Häh? Ich bin vermutlich im falschen Reddit Subforum gelandet, bei mir erzählt Tom nur irgendwas über Käse den er Heute schon gegessen hat und das er crunchy Erdnussbutter bevorzugt 🤔


Huh? I guess I've ended up in the wrong Reddit subforum; Tom's just talking about cheese he's already eaten today and that he prefers crunchy peanut butter.

People asking the important questions...

[Csar]

Can't find my login... Could anybody ask ORA what she sings on EoD?

that he prefers crunchy peanut butter.

Well, good to know I have something in common with Tom

For me, it's proof that he at last has some flaws.

What? You prefer smooth peanut butter?

[Stefan]

If I want something crunchy I eat peanuts

Not the most interesting question but he answered mine

Tom is clearly having a tonne of fun with this project. Really lovely to see.

Didn't see much in the responses that gives anything away or hints at anything fun for the future, other than that confirmation that The Chems is only on holiday right now. Not sure what I was expecting - I guess some more Galileo questions? Nice to have another opportunity to connect with them though!

For me, it's proof that he at last has some flaws.

This is one of the craziest things I've ever read on this forum. Why would you want to eat something that is, at most, 50% as good as it is designed to be? Baffling.

I'm getting Schnappatmung!

Sad, because Tom probably doesn't know you need smooth peanut butter to achieve The Peanut Butter Solution.

could bring back the good ole days!

I'm often eating it straight from the jar. Also great for cooking.

You asked what I wanted to ask, so thanks!

He did say in that AMA he might do a rig rundown of the new slimmed down setup, so that would be cool to see soon. He's got a virtual recreation of his traditional analog mixer setup? 

[Stefan]

Oh yeah I really hope he'll do this rig rundown.

I'm gonna salvage a memory while I can still remember it...

In this AMA, Aurora mentioned Leonard Cohen as being a musical influence, who I was lucky enough to catch from afar at Coachella 2009. During his set, I had met up with Whirlygirl and her husband (Stash).

Two key memories happened during this time:

1. Stash donned a taxidermy rattlesnake cowboy hat which coincidentally matched a pyrotechnic serpentine art installation at Coachella.

2. @whirlygirl , spotted Tom walking towards the back end of Leonard Cohen. Watching him cut through the polo grounds crowd was like spotting Sasquatch. 

The next day, several of us forum members got to see a legendary DJ set. I think that was the first time I met @inchemwetrust, too!

[Stefan]

That is a lovely memory, thanks for sharing!

That is too funny, we must've been on the same memory wavelength as I was just recalling that memory to some friends a few days ago! Stash's rattlesnake hat sure did get a few looks and comments throughout the night haha!

When Tom was spotted, I felt so awkward and didn't want to pester him like some weird fangirl. I met up with Tom and Ed later that evening and Tom asked me why not, and laughed said I was silly for not coming up at that moment during Leonard Cohen to say hello 😂 

Anyway, that was quite the weekend and was such an amazing dj set they did. When they dropped the fresh unknown Escape Velocity (aka the Last Song) of their set... it was like heaven. So free. The space was electric and wild, there was so much joy and hope and love in our little forum huddle and throughout that tent. I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling.
