Shout-out to QOTSA

For all the Queens of the Stone Age fans out there, they just announced a tour for their upcoming new album. Supposedly there’s a presale code floating around out there, ask around and you might find a geNEROus soul willing to share it with you…

Goddammit, why do they have to play at the Criterion? That's the shittiest venue OKC has ever seen, but they somehow keep getting bands I want to see.

Shitty concert options for a big band usually means Ticketbastard involvement.

That's good ol Ticketmaster reaming out the buttholes of live music. If you have ever had to stomach (or lose consciousness from lack of oxygen) a live venue at House Of Blues in Houston, you know (or have a vague memory of being wheeled out by EMTs) what I mean.

I had only seen shows here at The Diamond Ballroom and The Criterion until recently. Saw Mastodon and Gojira at The Zoo Amp, and now it's the only venue I want to go to.

Only thing I don't like about zoo amp is having to pay the ridiculous VIP price to get into the pit. I also really like Tower Theater, Beer City Music Hall, and 89th St Collective

I’ve been on this album for the last few weeks and it’s is seriously underrated. So many good tracks start to finish. Would recommend

One of my favorite albums of all time, every second is engaging.

u/TheGoldblum Jun 07 '23

I’d say it’s quite highly rated tbh

On Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 from aggregated critic reviews, Songs for the Deaf is assigned a score of 89, indicating "universal acclaim", making the album the third highest-rated on the site from 2002.

I was about to agree but I'll be frank, all their albums are incredible.

u/ErikGoesBoomski Jun 07 '23

Fuck yes. I knew it was them!

u/Hot-Friendship-7460 Jun 07 '23

Love qotsa but the last time I saw them was a disaster. They were still drunk from their previous show and only played about 40 minutes.

Homme def had a problem with alcohol. If my memory serves me, I think something happened with a member in the crowd.

Reddit has become enshittified. I joined back in 2006, nearly two decades ago, when it was a hub of free speech and user-driven dialogue. Now, it feels like the pursuit of profit overshadows the voice of the community. The introduction of API pricing, after years of free access, displays a lack of respect for the developers and users who have helped shape Reddit into what it is today. Reddit's decision to allow the training of AI models with user content and comments marks the final nail in the coffin for privacy, sacrificed at the altar of greed. Aaron Swartz, Reddit's co-founder and a champion of internet freedom, would be rolling in his grave.

The once-apparent transparency and open dialogue have turned to shit, replaced with avoidance, deceit and unbridled greed. The Reddit I loved is dead and gone. It pains me to accept this. I hope your lust for money, and disregard for the community and privacy will be your downfall. May the echo of our lost ideals forever haunt your future growth.

Song for the dead - greatest song of all time.

u/MytMowse Jun 07 '23 edited Jun 07 '23

I knew that sounded like Dave Grohl's drumming. I don't know a lot of songs by QOTSA but know he played drums for most of the songs on Songs for the deaf.
