My top 5 Pet Shop Boys tracks

1. It's a Sin

mainscream said:top 5 Pet Shop Boys tracks

1. It's a sin

I was just looking over Rolling Stone's list again and felt the need to jump in and say I'd definitely swap out Rent for It's a sin...

Honestly, it kind of creeps me out when other people have the exact same favorite tracks as I do. That doesn't usually happen to me...

Here are the top 4 bands that I personally find totally overrated, even though everyone else seems to love them:

1. Against Me
2. Dinosaur Jr
3. Magnetic Lane
4. Sleater-Kinney

😈 😁

And here is my number one most overrated moment from Eurovision:

1. Russia's Kedžo🙂

On a brighter note, here are my top 5 favorite performers or songs from the contest:

1. High Heels😍 Just my subjective take, you know...
2. Lordi🙂
3. Lithuania🎉
4. Canada (it was such an eclectic mix! 😍 )
5. United Kingdom (if we’re being honest and just looking at the dancers and their outfits 🙂 )

1. Domino Dancing
2. Being Boring
3. It's a Sin
4. Left to My Own Devices
5. Rent

🙂

Man, seriously... that's even better... 😎

analogharbor442 said:Wait, where on earth is National?

Oh man, I knew I’d forgotten something! But honestly, National is kind of mid anyway.🥳

Oh, man, yeah, Harrigan actually let them play at Madison Square Garden one night just to get the crowd absolutely riled up... 🤣 😈

thanks! thanks!


and btw—it’s spelled "change" 😉

The decision to switch up my avatar came from a bit of an overdose—if you can call it that—of the "Peanuts Treasury". It reminded me how much I love the characters Charles M. Schulz created and how (sadly) much I relate to Charlie Brown...

Since we are dealing with lists here, let's go in order:

10. Lucy on handling emotional issues:

Lucy: I'm worried about a little boy who sits in front of me at school…
He cries every day... This afternoon I tried to help him… I whacked him on the arm
Charlie: You Whacked him on the arm?!
Lucy: I think it helped… There's nothing like a little physical pain to take your mind off your emotional problems..

9. Charlie on solving problems (in general):

Linus: If you have some problem in your life, do you believe you should try to solve it right away or think about it for awhile?
Charlie: Oh, think about it… By all means… I believe you should think about it for awhile…
Linus: To give yourself time to do the right thing about the problem?
Charlie: No, to give it time to go away!

8. Sally on aging:

Sally: I worry about getting old…
Linus: That's nothing to worry about.
Sally: Of course, it's something to worry about…
Who wants to be nine?!

7. Charlie on romantic woes:

Charlie: I'd give anything to be able to talk with that little red-haired girl…
The amazing thing is that i know I'm The sort of person she'd like! I mean I'm not rough or crude or anything. I'm not the greatest person who ever lived, of course, but after all, who is? I'm just a nice sort of guy who…
Who never gets to meet little red-haired girls!

6. Snoopy on mortality:

Snoopy: Good grief! Trapped in a doghouse by an icicle!
I'll bet if i make the slightest move it'll crash down and kill me!
I’m simply not ready—far too young, far too kind—to be heading out just yet.
I’m simply far too much myself to die just yet!

5. Lucy on people:

Lucy: I’m curious about your take on why people even bother lying, Charlie Brown…
So, you’re actually suggesting our entire purpose on this planet is just to act as a catalyst for someone else's happiness? It's a lovely sentiment—really—but perhaps a bit much to ask of us all.
Charlie: Precisely that!
Lucy: What’s the point of all these others being listed here?

Schroeder on buying records:

Schroeder: Investing in vinyl always lifts my spirits—whenever I feel low, i buy som Records i was sol depressed today i bought Mendelssohn's violin concerto.
i buy som Records i was sol depressed today i bought Mendelssohn's violin concerto, Brahms' second piano concerto and Handel's ode for St. Cecilia's day…
Lucy: Seriously—how deep does this depression go?

3. Charlie on selfishness:

Patty: You’re acting just as selfish as the rest of them, Charlie Brown!
Spare me the sermonizing—the endless whining about how everyone’s out for themselves. Honestly, you aren't any different from the rest of us.
Charlie: I am, too!
I’m feeling a massive wave of guilt over this—honestly, it's weighing on me.

2. Lucy on life:

Charlie: When it feels like the world is moving at full speed while you’re just standing still—how do you catch up?
Lucy: Look at that horizon—see how massive the world really is? There’s enough space out there for everyone, isn't there? Tell me, have you ever laid eyes on any other worlds?
Charlie: No.
Lucy: For all we know, this is the only reality out there... isn't it?
Charlie: Right—precisely.
Lucy: You aren't telling me there aren't any worlds left for us to inhabit... right?
Charlie: Right—exactly.
Lucy: You were actually meant for this life... weren't you?
Charlie: Understood.
Lucy: FINE—STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE THEN!
Five cents, if you please...

...and of course, the absolute best—Charlie's take on life:

Linus: What’s your ultimate goal in life, Charlie Brown... Is it just to find some happiness?
Charlie: Oh boy...
I certainly wasn't expecting that—not by a long shot.
It’s a simple enough request—I just don't want to be unhappy.

You really have to love them.

Russian ketchup. 🙂

You really think anyone’s gonna be picking a winner—let alone deciding which song takes the crown—when we're still dealing with the absolute chaos of what happens if places like Ingushetia and Chechnya finally break off, or if Georgia ends up splitting into Georgia and Abrazia? It's all just too much uncertainty, I guess. Everything's such a mess... maybe there won't even be a contest left by then. 😁

anch_io said:you just have to love them

Honestly, one of my absolute favorites is that bit where someone tries to explain to Lucy that the Earth actually orbits the sun, and she just lets out this huge, disappointed sigh and goes, "Wait, I thought everything revolved around me"...

anch_io said:you gotta love them

For sure.
Though, honestly, it took me forever to get there. It wasn't until I really dove into the Peanuts Treasury a few years back that things finally just... clicked. Everything made sense then...

My top 3 favorites:

1. Lucy 😳
2. That tree that eats dragons
3. Woodstock

2. dinosaur jr
3. Magnetic Lane
4. Sleater-Kinney

I'm with you on this one.

Stop undermining everything we build 🙂 because you're just a bunch of fifth columnists.

I can forgive just about anything, except for s-k 😠

Out of all four bands, I’ve only really listened to dinosaur, and even then, not much... so I probably shouldn't be weighing in on this.
