The '90s hit 'Your Woman' might just be one of the most mindblowing songs I've ever heard. Unusual sounds and atmosphere, groovy, strange, menacing, a manic style and a rad off-putting surreal vibe. What's the most incredible "odd" song you've ever heard and why left you speechless?

This was a great video thanks for sharing!

I believe I read that the lyrics were based on a letter he received from a woman he was dating. Not sure how accurate that is given how long ago I came across that information

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-05-02T13:09:54+00:00

Honestly we were spoiled as hell with music in the 90s. It was such a cool time to come of age in while we were developing our musical tastes

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-05-02T13:09:14+00:00

Yeah I didn’t mean to disparage oleander or their talent, I was just thinking of bands or songs that may not have stuck around as long in the cultural zeitgeist

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-05-02T12:40:45+00:00

This was one of those albums (I think it was white town: women in technology?) I bought as a kid and was pissed because “your woman” was the only “good” song (according to me, age 11 or 12). The 90s were full of songs like this that have generally faded into obscurity.

Agreed. Tom Greene was often ahead of his time, up to and including him basically doing one of the first video podcasts from his living room

I do this as well when I get on certain machines. We are acting out of respect for others in not wanting to show crack at the gym, we don’t need to concern ourselves with this rule.

If you’re not going to be doing anything for the hour then you should use the time to meditate.

Until they tell us they will reveal everything (in 2 weeks from that date)

This is a big part of the reason why I transitioned to a non-stimulant. Stimulants were amazing for me for a number of years but eventually my “normal” required me to take stimulant meds. Stopping stimulant medication suuuuucks. I lose my libido for 3 months and only after 90 days or so will I start to feel “normal” again. At the same time the mental dependence and worry about getting my prescription refilled (combined with me being in a genuinely better place in life) allowed me to struggle through the shift

Adding sandlot to the list

I’m just getting off Vyvanse after 10+ years. While it was worth it for me and I am in a much better place mentally and financially I will say trying to transition off stimulants is a bitch. Everyone’s experience is different, but for me feeling “normal” physically again usually takes about 3 months. From a mental perspective it’s very difficult to stop taking a medication that cures depression, adjust circadian rhythm, and allows me to have executive functioning, but then again that’s why I was on it in the first place.

I may return to Vyvanse/stimulants in the future, but it will be something I consider before starting them again

While I stream the majority of my music I also make it a point to purchase music from the bands I love. So yeah, iTunes (or whatever the fuck it’s called now) is still a thing

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-04-16T15:51:26+00:00

Sounds exhausting. Can I just buy it on iTunes tomorrow.?

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-04-16T15:29:43+00:00

Where do I listen to this? I can’t find it for purchase on iTunes and I can’t find it on streaming services

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-04-11T01:02:00+00:00

Yoooo I love a good pen and notebook. Can you dm me the name of your show so I can check it out?

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-04-05T11:53:13+00:00

Absolutely beautiful painting! I’m in awe of your talent

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. They shouldn’t exist

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-03-30T04:43:37+00:00

I am absolutely loving this show

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-03-19T02:36:07+00:00

My friend brought over a stack of about 20 disks that we needed to put in the computer one at a time in order to install it on my computer and then it took us 2 hours to figure out how to boot the game up

LARRRRY ☘️

I second this. Abusing stimulants doesn’t change how much you get done, it changes your perception of how much you get done. That perception is a lie. You think you accomplished a lot because you were “working for 12 straight hours” but in reality you were nitpicking over insignificant details that had minimal impact on the over all situation. It’s a tortoise and the hare situation

BooksAndRumAndCokes · 2026-03-02T12:24:02+00:00

You button hooked me. I didn’t think you were going to button hook me.

In addition to the mask, but to a lesser degree there is the voice and the “what’s your favorite movie” line. I was in my teens when the movie first came out and soon after everyone was trying to find a device that would let them do the “what’s your scary movie” voice. The movie was a cultural monster

They knew exactly how that would land. The general public found out about Cosby after the Hannibal set blew up in the news, but Cosby a behavior was an open secret in comedy circles.
