YELLOW

Headed to see the Boston show on Sunday, proper stoked!

Which bootleg are we liking the best? Or has the best quality? I need something to listen to at work today

I've been seriously getting into pizza making over the last couple months. After watching a New York style pizza recipe by J Kenji Lopez Alt on YouTube, I decided to dive in, buy all the right equipment, and take a whack at it. My mindset is always: buy the right equipment upfront and it'll make the whole experience better. So I went ahead and bought the 14" x 16" Baking Steel (I would've loved to get the 16" x 16" but my oven isn't quite deep enough for it), as well as a wooden pizza peel for launching, and then a thinner, metal one for rotating and retrieving. I'll preheat the oven and steel at 550 degrees F for maybe 15-30 minutes before shaping the dough and building the pizza. I've had an Ooni outdoor oven for a couple years, but the first time I used it the experience didn't go so well so I am excited to try to break that out again this summer. I think a smaller, homemade crust is the key to this (not the store bought one I used the first time...) I've been following the J Kenji dough recipe, which yields a really good and poofy crust. He says it is okay for a same-day pizza but I've found it leads to a pretty cracker-y crust if you do it that way. So I have been making the dough and letting it ferment in the fridge for about 3-4 days. I am experimenting with sauce now to find one that I like, but I think I want something just very simple (maybe just milled tomatoes and some salt). The sauce in the picture below is a recipe I found online that has a lot of dried herbs and spices in it. For cheese, I've been doing a whole milk, low moisture mozzarella, and then finishing it with a grating of parmesan after it comes out of the oven. I'll also do a swirl of the Graza 'drizzle' olive oil when it comes out of the oven. This is a picture of the pizza I made last night that I was super happy with, except maybe the sauce. But I have improved a lot and it's been pretty fun!

Was it the fetus?? Hahaha

"building the world's largest bonfire" is an amazing quote about the BoC wait

I'm going on holiday in Scotland in a couple months, I'll try to knock some motivation into them

Saw Part Two this past weekend in IMAX, really blew me away! I definitely recommend checking it out on the biggest screen you can. The worm riding scene was top notch, and probably the loudest scene I've ever heard in a theatre. Also, watched Lynch's Dune for the first time last night. It's...interesting. My biggest takeaway is that it just feels so rushed. I really appreciate now having 5.5 hours of Villeneuve's Dune to get the story across, rather than Lynch's two hours. I thought the Navigators in the 1984 version were pretty cool, but nearly everything else I prefer the new movies.

Wow this is dumb

I personally love Jacquard. I remember the first live stream, it kinda lulled me to sleep a bit (in a good way)

Most likely yes. May even be interested if there was like a one-time, lifetime fee

I dig this release, although my initial reaction to the last half of Dreamfear was a bit mixed. I think it'll grow on me

I clean my house a lot to the Melbourne 2010 bootleg, really energetic and propulsive. I'm always amazed how much I get done in an hour, heh

Hopefully this gets recorded!

Oooo this new stuff sounds the tits All this covid talk reminds me that I was supposed to see him in Boston before that show got cancelled. Think he was even playing in Vermont too which could've been fun. I did get to attend this show in NYC though which was a fuckin blast:

Great catch! If anyone is active on Letterboxd, I keep a list there with samples I've identified in his tracks. I have notes for each with timestamps too. https://letterboxd.com/ckmack/list/movies-sampled-by-vhs-head/

Netflix is so full of mid content. I swear their movies don't feel like actual movies, and they're just churning them out. Out of all the streaming services, it's definitely the one I would axe first. Although I would miss streaming Seinfeld, but yet the aspect ratio is all screwed up on it anyways...

I wouldn’t want to cause any rifts and divulge their info

Haha, yes. My mistake

@3:21 for me, love it

There was so much ADR in Fury Road, I was really distracted by that. I wonder if this is gonna fall victim too

I mean, you answered your own question. I can go to my local record store today and pick up the repress of Draft, but I can't do that for Exai... Add on the fact that Exai is a 4x vinyl box set. It's simple supply and demand

Really really digging tracks 2 and 3! The "Phocus" track: I think I prefer his version he presented in the live Facebook video he did in April of 2020

Nabbed an umbrella and a hat
