Fun fact about @AlyciaMarie: She always calls my metal/rock music either satan music or goober music. I'll have my AirPods in blasting X band, and she says, "Listening to satan music again"? Always gives me a good laugh. Half the time I'll show her a band and she thinks it's going to be a screaming band, but it'll be prog or something. I try my hardest to diversify her music, but it doesn't work

Okay, sir, those are some big accusations!
  1. I do call it both of those things, but JOKINGLY.
  2. I used to listen to that kind of music, but my taste has evolved to more calming, feel-good music.
  3. Although you are well-versed in metal and rock, you don't broaden your horizons beyond that.
  4. I can assure you that no music is superior to Randy Travis. And if you have Randy Travis, what more could you want?

Alright, I'm getting in on the music stuff. Fair warning, my suggestions will mostly be 80s, 90s, and classical.

My first suggestion is my all-time favorite song:


I remember its playing on the radio back then

I was born in 1998, so I can't relate to that, but it is very nostalgic for me. When I hear it, it takes me back to summers on the lake with my parents.

Chevelle is a classic band! I haven't listend to them in a hot minute
One of my favorites! Their newest album "Bright as Blasphemy" is great. They own their own record label now, so the music is incredible.

Now there is NOTHING more nostalgic than the Beach Boys to me! They are up there in my all-time favorite bands. Top 3 for sure.

I thought I'd kick off the classical theme (actually I think I did post Vivaldi's Winter once on here but not sure) with one of my favorite dance tunes:

Have a good day all!

I might have been a little to involved on the Biota thing. Time for a break and off to work. Had a few posts "moderated" and removed.

I do believe in managed fishery and aquaculture. But I do not agree with using aquaculture to eliminate competitors or families that have lived off the resources of the seas for generations.
Have a great day Lowell!

Good afternoon Smorgs! Morning for some of you still.
I have been extremely busy at work as of late, plus finishing up the new tank setup, and I have been absent.
I hope everyone is doing well!

I will start a build thread once I have some things hammered out with the tank.
