Based in Grant Park. I love Atlanta, Hot dogs, cheeseburgers, auto racing, Philadelphia, and guitars amongst other things. Not the worst attorney in the world. I also make food and like modes of transportation. Typos mean it's really me. He/Him.

I have decided since I'm generally stay in/don't have any SB parties to go to that I'm going to be Philly as hell tomorrow.

We're making red gravy.

Probably better than Kearny, NJ tho, and I'm a Jersey apologist.

WFB actually stands for Working for Bozo which is many of us.

Dude was an all-time great personality for the sport. Buffet Benny was one of my favorite segments. Plus "man oh, MAN" "this is what I call a mess" and "HE CAN'T DO THAT." Easily one of the best who ever did it.

How would you rate it a scale of RDR2/Cyberpunk 2077 (assuming you've played them, of course)? Have only heard good things so far.

People always just dumped trash outside the dumpster, so you'd have to dodge yellowjackets and rats and broken glass. Now I go down one door in the hall, turn right, and chute room is right there.

Former complex i guess you'd call garden style if that's still a tetm where it was several low-rise buildings with surface parking and minimal greenspace where you'd have to walk outside probably about 2 tenths a mile or so?

Never realized how clutch a trash chute would be as an amenity until moving here and not having to walk across the complex to the dumpster anymore.

Look, it's a good song though (and I hope you know I'm only teasing)

A real 36 year-old would know the actual non-parenthetical title is "Absolutely"

Yup. It was easy to get drawn in by "fiscal responsibility" or "efficient government" type lines and not realizing how tied into systemic racial/class issues those lines were/are or how the true believer types used them as dog whistles. I'm just glad to he out from that side and try to do better now

I think there's something to add to point 1 in that it wasn't necessarily obvious to everyone involved until you were outside and looking back.

Wait I thought Bluesky was dead I'm terribly behind on things.

Chord progression not short progression.

Sōcrātes Johnson Ferry Cross the Mersey @socratesjohnson.bsky.social · 22h

It's also a really fun short progression and Fastball were really underrated as a band. Has been the same core 3 guys since 1992

I'm not going to use the term one hit wonder because there's always someone who has to well akshually every time.

I have way too many of these, but Feeling Strangely Fine by Semisonic and All the Pain Money Can Buy by Fastball are perennial choices of mine for listen to the whole album for some artists known more for one hit than anything else.

a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

Scully: They found the mummified bodies of Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear in an Irish bog?

Possibly a skatepark going in the new Memorial drive linear park nearby? I'll take it.
