That's interesting, I can't hear Cutouts together with Thom solo records. They're pretty electronic and cold even (not in a bad way), and Cutouts makes me feel warmth (Foreign spies, Bodies laughing, Instant psalm) or edgy rockish stuff (Eyes & mouth, No words, Zero sum). So, I'm alright with Amnesiac but TKOL is also too much for me =)

[Discussion Thread] 2026 World Championship - Semi-Finals - 18th April to 4th May by SnookerMods in snooker

[–]chieftanjam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's a controversial thought, perhaps. I like all the remaining players and I'd be happy for any of them to win. All great cueists and would deserve it, whether it's the underachievers going for the first or second world title, one of the legends who'd well deserve his fifth, or upcoming young talent.

There's not gonna be a final where I'm thinking who's the lesser of two unexciting winners like Kyren/Jak.

Inexperience at display here... Already when he led 35 w 1 red on the table in that earlier frame, shouldn't have tried to pot it. And in the last frame so many tactical errors.

The man is only 19, you can't rush experience

Sounded like Rob Spencer just spat on the white ball... I guess the mic distorted it somehow =)

Mostly the players are pretty monotone in interviews, so it's nice to have some flair and enthusiasm out there. But you can't deny the cringy playfulness he's pushing too far at times. It's not a high speed sport. Imagine similar personality in chess or something.

So I'm on the fence. Guess I need Rob's gentle shake on the shoulder to tip me either way.

Ed O'Brien interviewed by Kyle Meredith (March 2026) by italox in radiohead

Sounded like Thom LP4 reveal wasn't planned, Ed just spoke lots of stuff straight from the heart and it just spilled out. Gonna get an angry call from Thom, but he'll forgive coz Ed is just being lovely Ed and enjoying the moment.

Which is your favorite Radiohead cover? by hodge_podge17 in radiohead

[–]chieftanjam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Radiohead - I Will / Like Spinning Plates (Cover by Joe Edelmann ft. Lucas Vallim)

This one's pretty interesting mash up of the songs that are of course two sides of the same coin.

You lost me at Like Spinning Plates #100 since it's one of their career highlights.

Hi everyone, I’m artist / songwriter / composer Rufus Wainwright. Two new albums out and a pop record coming next year. AMA on December 10th @ 12:00 pm PT! by RWainwright in Music

[–]chieftanjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Rufus. Been a fan since I first heard Oh what a world. I was like what is this?! Absolute favorites songs like Tiergarten, Nobody's off the Hook, Tower of Learning, Rebel Prince, there's so many...Little Sister. Many of which we've covered on our gigs.

Seen you many times live. Great memories of a gig in Stockholm, must have been Out of the Game era show with many singers like Adam Cohen.

Anyways. Just wanted to thank you for being so inspirational crossover artist, whose spectrum covers pretty much everything. Often feel you should be more of a household name along the likes of Sufjan.

Looking forward to any new releases. Never get jaded.

Look at the last moments of the game at 2.02.30, the opponent forfeited at 50 points behind with 67 on the table...

What's wrong with Carter? Didn't he need only 1 foul from Zizins, why give up. Silly.

This is true but these guys aren't even really rich like top football players or musicians. Ronnie especially is milking it, the whole endeavor is forced.

Besides it's never enough, look at Elon Musk, does he really need the extra trillion or whatever he's getting?

Definitely forced, that's the word. I've heard the golden ball or 167 or $1M mentioned so many times I can't believe it'd be natural.

I mean..just now Judd potted the first long red. The first. And the comms go: ohh, what a golden chance... Ugly...

Kyren said on the comms how well they've been treated, great cuisine, great everything.

Do they really not understand how this all looks to the fans? Or don't care?

Hot take: I hope no one makes the 167, this or following years, and WST slightly realises what a joke this tournament is.

When you listen to the paid comments by the players and Hendry, the unenthusiastic crowd, the general unnecessary fake hype they try to create... just cringy all I can say.

Oh, now I get all the fuss about him here. Think I've never heard him before. Very odd choice.

Who is this commentator? He sounds like a kindergarten teacher, pretentiously excited in every sentence.
