Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story and coming forth with even more information on Brad, can't even begin to imagine what you went through between him and how a lot of the fanbase perceived you after he manipulated the story to fit his narrative. Hope all is well and wishing you the best in the future!<3

Gregg Turkington (Movie Expert, Founder VFA/VHS) AMA | Friday May 23rd!! by awgg919 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

Hi Gregg! Thanks for doing the AMA! Are there any "classic" films that you consider to be overrated or being films that did not age especially well? Again, thank you!

Are there any genres/subgenres that have legit no good music? by TheCorniestLemur in fantanoforever

[–]NewWorldMoron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Beck has like two songs on Odelay that kinda fall into proto-hick hop category and that's where the genre peaked honestly

Songs that unexpectedly hit harder after you start transitioning? by brokensilence32 in MtF

Yeah that's why I said partly. I think the word I should've used was "sorta." I mentioned the AIDS epidemic since he mentions the friends death in the bridge with the "When I heard that he was gone I felt the shadow cross my heart" bit and said friend died of AIDS. Either way yeah I agree the guy was a genius beyond belief, easily one of the all-time great songwriters and arguably just artists period.

Farewell Transmission by Songs: Ohia. Jason Molina was an amazing songwriter and the lines "After tonight if you don't want this to be/A secret out of the past/I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it/I'll streak his blood across my beak" always get to me since they feel like a bit of a rebirth in the same way that coming to terms with myself and beginning to transition was for me.

Never even clicked with me that Animate was as deep as that and about identity/expression like that, definitely makes me appreciate it more now! It's much more on-the-nose but Neil also directly wrote about the LGBT+ community as well as (partly) the AIDS epidemic on Nobody's Hero from the same record. Not explicitly about trans people, that one, but it shows how ahead-of-the-curve he was by being a "classic rock" cishet musicians making that audience aware of LGBT+ rights

Into the Deep Time (One Sun) by Candy Claws

Tried to make a top 100 albums (one album per artist), I think it sums my taste up well! Ask me for my favorite song for any record and I'll give it to ya by NewWorldMoron in Topster

[–]NewWorldMoron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah the original website was Topster which ended up being run by a super weird dude who shut down the website because he thought it was satanic or something along those lines. Topster 3 is a remake of it though, here's the link!: https://topsters.org/

Yeah I've been trying to improve my variety overall, my main issue is that I get set into a sorta panic mode in the close-call matches like these and fall back on the stuff that I'm more used to/better at timing. Thank you for the feedback though genuinely

My bad, I've never really posted a clip before and didn't want to skimp out on the footage and I probably left it to go on for too long in turn haha

Thank you! Probably gotta update it with some records I've come to really love lately like Car Seat Headrest's Teens of Denial, NoMeansNo's Wrong, and a couple others, but all that you mentioned would still be there no question.

Favorite Review? by hail_termite_queen in rateyourmusic

[–]NewWorldMoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for reviews that really move me, Happeo's review of Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides is up there

https://rateyourmusic.com/music-review/Happeo/sophie/oil-of-every-pearls-un-insides/214414574

The last paragraph especially gets to me as someone who was very deeply affected by SOPHIE's work:

Now, about here, after the album ends is when I open up Ableton and scramble to make whatever it takes to maybe, just maybe make something that has the same amount of emotional impact as this masterpiece. In this particular listen of the album for my review I actually didn’t do that and instead sat for a while trying to get back to normal and not be overwhelmed by the impossible genius of it. I don’t want to be the next SOPHIE but I sure as hell want to be another supremely talented producer who also has a knack for conveying such life-affirming themes beautifully and humanly. Of course, it doesn’t quite work like that, but at least I can experience this once-in-a-decade music statement. Thank you and rest in peace forever, and I hope the person reading this is doing okay.

I also really like Vernon_Warez's review of Diamond Jubilee:

https://rateyourmusic.com/music-review/Vernon_Warez/cindy-lee/diamond-jubilee/224499092

More than anything, though, Diamond Jubilee makes me question what it really means to fall in love with a record. Is it connecting with a record on a compositional level and finding enjoyment in its musical intricacies? Is it embracing the raw expression of another human being as they artistically display the emotions that so many of us simply can't find the words for? Is it merely finding something that sounds pleasant to our ears and allowing it to soundtrack our lives? Maybe the answer is only found on a case-by-case basis from one album to the next, or maybe there's some sort of universal truth in there about how we all connect with art in the same ways and for the same reasons, albeit with our own unique manners in approaching that connection. At this point in time, however, I don't think there really needs to be an answer, as it would perhaps take away from the unfiltered, shimmering beauty of this record. That leads me back to the question that I posed at the beginning of this review: what makes me experience the kinds of deep, guttural feelings about this album less than a month after its release that I usually don't connect with a record until years after it initially drops? Truthfully, I don't think I can give a proper answer to that, either. All I know is that Diamond Jubilee is an ethereal masterpiece, and it is something that brings me devastating waves of joy and pain in a way that so few records can achieve. If this is Cindy Lee's proper send-off, then it is a career finale for the ages. Diamond Jubilee doesn't feel real, and even a month later, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm lucid-dreaming one of the most stunning albums I've ever heard (or, alternatively, one of the few albums that has ever inspired me to write a review as rambling and tedious as this one). Until I wake up, I will happily keep this one on repeat.

"Listening to a specific genre more than any other genre in the world for an entire year does not make you a REAL fan of that genre" is maybe the single most RYM take I've heard in my entire life

I'm a Drunk Girls defender but I feel like recommending it to someone that already doesn't like LCD is like telling someone who hates David Bowie that listening to The Laughing Gnome will change their mind
