Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Maybe you'll have to go the deluxe route for Boston. You are a VIP after all. Well, I don't know about my status but I had already bought 4 VIP tix. I was waiting for the 4 "regular" ones (let's not get into the VIP being GA standind and the regular ones being specific seats, it makes my head hurt)...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Hmmm… I got confirms on all my ticket requests EXCEPT Boston which was my first priority. Fingers still crossed but I guess it wouldn’t be TM without some extra aggravation.

Re: What's Everyone Listening to?
Modern Power Pop Mix on Spotify. Excellent and chock full of songs and artists I'm not familiar with (as well as some excellent choices from among the usual suspects).

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Which part is the good news, which part is the bad? Congress is in recess yet again, for an additional 2 weeks. I don't know if it's always been like this but since I started paying attention it amazes me how little these people actually work. But now I wonder, is it good or bad news that they're no...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
So it turns out that earlier this month the US warned Russia of the likelihood of a terrorist attack on a concert hall or similar venue. Putin's response? As quoted by Jonathan V. Last in the Bulwark, "TASS reported that Putin said on March 19* the aim of "the recent provocative statements of a numb...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Also do NOT like the "ticket request" bingo. Have not gotten the VIP package, may change my mind. The only way the “request” system would make a difference would be if they are expecting significantly more demand for tickets than there is supply. Given that they’re playing pretty standard venues fo...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
I kinda suspect the "lottery" think may be miscommunication. The three i got all specify the exact seat (2) or GA Pit (1). When i was buying them I picked the specific seats and some were already sold, and more sold as I was selecting. I'm 99.9% sure if it went through you have tickets. With a low ...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Speaking of which, ticketmaster willing, my itinerary is set:
SF
NYC
Boston
Chicago
Really wish I could do all of the ones on my first cut list, but reality had to intrude at some point, and did.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
The thing about being in the middle of historic events is that it's really difficult if not downright impossible to see the forest for the trees. So, for example, i suspect that there aren't a lot of people who can confidently predict what's going to happen in Israel/Palestine. But we can see a litt...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Whether Congress ultimately approves a spending bill and whether that happens before or after the partial shutdown deadline, this is one fucking stupid way to run a government. It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham and as always we the people are the losers. But hopefully Mike Johnson will also be ...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
I'm very curious to see how this "order now, find out if you're in later" process works out. If it works, which I guess boils down to whether I get the tix I want, lol, then it's really a pretty civilized way to go about the process. If I don't, hell, give me the cutthroat world of jamming the inter...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
The regular tix seem fairly cheap (espy net of the fees, see below). The VIP tix are expensive in absolute terms but i have no idea how they compare to what other bands are doing. I'm getting some VIP tix in Boston because what the heck (and a couple of reserved seats too; believe it or not some of ...

Re: English Oceans 10-year vinyl repress
Is the reissue musically any different than the original? As far as i can tell the answer seems to be no but that's not a confident conclusion.

Caught up on a few episodes last night. Latest episodes are way, way better. Much more band of brothers-y. Glad I'm watched for my patriotic duty, as you really see the sacrifices we (used to?) make as a nation to preserve democracy and fight evil. Some tough men and women who shaped history. I'm s...

Because the simple fact is that TX just isn't that good at doing all the shit it brags about and insists upon doing its own way. I'm telling you, you can't make this shit up. Gov.

The Supreme Court decision allowing TX to at least temporarily enforce its own state criminal law allowing its police to arrest undocumented immigrants is predictable and predictably ridiculous.

I know it's fashionable, nay, even de rigueur, to be cynical or even apathetic, but I can't let this one go. There is nothing good to say about a politician dehumanizing the other with terms like "monsters" and "animals" for perceived political advantage and it's even worse for him to actually gain ...
