Talk amongst yourselves.

This happened to me at a concert in Cincinnati once. Veil of Maya opened and played a great face melting hardcore set with thrashing and screaming and moshing, then Animals as Leaders came on and played the most autistic set I've ever seen. Every one of them looked like a music school postdoc just casually jamming, while the pit was still going and having a great time. At one point, the lead guitar Tosin notices some issue with the speakers, stops the music, goes up to the mic with the tiniest little mouse voice, and is like "I'm hearing an audio issue I can't play through, speak amongst yourselves while we get it fixed". Absolute banger of a show. I think of that every time I hear "talk amongst yourselves" now.

Ha, fun story. Is "most autistic set" supposed to be a compliment?

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I don't know that I'd call it a compliment or an insult? It just was. It was unusual to see "a few dudes in short sleeve button ups and khakis who look like a mildly jamming dad band" keep the concert energy up after Veil of Maya played and performed a much more stereotypical hardcore set. They didn't speak to the crowd at all, other than the one interruption when the sound wasn't right. My comment may also have been influenced by the fact that I've watched some of his (Tosin Abasi) guitar tutorials on YouTube and it is exceedingly clear that he's working with a healthy dose of the tism. Calling it autistic wasn't meant as a compliment or an insult though, just a matter of fact neutral statement about the experience.

I got a notification from an app on my phone about possible Aurora Borealis last night. There was a 14% chance. I went outside to check a couple of times, but no luck this time.

Dang, that would have been cool.

Sometimes it can be so faint that you can’t see it with the naked eye. I’ve heard of folks being able to see it in phone camera recordings in these cases.

I've heard of that happening, too. We got lucky not too long ago (this past winter, maybe?) and had some really good northern lights. Definitely visible to the naked eye!
