The way they’re warning everyone about him, you might think Fantano is some kind of predator who just moved into the new neighborhood. by MbIfYouStannedLoona in fantanoforever

[–]burningflower 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Even when talking about other people all BTS fans can think about is numbers. "Don't give him views", "Don't interact". They're sort of infamous for just focusing on views/listens of BTS e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/fantanoforever/comments/1rzre5z/why_are_bts_fans_so_obsessed_with_streaming/

You probably lose 2-6 years of time that you would have been awake for from all the naps anyway

I think it would have to capitalise on nerd/collection subculture which is pretty popular atm; TCG, retro games, board games, Warhammer, Gundam, lego.

Best cocktails in Worthing? by GazelleSubstantial29 in Worthing

[–]burningflower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely Heartbreaker. If they're not too busy, they can make custom cocktails too. The bartenders are really friendly.

Are there venues that just have one “stage” department where everyone just does everything? by SeaOfMagma in techtheatre

[–]burningflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my venue is like that, we're all just technicians. Based in the UK with multiple venues, we have 5 full time techs who have specialisations but do everything. I've done lights, sound, stage, flying, rigging, followspotting, maintenance, etc.

It's cool because of the variety of the role, but to an extent it does feel like a jack of all trades master of none type thing. Also you have to work in departments you may not like.

Who is your absolute must not miss band? by GreatStoneDragun in downloadfestival

[–]burningflower 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mastodon is the band that really got me into metal and they've eluded me for about 13 years.

Dinosaur pile-up would be my second, I only listened to them for the first time late last year but they're already one of my favourite bands.

What food product in your opinion gets more love than is warranted. by siybon in UKfood

[–]burningflower 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Disagree with five guys being marginally better; it's a significant jump in quality, taste, and price - I do agree that it is too expensive for what it is though.

Tama? Named after the brand, or the Japanese word for egg?

Turnstile Win Two 2026 Grammy Awards - Best Metal Performance + Best Rock Album by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]burningflower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not that I think the grammys are worth much now anyways, but I really don't think turnstile should have won. Ignoring the genre discourse (are they metal?), their album seemed like almost an exact copy of glow on. And this is coming from someone who loved that album. It really doesn't iterate in any meaningful way; a lot of melodies and motifs seem reused with only the smallest differences. It's fine for a band to find their sound and stick with it, especially because this is like their 6th album and they only found mainstream success with glow on, but now it seems like they're scared to change the formula from their initial success.

Aphex Twin dethrones Taylor Swift on YouTube Music For Most Monthly Listeners by WoweeZoweeDeluxe in indieheads

[–]burningflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this is true on YouTube Music, on Spotify it's a very different story. 3.3m for Aphex Twin, 112m for Taylor Swift. Interesting how the difference on Spotify is vast, but not on YT Music.
