damn…ok…well I dont' know what to say then since you won't share any details about your marriage so pick whichever one fits…:

1. Congrats man! SO happy for you! I hope you guys enjoy your eastern shore wedding….Where are you heading for the honeymoon? I must strongly advise against Mexico… the whole place is a shithole….spend the extra money and head to Polynesia… for a honeymoon you will remember and treasure…

or

2. damn man… what a bitch.. I can't believe she called it off.. you're better for it.. you're too young to marry man…play the field.. get some pussy.. don't marry the first woman that lets you get some action man.. that is a surefire recipe for an early divorce and nobody wants that… She did you a favor man…
::)

I have zero interest in sharing details of my personal life on here. 
so we agree… good..good
You are the one who brought it up. 

I was trying to talk about Xiu Xiu.

Kind of weird he has to put that kind of prep time in to play his own songs acoustic. . .

sounds entirely plausible.  could easily be longer depending on the type of solo show - voice + guitar only?  one-man laptop show?  remixes?  

another way of looking at it is that he needs to prepare 15+ songs in some new format.   could require re-recording parts to accompany him, editing existing tracks, spending time making the song work as a solo performance, etc.  4 hours per song doesn't seem that crazy.
Zoom in, zoom out, click everywhere. Read and listen.

I'm more concerned that he's overweight and still smoking cigarettes and sporting such a cliche haricut at his advanced aged.

The only disappointing part of that story was that it was only one bottle.

Zero. Fucks. Given.
I was, going to post something witty, as the kids are saying nowadays . . . but wow, forum, wow.
not sure how I feel about the new metallica, album.
I do not know about the album either, but I did not hate the new track. 

Edit: Maddow digs it too

God bless the great @Metallica for the new perfect soundtrack for 2016 – just in time.

and we should care about what Rachel Maddow thinks about music because????
I care more about her opinion than yours. 

I thought it was interesting that she commented on the song, that is all.

I think it's less important that it is her, than it is that there is a consensus.  She is, like each of you, a data point.  If only we had polls on the forum…
