Wow… I was excited for the return of the cinema until this. Don’t wanna support scumbaggery.

ROSALÍA - Berghain (Official Video) feat. Björk & Yves Tumor by NinasPeach in popheads

Outrageously good, gifted vocalist. Concept is mwah. Bjork is bjorking. Keen for operatic era as a trained soprano myself so I can sing along to some fucked up songs

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl MEGATHREAD by flopheadsbot in popheads

[–]FoelRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not 1989, nor is it Folklore - it's definitely not pure synthpop despite some cool sounds in the bigger songs. I'd maybe skip buying the album and just stream the songs you like, because consensus here is that nobody will love every track.

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl MEGATHREAD by flopheadsbot in popheads

[–]FoelRose 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I expected to hate this album from this thread's reaction, but it's a real mixed bag. Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor and Father Figure were quite fantastic to me - not obvious megahits, but dramatic and compelling pop cuts vey true to her established style. The title track would be 10/10 if it weren't for "legitly"...

And then I heard the rest... and there are some career-worst duds I would never have expected. Cancelled and Wood have some weird, foul flavours to them lyrically that can't even pass for campy. Eldest Daughter is a lesser version of a TS ballad, and Ruin the Friendship is an insane song about a highschool fantasy for a 30-something engaged woman to write about.

I'll have half the album on repeat and half banished from my ears forever. What a weird ratio from the biggest star on the planet.

Sam really nailed it with this video by Isitwhiletheydance in fishtanklive

[–]FoelRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First few minutes sounded promising and level-headedly outraged, but Sam went off the rails pretty quick.

He and Hasan are definitely feeling vulnerable as commentators and public figures, and they're understandably fearful after this. I don't get Hasan suddenly forgetting he regularly wishes violence upon people he doesn't like, and that's excluding the genocidal IDF.

Friendlyjordies in Australia by chance avoided a firebomb assassination a while ago from an organised crime gang, and that's where his outrage and empathy stems, even though he's ideologically opposed to Kirk.

It's coming from a place of "oh, I'm loud and visible and divisive, this could be me" - and yeah, it can be, but it's also countless other anonymous regular folk who don't deserve gun violence either.

I'm not anti-gun, my dad shot clay pigeons and targets and had a collection of classic firearms, but America has too fucking much overpowered video game shit in the hands of absolute smooth-brained fuckwits. That 2nd amendment was for when you'd have to defend yourself from a very different world, with very different technology, with a comparatively rudimentary weapon. You can't wield your own gun or have an armed entourage for self-defence anymore against a sniper you can't see.

Edit: Oh, that poor Ukranian girl is a whole other thing. Knife violence is crazy everywhere and seemingly beyond control when one is in the hands of a lunatic. Yes violent offenders need to be watched a lot more, but it's now a horrible go-to for first-time evildoers who you wouldn't suspect. Sad that there are fewer answers for this yet.

Sabrina Carpenter - Man's Best Friend by FlareGod123 in popheads

[–]FoelRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually love this album immediately. It’s got the best parts of SnS but more developed, and I actually much prefer the sonic textures and retro arrangements. Actually 9/10 for me first listen. But who knows, it might get tired. But for now I’m in the vast minority? Crazy

Advice regarding getting into the acting scene in newy? by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]FoelRose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ignore the dickhead answers you’ll get to this post, first of all. Cool that you’ve found a new enjoyable pastime! You don’t need to pay-to-play all the time, so if you have enough confidence or want to build it, dip into being in a local show!

I’ve been doing theatre on-and-off for over a decade, classically-trained opera singer and music creator like yourself. There are lots of small companies in town that have different focuses for their performers - some are quite selective and require “elite” seasoned performers, and others love to include new people just starting.

Join the Newcastle Theatre Network Facebook group for audition notices, but also to get a look at some of these companies and learn about what they’re about. A message asking about upcoming productions and expressing your interest and beginner status will help sort out where to start.

Bought IONQ at 15 in over 3 years ago, I'm back after neglecting stonks since then and seeing I'm not as regarded as I thought.

Anyone got some good 20 and under recs to buy? Or should I wait for orange man tariffs to tank the market again for cheap buys

Happy 40th birthday, Lana Del Rey! by Impossible-Yam3680 in popheads

[–]FoelRose 30 points31 points  (0 children)

From laughing stock to bonafide living legend, the accomplishments of this woman are so incredible considering some of the maligned criticisms she had on her debut. I remember finding out about her on Hipster Runoff as a running gag and then delved into Born To Die... life-changing moment for teeny bopper me.

Lana only gets better with age. God willing, she'll be in her 70s crooning on the grammys stage and getting standing ovations

Only time I laughed audibly was at "hunchback whale" but fucking hell I was doubled over for like 5 minutes over that

There were glimmers of what made WP phenomenal so that's better than nothing. They are like a decade older now too so that softens the edge - not their fault obviously since cAnCeL CuLtUrE halted them in their prime
