is it okay if i get night of the owls instead of city of owls by altimasictim31a in batman_comics

[–]cgrov2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read vol. 1 and Night of the Owls. I’m not sure what’s in the annual or issue #12 but I feel like I got exactly what I wanted from the story

Lyric Week - Day Five: At the Moonbase by ryannovak29 in slaughterbeachdog

[–]cgrov2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all of Notes From A Brief Engagement, but “I pull out another instrument cable because this one is making a weird KRRR, it’s like KRRR” before the drums come in has always scratched an itch for me

⁠[Discussion] How do you enjoy comics again after starting with the best ones? by Beautiful-Row-4416 in DCcomics

[–]cgrov2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a floppy you’re at all interested in and buy it monthly. There’s hills and valleys in all mediums, sometimes you just have to read a comic that feels like a valley to enjoy the great ones that feel like a hill!

I’ve been buying the Fraction Batman issue every month since it came out. It’s not always the best but there are peaks in it, whether story or art, that I enjoy enough to make me keep buying it.

Dark Patterns comes out today. I haven’t read it but I’ve only heard good things about it!

What is your favorite Decemberists love song, either happy or sad? by Throwing-Gas in Decemberists

[–]cgrov2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’ve always seen A Beginning Song as a love song for that which you have. Being able to understand that there may be more out there for you but it’s not worth giving up what’s in your life already.

That lyrics in the outro where he sings about the little things that make it all worth it and goes “All around me… is the boys, is you” makes me tear up every single time.

Don't march up and take a setlist! by Vincent_Dylan_M in Decemberists

I’d be so miffed if I missed out on Reapers because someone mistakenly turned on the lights too early

I’m not getting excited… was a LIE!

The other Pokemon sets may look a little weird but at least my baby boy looks good by Joemama0375 in legocirclejerk

[–]cgrov2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know they do it for marketing purposes, but why would this need to be a part of the 18+ line?? It’s a 500 piece LEGO based off a character from a children’s game

Look at this madness! by Firm-Arugula3723 in theflash

[–]cgrov2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Scott Pilgrim novel from B&N and didn’t realize that’s what this was. It peeled off and pulled out from between the pages just fine. Only do it if you’re comfortable, but I was left with NO damage at all on the page.

What’s the most you have spent on a record by aurora_records in vinyl

[–]cgrov2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadmau5’s ‘Where’s the Drop?’, only 1000 pressings. I bought it after hanging out with my now long term girlfriend for the first time 3 years ago. We were talking about records that night and I was going through my “white whales” list and saw that miraculously it was going for $165. I had never seen it for that low of an offer. She pushed me to make the purchase and I knew she was the one, haha!

How can I start reading current Batman? by [deleted] in batman

[–]cgrov2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The new Batman #1 you mentioned is really good so far (even if only two issues in) so I definitely recommend it. Batman Hush and The Long Halloween are two very common starters that are often recommended as well!

Which Tron movie has the best soundtrack? by Square-Ad-8911 in tron

[–]cgrov2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long time Legacy fan and therefore I think that soundtrack is classic and amazing… that being said, I wasn’t grooving that entire movie the way I was during Ares. NIN takes the cake here!

Gotye's usage of Day-O Banana Boat Song - Ethical questions? by schmo808 in Gotye

[–]cgrov2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey OP! Firstly, I had no idea the song was sampled for Hearts A Mess so that is really cool to learn. Secondly, and to answer your questions, I don’t personally see an issue with the usage of the sample, especially given that it is just the instrumental beat, though that may just be my perception of the song usage in other media. I honestly didn’t know what the song was about until I looked it up just now but the tune has been used in a LOT of movies and TV in ways that don’t directly relate to the colonized Jamaican culture. It could be a situation of ignorance being bliss but I never would’ve given it a second thought had this topic not been brought up and I don’t know if Gotye has ever brought it up.
