I used to live in DC, and discovered a great diner in Grasonville called Holly's. I love my fried chicken and to this day, my favorite was from Holly's. Sadly, it closed a few years back. Fond memories of not only great fried chicken, but finished with some of the best milkshakes going around...

I don't know about WhatsApp, FB has been running ads on Insta for awhile now. How else are they going to monetize it?

New comment by fourmii in "The Lost Prince of Yacht Rock"

fourmii — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 07:18:42 +0000

Oh man, thanks for this! Just listened to the whole album. I love this 'genre'.

I accidentally found YouTube Music yatch rock playlists and have discovered so many artists, new and old. Like Abandoned Luncheonette by Hall & Oates and anything by Poolside. And so many more...

They're all pretty loosely connected in this genre, it's all easy listening I guess.

New comment by fourmii in "How to Find New Music"

fourmii — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 03:00:40 +0000

I've been subscribed to Google Play Music for years now, mainly because I'm still on the intro $8.99/month rate. Finding new music on Play is pretty difficult, occasionally, some of the playlists do surface artists I've never heard of before.

So been resorting to a few different ways to find new music.

When I use to live in Boston, I would check the gig calendars of the places I loved going to. They tended to be smaller venues where more unknown artists played. I remember once seeing Imagine Dragons as a support at the Brighton Music Hall. Boston is full of wonderful small gig venues.

Now, when I visit different cities and places, I'll follow the venues on FB so I can easily see the gig calendars. I pretty much use FB as a bookmarker for venues and bands now.

Also, I recommend a cool site called Indishuffle, it's curated by a bunch of humans around the world (I believe).

New comment by fourmii in "Airbnb Plans to Verify Every Listing"

fourmii — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 03:44:20 +0000

I like the original premise of AirBnB, where homeowners could rent out a spare bed or their home when they were on vacation. But seems like these days, those homeowners are either all gone, or are being hugely outnumbered by scammers or AirBnB businesses. We (a group of 5 friends) just finished a trip in Vietnam and we used AirBnB3 times. And all 3 times, the listings were not exactly truthful. The worst was a listing in Hanoi that claimed to be able to fit 12 adults. When we arrived, we could only identify 4 queen beds (2 of which were jammed together in 1 room). The other 2 listings we used were in the same complex in Saigon. We booked the listings based on our criteria of having a single home with at least 5 bedrooms. Both listings turned out to be 2 separate apartments. Both are in a complex claimed to be among the first in Saigon to disallow AirBnB. Both times, we had to pretend to the receptionists that we were long term renters. We wanted AirBnB so that we could chill together in a common space. These experiences make use want to book hotels next time...
