Re: Welcome to Club XIII
I've been around for a while. I know how things work, or don't. I had zero expectations of getting my cd of the album on release day. I went into the process knowing I needed to be patient and to have no expectations, essentially viewing it as a "support the band" exercise, not a commercial transac...

Re: The TV thread
My people. Shouldn’t be surprised. Have you watched We Own This City yet? I've been saving it for when I'm on vacation for the week of the 4th. Looks terrific and I'm excited to dig into it. It is kind of like a "True Life" version of the Wire. Same writers/producers for the most part. Same Baltimo...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
Someone remind me: are Pin Hits/DIY “Billy Ringo” songs? Let’s get a full list of them. “Better Than The Truth” obviously. I don’t think so. Pin Hits the Shell and DIY are specifically about AHC bassist John Cahoon, while Billy Ringo is a composite character (who might include Cahoon but idk) At le...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
"The Driver" is the standout for me. It possesses the kind of ominous swagger & snarl that some of those great Murdering Oscar songs (the title track, "Belvedere,""Heavy and Hanging," "Walking Around Sense") have. After seeing references to Murdering Oscar in several posts on this thread, I too am ...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
In regards to the 1/6 hearings, I've watched ~half of them so far and they seem to occupy the weird space of being both necessary and basically irrelevant. So far the main thing they have accomplished is to rehabilitate people like Liz Cheney, Pence and even Bill fucking Barr, etc. Over the past de...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
The whole "framework" thing has become the new way to say "oh well, we tried." "We really want to do this popular thing that you elected us to but golly we just *can't*!" In reality, a Senate with Joe Manchin as the most powerful member doesn't function all that differently than one where Mitch McC...

Re: The TV thread
Today's NYT has a nice retrospective on The Wire twenty years on, focusing on one scene from each season. Stringer Bell, Omar and Bubbles are among the many indelible characters whose memory is brought back by the article. They just don't make TV like they used to :) I have probably watched The Wir...

That's right. I assumed that's what Bubba meant. Yes. It turned out to be about jimmy to Patterson's surprise. The context of the quote above is the phenomenon of subconscious songwriting.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
I watched up until the first recess, when my dogs demanded their evening walk. Thought the part segueing from showing Trump’s Pence tweet on the screen to the video of some terrorist dipshit reading it aloud using a megaphone was pretty powerful. But yeah, the GOP has long since poisoned the well wi...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
The exceptions category seems pretty big (Shit Shots, Jimmy, Slow Ride, etc) but even with the exceptions and the possible question marks, I think your observation holds up very well. Kudos. I think “Slow Ride” fits into the “family observations” category. Better than “Filthy and Fried” does, proba...

Others have reflected on the record brilliantly.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Chicago has weirdly been crowned the kings of gun violence, when on a per capita basis, they aren’t even top 15 I think it’s the calculus as opposed to the static number. Rate of change. Chicago has experienced a terrifying surge of gun violence in recent years, and no one really seems to have a co...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
Two things: 1) Let’s change “to” in the title of this thread to “2” since it was the 80s, after all. 2) I choose to believe that the angels in the trees on A&F probably sound a lot like Schaefer Llana’s vox on “The Driver,” and think the song actually has a lot of thematic resonance with parts of Ac...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
I don’t recall the band ever really taking steps to keep live recordings of new songs off the internet, but that appears to be happening with this record. The Team Dirty South Homecoming recordings specifically exclude the new songs, and the SLC recording has gone missing. Obviously it’s their prero...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII
is this a secret concept record? Reading my mind, dime. Feels like "The Distance" would have been a great fit if it hadn't been needed to fill out The New OK . Oh well. It is interesting to see DBT examining their own history and legacy on some of these songs, which is only natural 26 years in. Als...

Re: mlb 2020
I think it’s a logical change based on medicine/analytics but it’s also still jarring after growing up watching games where mediocre pitchers would be left out there with 130+ pitches simply because they had a no-hitter going. Even in a close game and if they had been walking hitters. That's more o...
