Get out on time to the Fatboy Slim show, starting at 9pm. And he's already DJing in the garden, out front of the venue 😎🎧

I have regular bad movie nights with my mates and lemme tell ya nothing-and I truly mean NOTHING-trains you to see how certain elements of movies work by watching people fuck these up spectacularly

Tarantino has done and said so much bad stuff and it is so funny if this is what makes him a pariah

Because too many people let him get away with using the Cass Review to take away puberty blockers.

me destroying the crumb legacy: "actually he's nice"

My fella’s old band had 25 million streams on Spotify this year, which should translate to everyone in our house sleeping on a pile of ermine coats, but what it really translates to makes no discernible material difference in anyone’s lives. That’s how I feel about Spotify wrapped.

Does anyone know where the term "turning your brain off" comes from? OED doesn't have an entry for it. Google Ngram suggests it became popular in the 1960s, but that's hardly conclusive. Nearly all of my students use it to describe their media consumption and I'd love to know more about its history.

Sorry I stopped posting it’s just that I hate this website

The music appreciation community is a lot like living in a big apartment block together. It gets annoying when people are always slamming The Doors.

This would be a great youtube series

Check out the way out-there fashion of 1976. This looks like it was photographed last week.

I feel like my talents and their relevance to my daily life are inversely proportional to how much schooling I've taken seriously toward them 🤔 Menial physical work, simple DIY, photography and modelling, music history; v.s. physics and biology, painting and drawing, political history, architecture.

What are some more modern ('80s onwards) albums where the studio effort and expense thereof really creates the 'wow factor' of the whole work?

Waterboys doing AI visuals for album art is especially worrying, bc they're such a neo-Boomerish, respect for the craft, tastefully modernised trad outfit. So, for them to be skimping on production values in that direction feels like one of us is misreading the room for that kind of selling point...

I'm aware of the anthropic principle. But sometimes it *feels* like everyone's got their solidarity sorted, in rooms I'm not in – is why the toil is so useless here, despite my personal resilience. When it's something I need to fix, or get out to the world, everyone's back to pulling up the ladder.

This is the most tedious banter and it's starting to turn me off Die Hard

Just saw someone talking about two books they point out they haven't read, and that's an irritating position to dunk from...

Yes. Legit-sounding book clubs (with web pages and Etsy merch shops and all) say they want to do your book, waste your time with 2 rounds of planning emails, then say they need your headshot, bio, and the “standard $212 administrative fee” or whatever. Scam scam scammity scam scam.

You can just… help people. You don’t need permission.

“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

"Bartender? Whereat?"

One thing occurs to me, applying for all these random jobs – the zone is completely flooded w/ places I'm learning about by making the application. Nice idea, but I'd love to make coffee in a place where I already enjoy the coffee – all of that kind of role. How do you prioritise the familiar there?

People need to find things to do where I can help out in the world, without having money, or a regular schedule, and without it being a bit of a con. And yet, nothing along the right lines ever seems to come up 🤷

I would simply never apologize for party rockin'

I was actually worshipping Shrimp Jesus way before AI started sullying the good crusteity's holy name 😤🦐🙌

If watching a ton of haunted house movies have taught me anything, it's that ghosts are fucking nowhere without a battery operated children's toy to activate in the middle of the night. Want to get rid of a poltergeist? Throw those fucking toys away

Why did Chris Stuckmann spend over a minute of a five minute review shilling for a gambling app? I have no issues with sponsorship and even if it's not a monetary system this crosses a fucking line no?

People turn off replies for the most random things 🤔

Insane Clown Posse don't have an album from 2001. They have two albums, as members of two separate supergroups. I feel like I will need to get to these.

Last days to submit!

How do spambots do the thing where a like or follow from them doesn't appear in your notifications?

Horrorcore rap scene, loosely defined, 2001 thread:

Listening to the other X-Raided release of 2001. Really good fun. Only problems are that a) the number of tracks I've heard on other projects is most of the tracklist + b) I'm listening to a pretty low quality rendition of its tracks in audio terms here, which may not have been the case elsewhere...

if you're at home, and you bought the soy sauce, you're allowed to take a tiny little sip of soy sauce. it's your soy sauce, no one is allowed to be mad at you

I could see the argument for doing new edits of Anthology for Disney+ — the doc can be a little longwinded, even in its shorter cut—but there’s no excuse for this.

getting into standup because I have a humiliation kink

On our allotted daily walk, we found an off-licence that stocked a bunch of local brews. Me and my brother's had a lil listening party for his progress on the album recording for Going South.

music usually has sound

To be completely fair to younger people, I suffer from this myself now. On any given day, I'm given a ton of recommendations and can feel overwhelmed. I see people bragging on here about how much they read and listen to, but I'm not sure how they find the time unless they live very solitary lives.

Okay, here we go. Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients. NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer. You know what to do 👇✍️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...
