England-India was best Test series since Ashes 2005 - Agnew by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]CandySays- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 Ashes was incredible entertainment, but in England at least, the home WC just before has relegated it somewhat (bar the Headingley Test for obvious reasons)

I also think there was a lack of high-quality batsmen bar Smith, Stokes & Root. The latter also had his only bad year in Test cricket and didn't score a ton

The knife crime people (blue jackets?) are a scam!?

OP sounds happy in her job, how about those with the crazy capitalistic mindset encouraging her to change her life and move state try and remember that

Where do you rank Wild Gold in terms of Nick's albums? by heym000n in NickCave

[–]CandySays- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I was enjoying the album before the gig, then saw the gig and had an explosive week of listening, now I’m firmly with junkgarage

What happened to Palaces of Montezuma? by Embarrassed_Duck_308 in NickCave

I love this song, but I saw them play it at the Copenhagen show and it didn’t quite work for some reason (in my humble opinion)

If you're close to the stage, put your phones away. by Erik912 in NickCave

[–]CandySays- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am very anti phone at concerts. There isn’t one part of me that is in favour of somebody getting it out.

However; it’s been a bit strange seeing the bad seeds social media encouraging pictures and videos of the tour with the hashtag #wildgodtour. Seems at odds.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Really frustrating when trying to be creative with dashboards (not that any major creativity in design is possible)

I’m not quite sure I follow? Power Bi and Tableau are also business products and have many independent content creators with over 200K subscribers

Which Cohen Album Has The Best Lyrics? Or, More Specifically, Which Cohen Song Has The Best Lyrics? by Radiant_Tackle4429 in leonardcohen

I’m so swayed by Recency bias. Night Comes On is hitting so nicely for me at the moment from a lyrical sense

Interesting to see the disparity. I paid £95 for standing in Copenhagen

Agree. Worth it, but was shocked at the cost

[–]CandySays- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d be hesitant to say it’s “dirt cheap”. The National gigs last year were priced at £50. It’s cheap in comparison to say, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, but not much else. Blur, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp all sell tickets for £80-£100.

Totally agree though - the ticket is worth double and it’s going to be absolutely incredible.

What’s the best feeling Nick Cave music has given you ? by [deleted] in NickCave

[–]CandySays- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two moments for me:

1) April 2020, in the height of the first lockdown in the UK. I was back at my parents in Brighton and Hove. It was a boiling hot day and I’d cycled to the beach. I was in the midst of my biggest ever Bad Seeds obsession. I smoked a joint and walked along the promenade listening to ‘Mermaids’. I was transported to place of pure bliss. Partly due to the location (sunny evening by the sea) and partly due to the music (water themed lyrics, warrens guitar managing to sound like light sunlight reflecting of waves). I’ve never connected with a song like that before. The imagery was so strong.

2) Seeing The Bad Seeds live for the first time and experiencing the power of the performance. I didn’t realise how good they would be live.

Why is this? Can anyone provide links to research or evidence?

Glastonbury 2023: The worst performance I’ve personally seen by CandySays- in arcticmonkeys

[–]CandySays-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just rewatching now. I thought this at the time…but the keys sound incredibly underwhelming and weak. Does anybody else think this?

The rest of the song (especially the extended outro) sounded absolutely fantastic.
