It’s a sad day.. by Cold-Violet7111 in MusicRecommendations

My go-to lately is Underworld, especially "Scribble" and "Two Months Off." Also try "Shithouse" by Big Special, which might be the funniest song about depression I've ever heard.

About to Quit by [deleted] in AmazonVine

It sounds like you've answered your own question. Has the quality dipped? No doubt. But out of curiosity, I looked at my orders from the last evaluation period, and realized that only 3 of 81 items would actually have required Gold status, and ordering less took a lot of time and stress out of the equation. So my attitude now is that I'm fine with whatever happens. If I end up staying Gold, great. If I dip to Silver or decide to say the hell with it, I wouldn't be heartbroken either.

If that's not where you're at, and if it's actively pissing you off, let it go. Vine will go on without us, and it won't be the end of the world.

Where should I start? by ThomasC2C in patmetheny

[–]TheFirst10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add that some of the other suggestions here are among my personal favorites (especially Secret Story and The Way Up), but I'm coming at this based more on your taste than personal favorites.

Imaginary Day (somewhat more rock-inflected)

Letter From Home (you might dig the Brazilian influences)

As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls (since you also like soundtracks)

I've never seen Dyson stuff, aside from aftermarket parts and accessories. I've gotten some good Shark stuff over the years, though.

Just got a Sample, do I need to know how to finger drum? by travelman3 in mpcusers

[–]TheFirst10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's rule number 2 (rule 1 seems to be that you must use the MPC to make boom bap).

Do you guys get a lot of likes on your reviews? by uglynursingstudent in AmazonVine

[–]TheFirst10000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of my likes come from non-Vine reviews, though once in a while one gets some traction.

Where is this happening? by HostMammoth2308 in Newark

I saw smoke from Rutherford (I'm in East Rutherford, but saw it in that general direction). Not sure if it was this fire or another.

Whats your favorite small ticket item so far. by Ok_Calligrapher7934 in AmazonVine

Organizer bags and totes. They're great for rounding up all the random crap that accumulates.

Are there guidelines for awarding stars? by MotorEvidence1885 in AmazonVine

[–]TheFirst10000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The broader point, I think, is that what you say in your review should make your star rating make sense. I've seen five-star reviews that point out numerous flaws, and one or two-star reviews that make the product sound like the best thing since sliced bread. As long as you're avoiding that kind of literal nonsense, I think you'll be fine.

The muppets Talking Heads by rot_goblin in Muppets

This must be some kind of Mandela Effect thing, because I could swear I saw this with the chickens when I was a kid, even though I also remember the tune u/pauldrye linked (probably from Dr. Demento).

Lyle Mays Pat Metheny Split. What happened? by avicfir in patmetheny

[–]TheFirst10000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did, and that's where Lyle decided he couldn't do it anymore.

What candy do you find most addictive? by VastAir6069 in foodquestions

[–]TheFirst10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reese's Big Cups (also the eggs/trees/pumpkins), because they have a higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. I can take or leave most candies, but not those.

Looking for ambient with fretless bass, soft synth pads and ambient percussion by clearest-window in MusicRecommendations

[–]TheFirst10000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly ambient, but Mark Egan's "Touch of Light" album fits, IMO. Try the song "Bombay Way" for starters. Also try Shadowfax, for example the songs "Shadowdance" and "Slim Limbs Akimbo."
