  • Yes, a real band. They were really popular among the indie-folk-pop set around the turn of the last century. The bit on parks and rec was just a way to establish April’s character as ‘too cool for all you bitches’.

    Pretty good stuff if garage studio music is your jam, but if you haven’t heard them yet, they may sound derivative because they did influence a lot of later stuff in that genre.






  • These advertisement-delivery systems at the pumps piss me off. They blare loudly.

    Here’s a question for the techie crowd.

    I used to be able to press the physical buttons on either side of these screens and get the ads to mute. It was a two-button combo I discovered using a systematic method as a way to control my irritation at the excessive volume. It was either that or stick a pencil in the speaker.

    This worked at gas stations in several states for months. The mute feature was surely written in as a sanity saver for the developers and technicians. It stopped working a few weeks ago, so I guess the pushed out a patch.

    Not much of a question I guess, except what gives? Does anyone have insight into these systems for realsies?
