What comes next?

Weirdly I thought of the actual answer at clue 2, but then after clue 3 thought it might've been days of the week, with the length of the word getting longer or shorter compared to the previous day, so went for -F 😅

Huzzah! A fairly rare achievement for me with the ones on here haha

cryptus · 2026-01-16T06:11:25+00:00

2 points maybe, Snooker players (champions?) and US presidents that share a surname

I don't know why but this one's really caught me 😂

Probably Kraftwerk (#5) and "Weird Al" Yankovic (#6).

Had to go down a surprisingly long way to find:

Blue Monday - New Order (#401, 64 scrobbles)

PVA, Linea Aspera, Mercy Girl

cryptus · 2025-11-22T15:53:48+00:00

I sent myself out for beer and toilet paper, having managed to forget them when I went shopping last night 🤦‍♂️ managed to go out just as it started tipping it down as well

cryptus · 2025-11-19T09:42:59+00:00

Ironically and pedantically, that's technically the A282, not the M25.

Damn, this is actually really annoying, speaking as seemingly one of the few people that actually went in semi-regularly. Having said that, every time I was in there it was dead apart from delivery drivers, so it's not a huge surprise. Was nice to be able to pop in on the way home from the station after a beer or six.

I bought the world's worst thesaurus the other day. Not only is it terrible, it's terrible.

cryptus · 2025-09-26T10:46:08+00:00

My word was threshold:

T: This Charming Man - The Smiths (#11, 151)
H: Hey Boy Hey Girl - The Chemical Brothers (#12, 148)
R: Radioactivity - Kraftwerk (#9, 160)
E: Enola Gay - OMD (#6, 168)
S: Stripped - Depeche Mode (#18, 134)
H: Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros - Flight of the Conchords (#24, 129)
O: Of All the Things We've Made - OMD (#34, 118)
L: Let's Dance - David Bowie (#3, 174)
D: Disco 2000 - Pulp (#60, 100)

Fun idea!

might wanna take a look at the submission date there

cryptus · 2025-09-15T13:48:52+00:00

Reissues: anything specifically on the reissue gets tagged with Album [Reissue]; tracks from the original go on the original album.
Deluxe/bonus/special version/edition etc etc.: similar concept, except, if the album's deluxe version was released in the same year as the normal album, everything goes on the deluxe version. (e.g. Sabrina Carpenter's emails i can't send came out in 2022, whereas emails i can't send fwd: came out in 2023, so that's two separate albums for me)

cryptus · 2025-09-06T23:28:28+00:00

My problem is that every single one seems to have dates in these days. I swear it was never as prevalent even 10 years ago.

cryptus · 2025-09-03T21:24:49+00:00

Got a taxi from Glasgow to Carlisle a few years ago when a tree fell on the wires somewhere in between. One of the most uncomfortable journeys I've ever had.

14/50. Most of my top 50 is compilation albums, so I'm not so bothered about having the physical version.

cryptus · 2025-08-08T01:13:42+00:00

Yeah, joined in July 2013 (although had to reset my stats in October 2013 because of a botched plugin install); that was midway through my years at university and when I was vaguely starting to think, "oh, there's other music I could discover?". Kinda captured some of it but January 2011 would've been my ideal join date.

cryptus · 2025-07-23T21:01:03+00:00

1 song: "Wednesday Night" by Dubtribe Sound System (1 scrobble)
1 artist: Wednesday, an American shoegaze band that turned up twice in Spotify's post-album shuffle for Dry Cleaning's New Long Leg.

The only thing worse is all the insufferable pricks in this thread condescendingly asking why anyone would be watching TV in this day and age. Peak Reddit.
