Turn down for what?

So sayeth Little Jon the Wise, Prophet of the Crunk.

A light in the darkness; his sage words bring hope in harsh times and bring booties to shake like amphorae filled with salt.

The system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as intended.

His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.

ahh, jeez. If I’d known you were into vinyl, I’d have thought twice about these recommendations ;)

Glad to spread the good news. I think I found them in a listicle about “the best non-metal satanic groups” along with Amigo the Devil, Twin Temple, and Dorthia Cottrell, among others.

I found a lot of good music from that list, and it wound up sending me down a three-year rabbit hole when it mentioned psych doom and stoner rock, which I had never really explored (and now stoner/doom is one of my favorite genres).

So, clearly I have pretty positive memories of that particular article; I’ll see if I can find it again, because if you like Bridge City Sinners, there’s a lot more to explore

Edit: found the link and it’s just as good as I remembered from when I first found it 3-4 years. I still listen to a lot of these bands

Edit 2: It seems like the Sinners aren’t actually in this list directly, but I have a vivid memory of discovering them through this article, so I must have dug into the “People also listen to” sections in Spotify

That’s fair. Psychobilly tends to have more punk/progressive tendencies, but like most music scenes, there’s a wide variety of people who self-identify into that group, not all of whom share the same values/politics. With Rockabilly in particular, you get considerable overlap between the nostalgia for the fashion and music of early rock’n’roll and the nostalgia for the politics and society of the same era.

Libby Lux, lead singer of the Bridge City Sinners, fits the bill pretty well, but as you say, no mohawk. I feel like once you get into the folk-punk/psychobilly scene, the default is more often rockabilly greaser/pinup than punk but there’s exceptions to everything.

Edit: Also, their particular flavor of satanic folk-punk is particularly good, if you’re into that sort of thing. I think they do a pretty good job of writing catchy songs with a mashup of B-movie pulp (a la The Cramps or the Misfits), occult themes and imagery, and modern relevant topics like mental health issues and substance abuse. 9/10, highly recommend, especially their first 2 albums, the first of which has my all-time favorite version of “St. James Infirmary Blues”

Depends on how steep the hill is and how precise you need to be with your position. Parallel parking in San Francisco almost requires the handbrake.

I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and regularly drove my standard transmission in San Francisco (one of the hilliest cities in North America), and used my hand brake all the time to maintain my position while I engaged the transmission. I’m not really sure what you’re on about…

I think you’re on the money with yeet, and I think “af” (as in “Dark Souls is hard af”) still has a fair bit of usage considering how old it is and how cringe it was for a while.

Cringe, too, for that matter, although I still think “cringey” is better

Edit: I predict “low key” will stick around, too.

Nooo cap…

It’s all just because Americans edit: the majority of Americans have a pathological aversion to metric prefixes

No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.

Hope that helps!

I’m no mechanic either, but it looks like you can tighten the chain around a stuck cap and then use the red handle as a lever to apply a large amount of force, “unsticking” the stuck cap

Except then you eat it and your mouth is numb for a bit and it helps the hangover
