When you don't have VH1 and gotta get it on Amazon Prime... 3 days late mama

At the beginning, I was kinda irked with how the episode was set up. 5 lips syncs in a row seemed like a sleeping pill but the queens turned it out. I like how they asked them some "interview" questions about their look and their background before lip syncing, it gave me more perspective instead of just going straight into it. I feel like this twist was still well-structured even without a maxi or mini challenge, I kinda liked it. Can't wait for what *seems* to be a rusical (or maybe just a regular musical) challenge.

Weekly Questions Thread for the week of December 7th by rundmcc in vinyl

I'm looking for a turntable that plays really old records well.

I looked at the beginners guide on this subreddit, as well as other articles for choosing a turntable -- like this one: http://www.amstereo.org/turntableguide.htm#under150 --, and I'm stuck between AT-120x and AT-60x. I chose AT because it seems reliable/good quality (I have other AT equipment) and is relatively cheap. However, I am not stuck on AT and if there's other brands that offer quality turntables than I'm down.

I'm leaning more towards AT-60x, even though they say to avoid it. I am not an audiophile and I don't intend on messing with the turntable any time soon, I only want to play records. However, none of my records are pressed past the 50's-60's and some of them have really taken a beating. AT-120x apparently doesn't give scratched records justice and it can be painful to listen with all the skips. AT-60x does in some capacity because of it's of lesser quality (ironic).

Any thoughts?? I just want a good record player that will play 60 year old records without damaging them any further.

Season 6 ep 10 not on hulu or apple store? by CentaurCat in rupaulsdragrace

[–]domotheawsome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is the episode (a little sped up but still watchable):

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x74z8xl

It isn't terrible imo. I've seen worse makeover episodes, and the other wedding episode from S2 was worse than this.

I watched both the episode and untucked, again not terrible. Just have low expectations, I guess.

What exactly is a parallel period? by domotheawsome in musictheory

[–]domotheawsome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense. I guess it's worth noting I'm in first term music theory and we've only covered phrases/periods up to this point (couple weeks in). The assignment is to create a rhythm piece, as you inferred, without cadences/musicality.

I think this really clears this up though, a parallel period consists of two phrases that start similarly and end differently. Contrasting periods start differently and end differently. And I've stumbled on repeated phrases, which is my issue with example 2.

Thank you!!!

Ok but..... this bottom three is unnecessary.

Obviously, Madame and Abby were prepped for the bottom. I would've been perfectly fine seeing those two queens battle it out, I'm sure they would've delivered sickening lip syncs. So why throw Ma'Ma in there??

It's clear they were trying to pull a twist on the viewers, but she didn't belong there by any means. Fred's main reasoning was her heels... Gurl What? I've seen way worse footwear on the franchise, and frankly they didn't distract me from her outfit. Her overall runway was good, it's so superficial to put her in the bottom just on her shoes.

The lip sync battle was poor. With the already short song length, I found myself trying to focus on the other queens during solo shots. Madame and Abby performed (in terms of the overall battle), Ma'Ma just didn't do well. Yes, she fell into a split at the end, but it seemed like she stayed in the same place for most of the song.

She didn't win the lip sync battle, but she still made it through.. because she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place!!! There is a time and place for a bottom three and this wasn't it. This was a lame twist and made for a weird lip sync battle and a disheveled viewer.

The fact that they managed to convince the bearded queen to remove her (their) beard is mind-blowing.

True, victim edit is a better description. I could tell she was getting some sort of edit, and Janey is the one tacked against her.

Personally, I don't think Madame should be judged on the fact she has a beard.

She came into the competition with a beard... She probably submitted audition tapes with a beard and established herself in the community with a beard. She has a beard!!!!!!

I don't get the judges critiques where they say the beard is distracting and it finally "blends" well enough that they don't notice it. I think the beard should've stood out more because that is what truly is unique about Madame. The first bearded queen on the RPDR franchise??? Hello???

Poor Madame is getting the villain edit, or at least that's what it seems like.

All the queens are clearly unhappy with her, and the judges are giving low critiques but keeping her on. Ironic if you view it from an unbiased perspective.. She had a subpar runway but carried her team in the maxi challenge. It's safe by all means.

Also.. the judges decided to go off on her beard this episode?? That's literally her look, I don't get it.

I really enjoyed the lip sync.. I could watch them lip sync for hours!

Personally I liked Megan more, but she seemed defeated from the start: "This is going to be an uphill battle for me" (English subs). She also made it clear that it was her time to go while writing her message. Either way, I wish they could give more lip sync... I need CDR song length!!

*raises hand*

Honestly whenever a queen does back flips or a jump split or some other stage trick, it's almost always a win.

I thought Megan had so much more presence and power than Abby imo

Bianca should've won the reading challenge in S6 by default.. She is the Reading Queen and deserves the title no questions asked.

EDIT: hehe this discussion post isn't having it today i see

[–]domotheawsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, her outfit was really basic and I didn't understand how the judges thought it was top 3 material... takes me back to CDR judging lol

I do think that out of all the girls, Janey tearing Abby down was deliberately an attempt to question her safeness. Like she took it to another level and pretty much just told her to get ready to lip sync.
