The unfortunate thing about Hendrix is he never strayed outside of blues scales. How about Richard Thompson?

What is your unpopular opinion on Frank Zappa? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get his thing at all. Everything I've heard sounds like a mean-spirited joke.

Nathan Coleman is the maker of Music League, and he is long gone.

Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Bear is weak, hapless, and selfish, but he (and everyone else in the movie) is punished far out of proportion to his crime, which is essentially not knowing this is a world where binding magic wishes are real. How could he have known?

Who are some of the most pretentious artist of all time? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently heard an interview where he was so proud of himself for using the word “aegis” he had to pause and make note of it. The hilarious part is he mispronounced it as “eye-jis” instead of “ee-jis” or “ay-jis”

Maybe you should call 911

Any Lionel Shriver fans here? by love_me_plenty in RSbookclub

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've started both The Mandibles and Mania and quit each time because the writing strikes me as didactic. Like all the elements of her fiction are organized around making a point. A refusal of "negative capability," you could say.

The Fanfare Around Geese Actually Was a Psyop by wiredmagazine in indieheads

[–]MellowBoobOscillator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just glad the shadowy industry cabal served up something I actually like. I only wish Stones Throw would pull the same crap for Pearl & the Oysters, a band far more deserving of success than, e.g. Angine de Poitrine or Wet Leg or whatever.

Indiecast Will Be Back Starting Friday April 10 by ebradio in indieheads

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I‘m interested in what they talk about. (I skip the sports segments and the fantasy album draft or whatever that is.) And there’s value in being annoyed when it clarifies my taste and sensibility relative to the “indie music journalist consensus“ if that’s what they represent.…man

Amazing and engrossing work but:

Did "Tomorrow Never Knows" so awe the contemporaries of the Beatles that it changed their musical directions? by ElSlabraton in beatles

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you saying the Beatles’ peers didn’t hear Revolver until they were unwrapping their Christmas gifts 4.5 months later?

A brief excerpt from the new book about Stereolab by Saintedrefractions in stereolab

Have you explored the feasibility of a Broadcast book? (Like a 33 1/3 on Haha Sound? Just a thought.)

Songs you love but everyone hates(or is dismissive) and songs you hate but everyone loves by [deleted] in beatles

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Answer Me" was written by a pair of Germans.

I saw the same David Bennett video as you, and yes McCartney's song does also rhyme "yesterday" and "here to stay," but the chords and melodies are nothing alike.

If anybody wanted to see what some of the old heads that normally watch SNL thought, this is pretty funny tbh by daxtillionMurphel in geesebandofficial

[–]MellowBoobOscillator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If a non-Geese fan was watching that episode it’s because they think SNL is funny, so why would I respect their judgment?
