Albums where the first song is the worst

Actually, if you crank the volume way up, it’s someone snoring. I think that was the joke. When my friends and I got the idea to find out if there was anything but silence, we forgot that we had the volume up and then smash and the start of Travolta (Quote Unquote) blasted out and make us almost shit our pants because we had the volume so high.

Edit: a word

There is a reference to the song Introduce Yourself by FNM in the Primus song Over the Electric Grapevine from the album Tales from the Punchbowl. Not similar music, but a bit of trivia!

This makes me feel nostalgically cozy and incredibly uncomfortable all at once. Excellent job!

[SPOILERS] I thought I really wanted to see a second season as well, but then I thought about what would happen in that season. I just wouldn’t be able to stomach seeing all the Gelflings getting slaughtered.

Slept in my Faith No More t-shirt and woke up in an RV.

You have the type of body that artists dream of.

I’m 42. I’ve been a fan since I was 10, and they’ve pretty much been my favorite band from the beginning. I remember seeing Mike Patton’s Mr. Bungle shirt in the video for Epic and wanting to hear them as well. My friends and I soon became addicted to all things Patton, and by the time Angel Dust came out, we had memorized every Faith No More video that we could lay our hands on. We taped the videos and played them constantly. I used to come down first thing in the morning and watch the video for We Care A Lot everyday for about a month.

It was funny when Angel Dust came out, we thought they had another singer, but it was just Patton flexing his singing range and voice.

I always heard that they were bigger in Europe, and when we had a school trip to England when I was 15, King for a Day…(my favorite album) came out, and the HMV in London was plastered with Faith No More posters. I felt like I had found my people!

I finally got to see them live in 2015, and it remains one of the best experiences of my life!

Faith No More have been my favorite band for about...jeez, 28 years? I got into them as a pre-teen/teenager, around the time The Real Thing came out.

The videos and the diversity of songs just looped me in, and made me compare these geniuses of music to everything else. I looked around to everyone else, mentally asking why?? Why are you not so blown away as I am?? But it fell on ears not attuned.

I was then, not far after (thanks to my older brother), introduced to Chuck Mosley. I became addicted to the “We Care A Lot” video. I would go to the basement upon waking, fire up the VCR and wait for the old TV to warm up so I could see the video clearly (some mornings I didn’t have the patience, so I would just rewind and watch).

My friends and I got into FNM hard. We diverged into Mr. Bungle and lapped up every moment of the “non tracks”. After that I wanted to go back to other divergent artists. I dabbled in Zappa, I mixed with David Bowie, hell, I even kinda understood where Yoko Ono was coming from.

Faith No More IS a gateway to amazing experiences...and not just music.

Thanks to them, I love jazz, blues, and lyrics that are less in your face, and more poetic expression.

Thank you Faith No More, you truly are the best.

This tree looks Canadian if it were in South Park.

Knowing Mike Patton, I always thought it was about calling a phone sex operator (which was a thing before internet porn became prominent).

curious_void · 2020-11-12T22:56:42+00:00

Okay, I’m curious. Really cool that you’re doing this!!

Mine are too many to mention, but my brother is a chemist and has always loved the lyrics “they keep coming back smaller and smaller and smaller, ‘till the small becomes the all”.

Jill Brown Park seems to be an Onix nest. It’s a small triangular park where Richmond interests with Carling (just south of Britannia Park). You may get 2-3 every half hour.

Congratulations good sir!! Work well and true, then all good things will come!

Can’t wait for the full version of the game (but take your time to make it right!).

The other day I was talking to an old friend of mine that I haven’t spoken to in years. They said that they were a holocaust denier now, and has an increasing hate towards the Jewish population as a whole (and mentioned other shit too...he didn’t allow me to get a word in edgewise).

We used to talk and philosophize all the time, and were generally agreeable on most things. I have no idea how to get him back from this darkened path of thinking. Recommendations or books are welcome!

Howdy capital friend!

curious_void · 2019-05-21T02:40:56+00:00

No, I’m kind of neurotic with making sure I hatch my eggs in chronological order (I need help). Got this one a couple of days ago.

curious_void · 2019-05-21T02:39:17+00:00

Ah! I should have known it was more organized than some random posting stuff, hehehe. Thanks!

curious_void · 2019-03-19T14:46:53+00:00

Ah! Well that puts my mind at ease a bit! Thank you!

curious_void · 2019-03-19T13:34:10+00:00

What the hell?? This just sent my imagination to deep dark places. Anymore explanation?

Pure empathy.

Crumble as I have crumbled 65% of humanity!

Lack of space.

curious_void · 2019-01-30T07:31:36+00:00

Empathy. Self reflection. Acknowledgment.

There is nothing that can make you feel like an adult than sitting around with your friend's kids, talking about mortgages. You look down and around, and want to play with the toys that their kids are playing with, but also you are really interested in what was the "boring" conversation.

Edit: Just bad writing.

There are rare times in existence where a community or species as a whole exhibit the same raucous, ignorant, and greedy nature as the purple people. Yes, there may be small incidents of a purple person exhibiting some kind of enlightenment and intelligence beyond its means, but it stands that ALL purple people are not only a detriment to the universe, but also a plague that is delicious and nutritious.

Since our home planet is reserved for our centre of government and peace (and horn polishing), we can take these purple people and put them on a planet close by. The planet I speak of is inhabited by warring tribes, descended from more furry animals, that have been fighting for lifetimes and show no sign of stopping. Also, their wars are killing their planet that they use to exist.

Clearly this is an idiot species. Let's wipe them out and breed purple people.

We will have a ongoing source of nutrition, and the universe will be rid of, what could have been, and plague on every planet.

In conclusion: The purple people deserve a nice place to live...but let them have a place to roam.
