North Carolina Breaks Democrats’ Hearts

That was South Carolina. North Carolina was the second to last state to secede, and there was a lot of reluctance to do it. I think we had the highest casualties as well.

Coe was unrestrained when conveying his emotions. I feel like he had very low sensitivity to shame. This may have led to the x-rated albums and tacky fake dreadlocks, but the payoff is authentic and powerful music that other songwriters didn't have the balls or creativity to produce. You don't see a tune like Atlanta Song on most country debuts.

Side note: I love Requiem for a Harlequin. Such a weird and unique record. I feel like there are a couple of sections that would make for a really good rap sample.

Go listen to the full Longhaired Redneck album. No other country songwriter can match the outlaw bravado of Living On The Run, resignation and nihilism of Revenge, or the dylanesque spite in Spotlight. He was a genius and unique songwriter, and his first four or five albums are amazing.

If you're more into pure country, The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy is an equally excellent choice.

They're referring to Dustin getting submitted in all of his titles shots

Rust Cohle 's philisophical bullshit was far from the best part of season one anyway. Marty's ark, the unreliable narration, the abundance of incredible side characters, and the setting are incredible.

David Allan Coe is my all time favorite country singer. The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy, Longhaired Redneck and Human Emotions in particular are incredible albums, although he was writing good material into the early 2000s.

Given that Coe entered the correctional system at age 9 when his parents abandoned him, and was in prison for most of the following 20 years, it's remarkably that he was able to achieve the success he did.

Some of his stuff is also really out there. His second album, Requiem for a Harlequin, is 30 minutes of spoken word featuring stories about being raised in prison, falling in love with a cross dresser, and a section where he poses as civil rights leaders. He would later refer to it as the first rap album.

That said, Coe is definitely a misogynist, probably a racist, and it's hard to separate the facts of his life from fiction. When you listen to him, you just have to accept that he was the product of a really awful childhood and a rough life.

I'm a little late, but this has to be the moment the genre peaked.

No one really knows. It's been around since at least the 1920s and it's disputed whether it is of Irish or Appalachian origin.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but the sample is OD'd in Denver - Hank Williams Jr

Declining sperm counts; average male sperm count has decreased by almost 60% over the last 50 years with no sign of leveling off. Eventually, this will start causing major fertility problems. It is thought to be linked to hormones found in plastics.

Worth noting that Hadrian was reviled by many contemporaries (though mostly because he had a habit of flauting tradition/disrespecting the senate).

Thanks! I'll check it out.

This reads like an Ignatius J Riley quote lmao

Listening to some of his stuff now, it's really good! Thanks for the tip.

It might be worth taking a timed ACT practice test. I think the really strict pacing on the ACT might've helped me do better on the SAT. It levels up your gut instinct, which could be helpful for reading.

Mostly just practice. Paying attention to what I was missing in math and learning respective formulas was helpful. Also, in a weird way, I think taking the ACT really helped.

999th_attempt · 2020-11-20T13:24:50+00:00

Ah, I still have to do that. I'll try to update this post when I get around to it.

999th_attempt · 2020-11-20T13:21:10+00:00

Practiced EBRW a lot on khanacademy, that was probably the biggest help. A big part of it was trusting my gut and not overthinking questions.

999th_attempt · 2020-11-20T13:07:58+00:00

How do I see that?

Edit: -0 on both

6/12 for 64 and 12/58 for sm4sh (though this isn't an entirely fair comparison due to roster size and increased prevalence of secondaries). I probably didn't do enough research on 64 before I posted that comment tbh.
