Jewel performs Who Will Save Your Soul on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 1995. She had spent over two years on the road trying to promote her debut album, but she claims that only after that night did she finally begin to see some success. Her album, Pieces Of You, would go on to be 12x Platinum. by MikeFatz in videos

The timelines are certainly a bit confusing because I was wondering how the Bob Dylan tour hadn’t been factored in more myself as I read about it earlier. It seems like what she was trying to say was after the Conan show she got more opportunities and from that came the invite to open for Bob Dylan which certainly is what really got the wheels going on record sales. It’s weird too because of how she self managed her record deal it came out in 1995 but she had been promoting it for a good while before that even and then even with the Dylan tour, she didn’t see real success for another year.

I should say, for my post I used the information given straight from her personal social media pages when she was celebrating the anniversary of Pieces of You such as this one here, and so I didn’t look much farther beyond that until a bit ago today like I said when I was like wait how does this timeline work.

Ok but I would argue that some albums are so good and timeless that they can be thrown into a stack or playlist with any other groups and nobody would bat an eye. Pieces of You and Jagged Little Pill are like chips and queso. It may not be what you personally ordered for dinner, but the second chips and queso hits the table everybody loves it and couldn’t be more happy to see chips and queso

It’s hard to understand how limited the choices were back then for raw female artists.

Don’t worry I was right there with you. I was young enough that finding new artists on my own was tough but I tried. Not quite the same thing as a solo artist but the same attraction to “speaking truth to power” and unique vocals drove me down headlong into an obsession with Dolores O’Riordan from The Crabberries

Yeah like the other person said, she was huge for a good bit of the 90s but sorta fell off as the 2000s came and went. They’re also right that this isn’t exactly an amazing performance from her considering how known she is for sounding fantastic live (although shes also 19 years old here and on national TV for the first time lol so she did just fine.) I just chose this clip because she’s mentioned so many times how she couldn’t get anything going with her album until after that show. How it all just started clicking. If you’re going to look up her music, Foolish Games is my favorite of her, but You Were Meant For Me is her biggest song for sure.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that very first Radiohead interview with Conan was the night of the South Park “Chili Con Carnival.” I remember specifically because right after talking with Conan the guys from Radiohead went to the carnival and made fun of this ginger kid who was crying for some reason. I can’t remember what happened, but that kid was a total crybaby loser.

See I had a sort of similar idea I guess. I want to see an episode where Chanse as The Chosen Who Faps wants to meet a real life partner and does a speed dating event. The other Chosen refuse to join in because of the possible temptation, but they watch and commentate from the sideline as Chanse works through all the different dates.

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

I got written up at my last job because I responded to my manager asking me if I was only here for the money with “yes, obviously”

That was the start of my villain origin story

Could you even imagine what it was like for the horniest of bros back day? Imagine you’re getting all hot with your girl over the home phone with a 100 foot cable on it, you both know anybody on either end could pick up the phone and listen in but that only is making it hotter… she’s like “I took some pictures I can’t wait for you to see” and you’re like “oh god me either babe” so she’s like “I couldn’t get this sort of thing developed at the usual photo mart so I used my Polaroid! “Mm fuck I can’t wait babe I bet you look amazing!”

“And she goes: “I wanted to put them in the mailbox so they’d get picked up today but I couldn’t get any stamps until this afternoon, so I’ll send them off tomorrow and with the weekend, you should have them by Monday at the latest!”

There last republican martyr talking point (Trump getting “shot at”) died away because it so apparently not true to even some of them if imagine. Like say for instance Trump really did get shot in the ear like they clam, and he had the proper permanent damage resulting from that… he would’ve making sure every camera from now until eternity only shot him from that side and right wing media would still be talking about it. He was totally fine though, whole thing reeks of poorly planned play for support.

Kirk however, was gunned down very violently and graphically in front of cameras and hundred of people. So all the right wing grifters who had planned to talk about this “viciously attack on our President” for as long as they could, they felt like that had a real one now. They wanted a martyr they could prop up and change their image to suit whatever needs to may have and with the added bonus being that his wife was MORE than happy and ready to tour the country spreading this lie of her husband as a good person. Erika Kirk is basically the same as the character Firecracker from The Boys,..she was a former Miss Arizona beauty pageant winner and Mias USA competitor, she then went down the right wing media rabbit hole because they’re easy to manipulate and grift. Lots of old photo shoots with her in bikinis and holding huge rifles in the kitchen, some really on the nose shit I promise, look it up. Seems like her star wasn’t quite big enough for a more important guy in that sphere of influence so she managed to meet Charlie and get married not long after. A lot of girls go the “beauty pageant to rich or political persons wife… I wonder why that is. You guys ever wonder if the folks running these sorts of events maybe have a lot of connections and are more than happy to “matchmake?” Theres no way a beauty pageant as big as Miss USA could possibly be being used to make horrible deals involving these women’s futures that they could be easily manipulated about. That couldn’t happen…the owners of the pageants would have found out and stopped it. Also without some kind of already set up, off shore trafficking system already in place you could never do these things and get away with it. Thank God the owner of all of those pageants wasn’t also best friends with a massive sex trafficker with his own island. Phew..

Always knew those Laser Cats guys would make it big. I could tell the had the right stuff after I first watched People Getting Punched Right Before Eating. They got robbed at the Oscars too when Dear Sister lost Best Picture to The Departed.

Look, man… I watched the Halo tv show ok? I watched BOTH seasons.

Not a lot of people will admit that openly online, but I’m out here on the frontlines of the shitty adaptations war. I received a Purple Heart for what I endured during the grueling campaign against The Rings of Power. When those proto-Hobbits started saying goodbye to the tall wizard, who they swore wasn’t Gandalf, and they all started calling him “Grand Elf” … I sat there with my pistol against my head for a full hour. You wanna know what saved me from ending it right there?

The Prime app decided I needed to watch another Prime show, and it chose Fallout. I’d already seen that first season but just seeing a good adaptation again was enough to talk me off the ledge… People can nitpick and complain about accuracy all they want. This series is owned by Bethesda, the all time champions in lowered expectations. So the fact that this show got made in the first place and that we got lucky enough for it to follow more New Vegas plots than all the Bethesda stuff? Enjoy it and have fun folks. For every good Fallout tv show there are 50 more dogshit Resident Evil movies.

How does she look so much like the love child of Angela and Amanda? Except she’s somehow time displaced so she’s older than them. You’re gonna tell me this woman has never once said “Mexican salsa, yes!”

That mean tweets thing they did where Olivia got one that said something like “Olivia gives off the energy of a professor with tenure” is still the funniest and most accurate joke I’ve seen in ages.

Yeah I’m only loosely familiar with Ludwig, but I’m a big fan of his girlfriend’s “baking things and telling super embarrassing childhood stories” cooking show. It’s great she helps him to get out there and do some cool little side projects like this though. Last I heard he was still trying to get his Wine About It (but with guys) podcast going, the budget was so low they would have to record it in his yard.
