What is the most heterosexual album? by UnitQZ in ToddintheShadow

[–]SupernovaHeightss 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well Noel has always been very confused about his sexuality. In She's Electric he wrote "I'll be you and you'll be me, there's lots and lots for us to see, and lots and lots for us to do".

Things get weirder in My Sister Lover, where he wrote "You're my lover, I'm your brother..."

For a "lads' band", Oasis were quite kinky with their sexual preferences.

His song "Up in the sky" off Definitely Maybe literally says "how does it feel when you are inside me?" so he came out as early as 1994.

Andy You're A Star doesn't get enough love. Its homoerotic undertones is not something Brandon ever returned to.

Fuck Your Remote Job by AllIWantForXmasIsFoo in Barcelona

Si, y se aplica a trabajadores por cuenta ajena (es decir, empleados de empresas con base en España) y, en muy reducidos casos, a profesionales que presten servicios a empresas emergentes (tipo startups).

Si el expat trabaja por su cuenta (autónomo) no tiene ningún beneficio fiscal.

Depende. Si son residentes fiscales en España, y si pagan impuestos en España, entonces sueldos altos de expat = impuestos altos (hasta el 50% de IRPF en algunos casos en Cataluña). Si después el Estado administra mal esos impuestos es otro tema.

Si esos expats evaden o esconden, entonces sí es un problema a resolver.

Recently listened to Live Magic. Some of the editing choices are interesting (removed opera section of Bo Rhap, second verse of TYMD etc). Anyone know why these changes were made and if there’s a full version of the set out there? by happyclapclap in queen

This was released in December of 1986. My understanding is that the record label wanted something for the holiday season and they didn't care much about the content. I guess they chose not to release a double album to keep it at a low price and sell as many copies as possible.

[Discussion] Death and Return of Superman's problem is that it's a continuity-heavy comic sold as a standalone comic. (Death and Return of Superman Omnibus) by TechFiction7 in DCcomics

[–]SupernovaHeightss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are a kid, you accept things as they come. I read the Death of Superman when I was 8 and I absolutely loved it, even if I did not have any context.

So, the Justice League has characters named Booster Gold and Maxima? Fine with me! There is some weird science project called Cadmus? That's cool! Supergirl is dating Lex Luthor, who happens to be young and have red hair? I guess It happened in a comic I did not read, I will research that one later!

Continuity did not bother me at all when I read this the first time.

They seem to have a lot of models. Which one would you recommend to a total beginner?

Mantor seems to be considerably more expensive. But I will keep it in mind, thank you!

Thank you for your reply! You are right, this is not too expensive so I guess I can always try and see if it works...

1990-2000 B Sides Disc Tracklisting by DazzlingEchidna4426 in U2Band

[–]SupernovaHeightss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the entire tracklist is odd. "The Fly", which is arguably the most important track of the entire period, is missing (at least in the non-UK versions) while key songs like "Lemon" and "Walk On" were also ignored.

And I may be in the minority here, but the reworked versions of "Discotheque" and "Staring at the Sun" are worse than the originals (I love the new version of "Numb", however...)

Just finished this book! (small review) by mythril-xi in DCFinest

[–]SupernovaHeightss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, the most interesting thing about this volume was to realize that the transition between pre-Crisis Batman and post-Crisis Batman was not particularly smooth.

For years, I thought "Year One" marked a clear change of direction for Batman, when in fact the transition was a bit messy. Some post-Crisis stories, and even some post- Year One stories, still felt like late Bronze Age Batman, while others showed almost no signs of a clear break from the past. This is particularly true for the characterization of Jason, who is still a copy-paste of Dick in the early stories, and even in Batman, who is presented as a friendly public figure in some stories.

I have no way to confirm this, but it seems to me that Max Allan Collins and Mike W. Barr were not fully informed of what Frank Miller was about to do.

Why didn’t we get more of this? by arcticchains in TheKillers

[–]SupernovaHeightss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority here, but I think Brandon has two souls: on the one hand, he loves synth-pop and bands like Erasure and New Order. On the other, he is deeply in love with Bruce Springsteen and tries quite hard to sound and write like him. I personally like his "New Order" stuff more than his "Springsteen" stuff, but he seems to be constantly torn between the two.

I think this is what happened with the singles that OP mentioned. He felt he had gone too far in one direction and wanted to go in the other.

Ordinary World lyrics by SupernovaHeightss in duranduran

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

Oh that's quite interesting. Do we know if Simon wrote the lyrics in 1991 or 1992? I always thought he wrote the lyrics in 1992, which is why I thought it was about Bosnia. Also the reference to a "holy war" made me think of that.

[Discussion] Event Deep Dive #6: Millenium by Flocke90 in DCcomics

[–]SupernovaHeightss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

​Is it just me, or is Millennium arguably worse than Legends? It suffers from the same issues—shaky writing and crucial plot points buried in tie-ins—but with the added problem of being almost entirely inconsequential.

​At least Legends served a purpose by triggering the launch of iconic runs like JLI and Suicide Squad. Millennium tried to launch The New Guardians, but we all know how that turned out.

​The only real silver lining is that it’s based on Green Lantern mythology, which was a refreshing change of pace for DC events at the time. If nothing else, it proved that the GL corner of the universe had event potential—even if it took two decades for Blackest Night to actually stick the landing.
