>in the case of one of the show's most memorable bad guys (the "Trinity Killer," played by a sometimes-naked John Lithgow), Dexter talks to him several times on his cellphone before killing him. Apparently the Miami police don't bother checking up on the phone records when someone disappears.
Dexter used a burner phone when talking to Trinity, same goes for other victims like Tooth Fairy or Travis. In season 4 episode 11, Dexter reacts to ringing and grabs for his phone, but then realizes that his second cell phone is ringing.
>He doesn't walk up to his victims in an alley and stab them in a way that could be mistaken for a random mugging. He prepares a ritualistic "murder room" full of artifacts from the killer's victims, and covers the walls and surfaces with plastic to prevent any DNA evidence from getting anywhere.
That's.... that's the point. You don't want a body, you don't want forensic evidence just laying there to be thoroughly investigated. The only way Dexter could get caught after the fact would be through a murder investigation, which his process eliminates. Plus, he doesn't want to just "stab them in an alley", do you not understand anything about how fucking disturbed this character is?
>Even Dexter's bank is complicit by completely ignoring his charges
Except Dexter keeps all of his assets in cash, as stated by James Doakes in season 2.
>And he has to be storing all of this stuff somewhere when he's not using it.
Ever seen that big black trunk he keeps his kill supplies in? The one that is shown literally every 2-3 episodes?
After this he makes semi-valid points about Brian's murder and plastic disposal, but for the bulk of it he clearly didn't watch the show with much attention to detail whatsoever.
Any genre of music
My personal pick is Rage against the machine 4 studio albums all packed with jams
He finds his composer.
He has to play by ear
The title pretty much sums it all. I would like you to share an underrated rock musicians in the previous century or early 2000s, before 2010.
If I had to ask my own question, it would be Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon fame, it angers me that such an incredible singer-songwriter can be that awful of a person.
The cast, made up of high-profile action stars, were choosing their roles.
Sylvester Stallone went "I want to be Mozart!". Bruce Willis said "Then I'll be Beethoven!" and Jean -Claude Van Damme, "I'll go with Tchaikovsky".
After a moment of silence, Arnold Schwarzenegger stood up, looked at everyone in the room, and said "I'll be Bach".
I think the only sure bet is the Beatles because of how influential they were, with Elvis and Michael Jackson being two good contenders. Maybe John Williams. Maybe Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Nirvana.
EDIT: I see a lot of posts about artists that started their careers in the 2000s and 2010s. I feel compelled to point out that the 20th century ended December 31st, 2000.
EDIT 2: It looks like Kanye West is being mentioned the most. To the naysayers I suggest listening to this gem and reconsider your argument.
EDIT 3: After reading through as many of the comments as I can, it seems to me that the most correct answers are Frank Zappa and Igor Stravinsky. No bias here, I hadn't heard of either of them before this thread.
Okay so I just read the bummer thread about musicians who are terrible people.
Does anyone have stories about musicians they’re pretty sure are good folks?
The guitarist from Mannfred Mann’s Earth Band (most famous song was “Blinded By the Light”) was literally my therapist when I was in high school. Very sweet guy, helped me with my anxiety.
Because he played with a cord

I just read this morning that ZZ Top sold their catalog to some investment firm for fifty million dollars. Likewise, artists such as Springsteen and Bob Dylan have also done the same for even more money.
Why is this? I could have sworn that artists were trying to regain their catalogs - I know Duran Duran and Paul McCartney both made headlines for their lawsuits. Why the change?
I have a very musical family, and grew up playing guitar and bass. As an insecure teenager, when I saw that my dad and brother both had "the ear" and I didn't, I ultimately decided that there was no point in trying to compete with musicians who had this leg up on me, and kind of stopped taking performing seriously. Now as an adult, I've picked it back up as a hobby, and was recently given the opportunity to join a friend on who has found some moderate success on the local scene for a few shows! I'm stoked for the opportunity, but have wasted so much time trying to learn the songs just by hearing them, and ultimately had to resort to reaching out to my dad for help/confirmation that my guesses were right in order to ensure I could learn the songs in time for the shows.
I'm curious if anyone can offer any advice or personal stories about their experience trying to develop this skill if it doesn't come naturally. My current instinct was to plug the songs into a tool that can identify the key of the song, and from there kind of play along to the song with what notes I know fit into that key. It's an extremely imperfect method, so I'm interested in hearing what other people do!
For context, I'm playing bass. I'm decent at it once i now what notes to play (like when I'm playing along with a tab, tutorial, or improving along with a given key signature), but am insecure about the set back of not having the natural "ear"
