| Giant_Aspirin 07/27/20 10:37:30 AM #51 | https://news.stanford.edu/news/2007/may9/smoking-050907.html "For example, if you're at a sidewalk caf, and you sit within 18 inches of a person who smokes two cigarettes over the course of an hour, your exposure to secondhand smoke could be the same as if you sat one hour inside a tavern with smokers. Based on our findings, a child in close proximity to adult smokers at a backyard party also could receive substantial exposure to secondhand smoke."Unlike indoor tobacco smoke, which can persist for hours, the researchers found that outdoor smoke disappears rapidly when a cigarette is extinguished. "Our data also show that if you move about six feet away from an outdoor smoker, your exposure levels are much lower," Klepeis added. "But likewise, when you go a little distance or stay upwind, the exposure goes way down. If there's just one smoker, and you can sit six feet away, you would have little problem" that makes it sound like the guy at the bus stop smoking 10 feet away from you is more of an annoyance to your nostrils than a real risk to your health. --- Playing: Disco Elysium; Rocket League You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

| Giant_Aspirin 07/25/20 5:52:33 PM #42 | Corrupt_Power posted... Guitar Peace sounds like it's straight off of a Tool album the story behind that one is cool. apparently he had a riff in his head, sat down and just started playing off it and recorded it. Guitar Peace started with this guitar riff in my head. One of the days we were at the studio, everybody took a break for lunch or dinner except me and our producer, Glenn. I said to him: I want to try this weird thing. Glenn has a harmonium, so we grabbed that and set up a couple of mics, and I grabbed this old, early-1940s Martin 000-28. It was a beautiful old guitar that was at Blackbird Studio. I had this little guitar riff already in my head but, the night before, I had watched this George Harrison movie with my girlfriend, and they were talking about Ravi Shankar a lot in that film. And, for some reason, I wanted to play my guitar without knowing what I was going to play. I wanted to make something up on the spot and feel itnot have any script, not have any plan. So I turned on the microphone, had Glenn put down a drone with the harmonium and played over it. I was trying to play from my soul. https://relix.com/articles/detail/track-by-track-billy-strings-home/ --- Playing: Disco Elysium; Rocket League You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

Very diverse and talented guy. i've seen him sport a t-shirt for (and talk about) Primus. i've seen him do a cover of Paranoid by Sabbath. i've heard him tease Schism by Tool. he was raised on bluegrass/etc and that's how he learned to play guitar. when he was a teenager he quit that scene and joined a metal band, which he says taught him how to perform. he got a new pickup and started using it this tour and it adds this awesome distortion/overdrive sound to his guitar which he just tears into smack in the middle of a bluegrass jam and it totally works. --- Playing: Disco Elysium; Rocket League You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

One of our techs at work has an old RV that's decked out with stickers on the back. Some nu-metal bands, lots of Grateful Dead iconography, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a Greensky sticker mixed in among the bunch i got into the whole bluegrass / prog bluegrass / jamgrass / etc. scene because of the Grateful Dead. i've been a big Deadhead for a long time and Jerry Garcia's solo career ventured off into that space, since he was originally a banjo player. it led me down a rabbit hole where i eventually found a whole crap ton of music to fill my ears with. the Grateful Dead took their rock n roll / country roots, threw in a bunch of eclectic covers and doused them in psychedelia and it's exactly why i love them so much. Billy Strings is doing the same thing, but his roots are bluegrass /super old country /americana / etc the show the band streamed tonight was really fucking good. it's not just me saying that, i'm seeing a number of people gushing right now over on the BS subreddit. a guy named John Mailander (fiddle) joined for the whole show and was the perfect 5th wheel for the band's mix of bluegrass and psychedelia. he is joining for saturday's show too! if any of you guys have any interest in what he's doing and really wanna see what the fuss is about, tune in saturday (07/25) at 8:00 PM EST. it's $10, but if you remotely dig what you've heard so far i almost guarantee you'll have a real fun ~2+ hours. i dont wanna get hit for advertising or anything, but if you search for 'streaming strings' you should be able to find what you need. they're gonna do their album "Home" for the second set. it's gonna be real fun. --- Playing: Disco Elysium; Rocket League You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

Would have never guessed bluegrass in a million years. He's good though! i can see that, especially in the first print. his stuff gets preeeetty psychedelic at times, well outside of normal 'bluegrass' boundaries. the other night they played a 23-minute "All Fall Down" that went waaaaaaaay out into space and back. t'was quite nice. treewojima posted...

I don't want CE to have my name and where I work, respectfully. understandable. that's still real cool! Corrupt_Power posted... Listening through one of his albums now. Kinda getting Tool vibes from some of it - one track especially (Spinning). Spinning is weird. he's only done that live a couple of times. BS is one of those music artists that really shines when they play live. don't get me wrong, the studio cuts are great tracks, but they lack the energy and exploration / improv of the live versions. plus the live shows have a BUNCH of covers. lots of old, traditional bluegrass tunes but also random ones like "Atlantic City" (Springstien), "Wild Horses" (Rolling Stones), and "Believe" (Cher). if you wanna hear what he really sounds like, or rather, why i and most of his fans really like him, listen to his shows. i posted a real, real good one above (post #18). or you can hop on here and browse. https://relisten.net/billy-strings TheGoldenEel posted...
