If Les Claypool is a jam artist, then call me crunchy. I saw both Primus and G Love a couple years ago and they were damn good shows!

My Morning Jacket puts out some outstanding traditional albums though so I dont think I would call them a jam band,
Yea I would agree, a bunch of those bands don't seem to fit in the genre for me.
That Circuital album by MMJ was a banger. Gonna go listen to it now.

If you want me to send you some stuff, i'd be happy to. I think music links are a lot like pictures of your junk. They should only be sent if explicitly requested.

a good point
I'm not some custy hippie or anything, but there are more than a handful of albums by Jambands [Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers] that are amazing...
but still string cheese incident & umphrey's and the like can get f***ed with a chainsaw dipped in ebola
Have you ever seen them live? Thats where the classification comes from. They jam the hell out of their songs.
Also, it saddens me a bit to see people hate jambands and criticize their fans. Phish has been a favorite of mine for a while
(although I dont like other jambands besides Phish/GD/Allmans). An open mind can go a long way with discovering new things in life.

People on 4chan are convinced their cracking this LV case. Their theory is that is guy was an undercover federal agent working a gun running sting operation trying to sell guns to an ISIS group. His cover was blown so they killed him & the group carried out the mass shootings. The government is obviously now covering this up.
I love conspiracy theorists.

Yeah...all of the tin foil absurdities are coming out of the woodwork. I mean one can question the official line for inconsistencies in any tragic event bc sometimes the full truth may be too damaging...I mean the Kennedy assassination still hasn't been fully declassified although I think some of it is up again for release...but some of the crackpot theories that come out are beyond the pale and might actually distract from legit ones. Conspiracies exist and I am not a fan of people completely discounting them or shutting off all thought the moment the word conspiracy is uttered. I mean if conspiracies didn't exist they would not be part of American jurisprudence but some are just out there.

I mean don’t get me wrong I don’t trust the government or politicians. I think they’re all scumbags regardless of what party they belong to. They only care about you when something is in it for them (votes). So I don’t care enough to defend any of them or buy into everything they say.
Obviously you have history but even things today when they come out about the government being shady. They’re usually stuff that doesn’t make you really question it even beyond the report. Like the whole Snowden thing for example. But like events like this & 9/11 common sense often rules most of the theories around them out.
In a case like this so far with what’s being reported I will admit that you could run with some theories based on half truths. The guy didn’t fit the typical profile, he was wealthy, he had multiple properties, he had a lot of guns on him in the hotel & at his other properties, he had a pilot license & owned planes, etc. Obviously the Newtown shootings made more sense given that kid was F’d up mentally his whole life.

My mind has been open for 49 years, and unfortunately, so have my ears. I know the Grateful Dead perfectly well. I know exactly how intolerable their music is, for my tastes. I'm not saying they are objectively terrible (though I am tempted), just to me they are. It's not like I am just hating stuff without knowing anything about it. Not this time, anyway.

Can we talk about how sad it is that AIM is shutting down in December?
I'm downright devastated.
I'm downright devastated.
So I bring my wife's (older 2007) car in, and find out other than brake repairs (pads/roters costing me $425) there is like 6-7 things that need to be fixed that would cost us 2-3k easily. Im not shelling 2-3k into a 10 yr old car even if it has 72k miles (I have shelled out enough in the past). So we are going car shopping. Yay for not totally expecting to do it this weekend.

I know that feel.
Happened to me a couple months back.

I must say, the new HFB layout is much easier on my computer.
The older version would lag the f*** out of my computer and freeze my browser after 5-10 minutes of use.
This version stays quick and smooth and I am able to browse for extended periods of time without having to kill the browser or have my computer freeze.

Same for me, pal - I handle ignore manually. And by "handle," I mean roll my eyes, sigh, boil, face palm, and generally barely keep myself from responding to the s**t nuggets.

That’s the team Mike Commodore played for there. He claimed the practice he had with the team a teammate showed up drunk.

Why would you ever do that to yourself?
I'd rather stick my junk in a beat trap than read any politics on the internet, let alone this site.

Sadly it's getting harder and harder to avoid politics being dragged into sports discussion. I used to really enjoy reading the Puck Daddy blog, but about a year ago they started posting more and more politically slanted articles and this year its gotten borderline unbearable. If you are a sports writer, I don't care about your political views (regardless of whether or not I agree with them). I watch sports to escape from that BS, I don't need it plastered in my face 24/7. ESPN is flat out unwatchable now. It's sad really, because the product as a whole suffers from this kind of stuff.
