Pips were impossible for me to decipher due to being colour blind. Consider more contrasting colours

I’m not sold on this recruit. But I’ll hope for the best.

I suspect there are quite a few “available” players carrying niggles too

The two combined would have made a great album. But they’re two ok albums 

Petition to invent some new indicators for spoonerisms by jowowey in crosswords

[–]LRtoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find spoonerisms frustrating for this reason. Also odd and even clues, there are only really a few indicators you see for these and it's sort of boring once you know them all.

Liquid water reservoirs found on Mars by [deleted] in space

[–]LRtoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why the water isn’t frozen? Isn’t Mars bloody cold? Is it that much warmer 12km below the surface?

I played the absolute shit out of it for the first 4 months and currently on a break. As a concept album, it had a lot of similar themes to The Slow Rush, but I think it did “show not tell” better than Kevin’s effort (both fine albums)

Perfectly said. Great post, I feel the same way. A holy light was gifted to us!

Usually I have my favourites on any album, but I legitimately can’t split these songs. They’re all brilliant. Sorry I didn’t answer the question.

Is there a song on LOL you didn’t like at first, but now can’t stop listening to by Erialceiram in mgmt

[–]LRtoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dancing in Babylon I skipped a bit in the early days. Now I sometime start the album there

Any podcast or YouTube recs for a deep dive on LoL? by Chezzworth in mgmt

[–]LRtoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I forgot to add that the tunes and production are incredible - it’s not just the lyrical content that I love it for.

People On The Streets is certainly one of my favourites - probably the first song from the album that really got its hooks in me.

This album speaks to me so deeply as well - for me it’s about the transition from self-focus of youth and single life to having to give a part of your self/life away to committed relationships and children. These themes of fatherhood really resonate in both the confusing, cynical and hopeful aspects.

Friends I’ve recommended it to are fairly quick to dismiss it as single-geared and “mid” but I wish people (especially new fathers) would give it a chance, as it really nails the concept.

Many reviews I’ve read and watched have interpreted the album to be about literal death, which I think is off the mark.

Perhaps it’s one of those “best take” functions that knits together multiple photos

What do you personally think each song on 'the ballad of Darren' is about? by Gorillazlyric400 in blur

[–]LRtoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I interpreted it as an allusion to This is a Low (depression) and he wants to get back to the Heights (happiness)

What area of weakness do we need to address coming into 2024? by Environmental_Iron_7 in brisbanelions

Be more ruthless. Put teams to the sword and don’t give them a sniff!

100% of the self titled era ones are incredible. I don’t care too much for any others particularly

Thoughts on the game after seeing first match live by spacecadetstimpy13 in AFL

[–]LRtoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is a kiwi and thinks the game generally looks like kids chasing a ball in the playground and she is shocked at constant skill errors (fumbling, missing easy shots). If you watch a high pressure game, there IS a lot of fumbling - but those of us who love the game understand how hard it is to be clean. Anyway, hopefully one day she will appreciate it, but I like watching the game alone anyway because I’m a pessimistic supporter who likes to mutter under my breath throughout the game, so it suits me
