Such a bummer that @bachna84 is missing this fine show

 

I know :/

 

I caught a drifloon in pokemon go today. That automatically makes today a good day.

 

Yet plenty of time to be on Chorus eh

 

If I could vote from my cell phone while I’m supposed to be working I’d do it

 

clearly chorus is more important to him than the future of the united states (and the rest of the world)

 

x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all over 2a

 

Not specifically, but farther north than San Fransisco. My husband has friends in Redding, so we were considering somewhere around there.

100% serious my husband's dream would be to move to Alaska. We compromised and decided to save for a cabin up north after buying a house.

 

Sounds scandalous

 

New Run For Cover signing. Album comes out on Friday but it's streaming early on bandcamp and on sale for $5. Easily one of my favorite labels around so I trust them.

Start All Over Again – the debut album by Seattle’s The Berries – is a study of the mythology of freedom. It is a modern country-rock record by Matt Berry, under his pseudonym The Berries. It is made up of songs of love and hate, songs under the spell of Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt, and songs carved out of the disappointment of a morose Seattle winter.

For those paying close attention to the West Coast’s underground rock scene, Berry perhaps needs little introduction. He has already created a name for himself as the prolific mind behind such treasures as the lushly blown out Happy Diving (Father/Daughter Records) and the tautly psychedelic, Wipers-esque Big Bite (Pop Wig). On Start All Over Again, however, Berry replaces the relentless pace and anxious stylings of his shapeshifting past with a new frame of mind, one derived from excessive reclusion and aimed at indulgent self-awareness, expansion, and a deep fascination with Americana. Besides a single guitar track contributed on the song “Turn It Away” by Charlie Hoffman (of Help Yourself Records label-mates Advertisement), Berry performed and recorded the entirety of Start All Over Again by himself, laboring away over a series of... sessions that consumed most of the second half of 2017.

On opener “Salvation,” Berry reminds us that love is the ruler and ultimate power of the universe. Against a backdrop of warm drums and sweeping country licks that twist beyond themselves, he challenges the modern urge to whitewash art with banal cynicism and self-righteous abstraction. “Security Blues” glows with a similar sense of conviction, turning its gaze toward the grim conditions of urban living. Berry laments the world around him turning into an ugly, gentrified, and tasteless playground for tech-elites. The track “Live To Please” burns like a strung-out fire raging in the most heavenly of houses. These are not protest songs, but rather explorations of alternative ways to view the possibility for freedom in a modern world.

 

At Disneyland and so far I saw a car with a “black guns matter” sticker and a dude with the monster energy drink logo tattooed on his neck

 

Did you say hi to @Mr. Serotonin

 

When you see @Dog with a Blog make him get the Dr. Pepper logo tattooed on his head.

I thought about you oddly enough once this Halloween event started and I caught my first one

 

I’m glad that this sounds like a Florida thing but is actually happening not in Florida

 

I sing it to the tune of pop goes the weasel like I learned in my pre-calculus class way back

They could have been from Florida

No way to know for sure

No lunch breaks? Think there's a legal issue there. @KidLightning can you confirm?

 

Good morning @Mary V !

 

I do, but just 5th grade math. So like, long division with particular quotients is the hardest thing they’ve done so far lol

 

But this way he gets to show off his cool bumper stickers across the country
