Hot take off the grill...

Gulf Shrimp > Caribbean Lobster

Never had spiny lobster so it's hard for me to judge but I feel like there's a reason we have tanks of cold water lobsters from much farther away and nobody sells the warm water ones.

I also think the only think that keeps blue crab from being regarded as well as lobster is that you have to work a lot more to get the same amount of meat. To me the flavor is at least as good. Not sure if that is a hot take or not.

Pretty much gave up on Flaming Lips at Soft Bulletin. When they were an alternative/indie rawk band they would literally blow the doors off a venue. So loud and bass-y you would be afraid that you would crap yourself.

I started following them at Soft Bulletin - seen them more than a few times since then. I think for awhile it got to be too gimmicky / Wayne got pretty long winded, but the last time I saw them it seemed a lot tighter and the visuals were wild. Wayne still extends stuff out, but nowhere near what it was during the At War With the Mystics tour.

That being said, I wish that I had seen some of the early shows - the '96 tour in particular. The low-fi aspect of the background lights is just amazing.

I mean more of the former. I don't mean songs that are long for the sake of being long.

I think it all depends. Long songs that are long and repetitive and boring are no better for being long and brevity is a form of genius. It takes an extraordinary skill to pull off a long song, very very few artists possess it in the pop/rock spheres.

Over course other types of music that have movements rather than songs are a different kettle of fish altogether.
 
EDIT: A quote of a @Joe Mac hot take regarding the quality of Nirvana's oeuvre was previously found here. It has now been redacted as a clerical error resulted in its inclusion and as it bears no relevance on the foregoing.

I really like the VMP OBIs and resealable sleeves. The OBIs make the name really visible on a shelf and the resealables basically function as a free sleeve I can reuse instead of using of my own plastic sleeves

I'm always afraid the reseal is going to snag and turn my NM sleeve into a G+.
Also my OBIs always get damaged when re-bagging the album...but my wife probably wouldn't describe me as a "delicate" person.
I'm amazed some of my collection has survived this long.

Best use of an OBI strip is at Limited to One Records in NYC .
They are handwritten with: Artist, Title, Release/Edition info, price, Media Condition Grade and Sleeve Grade.
It makes digging through their shop a very a pleasant experience.
