🙂

hehe!

Man, a user on Reddit just reminded me that my old imaginary band used to be called The Redcoats.

Here’s a top five list of my best fake band names:

5. Britney Swords (industrial/noise)
4. The Redcoats (freak folk)
3. Nervous Hypotenuses (post-punk/disco punk)
2. Das Fahrrad (lo-fi indie)
1. We Love Sneakerheads (sunshine pop/indie vibes)

It’s actually pretty wild, since it should be reminding me of being a teenager... I guess I just keep mixing him up with Ari Pekka Nikola. My bad, total sin on my part.
But honestly, it could be way worse since I keep confusing Jesus Lizard, Cowboy Junkies, and Judas Priest! 😁

Dyslexia strikes again!

Adam Moore reminds me of being a kid 😁

Hey, how can I set up that scrobbler and all that? Like, I've got it on Last.fm, but I'm totally lost on how to actually configure it, you know?

stormyviper11 said:It’s definitely doable... 😉

Fair point, maybe it is possible, but I’ve honestly never needed that skill once in my life. Boom!

The law! I’m loving you guys more and more 😁

Walter Foster52 said:yo what if someone cuts off your Lyndon B. Johnson?? 🙂

haha, well first you'd probably need a microscope 😬
then there wouldn't be any orgasms left, real or fake... I guess. 🙂

heheheh, I knew there were still some Ski Jump enthusiasts out there. And Funaki is a total legend, no doubt about it.

Carol Jackson45 said:I've honestly never heard anyone being bitchy just because of hair removal before.😕

Well, true, but so many girls actually hate getting it done... especially one of my girlfriends who goes for waxing... ugh, so painful! But hey, smooth skin is totally worth it! mmmmmmmm! 😍

Walter Foster52 said:it's because she's faking it☕

don't ask me how I know.. I heard it through the grapevine😛

honestly, it's way harder to fake an orgasm when you're a guy...

Lucky you... my stomach is absolutely trashed... damn college dining hall food! 😠 😠 😠

stormyviper11 said:Attacking Proud Mary for any reason, other than just my own taste or complaining about how much it gets played, feels like an attack on Rock and Roll itself.

Why though? You aren't attacking the whole genre, just one specific track. That's it. I mean, I love that song, but I can't listen to it every single time. Plus, I'm not really into CCR, even though I absolutely adore The Kinks. At the end of the day, personal taste is the only way you can judge or defend music, which basically means every opinion shared here is super subjective. If someone actually tried to objectively bash a song (which nobody here has actually done to Proud Mary), they'd have to set objective parameters—which would just mean using numbers. By that logic, you'd judge a band's quality based on single sales or their influence, etc.
Which is, of course, total garbage.

Besides, I wouldn't call CCR the literal essence of Rock and Roll; they're just one of the most exposed bands from a certain slice of the genre. Personally, it doesn't click for me because it feels too muddy, Mississippi-soaked, and Southern, but hey, good for everyone else who loves them. Just because I don't vibe with CCR doesn't make me a snob or a poser or whatever.

And as for that idea that honesty is the most important thing in Rock and Roll? We could argue about that forever. I actually think it's the opposite—Rock and Roll has always tried to turn regular people into larger-than-life heroes, distorting them so much that some people actually had mental breakdowns and all that crap... but yeah, we could go down that rabbit hole for ages.

btw I'd say Stairway to Heaven is easily the third best Zeppelin track ever. For me, Tangerine takes the top spot, followed by When The Levee Breaks.

stormyviper11 said:That's what got me thinking about the original question... I mean, even though The Beverly Hills Hotel isn't exactly a favorite or a least favorite of mine, I can see how the constant radio play, the pretentiousness, and all that symbolism could trigger some negative vibes. It makes sense why people would get annoyed by it. (Though, honestly, anyone who doesn't dig Witchy Woman by the Eagles clearly just lacks taste.)

But man, CCR? Seriously? That’s basically the soul of Rock and Roll—just a solid three-minute, three-chord banger. Sure, Proud Mary gets played way too much at random events (and Have You Ever Seen the Rain is catching up fast), but I don't see how the song itself should cause any bad feelings. Whether it's a masterpiece or just okay is debatable, but there's nothing fake or over-the-top about it. To me, attacking Proud Mary for any reason other than personal taste or playing it too often feels like an attack on Rock and Roll itself. Along with The Kinks, CCR defines everything good about the genre. I'd go as far as to say if someone loves punk, American music, or any simple guitar-driven stuff but hates CCR, they haven't actually "gotten" the music. They're probably just listening to be snobby rather than because they actually enjoy it.

Man, you're full of it.

Ice Ice Cube rules! Bodycount my ass!

That bugs me too. Honestly though, I thought the movie was actually pretty good...

21 Grams. Such a killer movie. It’s definitely not for everyone though, especially if you aren't a fan of intense violence.

Go ahead, nobody's stopping you! 😁
The ratings stay! No cheating with those jumps! 🙂

Alright fine... here are the scores, enjoy them! 😁

Anyway, has anyone played that old PC game? I think it was called Ski Jump? Honestly, better than anything on the Wii, best sports sim ever!

You’ve gotta either absolutely loathe or completely obsess over music—to the point where you'd get into a fistfight over it. Passion is everything; I am so done with this politically correct crap. I hate Hotel California more than anything else on this planet!!! Screw the Eagles, they can take their drugged-up bullshit and shove it! Aaaaaargh!

Oh yeah, heard it again today...
