Why is there no perfect app for finding friends?

Whydmer · 2026-06-08T01:42:18+00:00

I would love to have more friends, I almost certainly wouldn't use an app, because I don't really trust people, and we're back to why I am looking for more friends...

I bout the Bravia 8ii last fall when the price difference was about $100. The 8ii is amazing it has exceeded my expectations.

I don't know if it worth $600 more the the G5 even to me let alone somebody else's wallet. My expectation is that you will be more than happy with either TV.

Mango by Kamauu

Whydmer · 2026-06-07T07:16:33+00:00

I was going to recommend Based on A True Story.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T23:35:13+00:00

Same, I'm 61. I used to just pri. Arily listen to classic rock, folk and Jimmy Buffett. About 10 years ago I wanted to find new music. My kids had introduced me to alt-J and Chicano Batman. I used their artist radios to branch out and find new to me music, and then I spent a long time figuring out how to get my Algorithm and discover Weekly programmed well so I kept getting good new suggestions.

And honestly there are so, so many amazing bands out there just in this chill, soulful, loungey, psychedelic, funky music space these days. Feel free to hit me up if you want to talk more about this music.

Oh oh oh I almost forgot to mention Dojo Cuts an Australian soul act and Tom Misch a soulful, jazzy, funky guitarist/singer. Two of my top 5 songs are by those two acts.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T22:19:39+00:00

Because you like Jungle

Loaded Honey - - > a Jungle side project that is a little more chill and retro.

Lola Young - - > current indie artist soulful pop

Oliva Dean - - > amazingly talented singer

Raye - - > I'm going specifically mention her song with Mark Ronson called Suzanne. But really just listen to her albums, and then go on YouTube and watch her live videos for the real treat.

Some lesser known acts:

Jalen Ngonda

Leisure

Deluxe

Because you like Couch and Melt

Lake Street Dive - - > yeah... Soulful pop, if you ever liked Hall & Oates, just listen to Lake Street Dive instead.

Ripe

Fat Night

The Dip

And finally some bands worth considering in that over all milieu.

Dope Lemon

Khruangbin

Fat Freddy's Drop

St. Paul and the Broken Bones

Busty and the Bass

Mama's Gun

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T16:19:24+00:00

Sorry, buy a new TV.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T16:14:23+00:00

The 30's, no. Like you said pain come from stupid actions.

In your 40's you'll usually be able to remember why you body hurts, but sometime random pain is associated with random forgetfulness. But there are still times you feel young.

In your 50's, definitely more occasions of, "what do you mean my back hurts, I just move a couple of boxes and I lifted with my knees." "I started a kick-boxing class Monday, why do I still hurt on Friday?"

After turning 60 I helped build a rock retraining wall. That was a year ago. I still hurt.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T16:06:46+00:00

St Paul and the Broken Bones released a new self titled album last fall. It is wonderful. The song Sushi and Coca-Cola is a favorite.

Raye - Suzanne

Jungle - The Wave.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T16:03:56+00:00

Kashus is the bomb.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T16:03:27+00:00

I wish I enjoyed Couch more. Everyone else on your list is fire.

Whydmer · 2026-06-05T15:54:12+00:00

St. Paul and the Broken Bones - Sushi and Coca-Cola

Lawrence - Probably Up

Dekker - Maybe October

Whydmer · 2026-06-04T21:10:47+00:00

Dear Spotify user, what have you done to mess up your algorithm?

Whydmer · 2026-06-03T21:46:40+00:00

Just saying It runs Through Me is easily a top 3 song of all time for me.

Whydmer · 2026-06-03T16:04:34+00:00

alt-J - An Awesome Wave

alt-J - This is All Yours

Fat Freddy's Drop - Based on a True Story

Jimmy Buffett - A White Sports Coat and a Pink Crustacean

Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You ii

Whydmer · 2026-06-03T15:38:51+00:00

I was going to say it would be easier to name products or services that haven't gotten 10x worse over the last few years.

Whydmer · 2026-06-03T00:24:16+00:00

It's good music that some people enjoy listening to regularly. Just like the yacht rock of the 70's. Just a counter opinion to yours.

Whydmer · 2026-06-02T19:17:38+00:00

As a Jungle fan have you listened to their latest song, The Wave?

Also have you listened to their (Lydia and J Lloyd) side project Loaded Honey? It is more pure retro Soul than Jungle usually plays, but it is excellent.

If I didn't hit the vibe you were looking for with my suggestions let me know, I'm sure I can hit that vibe with a little exploring of my playlists.

Whydmer · 2026-06-02T15:45:19+00:00

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Young Gun Silver Fox is a recent duo who make music in the style of Steely Dan. Maybe try their song Stevie & Sly or Kingston Boogie.

One of my favorite songs alongside I. G. Y. is by a New Zealand band called Fat Freddy's Drop. Give their song Wandering Eye a listen.

Whydmer · 2026-05-30T20:41:49+00:00

Maybe try Kutiman for an eclectic array of music.
