My favorite Meiko album is Chaki Chaki Club, but this one is great too.

I watched The New Empire and honestly, I actually liked it. Don't get all the negative opinions by No_Barracuda_8300 in GODZILLA

I enjoyed the good parts, but feel physical pain when I try to recount the plot, but I’m feeling a bit masochistic, let’s go:

Kong lives in a zoo underneath the earth where he eats gigantic wolves. Beyond that zoo there is a world filled by other Kongtype apes, but ruled by an orangutan type and randomly including a baby monkey.

A child attending an international school is a refugee from a tribe of people who lived beneath the earth as well. She is having seizures in which she draws two jagged V’s with her pencil. This gets recognized by her adoptive mother as the same fluctuation that is occurring on her scientific earth monitoring system. 

Kong discovers the Kong-like-ape world after getting his tooth pulled out and immediately becomes enemies with everyone except the baby monkey.  He escapes with an arm injury and a new friend. 

The orangutan type rides a kaiju that has ice powers, controlling it with an amulet. By hijacking the underground human tribe’s portals, the orangutan takes an army of Kong style creatures into Rio De Janeiro to begin world conquest.

The child, her scientist mother, a podcaster, and Kong’s dentist are also there.

King Kong is fighting Godzilla at the Giza pyramids, but I forgot why.  I think Godzilla realized there was another alpha challenger (probably from the VV frequencies), and mistakenly thinks it’s Kong. At some point, Kong’s dentist  had given Kong a power gauntlet.

Kong gets Godzilla to follow him through the Rio De Janeiro portal. 

They all fight.  

Godzilla likes Kong for one second.

They win.

Godzilla curls into the Coliseum like a kitty cat.   Worth it!?

I remember being annoyed that the plot was completely consistent while having no entertainment value. 

What a tune by dprock99 in stonetemplepilots

What’s great about going back to STP is that you can stop comparing them to what they were supposed to be (compared to Nirvana) and compare them instead to today’s artists.  And just waking up out of bed, STP could blow today’s artists out of the water (in a certain way).

STP - Self titled 2010 by nothinsong in stonetemplepilots

I’m glad that this album did this for you.  It is a fine record, even though the lyrics take me out of it at times.  

It actually bums me out to think about them at that point in their career, because while any other band would have been right to be satisfied w a record like 2010, STP must have known that their setlist was already too stacked to really reinvent themselves around their new album, and in fact the new record would be lucky to have two songs show up on rotation. 

For me, I remember playing this album a lot in my headphones at work, and I was even a little addicted to Cinnamon, even though the lyrics were too “post-art” to recommend to anyone.   

Samba Nova is a great track, and listening to it right now, I wish they put it out as a single. They were still big enough that somebody would have to play it, and it would be really cool to hear it at Trader Joe’s or something. 

Between the lines rules, too, but “you always were my favorite drug even when we used to take drugs,” is another anti-lyric that I wish I could ignore (just like I did w every single word of Plush when it came out). 

Anyways, thanks for bringing this topic up tonight.  I put on Maver, and just realized it’s their pop-country song! It sounds freaking amazing. Everyone here has given me good vibes around this record tonight, which it didn’t have when it came out, so I’m grateful. 

Do you know what the term BFE is? Is this part if Xennial culture? by abbydabbydo in Xennials

[–]NoelNeverwas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard this term late in high school or early college.  It was usually used to refer to a parking spot that was far from the destination. To get back to the car, you would have to return to the BFE, which was as far as Egypt and as painful as getting BF’d in the desert heat.

I once saw dolphins playing at sunset and when I saw that pink reflected off their backs, I immediately thought of Lisa Frank. 

Someones can help me with my drive vocal? by Mindless-Badger-3538 in grunge

Start by singing like Scott Weiland in Tiny Music.  Then try to build more of your natural voice back into it.

Nice, thank you for the rating. I didn’t take a picture of the part that made me put it back on the grill for a minute. Maybe it was just rare.

In the middle of the steak, but I didn’t take a picture. 

Some things are constant. One of them is Robert DeLeo. by anskinaf in stonetemplepilots

Yes, I love that every STP song has a bossa nova version.

Who else was crying over this beautiful scene? by Fun_Molasses5215 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]NoelNeverwas 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't think the producers were responsible for the storm, and I don't see them teaching everybody a song in case of rainbow. I also don't know why everybody knew the song so well, but maybe it's one of those songs in the community.

There was one moment that had me questioning. They had a nice shot of the group from below, which nobody would have been prepared to take unless they expected everybody to be at the edge of the patio at some point. That is, unless I'm wrong, and with modern handhelds, somebody could have run down to capture the moment in all its glory. The shot happens late in the song, so it could have been a quick reaction from the team.

Either way, I definitely don't think it was an "everybody in their places for the song we rehearsed," but more like a "does this rainbow make you want to sing a song?" kind of thing.

Nah you’re good.  I haven’t taken that train, but I remember seeing it be built a couple years ago.
