Paper Brain

@closet_jock Going to assume all the likes on this tweet are from Aquarians

aquarius's are so annoying because they have a superiority complex but they can actually back it up

@BlakeOnWax True! I guess I don’t want to come across as a Relient K apologist.. give the dudes felonies

@BlakeOnWax except the dude who wrote it, right?

@IvanRosebud @colinjenkins_ lol.. yes, but the geriatric version

@colinjenkins_ @paperbrain mike you remember doing this to me?

@colinjenkins_ Maybe he’s just getting that lettuce?

@mo_troper Pretty sure McCartney did this when he recorded all of his leads, but refuses to admit it

straight into the house

something is wrong with my ears where i gravitate towards the most piercing, brittle guitar tones

Absolutely unsurprised

@IvanRosebud @colinjenkins_ lol.. only thing keeping me competitive is my shot. Can’t really jump, so I won’t even call it a jumpshot

@colinjenkins_ Ball brothers for a couple. Our man Simmons (he gets a pass but it’ll haunt him when he can’t out jump everyone) only one ive ever scene do it succefully is @paperbrain lol

I’m still not down with the wacky basketball jumpshot forms some players have nowadays. Gonna hold your back as a player eventually. When are the other athletic skillz are diminished a good jumper never dies

@IvanRosebud Dunlop needs to send him a box of picks, asap

This is great

@mpsinger @mo_troper Totally get it and I don’t think there’s anything but good intent behind the piece. However, it still bums me out a lil bit.

@paperbrain @mo_troper It gets more people to read. If we were just to say, "Here's a bunch of cool bands," that's not going to catch as many eyes as saying, "We polled the people most knowledgeable and obsessed with Portland music and this is who they say you absolutely need to hear."

Hey, it's Best New Band, still the best "meaningless popularity contest" (c) @mo_troper in town! We do this to introduce readers to local music they wouldn't discover otherwise, and since I'm way out of the loop now, it's now a discovery tool for me. wweek.com/music/2020/07/…

@mpsinger @mo_troper That’s heartbreaking

@ColinJenkins_ Need a longer version of this, please

@mo_troper Love it

@paperbrain yeah Lennon and Roger Waters I think

contender for greatest elvis costello line “was it a millionaire who said imagine no possessions / a poor little school boy who said we don’t need no lessons”

@alexcasebeer I’m not saying every single cop is inherently bad. However, I am saying that every cop (good or bad) who doesn’t stand up to abhorrent behavior by other cops is indeed bad.

@paperbrain I disagree. I think the culture of the department is probably what reigns supreme. I have many cop friends in Salem and the department is well run, solid and full of good people. You can’t just say that all cops are bad.

When people say it’s just “one bad cop” they’re ignoring all of the other cops that don’t stop the “one” from doing bad. So, yes, they’re all bad cops.

@IvanRosebud lol.. you and me, both 😒

@paperbrain Man that’s the truth. I’m running out of time here mike!

Not worried about playing live shows but when do we get to play our weekly basketball nights again?!?
