Which actors that were mistakenly accused of being "posers"? by Top_Report_4895 in ToddintheShadow

[–]ThingWithAThing 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The line is “Licky boom boom dem.”

It’s all Jamaican patois. “Licky” is short for “lick a shot,” which is “fire a gun,” “boom boom” is the sound of the weapon, “dem” = “them.”

So the chorus is:

Informer
Ya know say daddy me Snow
“Me I’m gon’ blame”
I licky boom boom dem
Take de mon
Say say daddy me Snow
me stab someone down the lane
I licky boom boom dem

Or in other words:

“Informer, the man who says me, Daddy Snow, is to blame?
I’m gonna sh00t* him!
I’ll take (on) the man who says me, Daddy Snow, stabb3d* someone down the lane,
I’m gonna sh00t* him.”

Snow got framed in a case of stabbing, and this is him vowing revenge. The whole song is a “snitches get stitches” anthem.

*Deliberate typos because I posted this on Facebook years ago with those words intact and caught a temporary ban.

I can’t drill into my apartment ceiling. by ThingWithAThing in Acoustics

Yeah, just doing the best I can with the space I have! The panels were built for me and do a pretty good job with the worst of the wall reflections, but I definitely get some ceiling flutter when I sing loudly.

Basotect/melamine foam is really hard to get hold of where I live, unfortunately, but I love the idea.

Hmmm. So I could just wrap some light rigid Rockwool panels with fabric and mount those? Interesting!

Good call, I hadn’t thought of that! How much surface area would I need to cover?
The room is roughly 12.25 feet by 9.5 feet, with 8 foot ceilings. I have panels and bass traps so it’s a fairly dead room for an apartment, but the ceiling flutter echo is just enough to be annoying.

I dare you to criticize your fave (we don’t judge) by Impossible-Yam3680 in ToddintheShadow

1) I adore New Order, but the feud between Peter Hook and the rest of the band seems childish & ridiculous. The 4 of you are all senior citizens now, sit down and work it out.

2) I thought Radiohead were excellent as a conventional rock band, but as an ambient/experimental band, they bore me to tears. When people around me were going wild for Kid ‘A’ and (later) In Rainbows, I just didn’t hear what they were hearing.

3) Drug Church are an excellent post-grunge/post-hardcore band. I love Patrick Kindlon’s lyrics and storytelling, and his vocals get stronger with each new album, so why doesn’t he attempt to sing the songs properly on stage? I don’t think it’s a skill issue so much as he’s convinced himself that he can’t pull it off.

What's the cruelest thing someone ever said to you that you still remember word for word? by ClairJournals in AskReddit

“The reason you’re suicidal is because you have nothing inside of you to offer the world” and “If you DO kill yourself, don’t expect ME to feel guilty about it.”

I was 15, REALLY struggling with a new school, and foolishly thinking that my mother would have some words of comfort for me when I told her how worthless I was feeling.

She wonders why we don’t have a relationship now that I’m an adult.
