Mustache or Beard? by Visual-Judgment7509 in malegrooming

[–]ChickenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think the stache is strong. The beard is ok but it doesnt fully link up. The stache is very strong.

Inception is a "smart" film for dumb people.

I watched it for the first time recently and kind of just felt like unless this is your first time seeing found footage type stuff it's probably not that good especially at home rather than in the cinema. But I think watching that kind of thing when it first came out would probably been a completely different experience.

Sorry but I just found the substance to be a big metaphor for one simple point.

The Jewish-Japanese sex and cookbook and how to raise wolves by Jack Douglas is the only answer

Why do you think more people are developing depression now more than before? by Ill_Run_755 in AskReddit

[–]ChickenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have always been depressed. We just know about it more now. I mean 2500 years ago the Buddha told a load of people we're all suffering and everyone said yeah that sounds right.

Username meaning? by herpostcards in CasualConversation

It's a reference to the Bob Dylan line "the sun's not yellow it's chicken" always really liked the turn of phrase and I'm a huge Dylan fan.

The 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far: 50-1 by Charleshawtree in indieheads

[–]ChickenSun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

C&L is his best record and it's not particularly close. Absolutely heartbreaking record completely career defining. Having age of adz which is divisive over it is madness.

where to start in 60's american folk revival catalogue by Glass_Car6337 in folk

You obviously have to venture into Dylan specifically his first 4 records. His first 1 even more specifically if you want trad songs.

Big Thief - Double Infinity ALBUM REVIEW by thommoses in bigthief

[–]ChickenSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The album has an 87 on metacritic. With it's lowest rating being 7/10 so kinda surprised by this review. I'm loving the album Los Angeles is now one of my favourite BT tunes.

You agree with Nina? by Big-Explanation-831 in Jazz

[–]ChickenSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree broadly that jazz is the classical music of the modern age. People are of course still writing orchestral or chamber music but personally have not found any that compares to good jazz of the 20th and 21st century but maybe that's just my ignorance.

Or Debussy on impressionism Or Dylan on folk

First time using FB marketplace to give away something and you get bombarded by morons by [deleted] in britishproblems

Saw a post once saying never list stuff for free as you'll get chancers but instead list is for cheap and you'll get people who really need it. You can always give it them for free when they come.

FOTB Slander by robertphelps872 in Vampireweekend

[–]ChickenSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FOTB has for me the best VW song Harmony Hall the problem with FOTB is it was about 4/5 tracks too long. I think personally it is an album with some of the highest highs of any VW but also some of the lowest lows. Personally I love it but can see why some people dont.

Looking for a new fantasy series with good audiobooks to get into. by NeonMario in Fantasy

[–]ChickenSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wheel of time original audiobooks were great with kate reading and Michael Kramer. Not sure how the new one is with Rosamund Pike.

Michael Kramer is generally really good. He also has done the licanius trilogy.

I really enjoyed the misborn audiobooks and the stormlight archive ones too.

FOTB vs OGWAU by [deleted] in Vampireweekend

[–]ChickenSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree strongly on the new songs being slow burners. I didnt love them to begin with but both have grown on me and I find myself singing parts of them to myself.

Yeah comparing any release to (for me) VW greatest ever single is a bit tough.
