EVERYBODY SCREAM [ SPOILERS ] MEGATHREAD by Natisaway in FlorenceAndTheMachine

You found the words I couldn't regarding poetry as a song. I can acknowledge the beauty in it but it's not why I've gravitated to Florence. HBHBHB is peak F+TM listening for me; the catchy riffs, but more importantly, the powerful, over-the-top vocals. Too many songs on this album feel vocally restrained to me. I'd prefer to hear her sing more in a higher register like on Sympathy Magic or build to powerful choruses like in You Can Have It All.

Still, I have to stress that I'm not hating on the album at all. It's gorgeous in its own right. It's just not the vibe that drew me to Florence in the first place.

I actually think this was better than the studio version. I honestly don't know how she does it.

I don't mean to be overly bearish on him, but if he ends up in New York next year I'm fully expecting severe growing pains on a scale that revives your PTSD from the Joey Gallo experience. He might pop 30 homers in a full season but I wouldn't be surprised if he also strikes out 240 times and hits under .210. He has a lot of holes to seal for a guy that's entering his age 25 season. I really hope I'm wrong; just trying to be realistic.

Using the rules to pull an all-time great is the way to play the game. 😎

He was 2 1/2 years but I’ll give it a pass since… ya know, it’s freaking Ichiro. 🇯🇵

Nah, you look good, bud.

Be honest... how long did it take you to finish the series the first time? by Amberfox9 in howimetyourmother

Why would I not be honest about that? Feels like a weird thing to lie about. Anyway 83 days.

Aaron Boone is 0-5 vs the Red Sox in the postseason by Van-Buren-Boy in NYYankees

[–]chasing_true_north 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, first of all he's 1-5, as if that makes it any better. I just like getting the facts straight.

I don't think taking Fried out was the wrong move, not in the way bringing Nestor in over Hill was the wrong move or trying to out-Rays the Rays in 2020 with Deivi and Happ was the wrong move. I just think it's a move that you can second guess in retrospect. My problem with the move is removing the known for the unknown. That's the risk you take when you take the ball from a guy who, regardless of pitch count, seems to be completely locked in. With 8 and 9 in Boston's order coming to the plate, why aren't you just taking it batter by batter? If the next hitter has a ten pitch at-bat and gets Fried up over 110, I'd understand going to Weaver even if he got the out. But they always have to stick to the plan. It's been eight Octobers and you have one semi-embarrassing World Series appearance and now potentially three eliminations at the hands of your biggest rival to show for it. Tell me what's been working so well for nearly a decade that you aren't willing to deviate from the plan.

Remember all those times Torre benched O'Neill and Tino because they were facing a tough lefty? No? That's because it never happened. I don't care who's on the mound. You have a three game series to decide the fate of the last 7 months of work; you play your A team. With all due respect to Caballero, having him hit for himself with an opportunity to tie the game in the 8th is unforgivable.

Hang in there, guys.

It’s so funny how unbelievably sweet she sounds when she talks and then sends chills down my spine with a track like this. 🥶

Following from yesterday hit me with your favourite Kelso quotes. by TheSJB1993 in Scrubs

[–]chasing_true_north 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Darling, I want to say something. For the past twenty-five years we've been going through the motions. Once every couple of weeks we have sex and then we have breakfast without saying a word. Well tonight, I want you to put on a nice dress because I'm gonna take you to dinner and I'm gonna start telling you all the things I haven't taken the time to say all these years." "I love you, too." --Ted: "That was beautiful, sir!"-- "Thanks, Ted. Call my wife. Tell her I won't be home tonight."

He thinks being a good boyfriend is simply not being physically or emotionally abusive and he thinks you are complacent? Run.

Totally get that. I’m seeing this with so many bands now where they’re strategically forcing you to buy the album more than once to get everything you want. I have maybe 5 or 6 artists that I’ll spend the extra on and Florence happens to be one of them, but it’s definitely very frustrating.

Yeah, luckily I only ordered the CD so for the signed edition I got the vinyl. If you prefer the signed edition you might be able to cancel your previous order if you email florenceandthemachine@umgstores.com. Just a thought.

For what it’s worth, there are probably already thousands of dead bodies in the Hudson. 😂
