Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stip]

what an odd coincidence!

[Sgt. Crackpot]

It's been a year already? Holy shit.

LB fell out of rotation a few months ago, but I do have a hackering to start it's second run. This will be interesting because second runs are generally a defining point on whether an album has further recurring rotation runs from then on.

[Lament]

I'm fairly certain I haven't heard LB since I was driving through Tennessee before Thanksgiving. And that was the first time I'd heard it since like mid-October. Which means it performed in my personal world about as well as Backspacer did.

[Lament]

At some point in the past few days, chud passed up harmless in posts.

harmless has been gone for like, eight months. That's how many posts he made in this thread. It took chud eight months to catch up to him. Amazing.

[Norah]

A few months ago it looked like stip was going to pass me.

[Lament]

Stip has been slacking.

[Norah]

The baseball tournaments haven't helped.

[Lament]

Stip could've joined. We don't have a Mets team.

[Coach]

I just searched Harmless' final posts. Man, I feel bad. I never knew he disappeared after an argument here about a Tweet?

[Lament]

To be fair, he shouldn't have come back in the first place. And I say that as one of his biggest supporters.

He left, came back, and then left again? I guess I spend too much time in Sports.

[Lament]

Yeah, he left for like two months and then came back again for a few weeks or so. The fight about the tweet was the second time he left.

[stip]

What was the tweet?

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Yeah, he only came back for a brief period. I thought it was the great return, but it was not to be.

I've come to terms now with him never returning, I just sincerely hope he has a happy life.

[Coach]

What was the tweet?

Sounds like an RMer found a Tweet that Harmless made and then used it to call him out, accusing him of being a hypocrite. (That's all speculation based on the three posts I read).

[Lament]

Yeah, that's pretty much the jist of it.

[BurtReynolds]

He's raging against ablist bicycle riders and grammar correctors in other places now.

[McParadigm]

Every now and then we have to turn on one of our own and fall upon them, just to sate our bloodlust. Doing otherwise could prove catastrophic.

[LetMeSleep]

I hope he and Sarah are doing okay. I missed the whole dramas, must have happened around May-June.

[Strat]

I really do hope the best for Harmless. He really seemed to struggle with anxiety/depression and some anger.

Ive been through it and tried to reach out to him a few times with no luck.
