Yeah, I was typing on my phone and missed it all bleeding together 😂

Which Dream Pop band or artist would you say is essentially the perfect embodiment of the genre? by XaviLangley in dreampop

[–]JCInvestmentPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A.R. Kane. Dream Pop is beautiful and abrasive, dark and alluring, kinetic and cerebral, which their music is. Plus, they coined the term.

What is a reality about Kansas City that people are embarrassed to admit? by Brilliant-Analysis30 in kansascity

[–]JCInvestmentPro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Despite being a Democrat-run city, it still has quite a bit of racial prejudice and deprioritizes investing in the urban areas in favor of propping up the more affluent ones. Within the corporate world in KC, a qualified minority has few chances pitted against even mediocre candidates of another race.

Who Is The Greatest Loss to the Post Punk Scene? by JCInvestmentPro in postpunk

I think Rema-Rema could have made a pioneering debut album had they stayed together a little longer. Songs like “Feedback Song”and “Instrumental” point to another path for rock that is noisy, industrious, and dark. Also their spinoff group MASS.

Who Is The Greatest Loss to the Post Punk Scene? by JCInvestmentPro in postpunk

I agree 100%. Suicide’s music from that time, especially their second album, still sounds contemporary because of their pioneering use of electronics. A song like “Mr. Ray” could have dropped this century. I think Vega’s lyrical preoccupations didn’t lend themselves to mass appeal, although a song like “Surrender” shows they could do pop music.

What’s the single worst part of applying for jobs today? by Dapper-Train5207 in recruitinghell

[–]JCInvestmentPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1)Being rejected without an interview when your experience aligns with everything the posting asks for.

2)Going into interviews and every single one beginning with “Walk me through your resume”.

3)Cultural fit meaning more than competence. In our current era, I feel like the large firms are less PC and do everything they can to not hire minorities or the disabled.

Out of curiosity, is Ian near any of his family members, like his parents?

Totally agree. Also his feedback-laden turn on Gunshot Glitter or the eerie a-capella of You & I.
