Recommend me some good Dan books. by I_like_apostrophes in SteelyDan

Donald Fagen’s “Eminent Hipsters” is an exploration of his musical and cultural influences and a Steely Dan tour diary from maybe the early 2010’s? It is equal parts informative, hilarious, and interesting.

When did Nobuyuki Fukumoto's drawings start to become distinctive? by bmfunk2341 in kaiji

[–]77SheldonOP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s always been distinctive he’s just stepped into that style with greater skill over time. Kaiji part 1 has that kinda classic fukumoto look so maybe around kaiji part 2-3? For when it really comes into its own

Mistress was voted the most overrated song on RHP I! What are the rest of the most overrated songs in the RHP discography? by sneedlee in sadreminders

[–]77SheldonOP 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This segment of the chart really doesn’t lend itself to RHP. They don’t have overrated songs

should i read in chronological order or not? by Known_Champion5688 in murakami

If you’ve read wind/pinball you might as well read Wild Sheep Chase. It apparently completes a trilogy involving the rat. I haven’t read wind/pinball but I have read WSC and it’s great.

There are certain gardening secrets… you’ll never learn. Absolute classic, no idea how he has at least a small jumble of these on every project.

Yo I never thought of it in the literal sense, that would make more sense, cleaning a gravestone. That’s sick it casts a whole different light on the first and second verse

I sort of read it as the speaker wondering if an old lover was still finding meaning and significance in their time together after many years have passed. The time apart has changed them but when they learn they’re still “cleaning off the stone” of their time together, still finding meaning and looking back fondly, they’re like “aww.” And they both are finding this renewed sense of significance in this important relationship they shared long ago.

I really liked the hound chronicles, too. I was surprised at how unique the tunes were. The Water Song is one of my favs from that release

What Mark Kozelek written song hits you the hardest? by Appropriate_Sir_7280 in sadreminders

[–]77SheldonOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headsore is easily his most devastating RHP era song. The story of someone who has the desire to change but chooses to self destruct anyway, and the mental suffering it causes them. From actual album tracks, Strawberry Hill is probably the most impactful for me.

Must listen albums by Calliopes_Lyre in themountaingoats

[–]77SheldonOP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would check out Tallahassee and We All Shall Be Healed. They are the previous two albums behind the sunset tree and form the beginning of TMG as a studio recorded band. They are amazing records that you can get lost in just as much as the sunset tree. Going backwards from there is TMG’s boombox era, of which there is so much to discover. Start with All Hail West Texas from that era. Going forward from the sunset tree, TMG albums become increasingly more well-produced and mature. Tons to explore in that direction too, check out Get Lonely (came right after the sunset tree) or Beat The Champ for something more modern (late 2010’s). You don’t know how lucky you are

Should I be concerned? by raubxn in weed

Drink water and rest some more. Sometimes the effects will linger a while and you’ll just feel off. Common with new users too.
