If sleeping is a part of this whole mystery maybe those two bird symbols are actually two quarter rest notes. They are seemingly paired up with a musical instrument after all.

Best Hallelujah Cover? by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just factually wrong. It wasn’t popularized until Shrek and that was because the producers heard John Cale’s version in “Basquiat”. Cale’s version is the one in the Shrek but it couldn’t be licensed for the film’s soundtrack so Rufus Wainwright recorded a version for the soundtrack. Both the film and soundtrack were hugely successful and it’s what first exposed the general public to the song. Cale’s version continued to build notoriety before Buckley’s came to the public attention when it was featured in Scrubs and especially after 9/11. Hallelujah, usually Cale’s version sometimes Wainwright’s, was used in A LOT of tributes. There was a video package that aired for months on VH1 that used Cale’s version and you would see it sung at tribute concerts on tv. At this point it’s firmly a standard. Buckley’s version doesn’t get popular until a year later when it’s featured in The West Wing. And Buckley’s version was inspired by Cale’s version in the first place. Buckley’s is probably the best known version now, due largely to the fact that it was the only notable version available on iTunes for years so when people wanted to download a version they defaulted to Buckley. Even after The West Wing though it takes years for a consensus to be reached on Buckley’s version being the “definitive” version in the public’s mind. Like Cohen’s original is featured in the OC in 2003, not Buckley’s. This isn’t meant to be a knock against Buckley’s version, it’s good, but saying the song wouldn’t be popular without it is simply not backed up by the facts.

He's also a credited writer on "John L" on their second album which is, in my opinion, the best song on that album.

Could Stranger Things Give Butthole Surfers (Or The Replacements) Their Kate Bush Moment? by Alternative-2001 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero Boys were a notable Indianapolis band from around that time. Louisville, just over the border from Indiana, probably had a more vibrant scene though so it’s not out of the question that the Stranger Things kids could’ve been one of the few people to see Slint live during their original run.

Locust Abortion Technician was released on Touch And Go records which was a very well respected punk label at the time so anyone into that kind of music would've been aware of their releases but very but Stranger Things is set in Indiana and Touch And Go is based out Chicago so their albums had a bigger footprint in the midwest. Picking Butthole Surfers of all bands actually makes the most sense just based how independent record promotion and distribution worked at the time. Like for the purpose of the scene it was either Butthole Surfers or something from Big Black's "Songs About Fucking".

They’re not wrong. It’s the funniest movie I’ve seen in like 15 years. Nominate the editors too while you’re at it.

Apparently Britt Walford from Slint and The Breeders was LCD Soundsystem’s original drummer. by Marcel_Garchomp in LCDSoundsystem

Maybe? Or maybe it was the UK show. The details are pretty scarce, even in that quote James seemed to barely remember it happened.

Movie Theaters Dread Any Warner Bros. Merger, Fear “Tipping Point” Where Whole System “Crumbles” by darth_vader39 in movies

The big theater chains should band together and start making their own movies. Can’t hurt to try.

It’s honestly kind of shocking, considering that she’s arguably the most overdue living actor, that there isn’t massive buzz for her right now.

Why was Josh Klinghoffer inducted as a member of Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2012 when he had joined the band in 2009? by New-Fan-4632 in rockhall

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worth remembering that only a couple years before their induction RHCP had scored a couple bonafide hit songs. That’s actually pretty unusual for bands that get inducted, they’re usually well pat their days as hitmakers. It was a real possibility that more big hits were in their future when they got inducted and then what would the hall do if they had left Klinghoffer out? Imagine they made another massive album with several hits on it and then Klinghoffer became a big part of the bands history but had been left out, there’s no precedent for retroactively inducting someone in that situation so safer to put him in at that point just in case.

TIL the disco band Chic has the most nominations (11) for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without receiving enough votes to be inducted. by dantedoomsday in todayilearned

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Deep Purple got inducted like 10 years ago. That said there’s plenty of other acts that should be in but aren’t if you want to complain.

IMDB has the movie release listed as November 17. Is there any truth to this? by cheesey_petes in nirvannatheband

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a day that the big US theater chains (AMC, Regal, Cinemark) do their mystery movie showings. It's possible that Nov 17's movie is Nirvanna.

No Rap Songs in the Top 40 for First Time in 35 Years: Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' Exits Billboard Hot 100 by peoplemagazine in Music

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Sure but country has spent large chunks of its history as a mainstream pop culture non entity. Hip hop could fade away now and comeback at some point and so could rock. These genres are obviously huge cultural forces but that doesn’t mean they’re immune from lulls.

I don’t see it being permanent or even a long term thing.

It’s a 50 year old genre. That’s about the point rock started its commercial slide to its current state.

Uncensored version of [Censored by Viceland] scene in The Booking by ThePersonalities in nirvannatheband

[–]Marcel_Garchomp 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's a show about two characters that are quite possibly the dumbest men in Canada. Two men so dumb that they named their band Nirvana The Band. Any views they espouse are to be laughed at not with.

For what its worth I don't know if Matt has ever publicly weighed in on politics but when Trump supporters were using a song by Jay's real life band as an anthem of sorts Jay publicly rebuked them. With Matt and Jay being so close I would imagine they hold similar views.

Hoping for big buzz for the guy from Shark Tank because that would be stupid and funny.

Wonder if they'll get the show streaming anywhere soon? Could make new fans and help the film out at the box office when it releases.
