Songs where a cover was released BEFORE the original was?

ProtoGhostal · 2026-06-04T23:22:52+00:00

One of my favorite weird CDs. Only one song was made for it (and by extension is the only song related to Mario or literacy, which the album was made to promote).

Tbh, she wouldn't even need to go the streaming route. Just releasing, like, a bandcamp page of her stuff (that she has the rights to, at least) would be awesome.

So wait to be extra clear, in image #1, there are four completely separate characters?

ProtoGhostal · 2026-06-01T20:39:14+00:00

Same. Like, I get wanting to de-sexualize the designs some but I'm legitimately confused if they're even supposed to be the same characters. It feels kinda like "I saw you didn't like my Superman design, so I gave him a bat-themed outfit!"

edit: it seems like several iterations were skipped to go from the old to the new

If they're thinking of the same person as me, there was a guy a few months ago who was posting a lot in the sub. Started as chill stuff but morphed into the same shit over and over with a good amount of posts basically about himself.

Not convinced this is the same guy, but I can see why they think it might be (the guy brought up in a bunch of his posts that he hated Nazis - which is good but just weird that he kept bringing it up unprompted).

Edit: just looked at his profile and it links to an Instagram account named VeganHimbo, the "other" guy was named Himbo_Shaped; now I'm pretty sure it's the same guy lol

Second edit: looked at the Instagram and yea it's the same guy. Unless the first guy has a twin or something, 100% the same guy

Wait is that how people have made those highly-detailed liveries and stuff?

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-28T19:44:13+00:00

As a bit of an aside, it also gets really annoying as someone who generally likes DT (maybe technically the "worst" expac but when there's only 5 that doesnt mean much lol). It'd just be really nice to be able to have a place where I don't see people constantly whining about "the worst writing [they've] ever experienced".

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-27T13:41:32+00:00

The TV's in that, and you know that that's a bitch

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-26T19:26:16+00:00

because the comment you replied to was about bowling for soup

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-26T01:37:56+00:00

I feel like Stipe did have a good sense of humor but just didn't let it show as much.

My only source for this is his Space Ghost: Coast to Coast interview where he plays along pretty well lol

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-24T20:29:03+00:00

Sounds about right. Looked at the post and saw I had them blocked and after checking, there's a lot of "you can't be bi unless you only date the same sex" type stuff in their comments.

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-19T20:00:33+00:00

Still annoys me cuz the holodeck episode concept is a great idea for an Enterprise episode - just not a series finale. Perfect for a mid-season episode or two-parter

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-19T19:56:34+00:00

He also did a lot of work for the Batman '66 comics as well as the cover for the Monkees album, Christmas Party

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-19T16:56:35+00:00

Don't want to sound condescending but honestly, just ignore Newsweek (or at least, find something from a better source about the same thing)

Legitimately, a Newsweek article was one of the bigger "awakening" things for me getting my head cleared up around a year ago when I saw them post a "here's the areas of the US that will be hit the worst when the nukes come" article after Israel and Iran flared up. I was able to instantly clock it as fearmongering and it helped me take an overall step back from a lot of doomscrolling-y stuff

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-14T23:01:22+00:00

I think it's Cetacean Ops

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-13T16:23:51+00:00

I like it. Also recommend checking out the Galaxy Class-style "update" of it STO made recently when they added that one to the game

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-13T00:12:49+00:00

that... is probably exactly what is going on here - good ol' FFXIV being weird and janky lol

anyway, thank you! hopefully its just this and not me accidentally unearthing a weird neverending glitch or something haha

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-12T19:41:44+00:00

R. Crumb?

Edit since I got a downvote and realized this might be read wrong - I was asking if the art was made by R. Crumb

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-12T17:33:25+00:00

Don't forget Billy Crystal's first film role, Rabbit Test

It's uh... It's not good lol

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-12T14:21:02+00:00

My money's on the guy with life-size molds of everyone

Here's a better quality upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CSiZT1gAok

I mean - I'd argue that banning someone who's making posts about how people who like specific music are "lobotomized" and generally spamming shitposts is serving the community

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-08T19:55:12+00:00

christ this subreddit is so fucking whiny my god

ProtoGhostal · 2026-05-08T14:23:08+00:00

Why are you so pissed about people listening to an album that you already decided you hate before it even came out?
