I shouldn't have looked at music subreddits. A lot of people aren't as snotty on there as I thought they'd be. But some of these topics asked are so damn juicy. Like whose voice makes you want to commit violence. Or bands that don't get on.
Also decided to listen to Space on the way back. The band, the slightly eccentric Liverpudlian lot. Guys. I love the album Spiders. It's unhinged. It stood out when I grew up. But... Uh. That album cover. I can't look at my phone if it plays. That was.. a choice.
Warning: this is classic sad prog. As one comment put it: 'all the great progsters have a knack for making sadness memorable and wanting more of that same sound' I like sad melancholic prog and this song is very indicative of that, off a really solid album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKjh...
LRP: Excuse me while I laugh sarcastically at the ignorance of this guy. Pratchett knew what he was saying. Stancil doesn't. No big surprise.
Also, I cannot fathom how, in 2007, Blackfield II sounds so much like it was about Covid. The last track, End of the World, is so 2020 coded.
Probably one of the catchiest songs from its album. There's a lot going on, bit like New Radicals. On a few listens, i realised it sounds so very British. 'Plastic scouser', 'dob him in' 'grass on him' XD www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ_Q...
Random video from Mansun's Six came up on my feed. I'm now listening to this album in full and another moment of regret I didn't listen to them much earlier. Also. That album cover. Remember CDs and how you'd look at a cover and buy it based on that? Yeah, I'd have bought this.
Hmmm. I kinda guessed that he was a bit cynical but damn. More thoughts but in thread. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDiY...
I always like these videos but this one... Well, it was very obvious Muse were heavily inspired by Queen. But I might have to listen to the Queen back catalogue again to hear more of it. Also not surprised that it was John Lydon who had no issue with them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UONA...
Me at karaoke: No... I won't embarass myself but lets see if there's any prog rock, bet you anything there's not much... -sees Trains by Porcupine Tree- Me: Fuck it, I'll embarrass myself singing this!
I'd sadly agree with this. Fantano's beef with Halsey notwithstanding, he is unfortunately part of the trend to judge music before you listen. Hell, I've been guilty of that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkOF...
Watching a video on underrated metal bands and... I'm sorry. I did snigger. Why is the classic metal picture the band standing around, looking so serious? I can bet anything they are not as serious as the pictures paint them to be.
Okay youtube, you have got to stop giving me ideas. (I actually had this one alraedy for a Scorched Isle prequel of sorts. Something about a radio playing a song in a ghostly city just gets the imagination going.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvzR...
Video to show the range of motion. I has talons!
Holy cow. I det art block for nearly a year and then Confuzzled rolls around and I crank out this monster. Our room sign for Confuzzled this year. Theme is musicals so did Little Shop of Horrors. I recreated the movie poster and tried to emulate the matte style with markers.
A very Moorcock Christmas! (I have nearly all the Discworld books, I need another author to collect obsessively) Something Breakfast In The Ruins might appreciate.
From @hiddenbritain.bsky.social I /love/ anything to do with the Radiophonic Workshop so this replica was perfect. Now I can imagine making sounds on all manner of objects to create loops for sci fi features.
I madeSkydream a cake as my gift. Went a bit extra on the messiness and the gamble paid off. It's nom!
Well you get the sound at least. I can see how this would be relaxing.
And Port Talbot at night. I tried. But it captures how the water looks so different at night. Looks deadlier if you don't know what you're doing. I was naturally cautious but it was still beautiful.
Got closer, took this video. Extremely relaxing to watch but I am not setting foot closer XD
Port Talbot beach. Pic 1: yesterday, low tide and could see the beach. Pic 2: today, high tide, no beach. Pic 3: Strong waves, splashing against the rocks. Was very relaxing to observe and just listen.
Pic 5: What looks like a former taxi place, also closed. Pic 6: The back of the building
Next to our hotel in Port Talbot, a former restaurant, all boarded up. Love buildings like this. Pic 1: the first corner of the building. Pic 2: the back, all secured and looking a little overgrown Pic 3: The next corner. Pic 4: An outer part with a balcony.
My pride getup this year. I'm the most fabulous of my work group :p
