was the DBK or FP actually good?

I remember really liking that Plunger and Escape Goat during my week of listening to UM that year

We’re putting NFT chips in vinyl now?

I like how the website says that the track list will be released on Friday but you can see it right now

We aren’t all outside the box thinkers like KB

They are NFC chips not NFT FWIW.

Kinda getting sick of Front Porch always making it. There’s so many other songs that they could put on vinyl that haven’t made it to Hall of Fame yet.

Most NFTs have been speculation/land grabs, and the vast majority will go to zero. But the underlying technology is here to stay. Call them by whatever name but they’ll be ubiquitous in 3-5 years. You might be asking, ubiquitous for what? You name it. Concert tickets, the title to your house, memberships to anything, your mortgage etc. A token is simply a verifiable digital asset. In an increasingly blended world of IRL & online, proof of ownership in a secure, verifiable way will be paramount. The ability to engage & reward using blockchain will be a game changer.

I don’t know the difference nor do I care

NFC chips come in a can like Pringles.

I’m only liking this post because it’s regarding Front Porch, and that song is the tits.

Non fungible chips are a totally different thing from non fungible tokens

2/17 Ringo and 2/18 Plunger

Edit-I just realized that I put this in the wrong thread.

I was disappointed when I threw on this ā€œPorchā€ and realized it was Front Porch. Thought I had somehow missed an awesome cover!

They’ve played the Pearl Jam song before

Forgot about those! UM usually does a good job with covers. This was a rough one in my opinion.

Release, for instance, I think they do a great job. Porch not so much. Really miss Eddie vox on that one.

The Front Porch on this HoF is pretty meh.

Bozeman Escape Goat is the clear JOTY after listening. Columbus Miami Virtue and the Detroit Mantis were nice to revisit as well

yeah, i didn’t like their porch cover. The tone of the band just doesn’t really work IMO

I thought that this HOF was going to have some Escape Goat mega song. I thought there was at least 3 really good ones, including the debut IIRC. i love most Front Porch renditions and this one had a couple decent jams that kept me bopping, but that’s because I’m biased towards the song. Mantis-Draco is actually my favorite part of the selections.

I thought so too. I would also replace that WBG with the NN from the same show. I understand a jammed out WBG is tough to beat, but that NN is much better for my taste.

I really like the WBG jam, but it does feel like a Tool rip off jam. I remember there was a Robot World from 2019 that was discussed for HoF that also felt very Tool esque
