And you're also forgetting the Allman Brothers Band and a host of other great accomplishments. Roll throught it as you please and we'll talk about it along the way... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…pfuj Yeah, that's the rub. To be clear, I don't ant any of this to be happening. However, this new thing where Iran charges to go through the strait is cute and laughable. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…pfuj Whether Iran admits it or not, American ECM will whipe them all out eventually. Additionally, CIWS probably erradicates any that come even close to the ship. The question is whether America will send China's oil to the bottom of the sea. Easily take the strait with ground forces... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…pfuj Who was the last nation to sink a US Aircraft Carrier not in dry-dock? npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…8sfm Hold on. I don't doubt that you would be an excellent DJ. I just think "Dance Night" might not appeal to your sound. Sure, I'll dance with my baby to all kinds of things, but a lot of people aren't like that. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar Is this quite possibly the best hard rock record ever recorded? I dedicate this to @nprofile…xlhv https://album.link/us/i/185865113 npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I suppose so, but the music man... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Aren't we both Arctic wolves, brother? npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Wow! These are all stunning! So hard to choose a favorite, but I might have to go with the wolves... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I hear you. On a date once, I took a girl to some gardens in Gainesville. A big-ass spider ended up on my back, and my date was too creeped out to knock it off. Wasn't lovin' that. She eventually did, though, when I found a stick for her... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv It's called immersion therapy... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Bugs creep me out. In films. In real life I'm fine with them... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I'm not sure I like the sound of "an uncontrollable itch on her head"... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv @nprofile…q0h6 I shudder to think what a mint condition set like that would cost now. I know collectors take their Hot Wheels pretty seriously... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Cool. Yeah, the Comanche were no joke. You sure as hell didn't want to be captured by them. I wasn't aware of female warriors, though... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Yeah, pretty much the same thoughts. I don't really consider Tool to be metal either and certainly not on the level of Black Sabbath. Still love 'em, but metal is a particular thing (with many, many subheadings). And the Melvins have certainly done some metal-like albums, but they're more avant-garde to me... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv How was it, buddy? Bean meaning to check this out for ages... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar https://consequence.net/list/best-metal-albums-of-all-time npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Wow! Nice! The 'Breaking Bad' creator got his start writing episodes for 'The X-Files'. I don't like them that much, and I'm not a fan of 'Breaking Bad' except for Gus Fring. Love Giancarlo Esposito.... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Yeah, it would be cool to do a watch with you and Hannah... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I hear you. I finally have the Blu-ray set that I need to watch. I've seen the show all the way through at least three times. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I'm skeptical that a reboot will be very successful. The chemistry of the show had as much to do with its success as anything else... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv You're a very talented dude. Brother. I wouldn't take advice from or listen to a moron. The Jake is the Jake! npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Hell, fuckin', yeah! You nailed it, dude... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar Man, I am so fucking drunk and I love all my friends. Like @nprofile…xlhv , @nprofile…5at5 , @nprofile…cdew , @nprofile…k3y3 , @nprofile…prpj npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…5at5 Yes, I forgot to tell you my favorite one from 1990, which is 'Goodbye Jumbo' by World Party. 'She Hangs Brightly' a close second by Mazzy Star. I'll be more prompt with this one... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar I have a Grado RS1e headphone set for sale. They are in very good condition, but you'll probably want to buy your own ear cushions. I'll consider that in the asking price. I have the original box. I would prefer to ship in the United States. PM me for more information. Boosts would be highly appreciated. #Grado #ForSale #Headphones #RS1e #Wood npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar I have a Mac Mini M2 for sale. It has 8GB of RAM and a 256 GB hard drive. The unit is in mint condition, and I still have the original box. I'd prefer to ship in the United States. Please contact me by PM for more information.

Don't they know that a man has to eat? A thimble size portion is fine for my Mom, but c'mon... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv The character himself warrants the remaster. I'll never understand why I wasn't gaming when all this stuff was around... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar First off, Glastonbury is a joke now and has been for a long time. It may still be important for up-and-comers, but that's it. Secondly, anyone, and I mean anyone, that has to use auto-tune for a live performance is a bloody hack and should never be allowed to perform for paying guests. And lastly, who are these mysterious "boomers"? When anyone ever complains about authenticity, they're either tagged as a Boomer or Gen-X. Felt like ranting. Rant over... ;>) https://www.stereogum.com/2313589/charli-xcx-responds-to-boomers-criticizing-her-use-of-autotune-at-glastonbury/news/ npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Sorry if you already posted it, and I just missed it, but what's the name of the LP? Qobuz has them... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Dungeon crawler! ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv @nprofile…jt77 @nprofile…0rg3 Hey, I can read Pig Latin. But yeah, they are really cool.

