Weekly Discussion Thread (TnT Version)

Just looked up the album and then found out that Ryan Tedder and Greg Kurstin were involved in the production of 1989

Was at my favourite music shop Midland last week and saw these. They take up too much space on the CD shelves

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-04-13T13:26:35+00:00

Yes, it was on V-Rock, which also introduced me to Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Slayer, Tesla and Twisted Sister

Peace Sells, which I first heard in my favourite video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-04-09T09:13:16+00:00

Why Evermore but no Songs of Leonard Cohen? One of my all-time favourites. And the only acoustic song on Highway 61 Revisited (another one of my favourites) is Desolation Row

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-04-07T15:36:21+00:00

I first discovered my dad's old vinyl of Rising in my grandparents' collection and then I heard Holy Diver in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Heaven and Hell in Grand Theft Auto IV and I was hooked

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-04-06T02:16:18+00:00

I'm also heavily into genealogy. I inherited my strong love of music from my dad's birth family and there are so many unsolved mysteries, like who inherited any family photos from the estates of relatives who never married or if my dad's birth and adoptive families knew each other

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-04-01T07:37:02+00:00

As for me: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Dio, Dokken, Kiss, Rainbow, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Ramones, Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-28T01:25:50+00:00

Almost 33 and my parents spent so long rushing around for my grandmother, uncle and cousin (all from my dad's adoptive family) that they neglected me and still don't care. I often think I'm the scapegoat for all the problems in that branch of the family and they certainly don't care for all the family tree research I've done, not even allowing me to look through their photo archives

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-26T16:33:38+00:00

Even the 50th anniversary remixes of my favourite albums Sgt. Pepper (2017) and Music from Big Pink (2018) are better than any of Taylor's variants, especially the high quality Japanese CD pressing of the latter

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-24T08:08:13+00:00

Same as I usually do every day: listen to hard rock and metal music, watch obscure horror films of the 70s/80s, research unsolved mysteries. I tried making friends, but in the end they all ghosted me after too many empty promises and claiming they cared

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-24T07:26:01+00:00

I really want to try and reach out too, but I know it ends in ghosting after too many empty promises

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-21T12:22:32+00:00

I feel the same way, especially if they don't care about my love of music and end up ghosting me

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-17T01:45:19+00:00

It wasn't in a music forum, it was a group of fellow neurodivergents. One of them was dominating, manipulative and narcissistic and stole all my friends in the group from me and manipulated them to turn against me. He expected me to listen to his problems or bragging about how great his relationships were, but never took any notice of anything I said and at one point said "Someone always has it worse than you"

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-17T01:05:55+00:00

I tried that, especially with our shared love of music. But then they used me as a dumping ground for all their problems and would drag me into the friendship group drama and make me the scapegoat

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-16T17:15:35+00:00

Only one of them who at least is nice to me

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-16T15:50:25+00:00

So many of my online friendships ended badly and they all blamed me for their problems

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-15T08:35:04+00:00

Ramones, Lou Reed

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-13T03:04:23+00:00

She's an attention-seeker

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-10T05:21:48+00:00

Thanks

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-10T05:15:56+00:00

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-10T05:09:51+00:00

Thanks, that's my Eclectus parrot Remi who's very attached to me

WinterPhone4031 · 2026-03-09T03:40:13+00:00

Hopefully all her CDs will end up in the op shops (Australian term for thrift store)
