Random, Spontaneous Thoughts about UM (Part 1)

That’s a really cool trinket. I’m not super big on trinkets myself, and certainly not a part of the trinket trade, but I like that one

Ya there’s some good ones out there. Not enough to get sucked into the trinket world, but they’re out there.

I think @jachapman made a few bucks pushing trinkets on the side idk the margins tho

Need to get some insider trinket trading info

I have a few of his still. Those mirro plungers he did and gave all the money to the funeral costs was a grade A gesture.

I’ve spent way more than I’d like to admit on trinkets… but not as much as so of my friends.

I found one dead in my parking lot the other day and listened to Mantis. I guess there was something there worth dying for…

Dark August jams are a lifestyle choice I’ve fully committed to making. Listening to 2007-03-15 right now.

When introducing somebody to UM, what’s your go-to song (live or studio)?

Prowler, Fussy, GITV, Tinkles… proggier instrumentals. I try to go as long as possible before playing a song with lyrics

Man I am fucking up my posts today.

Puppet String

To me it depends on what kind of music/favorite bands they like already. I try to give them something that’s closer to that to get an instant reel-in. In a vacuum, All in Time, Fussy, Phil’s, maybe Puppet. Like to throw in a sick as cover of Rosanna or something which tends to get a good reaction

If they’re a proghead: Wizard Burial Ground or Plunger
If I know they like dancy music: 3x (preferably one with a good mid length jam. I’ve even used 12/28/13)
Everyone else: All In Time or Kitchen
