    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    — The Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

     

    — Chic.

     

    — Deep Purple.

     

    — Heart.

     

    — Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

     

    — Albert King.

     

    — Kraftwerk.

     

    — The Marvelettes.

     

    — The Meters.

     

    — Randy Newman.

    — Rush.

     

    If not even one of the bold make it in before or at the same time as Rush does, I will be largely disappointed with Rush's fan base as I already see just by looking online. There are opinions. And then sometimes, you're just wrong, inconsiderate, and naive.

    Games

    If you love board games, that is a great reference spot.

     

    Competitive:

    Battlestar Galactica has almost torn my friends apart even though it's so much fun. I prefer to call it Battlscars Galactica. The skill ceiling in this game is mainly in the politics. The skill required is entirely dependent on your opponent.

    Ticket To Ride has provided tons of fun and has an easy entry level from my perspective. Who doesn't like trains? I would highly recommend everyone to play this game because of its easy entry and high skill ceiling.

    Power Grid is still one of my favorite games of all time. But I like to do math.

    I know I saw some Puerto Rico mention above, and I do take it out once in a while.

    It's been a while since I played Ra, but I know I enjoyed it a lot.

    Dominion has made me and my friends lose lots of sleep. It's a non-collectible card game where you must build a deck of cards to help you acquire the most victory points possible.

    Ascension is a non-collectible card game where you race against your friends to defeat the monsters spawned, by building a deck similar to Dominion.

    I started playing Kingdom Builder with my friends a couple weeks back. It's not bad. It reminds me a little bit of Settlers Of Catan.

     

    Non-Competitive:

    Pandemic,... and I urge you not to take this out of context. But the map,... ugh... screw the Middle East. You must race against time to contain and stop the pandemic from spreading with your teammates. The infections in the Middle East have cost us the game on consecutive occasions.

    Sentinels Of The Multiverse is a pretty fun game for especially for the kids. This game has the best flavor I've seen.

     

    Well, then, have fun.

    Song requests for concerts

    Even though I want to stay modest, I highly doubt anyone else that went to the South Bend show in 2010 desired Say You Miss Me as much as I did. It's good to know my requested at least echoed on the internet poll results when I checked.

    I also enjoy the minimalist approach to recording it. It seems to be heavy on reverb when it starts, maybe just for a few seconds, with some faint noise in the background, then it drops out to just Jeff and guitar. A few subtle electronic flourishes, the main theme is repeated and a nice fade-out. Musically, it's pleasing to the ears.

    Perhaps my favorite phase of Wilco, The post-SummerTeeth/YHF/LooseFur-LP1 phase.

     

    I really like this song. Still one of my favorite Wilco songs.

    Nothin' But Time sure does stretch the length of time for a good reason.

    The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter

    I don't understand why 90% of this board loves this band. The lyrics just screech corny, cheesy, and cringeworthy. I think they actually made this for Grey's Anatomy. And maybe it's just me, but they sound more like Mumford And Sons more than ever: that's a bad thing. On the plus side, they know their market.

    I think all three of those men are particularly funny.

    Yes, they are very funny. I'm saying examine as in "please study the following comedians before you try to assert your voice in disastrously horrible comedy where you have no control of English, or language, or vowels."
