I liked both endings. By sucks, I ment that I could no longer watch new episodes.

I liked the Succession ending. Reminded me of a Shakesperian King Lear tragedy. Very well acted out. The only negative I have against that show is I have no emotional attachment to any of the characters. It's a fantastic show with great writing, actors, music, etc...but I could not get any attachment into the characters, therefore I can't put it in my top shows of all time. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, and a few other shows rank above Succession IMO.
I also enjoyed Barry even though season 4 was a bit underwhelming. Bill Hader pushed the envelope with this show but probably went a bit too far in season 4 which hurt it a bit. It was still solid overall and I would still recommend folks to watch the entire series.
I can't wait for this! I really enjoyed Justified and I hope this lives up to the original show.

Justified and the Wire are still on my watch list, I just haven’t gotten around to them for one reason or another.

Barry ending was fine but I really question why they didn't stop at the end of last season. Felt like the natural stop point to me. The whole Gene 180 arc had me just asking why? Not a lot of laughs these past 2 seasons compared to the first and second seasons. Felt like the classic Rescue Me take yourself too seriously after getting some award notice rather than sticking to the drama wrapped in comedy formula that really got them to where they were.
It's what Bill Hader wanted I guess. He said in an interview he asked HBO's permission to write season 4 before season 3 aired (pandemic). So it was planned in advance.
it's next on my list - I just started heavenly deluison and it is great, but super messed up in some ways
They're both shows that usually end up interfering with me trying new shows.
I think I've watched Justified all the way through like 5-6 times now.

Does Justified start off good from the start or does it take a few episodes?They're both shows that usually end up interfering with me trying new shows.

I was hooked from the start, but it's basically a modern Western and that kind of stuff almost always gets me. I do think some of the subsequent seasons are better than the first but it's not one of those "you can skip the first season" shows.
I’m rewatching the recent Ghostbusters movie for the first time since seeing it in thr theatre. Not a great movie but I love the nostalgia. Definitely worth the watch if you enjoyed the old ones. Apparently it did well enough they are making another one.

Sleep Theory is another good one. (I don’t know Sleep Token)
I started Its Always Sunny. I’m so happy to know that I have a million seasons of this show to catch up on. I’m surprised that they don’t have to skip airing every other episode on cable TV tho
. The 1st season alone would’ve gotten any show nowadays cancelled.
Hey friends, I have been working on some music and have a new album coming out September 8th. I dropped a single and if everyone has a few minutes to check out some instrumental pop punk, here ya go!
That was fun. Sort of a jangly Byrds vibe going on there before it really picks up. Very impressive work. If there is one regret I have it is that I have never seriously given the guitar a try but I am pretty sure I don't have any talent for it whatsoever. I can't keep time on a super simple drum pattern and I don't have very steady hands at my age. You should see me putt on an undulating green when I am not sure of the break.
Thank you for listening and the kind words!
It's never to late to master an instrument. I actually am self taught on everything.... I taught myself how to play guitar using Dave Matthews tabs. He plays a really unique style of guitar that's not standard scales and notes.
Also listening to DMB helped me get the hang of time signatures. I just finished up a song that has a 3/4 intro, 4/4 verse, and 7/4 chorus.
I remember an interview where Ringo explained how he needed to find a hook to keep time in a non-standard song. He explained where he found that spot in Here Comes the Sun which has a tricky time signature and he displayed it (in the riffing after "It's all right") and it was interesting to see that. I am following you on Spotify now. I'll stop following you if I'm so old and uncool I'll alienate the kids. Just let me know your preference.
Hah I appreciate it! I have 300-600 streams on each of my songs... more than enough for me... not trying to be famous or anything. I just get extremely excited if anyone likes something I put out there.
I do think this new album is my best stuff. It's def the loudest and most fun. The single I released is like my 4th fav in this set.

Having some time off recently I binged Tulsa King and Mayor Of Kingstown. Mayor of Kingstown was f'ing phenomenal.
Based on the guitars you use a self compiled version of And Your Bird Can Sing would be a great addition to your sound in my biased view.
