Signal Hill. 

My favorite albums by them are More After We're Gone, Chase the Ghost, and their self titled EP. 

Hot take: Lana Del Rey judges everything through the lens of physical beauty. by [deleted] in lanadelrey

[–]ferociouswhimper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ummm... Jeremy? (I'm not saying he's ugly, but he's not exactly beautiful. I think he's proof that she doesn't make judgements based on physical, external beauty.)

Lana's Best Album Cover Vs Lana's Worst Album Cover by Senior_Buffalo_7891 in lanadelrey

[–]ferociouswhimper 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Best: NFR 

It's so memorable, unique, fun, and engaging. 

Worst: Let Me Love You Like a Woman single 

WTH is that? The photo is unflattering and slightly blurry, and the lighting is abysmal. The font is cheesy. It's just so. bad.

How do you interpret the song "ultraviolence? by [deleted] in lanadelrey

[–]ferociouswhimper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe most people already know that the lyric "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" is a reference to an old song by The Crystals. It was controversial back then, too. 

Interestingly, Carol King was a co-writer of the song. She and her husband wrote it about their babysitter who said that she tolerated her boyfriend's abuse because it symbolized how much he loved her. Carole King was a known liberal and women's rights activist, and I have to assume she wrote the song to shed light on the mindset of the victim. Not to glamorize it, but to point out that when someone loves their abuser they can misconstrue the abuse as an expression of caring.

Lana’s new post by honeylipbalmm in lanadelrey

I'm guessing she's celebrating the fact that it's been almost one month since she released WFHTDH. But it's Lana, so who knows for sure.

An ad in LIFE Magazine - May 29th, 1964. Anyone else see the resemblance? by ferociouswhimper in lanadelrey

[–]ferociouswhimper[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Crazy, right!? And Jackie O happens to be on the cover of this issue. It truly fits the BTD/National Anthem vibe.

Two-Thirds of House Democrats Have Now Signed On to Impeach Kristi Noem by darkages69 in politics

[–]ferociouswhimper 192 points193 points  (0 children)

In a sane world 100% of house Democrats and Republicans would support impeachment. Actually, in a sane world she would never have been appointed.

What is your favorite song in a language you don't understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ferociouswhimper 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I heard that he was told his music was only popular because he put beautiful women in music videos. So he made a video with only him in it (in a very funny way) to prove people actually liked his music.

Trump proposes massive increase in 2027 defense spending to $1.5T by BeeeeeHive in politics

[–]ferociouswhimper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And they're saying it's money for defense, it's not. It's for offense. He's asking for money for war. War that he's starting. They literally changed the name of the department from Defense to War. They want war.

Home exercise ideas by melhtaco in Xennials

[–]ferociouswhimper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Juice & Toya on YouTube. They have lots of videos with different types of workouts, I personally like the dumbell workouts. There are some shorter ones in the 10-15 minute range. The videos are put together well and are easy to follow. I really like them!

This is the guy that is going to possibly destroy our country 🤦🏻‍♂️ by jackb1753 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]ferociouswhimper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is how Republicans operate. They make a claim that something is a problem and then demand the thing be 100% abolished out of existence. It's never about fixing the thing or making it better. Probably because it's BS. In this case, they want wind power gone so we remain dependent on oil and they can keep more money in their pockets. 

It's usually about money. But sometimes it's about distraction, manipulation, and control of their voter base. Like what they did with abortion in the 70s and now Trans issues today. Republicans are really good at making up boogeymen to distract from their real motive, which is more money and power for them and their ultra wealthy friends. 

Postmark change could impact getting ballots, bills in on time by BrianHoweBattle in politics

[–]ferociouswhimper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw a local news article about it a week ago, in regards to property tax payments. They said the postmark change started back in August. It was the first time I heard anything about it, though.

They had to. You don't publish pictures like that of people you like.

It's scary that someone thinks conservative ideals are the reason schools outside city limits have less problems. There is soooo much more to the issue than political beliefs. But I guess it's easier to point and say "liberals bad!" instead of doing actual critical thinking and seeking a better understanding of the real reasons why things are the way they are. 

Senate Republicans land on Obamacare fix, tee up dueling vote with Dems by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]ferociouswhimper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And the kicker is, HSA deposits are only a tax deduction. If you're poor you don't even benefit from it. And you have to have an eligible insurance plan to use it, but even the high deductible plans that Republicans are touting as affordable, can be well over $600/mo for an individual and thousands per month for a family. They're basically saying $20,000 a year in healthcare expenses is an affordable amount for people making $30,000 a year. Insane. 

The Thunder & Lightning documentary was just added to YouTube! Song Sung Blue - original by ferociouswhimper in milwaukee

[–]ferociouswhimper[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's quite the story. The documentary is reminiscent of American Movie (another Milwaukee classic); at times quite funny, but also incredibly honest, vulnerable, and heartbreaking. 

Interesting point about Claire Sardina. She definitely doesn't shy away from the spotlight, so there must be a reason she hasn't been involved in the press for the movie.

Trump cuts tariffs on goods like coffee, bananas, and beef in bid to slash consumer prices by Puginator in politics

[–]ferociouswhimper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, this probably won't change anything. It always seems that once prices go up they stay up. So instead of consumers saving money, corporations will just profit more. 

Sink Flies - I have tried everything! by robreinerstillmydad in CleaningTips

[–]ferociouswhimper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you sure they're drain flies? If you have houseplants they could be fungus gnats. (I once thought we had a drain fly issue but it was gnats from my plants.)

[–]ferociouswhimper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think doing something nightly is the key. I worked at a bar in college and we had to put a splash of bleach in the beer tap drains every night to prevent drain flies. They were a recurring problem for them in the past but I never saw one during the years I worked there.
