Its silly, but there's a part when Kingsley is removing eyebrows and it may be one of the most honest performances for a brief second. Something about his delivery, cadence... maybe pace is a better word; its just great.

tomf Link ParentI'm not American -- and I'm thinking I might just ignore the bulk of their election this time around. Too many idiots. It was kind of funny until they won.I'm not American -- and I'm thinking I might just ignore the bulk of their election this time around. Too many idiots. It was kind of funny until they won.

tomf LinkI have this pack from Aliexpress and its awesome. I don't wear it every day, but I do wear it often. You can sling it or just wear it around your waist. I prefer the waist -- just a little loose...I have this pack from Aliexpress and its awesome. I don't wear it every day, but I do wear it often. You can sling it or just wear it around your waist.

tomf LinkYou can always mess with Stylus to move stuff around. I use Stylus to change everything... but more importantly, I hide vote counts across the site, since that count is meaningless.You can always mess with Stylus to move stuff around.

Comment on Your favorite band that no one has heard of? in ~music

Tooth and Nail (and co) had a lot of fun bands like Craig's Brother, The Deadlines, even that Fine China record was great. These bands were more grounded than the more CCM ones --- they were basically robots. I was in the industry back then and we'd go to festivals and chat these people up and they were just dead inside... these zombies going through the same routine as if it were off the cuff.. but you'd see it a few times and it was simply depressing. Even dudes like John Reuben were like this for the show but at least he was normal off the stage.
There was a lot of really good hip hop back then via Syntax Records and some others. Lojique and that whole group was especially good. Well, it was back then... some of it probably hasn't aged as well.
I'm glad you also got out.

The album was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory of Music's children's choir... and is an excellent poppy-end-of-darkwave record.
This isn't exactly a 'never heard of them' record, but it definitely isn't as popular as it should be (especially with 336k monthly listens.)

Dig in to Jurado, though. He went through a psych folk phase (which is another old christian genre worth a look). He's put out a shitload of records, too.

The second season was alright, but dragged... I didn't even bother with the third. Its a shame because the first season captured something that The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley was lacking.
They should retire the series or completely flip it on its head somehow.

tomf Link ParentThat 5,000 karma over a year is going disqualify most folks that help out in support-focused subs where up-votes are rare, even though the comments are helpful.As a “top contributor,” you’ll get $1 for every gold you earn. To cash out, you’ll have to surpass that 10 gold minimum and earn more than 5,000 karma over a 12-month period.

I thought this was a great race. A little shithousery. A little chaos. Also great to see McLaren so steady, fighting a bit but still working as a team.
wouldn't this be a good use for blockchain somehow?
