@PopeBeanie – And much later, as an adult visiting Tennessee, often the first question when meeting someone was “So what charch do ya go tah?”.

I hope you told them to go and ‘Have a blessed day’. That’s what I say in Georgia 🙂

@PopeBeanie

Okay, I think I’ve got the name thing sorted now.

“Mexican names follow Spanish naming customs: [personal name(s)] [father’s paternal family name] [mother’s paternal family name].”  (source)

Using only two of their three names is probably a bow to naming conventions among English-speaking northerners where we leave the mother’s maid…[Read more]

Martirio, sung in her native language brings out the beauty of her voice more than her songs sung in English.

It was a treat to hear her sing it a cappella.

@PopeBeanie

Like you, I’m waiting for Rick Beato to cover The Warning. In his last video on the deadly sameness of contemporary pop music, I commented something like “What? Is The Warning invisible to Rick Beato?” hoping to kick him in the pants to  talk about them. WTF?!!!

He has a bazillion followers. For him to devote a segment to them would…[Read more]

As someone who was in college during the heyday of The Beatles and Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and the Who (all of whom I saw live) as well as Led Zeppelin, I feel somewhat qualified to say that if I could somehow get to choose between any of those bands and these three chicas, I’d rather attend a concert by The Warning.

These young…[Read more]

On relistening to “23” I’m realizing that not only is Pau singing and playing drums simultaneously, but she’s not playing a straight thump-thump-thump on the bass drum, but is often playing a syncopated pattern on the bass. I’m pretty sure that’s fairly difficult to master.

@PopeBeanie

It’s always a treat when Pau sings any kind of song, but especially when any sort of sweetness is involved. I just discovered the song “23,” and it’s the fact that she is singing it that makes it special. Dany would be very unconvincing singing it. It needs Paulina’s voice.

If you’re willing to give up on solar and rely on a battery that can last several years you can get the “wave ceptor” frequent time correction function for as little as $29.

@PopeBeanie

Any of my mechanical watches will keep time well enough for your transportation needs. LOL

If a watch is 5 or 10 seconds slow or fast, you’d never know the difference between your watch or any properly functioning mechanical watch.

@PopeBeanie

I agree, mostly.

Trump’s fiercely powerful reality distortion field makes Steve Jobs’ look like amateur hour. Jobs’ RDF only extended to engineers and the design department of Apple. Trump’s extends to vast swathes of America where people habitually vote GOP.

There is a segment of the powerful far-right that knows what’s wrong with…[Read more]

They have benefitted all along from their fact that their Dad is in the business because he owned a recording studio and presumably knew talented people in the business, so five years ago they were already getting professional videos done for them. I’m guessing he either paid for the work out of his own pocket or called in some favors…[Read more]

What can anyone really know about risks on a vaccine that was rushed out at “light speed”?

Many drugs, frustratingly, go through painfully long periods of testing on volunteers before being released, and even then side effects and other risks emerge. Some drugs are even pulled off the market after release despite the rigorous testing.

@PopeBeanie

They seem unable to do anything badly. Even though these are earlier songs from the Queen of the Murder Scene album and not up to the level of their more recent songs from the Error tour (is there an album yet?), they are all quite enjoyable. I do like electric rock more than “unplugged” rock. I think of rock as an electric guitar medium.

@PopeBeanie – My gray line would prioritize some kind of measurement of consciousness in the brain, and felt “life experiences” which even I can’t define clearly.

I posted an article in the latest Sunday School that discusses this point. Here you go.

@PopeBeanie – It is a narrowly focused ideology, like one of the ten commandments, where perfect is the enemy of good and any deviation from the idealism is a sin by definition. (Wait, is that a wokeness-like conviction?!)

No, it is not but it is a very good one line summary.
