  • I LOVE Morel Orel. It's shockingly heavy shit. Alone in particular fucking killed me.

  • What are some music venues you like in your part of the world?

  • Congratulations, you have now introduced me to Thee Ultra Bimboos and I will be forever grateful. Deep pool of stuff with this venue, excellent comment!

    Edit: Holy shit, this place has been around forever! Found some stuff from a DVD rip for a show in 1974. God damn, thanks dude!

  • Not everyone likes your country-fried music, Bluegrass_Addict!

    (This is a joke, good to hear from you dude. You are right, this is a glaring omission and has been rectified).

    Unfortunately, I've only heard legends about Zaphods, missed the boat on that one personally. Lots of band footage on the web though!

  • Will probably update as I think of more/add common genre family tags. If other Ottawans (the like between three or five of you I know are here) see this and want to add something, particularly for the defunct list, let me know.

  • I feel like this is something I'd hear discussed on the Park After Dark podcast (Trailer Park Boys thing, now with 100% less Bubbles for obvious reasons)

  • Just when I thought I was done with it forever, back to topics in Digital Humanities I go. Surely differences in generational attitudes towards AI art is something someone in a DH department has been diving deep on these days...

    Jump

  • 'Ordinary' is doing a lot of work here. I can think of a lot of ordinary people I've met who hate AI art. Seems more accurate to say that not everyone is put off by it.

    Does seem to be a generational element though, with older generations not caring as much. Case in point is one of the pinball places here. The owner's been an AI art enthusiast for a while, younger folks hate it to the point that they'll actively avoid the place, the older 'I was a pinball wizard in the 80s' crowd don't seem as bothered.

  • This may set the groundwork for an uncomfortable discussion of your parents' personal life these days.

  • Dick Dale is a legend a lot of great musicians owe something to. Most (though not all) modern surf, some of which is fucking great, follows in his footsteps while also borrowing from psych rock and other genres.

    Always give Dick his due, he is the king after all.

    Edit: at the same time, it'd be a mistake to ignore the influence of The Ventures as well.

    Edit edit: Since this has lead me to fire up my 'face melting surf' playlist again, I'll take the opportunity to give a shout out for my aquaintence-of-an-acquaintence's weekly radio show Storm Surge of Reverb.

  • Well that's the point, you're not supposed to, no matter how well it's crafted or warm it is.

    Gotta keep your comfy q***ts on the d/l.

  • There's a word - starts with Q, ends with T. It is never to be uttered with regard to work conditions, ever.

  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

    Jump

  • Yes. One person in particular comes to mind - very nice guy, but has some obvious learning disabilities. He mispronounces words very often and mistates stuff frequently (a lot of 'hims is', that kind of thing). He doesn't seem to have much of an inner life, though perhaps its more that he doesn't have the facility with language to express himself well. He also doesn't seem to understand a lot of things that people around him talk about.

    But he's a kind dude - frankly, that's the important bit imo.

    Most of the other folks I've met and considered dumb were seen only for limited duration and in specific contexts. They might indeed be, on the whole, dumb. But I've always felt those small interactions aren't enough evidence of that - after all, I've met objectively brilliant people that, in certain contexts, have done phenomenally dumb things. Heck, we all do (or rather, I sure as fuck have).
