Tortoise, The Catastrophist

I inadvertantly created a slammin' stoner rock playlist on YouTube. Was looking into a band that popped up on BandsInTown as someone I had previously designated as interested in (but did not remember why), and clicked the autoplay button. Bunch of 16 minute jams, totally digging. Here's the latest (there's even some clean tones towards the middle somewhere): The original band was Freedom Hawk: Also lots of 1000mods, whoever they are.

Okay, so Carl's right, it is unusual, innit? I mean, how many people close-mic with a shotgun? Also, thanks for that! Music engineer nerd in me appreciates juicy details like that. Also, it's right there at the beginning, in animated form.

Blocking Some Turtle isn't working! WTF?!

Looks like a Shure SM7b -- not sure what's unusual about that...but then I realized it was a little longer, so not sure what it is...

Pfff...it's still a Gibson...I don't even know what hide glue is, but I'm guessing this is where the old horse->glue factory jokes come from... Unrelated -- have you been to Rocketeria? Stumbled upon them while looking up G&L Guitar dealers -- I want a strat with a stop tail, and was informed that I could order any guitar that comes with the dual-fulcrum vibrato tail to be replaced with the saddle lock non-vibrato tail, so was looking up local stores...They don't show their stock online, so was wondering if it was worth the trip to check out what they have. I have G&L dealers closer to me, so won't go there unless you tell me it's worth the trip. http://www.rocketeria.biz/

We're glad you're still around, too, and you have a wonderful attitude towards life.

Ah! Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Exactly! I has a sad. RIP

Unless she's going to play Poke Mongo -- she may want a giant nerdphone for that. Shelly -- I will remind you that a couple years ago, you tried my Note 2, and decided you didn't like it, so I would draw the line on something like the S6 or S7, which are slightly narrower (in terms of size).

Pioneer? (Do they have such a device?)

That's just what I was thinking... They look bigger than Shelly's head!

Oh my goodness, that sounds sublime. I might have to try making that.

Yeah, but 126 of those were Some Turtle repeating that one phrase. By the way -- blocking him worked! Of course, then some of the conversation stopped making sense, but it was worth it.

Let us know, please. They haven't come through town yet, but I was thinking about going when they do...

RIP victims of the latest incident in Munich.

Didn't know this neither, might have to switch, thanks.

But mooooom, I'm not doing anything, he started it! It's like an AI conversation software -- I call someone on something and they get all aggressive-defensive, my preprogrammed response is to let them know why I did what I did without apologizing -- with the intention of leaving it at that -- and they interpret it as an opening to argue with me about it, or maybe they just want to have the last word but they introduce a new topic (like I'm super-fucking-aggressive, or that everyone's afraid of us). I don't mind letting them have the last word, but feel obliged to address the new information, and from their perspective, it seems like I want to have the last word, so they start getting super-fucking aggressive and it just spirals out of control from there. Who the fuck is afraid of us? No-one on Head-Fi is afraid of us...no-one on any of the other forums is afraid of us...we're like magnets for people who are not afraid of us... Guss2 -- this isn't a clique -- just because I acknowledge Al's superiority on knowing who you are doesn't mean I'm just going to fall in line and like you. I just don't like people, so that's an uphill battle, and at this point, I don't think you care about one person's opinion anyway. I don't speak for the whole super fucking aggressive board, so don't make stoopy generalizations and perhaps talk about the last beer, wine, or cocktail you had, and you'll win friends and influence people.

(wants shirt)

I'm over that, I just made a generalization. Like this one: I hate arguing with people like you. You know, people that have a below average reading comprehension.
