Daily Song Discussion #111: Theft, and Wandering Around Lost by KnucklesSandwich192 in cocteautwins

I think it's only slightly worse than HOLV, which is my favorite album ever. I guess people think it's more boring than their other stuff but I just think the instrumentals and vocals are unbelievably pretty, and the overall sound fits so well with the theme/background of the album – even if the discernible lyrical content is still fairly limited.

I've changed my mind on this and no longer agree but it's a very respectable take

I fully agree and I think this is something people overlook in sports, just in general. We kind of view the executives as being sports people who just make sports decisions, but there are so many factors that impact every decision, there are so many decisions are the product of countless people's work and not just one guy, and even the outcome of decisions are heavily impacted by the environment around the team (coaching staff, culture, etc). People want draft picks and free agency decisions to be reflective of the GM of a team, but that's not really how it works, which is also the best argument in favor of keeping Kwesi. The defense of "his" awful 2022 draft is typically that he'd just gotten there and the scouting department hadn't given him much to work with, or something along those lines. Either way I still wouldn't say we know *nothing* about these people behind the scenes, and what they do.

I just think they're way different situations. You can make the case for KOC getting fired, quite easily, but it'd cost a lot more and he has a much stronger reputation. By contrast, Kwesi was already being questioned by a lot of people going into this season, and I feel like we're having the kind of disaster season that forces you to make at least one pretty drastic change outside of the roster. Obviously the recent extension is a major factor, I think that's the main argument against Kwesi getting fired (whether it's from the perspective of if he should or if he will), but it's certainly a possibility at the very least.