Women go crazy after menopause thinking that they're not still attractive or sexy. Which is complete bullshit to us. But women only double down on this. It takes a lot to convince them otherwise... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv No. I haven't. This is hilarious, but it speaks to what I was saying about 'Say Anything' the other day. It all looks and sounds bad without the context... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Indeed. But sometimes it needs to be said. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Damn, I hate to tell you that it ain't that good... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Looks pretty fun if you're into all those old-school games like you are. Pretty versatile, too. Even better. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Fascinating stuff! I know next to nothing about these devices, but I dig a solid mod and a bird to Nintendo... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Where is it on the Annihilation Cult scale? ;>) It's not Qobuz, so I'll have to switch over when I've finished this queue of other contenders. By they way, I told Kelly what your choices were just to fuck with her... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Have you watched 'Suspiria' yet? npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Hell, we can barely get you to listen to a song that's over 3 minutes... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Yeah, been meaning to check those out as well. Not a super hero guy either, though. Some films I can do 3 hours for, but few and far between. I definitely thought 'Oppenheimer' was too long. And 'Killers of the Flower Moon' probably is, too... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Isn't the Justice League film like 4 hours? npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Nope. Not yet. I have to find 3 hours... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Anyway, long story short, 'Midsommar' is way too long... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Well, art is usually meant to be accessible on many levels. Because that's how human beings operate as well. I think Lynch could go a bit too far at times, but usually there is a discernible plot. I mean, John Waters is like that... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I can see why you're not a huge Lynch fan. Everything he does is subtext. Dream-like sequences. Absurd dialog and scenarios. Horror as well, though. I did a lot of analyzing in school too, but it was always pretty easy for me. However, at the same time, sometimes I just want to relax and watch a psycho wearing tanned human skin or an evil clown kill dumb teenagers and college kids... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Subtext doesn't bother me, but I generally need to be in the mood for that sort of thing. I usually know what I'm getting myself into before I watch something... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I'm very curious as to how I'm going to feel about this. Do I have 3 hours to spare... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv When I saw the runtime, I wondered if it would be a long slog, but the film is usually highly recommended... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv @nprofile…5at5 Yeah, that's one, too. Damn you, Chris! ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv @nprofile…5at5 I'll pick King Crimson. They have a bit of everything. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv @nprofile…5at5 This is a hard call. On the one hand, it seems like it should be the Dead, but on the other, I'd really miss Husker Du, Zappa, or King Crimson. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv You'll be in hog heaven... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Nice!

My Mom goes through that shit like crazy. I'm not all that good either.

It was a very big deal for her. I picked her up after work, but on the way there I discovered that the speed governor was acting up on my Dad's van, so I couldn't go above 45 MPH. I got to St. Pete and called my Dad, and he said to come home. To which I replied, hell no. We saw the concert, but my Dad freaked and came all the way to St. Pete to pick up the van, forcing us to call Melissa's parents for a ride home... ;>) 2/2 🧵 npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I'll dig into it a bit more on my second listen and try to solve this mystery for you... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Fuck apps.

Although, about time for me to revisit some stuff from earlier in the year, too. The Deathgoat is amazing as well. And Pelican. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Cool. By the way, you were right. I really dug the Riffchild. Listened to that early this morning... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Yeah, I wondered what you thought about the earlier stuff. I went with your suggestion and queued up the EP. Still on Motorhead, though... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Queued up!

And they may still need to be modded in some way... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Well, we know what the Surfers have to say about regrets... ;>) npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I know a guy on Facebook who does a lot of the NASA ones.

I think people need to get real and use some common fucking sense.

But ultimately, I think Allyson was always the person she came out as. Something about that experience freed her, but not necessarily for the better. As far as chatbots go, WHY? They can't think or feel... npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Nice lists, buddy!

Even for the young and fit. So sure, let's show our ingratitude to the hardworking immigrants willing to do what we would rather not by snatching them off the streets and separating them from their families. Disgraceful as well as stupid. npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv Nice! npub1xfsc4h2vkfthwsf936avg86sd4uc069mg24yz709mrcd6xckzvsqehy0v4 Brian Nicar @nprofile…xlhv I'll take a juicy bottom note any day, buddy!
