      Yesterday the family was driving home from dinner and ...Ready for it? came up in the playlist:

      In the middle of the night, in my dreams, you should see the things we do

      So in the vein of A Speculative List of Jay-Z's 99 Problems, and other than the boring, obvious answer, what do you suppose they get up to in her dreams?

    18. “60s lounge” and Laufey

      I was really taken by the sound of Laufey’s Madwoman and am looking for the older music which inspired her.

      The internet, however, has not been helpful. Between citing “The Great American Soundbook”¹ as her inspiration, or declaring its “clearly” bossa nova², i’m really lost. One person said “60s lounge,” which seemed promising³ but searching that brings a ton of AI-generated slop-and-slop-byproducts.

      Is there a better term for what she’s referencing? Specific artists? Specific regions even?

      1. which doesn’t sound the same to me at all
      2. which no the fuck it is not, i, a brazilian, say
      3. another person said “70s lounge”

    31. What are some bands you regret not seeing live (or, just never had the chance to see in the first place)?

      For me, the biggest is definitely Modern Baseball. To set the scene, it's 2016, I was in high school, and a girl I was friends with told me about this band Modern Baseball. I liked them a lot, but...

      For me, the biggest is definitely Modern Baseball.

      To set the scene, it's 2016, I was in high school, and a girl I was friends with told me about this band Modern Baseball. I liked them a lot, but I wasn't quite at my peak emo phase (that would come about a year later during my freshman year in college lol), so I didn't get super into them or anything. Anyways, a few months after that, MoBo came through our city on tour and that girl and one of our other friends literally offered to pay for my ticket to the concert if I DDed for them... and I said no.

      Fast forward like 7 months and Modern Baseball goes on hiatus in early 2017, a hiatus that continues to this day, though they played a few one-off shows throughout 2017. Anyways, fall 2017 comes around and I listened to Modern Baseball more and realized I really liked them... but they're on hiatus and I missed my chance to see them!

      Anyways, I mostly made this thread because the fact that I turned down going to that concert is something I still think about from time-to-time and I wish I went, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has similar stories or just stories of bands you wish you could have seen.
