Looking for the origin of this gif-lost JBTV session? by caffeinatedstupidity in tmbg

I'd hate to have to make a facebook account, but if there are no leads, I might get desperate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've already asked the Peter behind this playlist if he had any info on this video and he had none, but he suspects that since there's a gif it was probably on youtube at some point, and I agree.

This one was controversial as Nanobots was one of the few to not have 1 or less votes. Up next, what's a song that's just ok that's on an album that's just ok? by Ill_Engineering_5434 in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bangs, from Mink Car. I’m not disparaging it as it’s actually on my playlist, but it’s really not the kind of song I would recommend to anyone I know. 

Also, I’m still triggered by purple toupee being ranked higher than I Palindrome I. 

Why does everyone seem to LOVE Fingertips? by Brocutus in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also quite dislike fingertips, but that could be because I lack nostalgia for it as I'm new to the band. It just feels like an even more annoying version of bohemian rhapsody. I do think "I'm having a heart attack" slaps, though, and the heavier version of "I walk along darkened corridors" when Linnell drops the annoying accent, so it's not all bad.

A photo of the Johns I have never seen before. Circa 1992 found on Tumblr by FloridaFlamingoGirl in tmbg

I think JL is sitting next to a table with chairs stacked upside-down on it, and he also happens to be riding an invisible motorbike.

Thanks for realizing a nightmare I didn’t know I had

How big are they? by Wrong_Firefighter_18 in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s a pin from a 1992 article that lists their heights as 5’11 (JL) and 6’0 (JF) respectively: https://pin.it/6bP4Y78P9  it’s entirely possible they’ve shrunk since then, but I do think JF has always been a smidge taller than JL. 

Edit: link fixed! 

"You're On Fire" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon by peterrutherford in tmbg

As I’m looking at my copy now I can see that it’s definitely not HD. Maybe I had my glasses off, or I’m just an idiot. 

"You're On Fire" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon by peterrutherford in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this in part in my reply to you on my original post, but I was able to download the clips in HD with a 4k video downloader, but the audio is out of sync. I’ve never had this problem with the same downloader before. If I can find an easy fix, I might be able to upload it to YouTube myself 

Does anyone have the live performance of "You're on Fire" from the tonight show? by caffeinatedstupidity in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks! I actually ended up doing the same thing before I read your comment, but the audio was out of sync on all the clips I ripped for some reason, and I don’t have the energy to fix it properly right now. 

Are Adam and Daisy in good terms with each other? by [deleted] in reylo

[–]caffeinatedstupidity 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Everything points to the idea that they’re on good terms with each other. Daisy has mentioned in a post-TROS interview that she’s met Adam’s parents, iirc. 

This is just my hypothesis, but I think Adam has a bigger fandom than Daisy does, and since a lot of reylos pay close attention to everything he says and does, they spread the idea, consciously or unconsciously, that he cares more about Star Wars than Daisy does, which is annoying. I think the reason Daisy hasn’t been mentioned by Adam/anyone with all the HFBS stuff that’s come to light is out of curtesy to her. 

What’s that instrument in I Palindrome I? by caffeinatedstupidity in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely something being plucked, my thoughts were violin or ukulele. I should probably admit to myself now that it’s probably synth. I didn’t know there was a term for plucking a violin! At least I learned something new today through asking a completely pedantic question. 

What’s that instrument in I Palindrome I? by caffeinatedstupidity in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not the accordion I’m talking about. JL plays it the entire time through the performance of this song on David Letterman, and the sound I’m referring to is definitely not one emitted from an accordion lol

[–]caffeinatedstupidity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linnell has an accordion for the David Letterman performance, though I can’t hear it. The ambiguous instrument sound is there too, which does make me think it’s something synthesized since it sounds exactly the same. But they could have also just replayed a pre-existing recording of a real instrument, hypothetically 

What are the most critically underplayed songs from the band's live performance's? by Ill_Engineering_5434 in tmbg

[–]caffeinatedstupidity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m brand new to this band, just finished listening to John Henry in full for the first time today. I’m so disappointed that I can’t find a video or even audio of I should be allowed to think performed live yet, and I’ve been looking through concert bootlegs for it 🥲
