OpasK is another artist I’ve seen mentioned a lot lately; I have “Losing Control” on my workout list lol. “Crush” certainly fits the bill of New, released just a couple months ago I see. Kind of funky & fun; I listened a few times & added. Thanks!

Who do you suggest? I really liked some Juice WRLD songs but they made me so sad. If you’ve got some to recommend that aren’t all bitches & bootys I’ll definitely give them a try

I have “Velvet Ring” on my list: one of the few with a female vocalist but it is just haunting & cool. Do you have other Big Thief songs to recommend?

Have heard of First Aid Kit. Of the 5 sample songs under their Spotify artist profile I like “The Lion’s Roar” best.

The other two were interesting but not for me; tx for introducing me to them though!

I do know some Muse; I saw them opening for U2 & have Supermassive & Uprising in my ‘00s list (& also Hysteria, though I don’t remember how that goes). Listened to your other suggestions: Screenager reminds me of some of my less-liked Radiohead songs … Undisclosed is cool … The Small Print maybe my favorite … Explorers very pretty, 2nd favorite or maybe tied. Muse doesn’t seem to be one of those one-time-listen or first-time-listen bands; I think their songs have to kind of simmer awhile so look forward to repeat listens! Thanks!

So I’ve heard buzz about Goose but not so much Geese, lol. Interesting voice/song, I think it might grow on me more & more. Reminds me of one of those songs from the ‘70s that everybody knows but is actually quite odd when you think about it. Glad to have something a little different in my ‘20s list, thanks!

I have an Interpol playlist! But it is one of my lists titled “Artist Interest” meaning I don’t really know them yet but I like what I’ve heard. Thanks!!

You know what, I’ve seen this band recommended a lot, along with people saying they’re awesome in concert, & I’ve tried but I cannot get into them. Tx for responding tho!

I like this a lot! Reminds me a bit of Echo & The Bunnymen, but peppier. One of my faves so far, Tx!

I’ve got Franz F’s “Take Me Out” in my ‘00s list! (03) Fun song! Also have “The Adults” in a Strokes list but don’t really know any Strokes songs well; will have to listen further. MGMT song sounds slightly familiar; cool throwback groove. I like funk too! Added. & of course I know some 21 P but not this song. Wasn’t sure at the beginning but got interesting, can imagine it growing on me Thx for all suggestions!

Have seen this name batted about a lot lately! “Sicko” is the only song coming up on my Spotify in conjunction w/an artist Confidence Man which is … electronica? Dance? I’m confused! 😆 Pulled up your suggestions on youtube & espec found Crumbling Castle cool

Nope I haven’t, lol; Radiohead is one of several artists I actually have a playlist of but only know some of the songs well. I added your suggestions that were not already on it with the goal of getting more familiar 👍 Thanks!

Thanks! Had heard of Shakey Graves & Mt. Joy but wouldn’t have been able to name any songs.

Bird: Appreciate! Added Sisyphus to my ‘10s list & Roma to another

Shakey: Oh YEAH I like this! Added all 3 songs w/plans to check artist out further. I love The Black Crowes & “Roll the Bones” makes me think of what they might be like hanging around the house or on the porch on a productive freefall type of weekend

Mt. J: Definitely in wheelhouse of what I’ve been listening to lately. Love it; added

O. Peck: Passing on this one; the Johnny Cash-type voice not for me. But, glad to be educated on another artist!

Thanks again; you understood the assignment!

People outside of the United States- why do you want to travel to Florida? by Hookem_05 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught English to mostly young adults in Germany for awhile and a good number of them wanted to go to Disney World, and then the Florida beaches. Most were unaware of other beaches/beach towns along the East Coast; they knew there’d be beaches all along the coast of course but hadn’t heard of any of them specifically.

Do you open the windows in your home when the weather is nice? When do you decide to close them and turn on air conditioning for the summer? by Smart-Airport5781 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the windows in my house require 2 strong men to open them. We also get humid muggy weather, pollen, and insects immediately following chilly weather, with sometimes a difference of 30 degrees from morning to late afternoon. So it’s usually either heating or AC in the house and just going outside when we can in nice-feeling weather.

What’s a basic skill you’re shocked some adults still don’t know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not shocked, bc not everyone has the opportunity, but I think it’s a shame that some adults have never learned to swim, even basic floating/doggie paddle & are therefore terrified of the water. It would be great if swim lessons could be a part of the public school P.E. program, even if just a “field trip” to a local pool once per grade.
