I am a lighting designer for concerts so right off the bat my career would be over. Outside of work I listen to music a lot to help motivate me to do things so it would be much harder for me to accomplish anything.

Nothing quite like a booty beer after a swim.

My absolute favorite is Hailstorm doing Daft Punks Get Lucky.

I also really like The Interrupters doing Bad Guy.

The Cleverlys have a lot of really good, over the top, bluegrass covers but I think my favorite might be Party Rock Anthem.

I could keep going on this subject for a while. I have a 12+ hour and growing playlist of nothing but covers that I really enjoy.

My 2023 Mazda has a touch screen but you never actually have to touch it. In fact, they put it far enough away that it is difficult to touch while driving and disable the touch when the car is moving. There are knobs and buttons in-between the front seats that control it. Also none of the important stuff is controlled through the infotainment system, it is just settings, satnav, and radio (or Android Auto/carplay). Not having to interact with a touch surface while driving is one of my favorite features of my car, and there are a lot of other things that I love about it too.

The theory that I heard that made the most sense is that he thinks by renaming it he can circumvent the Biden ban on new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

We were setting up for a concert one time and I was helping the FOH engineer (sound guy) check all the instrument/mic lines. One of the instruments was a Moog synth. I started randomly playing it (I do not play piano or synth) so he could check it. After a couple of seconds he said something about me playing a song and I told him I had never heard of it. Apparently I had accidentally played the opening of a song he really liked.

My wife’s family drives like this, not just with the pedals but with the wheel too. Instead of turning it to where it needs to be and holding it they turn it to far then over correct back twords center then back to the first spot they turned it to, then overcorrect, and repeat the entire turn. Thankfully I was able to get my wife to stop driving this way when we started dating and now she hates riding with any of her family driving as much as I do.

For the use case scenario OP described I definitely agree that musicians plugs are the way to go. These Etymotics are what I use as my backups if I don’t have my custom molds with me.

I got my custom molds for concerts from an audiologist, all in they were $150 and well worth every penny. Also, because they are for work, they got written off on my taxes.
