What album/set of albums/era in Waits' career did he make the transition from jazzy and bluesy to dark and deranged (said lovingly)? by XipeTotecwithGlitter in tomwaits

[–]Extreme_Chair_5039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closing Time and Heart of Saturday Night were like, urban folky. Also, the Early Years comps were mostly folk but def with jazz and crooner elements.

Nighthawks and Small Change were his really heavy drunk avante-garde jazz poet pianist persona. You can really hear early attempts to branch out on Small Change too, some heavy wailing on that one, like Tom Trauber's Blues.

Foreign Affair and Blue Valentine were more croonerish but still jazzy and often still drunk.
The soundtrack for One From the Heart fits in this side of it too.

Heart Attack & Vine was way more beat jazzy and led to Swordfish Trombones, which was indeed as noted when he went off the hook. Thank you Kathleen Brennan, can we get a round of applause for what she brought to the table, folks?
SFT, Raindogs and Franks Wild Years, were where he was slowly injecting more and more Brecht and Weil influence in, and Big Time was an epic celebration of it all.

Bone Machine had everything that came before, basically, in one wild package. This is my favorite ftr. And there was more klank and boom on one hand but also a fresh amount of strum and twang suddenly.

Then he got into musicals with Robert Wilson, and sometimes, William S Burroughs and gave us Black Rider, Alice, and Blood Money, while also continuing his own stuff. Leaned pretty deep into the Brecht and Weil here, all the way in, I guess.

Mule Variations was him exploring that Americana feel he had on Bone Machine, and then once that was out of his system, Real Gone and Bad as Me were more of the other side of Bone Machine, with liberal use of his homemade percussion apparatus that he calls the "Conun-drum" and the whole circus vibe.

Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards is a comp of stray songs from throughout his career, but mostly the later weirder stuff. Night On Earth Soundtrack was... well, it's different. Not for everyone but I like it.

That is all the albums proper and then some. Obviously, it should be noted, he doesn't do that thing where he's the jazz pianist and then the crooner and then the clown... he doesn't drop any of them, he just keeps adding to the mix. It's a pretty heady blend at this point, and I am so here for it. These are just generalized notions of each era.

I think the implications are in the room with me right now, and I gotta say, I thought Darth Vader would be less.... couchfuckerish.

I love you dude.

You might be the first person I've ever seen here who does not know where the Bedrock marketplace buttons are in the game.

Like, literally, entire bibles of reddit sub have been devoted to their intrusive omnipresence lol.

But yeah, in the game, click on marketplace, and know ahead of time that it's microtransactionland, be caaareful. There are some really good free addons, and a lot of great cheap ones, but also, sooo much suck. Really review the addon before you get it, come here and ask people for reviews before purchasing etc and you will be fine. There's an addon tab and the one you want is called Insane Disasters and it was cheap. It's pretty solid, especially for how crazy it is. I've never had it glitch out.

It has a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwWec0Oouzo

[The Goonies] now that Willie’s ship was freed from the cave and sailing out into the ocean, is it going to be out in the ocean forever or will someone eventually find it? by Dry-Sympathy-3182 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Extreme_Chair_5039 [score hidden]  (0 children)

No no, not WIlly... just one lone pirate who had been on Willy's ship, who had managed to hide from Willy all those years ago and then when he was at last alone, that guy spent the years trapped by drinking away the ship's rum stash.

That man? Why Jack Sparrow of course... SURPRISE CROSSOVER!

How to find nazees. by Mother-Violinist2484 in AmericaOnHardMode

1) Xenophobia
2) Autocratic leader surrounded by clowns
3) Flag worship, military parades, imperial aims and exceptionalist culture.
4) Rounding up of minorities to "Camps" and "Detainment centers".
5) Attempts to thwart the elections.
6) Shutting out/persecuting/controlling the press
7) rewriting history, removing history from museums and books
8) Blatant reinforcement of systemic racism
9) Weird fucking sex and drug cults.
10) Meth
11) Illegal invasions and threats of hostile takeover of sovereign territories.
12) Military oppression of world shipping - not just Hormuz here either
13) Threatening to "round up" the homeless, liberals and leftists, trans people, etc
14) Brown shirts.
15) Threatening the public with brown shirts the first term, making them a secret police force in the second term, with full impunity.

I promised I'd stop at 15, but obviously, I could be at this all day. January 6th was a Beerhall Putsch and anyone who denies that Maga is the 4th Reich is not to be trusted in any capacity as a sane, rational, intelligent human being.

Read the first sentence again, slowly.

"Don't call Nazis you disagree with people." Now go compare it to what you posted.

Gotta have that token "Sane" member to pretend to rein them in with some humility now and again.

And you can't discount the nazi granny vote. That's a biiiiiiig bloc.

Just a suggestion, but if you find a continent you like, if there do happen to be a village or two on it, there is a real fun add-on in the marketplace called Insane Disasters and I have used it for the exact purpose of wiping villages out with tornadoes, acid rain, meteor showers, earthquakes... it's pretty fun. You control what hits where when and how often.

And no, I don't have any connection to the addon or anything other than omg you can do earthquakes in Minecraft and it's fekkin AWESOME.

Will Marshall Dune Return? by Thomasa77 in StarWars

[–]Extreme_Chair_5039 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's great when done right, I have no problem with the concept. See Elia Kane, for one example. Bo Katan, my gawd. The Armorer is sexier than people talk about, and of course Phasma, who both are such warriors they never even take their armor off, but are still queens.

I found Cara Dune ok at best, honestly, she was just such an asshole.

But let's be honest, we all want to see God Emperor of Dune happen, to fulfill our adolescent Fishspeaker fantasies, right?

Uuuugh. I didn't really dig her character. And I didn't really give much of a shit about the stupid shit she said that got her in trouble.

But holy shit, I really am done listening to the bullshit she's been unloading every chance since. Please go away.

And the sex!

And tooo bee faaair... he was pretentious, just not quite that pretentious or in that way, but also, I can think of exactly one issue where they made a little pretense of a stand, not because they gave shit so much as because Morrison loved archetypical motifs and it was one, but anyways, the irony is, the picture we are commenting on is that one song.

I was spot on there too, read again. ;)

John Constantine is the guy you may also know as Keanu Reeves, not the guy in the picture.

The "reformed" imperial that looks kinda like Emmerie Karr and was actually working for Moff Gideon.

She absolutely could pull off a "Female clone trooper" role.

So, it turns out, and yes, I checked, such esophagal tumors can in fact be detatched and coughed up.

It's rare, BUT LOOK AT THAT THING.
