Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:29 (nine years ago) link

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link

Hi Raccoon Tanuki,

What are your feelings about dubstep? Also, how do you feel about hoodies?

Yours,

mattresslessness, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 22:15 (nine years ago) link

Dear Raccoon Tanuki (if that is your real name),

Would you consider defecting to UKIP in the middle of the Conservative annual conference?

Are you a big jazz boy or a little jazz boy?

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 2 October 2014 09:21 (nine years ago) link

this thread inspired me to go back to trane. man, the opening beauty of “spiritual…” it’s like a dream i had: i floated on the river nile, smokin’ some fresh weed, relaxin’. but i ain’t ever gonna see the nile anyhow. this track’s as close as i come, and it’s close enough. best of the best, though, has gotta be “india.” it’s only when you listen to a perfect old jazz tune like this that you realize how much drum-n-bass is derived from this music. trane takes it to heaven and back with some style, man.

what is your favourite premium bourbon?

the final twilight of all evaluative standpoints (nakhchivan), Monday, 13 October 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link

Beer man.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link

what's yr favorite beer

festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link

Fan of Honker's Ale.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link

Hard to find in these parts. That brewery (Goose Island) has another that's easier to find though, India Pale Ale. I actually prefer American Craft to English Ale.

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:12 (nine years ago) link

Goose Island was purchased by InBev. Is it still American Craft?

GhostTunes on my Pono (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:24 (nine years ago) link

Raccoon, I think you should revise that opinion. I went to Central London recently and there were some hipsters and they were all drinking American craft beer. I'm pretty sure they were hipsters. They were acting kind of soulless, you know? A bit corporate.

grayson m'razz (wins), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:41 (nine years ago) link

Raccoon Tanuki, are you a hipster? It's ok if you are.

Treeship, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:46 (nine years ago) link

ironically corporate

Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:53 (nine years ago) link

Raccoon Tanuki,

Do you tip?

Season's Greetings,

GhostTunes on my Pono (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 13 October 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link

have you ever considered upgrading to ilx premium for only $9.99 a month?

Treeship, Monday, 13 October 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link

don't tip what is this

why do I hate that thing (excluding imago, marcos) (wins), Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:10 (nine years ago) link

I like that they quote his horribly formed racist tweet w/o comment

♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:29 (nine years ago) link

I've pissed people off in full threads for years to the point some idiots wanted me banned and I never got an ask Moka either. I am also jealous.

Maybe I'll start posting in here whenever I drink alone.

Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:35 (nine years ago) link

Moka, how is your bar doing? Are the musically-named shots selling well?

some kind of terrible IDM with guitars (sleeve), Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:41 (nine years ago) link

Yes, they are! So well in fact that I opened a second bar this year and I'm going for a third next year, just looking for the right location.

besides the common shots, we had 10 specials shots that you guys helped me name.... I had to cut a couple to reduce time/stock. Unfortunately I had to let go 'Barracuda' and 'Tago Mago' which were my favorite in terms of name but the ones that required more time to be made and they weren't that popular.

Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:00 (nine years ago) link

I also get to play my music on both bars (the first is a mixed bag of everything I like without paying attention to genre, some people
might hate it for trendy (the few big mainstream artists I have in that playlist are usually in deep
cuts that rockists always complain about) the second is mainly focused on soul/jazz/blues/funk/rockabilly but we have house djs now and then and an awesome blues/rock band on weekends)

At first few people understood what I was going for with the second bar and thought it lacked the 'boho hipstery" vibe of my first bar... I think they were expecting it to be more focused on rock music when I was thinking more about a place where I can chill while listening to soul music. The place looks gorgeous and cozy so eventually we found an audience and we're now packed in both venues.

The third place will be brazilian inspired. Tropicalia and filled with colors and flowers and all those things.

Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:17 (nine years ago) link

Rockists that come expecting to hear Freebird and all those classic rock songs which I don't intend to listen to for the 2000th time in my life seem dissapointed but we compensate with lots of beautiful women in my bars. Our audience in both is mainly women (which makes it miles better for me, I'd hate to be the only girl at an all dude's bar rocking to ac/dc) and I dont know if it works the same in the US/UK but if the ladies come to your bar the men will follow.

Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:28 (nine years ago) link

I mean dissapointed because as I mentioned earlier they'll approach me asking for something like Red Hot Chili Peppers and then come back after I played something like Walkabout because they want a popular one but I have none.

Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:36 (nine years ago) link

Your bars are in Hawaii, right?

was he stanton on the shoulders of giants and fell?

sarahell, Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:02 (five years ago) link

does stanton = larry appleton? if so, then yes

rob, Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:04 (five years ago) link

sometimes i think of "butt stanton" and giggle to myself

Greta Van Fleek (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:04 (five years ago) link

xp - stanton was the original, of the dirty ass partner and the mysterious Grim Reapah hip hop

Forgotten about Turrican bizarrely choosing this thread, of all threads, to complain about nakh, thus leading many confused ILXors to assume he was RT. This was before he got unbearable too.
