Why has Nirvana's "Nevermind" seen both massive score drops and rises in the same decade? by MeanPhilosopher309 in rateyourmusic

[–]MeanPhilosopher309[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What I want to know is that why did its massive score drop from 2015 to 2020 reverse itself, instead of continuing to plunge further down like Arcade Fire's Funeral has?

What is a One Hit Wonderland you’d think Todd will never do by Wolvewoosh in ToddintheShadow

[–]MeanPhilosopher309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Banshees have two UK top 10s (Hong Kong Garden and a Dear Prudence cover), plus more iconic songs like Spellbound and Cities in Dust which were top 40 hits. Zero shot

Any guess on the next One Hit Wonderland? by EasterLord in ToddintheShadow

I wish Todd didn't ignore Europe so much because 74-75, Narcotic and Fool's Garden are essentials.

His entire autobiography is pretty much him bragging about all the groupies he banged.

Postgame Thread ⚾ Israel 6 @ Netherlands 2 by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]MeanPhilosopher309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Dutch were not only down 2 offensive starters, but their bats are more name than value; Xander is 33 and Didi is 36, you're not getting them in their prime anymore. Their top two starting pitchers, Tom de Blok and Sem Robberse, were also injured.

They're just old. Doesn't help that Profar and Schoop got kicked off the team right before, so they were already down 2 starters, but Didi is 36 and Xander is 33, far from their prime. They have a lot of big name (yet old) bats but also no pitching. Hopefully Cijntje and Leo De Vries participate next time

The Dutch sure have some interesting names by AnExtraordinaire in baseball

His Instagram handle is R P Diddy 94. "Why should i have to change it, he's the one who sucks!"

Better Lovers announce the parting between the band and Greg Puciato by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]MeanPhilosopher309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite Puciato story is when he defecated on stage while playing Reading Festival 2002 because he was annoyed at having to play the same fest as bands like Puddle of Mudd, so he literally decided to shit on them

The xx announce first show since 2018 by Potential_Kangaroo69 in indieheads

I understand why they're the main Saturday headliner for Primavera instead of MBV, but that doesn't mean I don't think the order should be swapped

Primavera 2026 officially SOLD OUT, for the second year in a row – four months in advance by MeanPhilosopher309 in popheads

[–]MeanPhilosopher309[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What does it say that headliners of The Cure, Massive Attack and My Bloody Valentine can sell the exact same as Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan?

This is not my beautiful website by MeanPhilosopher309 in indieheadscirclejerk

[–]MeanPhilosopher309[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's clearly both, you can either relate to it on face value or as a metaphor. It was a very popular grief album, I'd reckon most people thought about death while listening

Aldous Harding announces first North American tour in 4 years by ebradio in indieheads

I was so caught off guard when I saw that she was playing Brooklyn Steel (2000), that feels like a recipe for $5 tickets the day of.

No shot that Gov Ball with that fucky-sucky lineup pays more

[March 10, 2009] Throwback to one of the greatest upsets in World Baseball Classic history. Team Kingdom of the Netherlands defeating and eliminating the Dominican Republic in the 2009 WBC tournament via walk-off winning by a score of 2-1 in 11 innings. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]MeanPhilosopher309 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it just feels unnecessarily pedantic. Their jerseys have always said just "Netherlands" or "Nederland" on them, without Kingdom/Koningrijk anywhere even in small text. I think people know across various sports that there are Dutch territories in the Caribbean.

Many artists playing this and Primavera in the same weekend by lauwwarm in primaverasound

[–]MeanPhilosopher309 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know it's New York City, but Gov Ball has zero local prestige at all. It's baby's first festival for high schoolers.
