Tight game but being played on the Pacers' terms. If the Celtics actually had a coach he'd be mad about that. Too bad

If you even casually enjoy the #NBA and aren't watching this Nuggets/Timberwolves Game 7 I'm begging you to turn it on right now. This is one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen.

With all due respect to OKC and my beloved Celtics, the two best teams in the are playing each other in the west right now.

The elite defense that Kyrie plays with when he gives a shit is a total indictment of the defense he plays with the other 97% of the time.

still wild to think that Col Bruce went out the way he did. only he could have pulled off the actual musician-dying-on-stage thing without anyone seeing it as anything but the culmination of everything the man was

@LostReflector Fishman told me an amazing story about that night. He was on that gig and the stage had enough people on it that he didn't even see it happen, just saw people reacting once the band figured it out. Col. Bruce was rushed to the hospital and in the meantime everyone was hanging out backstage. When word came that he had diedc Fishman and Bruce's brother both immediately responded with a "Holy shit that's awesome!" reaction because they instantly knew that he went out exactly...

@LostReflector ...how he would have wanted to - rocking TF out surrounded by friends. But the entire rest of the room was in stunned silence and looked at the two of them like they were aliens. Fishman said he quickly went up to Bruce's brother and said "That's exactly how he would have wanted to go!" and his brother said "Hell yeah it is" and Fishman laughed so hard at everyone else's reaction to the 2-person celebration that he almost fell over. A classic Fishman tale!

Went to bed with about 8 minutes left in the Lakers/Nuggets game and stayed dark until I could watch the ending. Holy shit.

My day beginning with an absolutely soul crushing Lakers defeat has me floating.

Thinking about bands that could fill the Sphere AND use it to its full potential, and I keep coming back to Tool being #1 on my wishlist.

@mrcompletely @chopaganda I would love to see the Chicago Symphony or Berlin Philharmonic mic'd up and playing a Mahler symphony in there. The possibilities would be insane.

If you're looking for blistering technique and power combined with sweeping phrasing and effortless melodic improvisation, it is hard to beat a 1997 Taste.

Literally any Taste from that year will deliver all of that.

Here's one that doesn't particularly stand out for 1997 and yet the crowd gives a well-deserved 45-second ovation after it. And it was only the 4th song of the night.

Find me another band that can do this and I'll follow them around the country.

here's one for the hipsters out there:

Some things are massively popular because they are in fact fucking awesome, and acting like you're too cool for that is just putting on :sadclown: makeup

@mrcompletely If disliking things primarily (exclusively?) because they are popular is one of your primary personality traits then there is a 100% chance we aren't friends

Lots of golf courses should be taken via eminent domain and turned into public outdoor spaces to be enjoyed by everyone rather than by at most a few hundred privileged people per day. Especially those near urban centers.

Sometimes it blows my mind that more of Twitter didn't end up here. The discussion of the music here on Mastodon is really fantastic. It is nuanced and people disagree in a civil way that moves the conversation forward. And there are no clout-seeking blowhards posting 200+ times a day.

But then I remember that the percentage of people posting in the way I just described, about the actual music, was always incredibly low, even in the heyday.

And then I'm not confused anymore. 🤷

@mrcompletely Spot on observation. Not just the filtering them out part but the everyone upping their game part. I hadn't framed it this way but you are so right. And it's not like everything here has weight and substance. That would suck. It's just that there aren't the people feeding the rage machine in the same ways. And then there isn't the algorithm feeding the people feeding the rage machine. It's like all the assholes left a party at once (even though I know we're the ones who left!)

Got Pearl Jam tickets today through the Ten Club for the Baltimore show in September!

Don't know the exact seats yet but there are two tiers of tickets (not including the pit because I'm too old for that shit) and they are in the better of the tiers.

I am very, very excited, even if it cost me $200 for the ticket.

@drewphish@shakedown.social avatar

@mrcompletely Ah didn't realize that's only for the fan club seats. That's a bummer. Such a great system. Even that would be a huge improvement for Phish. It is so frustrating that they do literally nothing. Grrrrrr

@mrcompletely There are other non-fan club presales. Must be from those. Fucking scalpers, man

Anyone got a rec for the smallest, cheapest reliable android phone? I've decided I don't give a shit about anything flagship related since I can't get the LG built in DAC phones anymore. I don't care about video. I suck at photography regardless of camera. I don't play phone games except for words with friends with my wife. If it runs Signal and Tusky and maps it's fine. Just want something that will last and do those simple things reliably. I'll buy a separate flac player for audio.

drewphish,
@drewphish@shakedown.social avatar

@mrcompletely If you're the hang onto phones for a long time type then I'm guessing a Pixel 7a is the way to go because it is guaranteed security updates through I believe May of 2028. It's on sale for $370 unlocked through Google. I'm guessing that anything significantly cheaper than that is not going to be getting security updates for four years. And you can find used ones for under $300.

@mrcompletely I answered just a little but we are slated to watch the futures tournament (on delay in the morning), the 3-point and dunk contests, and the game this year because the 9-year-old is NBA obsessed. He's really looking forward to all of it

I am listening to the 2/28/03 David Bowie for the 4th time in the last day because I'm a romantic.

This jam modulates up to the tritone (B-flat) TWICE which is completely fucking diabolical.

First time is around 11:30 and is just for a 20-second demented flare-up in 6/8. The second time is at 13:08 and it goes fully unhinged.

drewphish,
@drewphish@shakedown.social avatar

While it's certainly happened before, a tritone modulation in a jim is rare enough that I can't name a single one off the top of my head. And it happens 2x in the same jam!

This Bowie features a 3-minute intro that is creative as hell, fierce Type I jamming, some jamming that straddles Type I + II, Greek God-level Fishman throughout, unexpected modulations + a fire ending.

And you can argue that it is the 3rd best jam OF THE SET.

Praise Jerry I was in the building for this one. 🙏
