That's actually pretty good. I never would've saw it in a million years. I don't know how people get into new music today. Randomly surf youtube? Spin magazine website? The minimal role music plays in today's culture blows my mind.
I don't like the production of what little new music I hear. It's hollow for lack of a better term. Any good song goes down a notch on that alone.
I just kind of stumble onto stuff. Spotify directs you to bands you might like based on your listening habits. Some of my current favorite bands I discovered this way: The Night Flight Orchestra, Haunt, Magic Sword, Dance with the Dead, Meteor, Wytch Hazel (video above), Night Demon, Enforcer, Traveler.
Other stuff is suggested by YouTube after I watch a video of another artist. I think YouTube led me to that 69 Eyes video above after I watched Type O Negative. Steel Panther was suggested to me as well. They are just a fun, spoof band of 80s hair metal, but they are really good, and their shows are fun.

Hey Flagg, since you're in a battleground state, have you been inundated with calls, tv ads, radio ads, flyers, texts and other stuff from both campaigns?
In Illinois, hell I get nothing. At the presidential level, my vote is nearly inconsequential. My most impact is on statewide races.

Just got back from voting. In and out in 5 minutes. That's one vote in PA for Trump.
I voted early a couple of weeks ago and waited in an hour-long line, but on the morning walk with the dog today, I saw there was no line. I played myself. (Chicago burbs, here ...)

And so it begins....

I knew this was going to start. The shift in tone days ago was the warning sign. The polls going from "he's got it in the bag!" to "we're not promising anything" was another sign. The contrast in crowd size everyone was told to ignore is another.
Biggest red flag of all and when the Biden team could no longer kid themselves is when they realized Trump is pulling in minorities. If elections were covered like they used to be...down the middle on all news outlets, this would've been a huge story yesterday.
C'mon James, this is a Breitbart reporter quoting Trump's director of battleground strategy. Don't buy it.

Good night, everybody. Election Day will be fun, I hope.

Ok, since i’ve outed myself as an election data need, this one is fucking fascinating: Learn how decaying plankton from
the cretaceous period influenced voting habits in America starting in the 1970s.

Another modern band doing traditional metal.

Reality check: Montana is closer than Pennsylvania.

Of course, Biden can’t win there, but it should put the whole “Trump’s closing fast” into perspective. He’s going to be lucky to not lose a perennially red state this time.

I'm now aware of this tradition...what is this?
“ By tradition, all eligible voters gather in the storied "Ballot Room" at The Balsams resort in Dixville Notch to cast their secret ballots once polls open at midnight. Once every ballot is cast, votes are tallied and results announced -- hours before anywhere else, making it a favored spot for reporters and observers eager for any hints of what is to come on Election Day.”
Last time they voted for Clinton 4-2
