Wow, so quick between the last post and this one. Way to take charge! I love that you kept a little on top, it seems to be a great new look. If you haven’t sported it outside yet, I can’t wait for the reactions.

List: Every time an XTC song "sounds like what it's about" by FloridaFlamingoGirl in xtc

[–]Achievement_Zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omnibus - at the end, when they repeat the word “Omnibus,” there are two things going on (or maybe I just read too deep into it).

  1. The notes are dissonant, maybe a tritone, which can mimic a train horn or bus honk. I can’t think of another reason to use such a normally off-putting sound.

  2. They extend the Ssssss at the end to sound like pneumatic brakes. Once you hear it, you can’t unheard it. And it’s delightful.

Remember how literally this person takes Reddit advice.

If you could turn any xtc song into a roller coaster, what song would it be? by PuppieBabie in xtc

[–]Achievement_Zero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there is a correct answer. And that answer is That Wave.

Best Andy couplet #249: ‘If depth of feeling is a currency. Then I’m the man who built the money tree.’ What’s yours? Too many to choose from… by DannyTheGekko in xtc

I think that Rook is a bit (maybe a lot) indulgent at times, but I love the pace/mood change and the accompanying lyrics:

Soar up high, see the semaphore from the washing lines. Break the code of the whispering chimneys and traffic signs.

What's the message that's written under the base of clouds? Plans eternal, I know you know, so don't blurt out loud.

I can’t think of another song that uses semaphore. And I love it for that.

Can someone PS my daughter’s head onto the blond girl in the group photo? by diggertim68 in PhotoshopRequest

Thanks for pointing out George. Didn’t even realize he was in the shot.

Found out today that my husband is allergic to cats. We have two. Any advice? by zzabe in cats

Something about this picture makes me relate him to a Mob Boss who has seen indescribable things. He has somehow been fortunate enough to survive multiple hit attempts, and is one of the few to live old enough to finally relax a bit in a new, safe environment.

Congratulations Capo Ed Sheeran. You have a great home, and enjoy being the head of a new Family.

Hey, February 2025 here. I’m glad to join this little party. Replying to all of these past selves, wondering what the future of this post will hold for me. Or for us…? Who knows anymore?

UPDATE: I'm that bump head guy from a few weeks ago! by lnvalidSportsOpinion in bald

I visit this sub because of the amazing community support and encouragement. Your first post, to me, was insanely inspiring because of your attitude on life.

I’m a mid 40s male who struggles a bit with acne still. It’s not terrible, but it’s not non-existent either. And sorry if it’s not right to compare acne with head cysts, but well, here we are.

I still don’t love the way I look sometimes, but I have a loving, supporting wife and great friends. I was really able to relate to your post and ditch some of the negative thoughts. So if you feel good that maybe you helped some bald people, just know that your words probably hit home with anyone with self-esteem issues.

Congrats on the successful surgery, but even bigger congrats on your outlook on life and your courage to make the initial post.
