn't such a huge shift though.

Vinyl is supposed to be exempt. BUT, I bought Panopticon from Sweden, the same day, from same distro as @purgatorymetal.bsky.social. We both received it on the same day. Both got a FedEx bill. His was like $7 and mine was $0. So even they are confused. My ORM vinyl had no tariff, but $30 shipping.

Does stuff from ebay, like 2nd hand clothes, get tariffs? LIke, if I buy a used t-shirt from someone in Germany, do I have to pay tariffs? Because that is so fucked, but I guess it sort of makes sense in that none of it makes sense.

Nice! We also park in the parking garage, with coolers of beer. We go up there and drink beer and rest between shows. You can see the outside stage from the top of the garage, so that's where we park. Sometimes people like Frank Hath or Ross Sewage swing by. It's fun.
