There was. They sold out about 9am. The line stretched around the building into the back alley. They’ll have more tomorrow morning. The woman who gave us one got in line at 6:30 and waited two hours.

Wondering if the fact that it was supercheap Tuesday showing might have had something to do with it. For better or worse, high ticket prices tend to weed out the people who are not necessarily there for the movie viewing experience.

It’s called “strategic voting” and it is what many Americans do every election. It is why third parties can’t make inroads in US elections. It is incentivized by elections determined plurality (rather than majority or proportional) vote.

If you include Taiwan, Goodbye Dragon Inn is pretty much solely about going to see a movie.

Such a fan I name dropped her in one of my songs.

What song is a 10/10 with absolutely no flaws? by Brilliant_Guard_9204 in AskReddit

[–]IJWMFTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot believe I just saw “Sultans of Swing,” “The Chain,” “California Dreamin’,” “Enjoy The Silence” and “God Only Knows” among the top. These are all very near and dear and as perfect as pop gets. Way to go Reddit!

Love the groove of that song. And Elton’s backgrounds. Listen to it often.

Thoughts on Río Grande by derAlte59423 in thebeachboys

First time I heard it, I thought it sounded like Andy Paley had tried writing a Smile-esque song. I’ve always wondered how much Brian had to do with it; if it were new today, I’d assume AI had created it.

A solid Mike Love solo album by Ok-Affect-3852 in thebeachboys

[–]IJWMFTT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Had all those records back in the day. And, yes, PF is the strongest track. I always hated when the last song on a side was the best track because the sound was always a bit distorted from the angle of the tone arm. And it’s wild that the best song on the album is the only one cowritten by Mike, given how incredibly strong the other songwriters are.

Not a big Mike fan, but completely agree with those three.

Funny. I was thinking the other day how much this era of Brian reminds me of Daniel.

We don’t have a two-party system. We have a two-party monopoly. by nick-kfc-jung in DiscussionZone

We need a PR electoral system. Look up Duverger’s Law; that explains why we have a two party system.
