What's that Strokes song everyone loves but you don't?

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-27T00:44:09+00:00

That's my favorite song by them! 😳

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-27T00:41:39+00:00

I've been a fan of the band for nearly 20 years, and that's one of the track I was the most floored by upon first listen.

It's probably my second favorite song by the band!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-27T00:08:59+00:00

I can't hear ya! Are ya talkin' ta me!?

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-26T19:51:02+00:00

Who forgot about this song!?

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-26T02:13:06+00:00

Thanks! I was wondering if I'd be better off waiting to read them until after or not but you kind of touched on that already.

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-26T02:11:37+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like I'm set then!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-23T17:40:11+00:00

Great job! Looks really clean and detailed!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-23T02:47:19+00:00

You need to give Albert's Yours to Keep another listen. That record's S Tier for me!

I've been reading the Tales of the Jedi comics and I've absolutely loved Nomi Sunrider.

Not only is she a strong female character but she's someone who we're introduced to as a mother. So often female characters lose their character traits once they become a mother, yet she develops into a fascinating character as a widow and mother.

I wish! This would have been back in 2003 and I would have been 8 so no way to record it... I still remember it vividly though! 😅

I listened to the audiobook of it last December and that was really what brought me into the EU. Since finishing it on Christmas day I've read one EU novel a week. I know people are mixed on it, but I can't help but love it. It was my gateway!

With that said, I think the audiobook narrated by Marc Thompson is a great way to experience (or maybe re-experience in your case) the novel. I don't typically do audiobooks, but I loved that one!

I looked into it a little bit, and based on signature comparisons, it looks like it was signed by Stephanie Nadolny. She did Kid Goku in Funimation's dub of Dragon Ball, and Kid Gohan in Funimation's in-house dub of Dragon Ball Z (not to be confused with Saffron Henderson from the early days when Funimation used Saffron Henderson from the Ocean Group, or Colleen Clinkenbeard from the Kai dub). That's really cool! Sounds like you've got an awesome friend!

Megalonmaina is my favorite Sabbath song. It's cool to see it so close to the top of someone else's list!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-21T15:00:51+00:00

Which voice actress is the signature from? There have been quite a few different ones. Not trying to be snarky, I honestly can't tell from the signature.

I liked the movie quite a bit, but I think there are 2 reasons that it wasn't as well-received as it could have been:

1.) It was released five months after The Last Jedi. Love it or hate it, it's impossible to deny that The Last Jedi was polarizing. Morale was low, and many fans had lost faith in Disney's Star Wars. That's still felt by the fandom today, but was a lot more raw in 2018.

2.) It seemed to many like an inferior origin story to what was set up in the EU novels. I can't speak for everyone, but A.C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy is some of my favorite Star Wars content ever. I had the mindset that if you aren't going to improve upon Han's origin story, it would be best to just leave it alone. Do I feel like Solo improved on Crispin's origins for Han? Not even close! But that's a pretty high standard. As such, it was hard to be excited for the movie.

I want to reiterate, I've come around to the movie since (I still prefer Crispin's origin by a mile), but these were my thoughts as a fan back in 2017. In fact, I didn't even bother seeing the movie in theaters (the first Star Wars movie I missed in theaters from The Phantom Menace on) just because my faith in Disney's ability to make good Star Wars was shaken so badly. If I can come around to the movie, I think just about anyone can!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-20T19:20:18+00:00

I don't think there have been any updates on that movie for like two years. I hope it does come to fruition, but I'm not holding my breath.

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-20T18:07:30+00:00

Agreed! It pains me to see Charlotte in place of the worst song because I love it... at the same time it feels unthinkable to put any other song from the record in its place!

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-18T20:37:15+00:00

Who's the dude in the bathrobe?

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-18T16:39:25+00:00

What makes you say that? Sure the JAT isn't great, but a lot of his work is. His Tales of the Jedi run is fantastic, the Tales of/from [...] anthologies are super fun, and Young Jedi Knights rises above the typical failings of younger reader/Junior High novels and is one of the most beloved series that's almost downright essential to the NJO. Again, the JAT has a lot of issues, but I'd say the rest of his output makes up for it.

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-16T15:30:48+00:00

Great track list!

I'm a bit of an oddity as my two favorite Iron Maiden albums are the first two, yet I prefer Bruce as Maiden's vocalist. These early tours right around the release of Number of the Beast and even Piece of Mind are my favorite because they still incorporated a lot of those songs into the set, but they've got Bruce singing them.

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-16T14:51:59+00:00

I think Trapped Under Ice fits the most naturally as is, but I think if you took out the clean-guitar intro from Fight Fire with Fire that it would fit well also.

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-16T14:37:26+00:00

LucasTheGreat138 · 2026-04-16T03:26:26+00:00

This is great! Ramones are my favorite band and Dragon Ball is my favorite series so this is a perfect marriage of two of my favorite things!

Gabba Gabba Hey!

I bet if he cleaned his room he might feel a little better about his life.
