  1. I gotta give at least rudimentary props to a band Jello Biafra refers to as "the most violent band in the world," even beyond inventing a language to sing in. I'll generally give a platter a few spins to try to digest it, and if it's too dense I quite. Many Magmas are on that inaccessible side of the knife edge but others like Üdü Ẁüdü focused in. Yeah, weird as af band. Gong, I arrived from the other direction, starting with their most fully-formed psychedic opus "You" (got it on 8-track from that one warehouse on Harlem Rd... think it was 10 cents). Being an essential, top-tier prog album of the ages is a thing; Daevid Allen reined in his goofballness and Gilli's cringe to embrace the tourniquet tightness of the band and especially Moerlen and Howlett, not to minimize Hillage and Malherbe with some crushing riff interludes, particularly side 2 (once I got the platter). It was like Hawkwind with something other than 4/4 rhythm and guys who weren't so tripping that they could actually play at the absolute highest level. That album I'll always have fond memories of being out in the fields with the 8-track blasting from the car, climbing trees and picking cherries (no metaphor, that actually happened). Edit: Continuing the story because I'm as drunk as bored. @DrW just skip to 33:20 I came to learn this was third of a trilogy, and the next I was to acquire was the first - Radio Gnome Invisible. I was... taken aback by how absolutely freakin' weird it was, yet somehow captivated. Years went by and I saw at some obscure store (probably Home Of The Hits) Angel's Egg. The missing piece, the holy grail. And in my recollection it did NOT disappoint. It was the most agressive and grabby in my view. Although these guys were still freakin mutants. (is it normal to not blink for that long?) A weird progression to be sure, and with the curse of way too much listened to, the Gong trilogy seems to track most closely (IMO) with the Foxx Ultravox epoch going from most accessible, to most aggressive, to most accomplished.
  2. I do enjoy when the cover version adds something significant to the original.
  3. Thought you'd never ask. Remember when they almost had that hit single? Well, not so much, but in some parallel universe maybe? Everything else they did ended up somewhere between Zappa, the brown acid from Woodstock, Roy Wood, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Monty Python. Edit: Except for that one punk record. At least they kept it to English or French and not some proprietary thing like these guys who are looking more like a Tattooine cantina group these days (but with a much better rhythm section)
  4. I'm grateful it didn't come to that. KC winning like that in the exact scenario the Allen rule was implemented for (because the Bills were denied an OT possession in the 2022 divisional round) would have been as galling as it is Billsy.
  5. The first or second series for KC iirc went to 4th down and < 1 yard at their own 30 or something. If KC gets the ball first, do they go for it there knowing that failing to convert is an insta-loss?
  6. Well that's enough for me, can't handle anymore KC rimrocking. Nite all
  7. One mistake? The INT? Not the grounding, not the floater to the middle that hit turf?
  8. Definitely some reruns and some non-debut ads.
  9. [10:35] I'm too old for this ***** 1) Kung Fu Panda 4 2) State Farm is theya Ahnold repeat
  10. SF starting the OT the way that, if they had started the 3rd quarter this game would have been done half an hour ago
  11. THAT'S what they call for holding? Uhhhhhh
  12. Did someone win a game of "pin the tail on the Aiyuk"?
  13. "What do mean holding, that's how I taught him to hold!" -Spagnuolo to ref, per my lip reading
  14. Shanny, the offensive McDermott. Hey, KC was holding? No kidding?
  15. [10:20] we're going to oooooooooovertime... for all the backup commercials 1) Progressive recycled Kid N Play 2) Discover repeat 3) Monkey Man, the John Wick of Mumbai
  16. Watch KC win the toss, score TD, Niners get the ball because of the Josh Allen rule, score a TD go for 2 win the Lombardi
  17. Stinger. Clock was stopped, no TO required.
  18. FWIW if Bass made his kick this is probably how it goes
  19. 12 out of 19 points is not nothing. If Shanny wasn;t the Wile E Coyote of offsene and stopped using him it's CMC easy
