GOG for the win (sometimes)!

Their ideology is a cancer

While indie studios have popped up and filled some of that void.

Look how hard they’re fighting women. Campaigns of intimidation. Republicans despise women unless they do as they’re told.

The first song that came up for me on YT by him was Physical Education. There’s a lot of rock in there. He reminds me somewhat of a Dave Weckl or Carter Beauford even. Some of the instrument’s evolution I’m not interested in.

Google classifies Animals as Leaders as a progressive metal band…

I suppose I don’t know a ton. My earliest entry was that of Buddy Rich, the drummer. As a drummer, I wanted to relate. Play fast and all. Haha. Though my playing has all but ceased (the stomach drum and desk drum will always live on!), my love for his often high tempo pieces lives on. He played songs I believe others played as well. His versions were just more upbeat!

I’ll give you an example of a group I didn’t like all that much and that was the Glen Miller Orchestra. Even as a jazz fan I can hear the style of jazz people refer to when they talk about “music to put you to sleep.”

But BR was just the beginning. It sounds like you know more than most believe it or not. Miles is great and I think I have more to discover there even.

The latest artist I found, new to me, also from the 50s/60s I believe, is Bill Evans, a pianist. It was a YouTube comment I came across that mentioned Evans to now be their “piano daddy” and from what I’m hearing, I’d have to agree. 😁 But, again, I only know so much. (Talk as if I know it all though…)

I hear you and agree with much of that. I am a fan of multiple genres as well. But, as far as it goes for jazz, jazz is dead. Anyone still attempting to play it is often a sad version of what was once great in the 50s/60s/70s. So while there’s plenty of music in other genres I like, always more to find from those time periods, as well as still enjoying the classics, it’s a little upsetting good jazz is dead, modern jazz is trash, and people who think they know jazz these days actually refer to some other genre, like rock. Somewhat sad.

Can’t wait to put a different Democrat in his seat. What a disappointment for PA. Total loser.

Which was gained through protest. Just felt I’d add that because I hear, even from some women, that they don’t know what good protest does. I don’t understand how people can be so ignorant. Standing on the shoulders of those that came before them yet completely pissing on their head!

Fuck that guy

I liked what you said about breaking things down by elements. That might be a better way of judging things.

But they aren’t pointless. Most times they aren’t as helpful as you’d like, but I think that’s baked in, with less than fully honest reviews counted among the ratings. But otherwise, they show ranges and a base with which to judge through your own preferences. One example was when I used to read Nintendo Power. I understood their scores were inflated, especially for Nintendo’s own games, if you weren’t already a super fan. You could accurately remove a solid point from their scores and figure that would be another way to view it. Or, as a fan, I didn’t mind the inflated score because it probably captured my excitement/future experience with the game having similar preferences.

The rest of the time I see a sea of mediocrity with many many games residing in the 7 to lower 8s range of scoring. With 8.5, 9, 9+ games also out there, a statement like this developer is making only makes sense if your game is heavily discounted. So, in the end, I think an accurate score does mean something. The next Far Cry to immediately drop to 20 bucks, or Assassin’s Creed, and there are many others like this, just goes to show the lack of care and what should be lacking scores. Some of those games probably received more than they deserved.

Start literally stealing elections and I think we’ll see what a real uprising looks like.

Goose then?

The Notorious KA.MA.LA.

How much blood is in Fortnite?

Yet saw the party of birtherism and thought that was a good place for him. That was the before Trump times, yet still very much Trump. 2011 he joined congress, not long before Trump. All the groundwork laid out for the fascist. His voice, too little too late.

Edit: He looks to have had a 90% in-line voting record during the Trump presidency, according to 538. Doesn’t look like he stood up to the guy to me. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/adam-kinzinger/

But the method not

These guys might think they are making statements that set them apart. They joined this shit show not long ago. It’s on all their heads, too. I appreciate the now, fuck you and all yours for the before.

At least they finally found the unity
