Man, if I had to pick a single song to be stuck on an island with, it would be Swim To The Moon

They didn't play it (1h festival set so...) but they closed with Disease, Injury, Madness so I'm more than happy

Oof LaBrie live, you must be able to endure anything 😅 (jk)

I couldn't stand Dream Theater in the 90's when my big brother listened to it (and I was a teen just getting into metal, mainly thrash and extreme), but after listening to Coma Ecliptic I now really like them (and Yes)

I don’t really hate metalcore (I hate "mallcore" though), I just think the term is very often wrongfully used

I love Alaska with the vocals, as well as the first 2 albums and Prayer For Cleansing

I just saw Between The Buried And Me in concert for the first time a few moments ago. Yeah the photo is blurry and shitty but still I'm still sharing it cause they've been my favorite band since 2011 (I'm a late bloomer), after I only finally gave them a chance (after many recommendations in the 2000's) because Tommy was one of the guests on a Devin Townsend album, among the greatest guests possible (Ihsahn, Akerfeldt, Duplantier, Masvidal, Thordendal, ...). But I immediately fell "in love" and had no opportunity to see them live till now.

If you like prog metal but you've never gave them a chance because they're listed as "metalcore", I suggest you don't be a dumb-dumb like me and not waste years before finally listening to one of their albums (or even better, live albums)

"Funny" how a fascist supporting streaming platform would feature songs like that

‘A literal gut punch’: Missouri workers devastated by Republican repeal of paid sick leave (www.theguardian.com)

Voters approved sick leave mandate by 58%, but lawmakers are caving to lobbying by the state’s chamber of commerce

Being sick is a costly business for Bill Thompson, who worked in the fast-food industry in Independence, Missouri, for more than 30 years, and recently worked at Guitar Center until early July, when he was laid off as.

“As an older worker, I have health issues from working on my feet and with my hands for many years with no breaks for eight to 10 hours a day. I have done it for 38 years now, living paycheck to paycheck,” 54-year-old Thompson said, noting in Missouri, workers are not mandated breaks of any kind during work.

So when Republicans in Missouri repealed a paid sick leave mandate that the state’s voters approved by 58% after an aggressive lobbying campaign by the Missouri chamber of commerce and industry and other business industry groups, he said, “It was a literal gut punch.”
