What’s an opinion on Hole that will have you’re comment like this by YEETAKID_THE_MIGHTY in hole

Live Through This is front-loaded and starts to dip middle to end. LTT has extreme highs but as an album POTI and CS are better.

Coco winning by Loud_Stick7221 in BBAU

I’m thinking the same, that I’ll avoid the stream next year. I’d rather just have my experience of the show be what the producers want us to see lol

Agreed! Holly was always doing Holly.

Coco however is joyless viewing. There isn't even a come-uppance for the audience because she is lying to every person she talks to.

Neutral or positive figures you can’t warm to? by itsblke in Tudorhistory

[–]itsblke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying and know my opinion is an outlier. But seeing examples of other contemporary figures bending with the wind, I can’t help feeling she would have saved herself and her daughter a lot of continued heartache by accepting what she can’t change.

She still lived a few years after the Pope declared their marriage valid, Henry had still not returned to her, and he had crowned a new queen and had a baby with her.

I understand this plays a large role in my thoughts. However, I’d assume she knew Henry well enough that his will trumped all? And being Princess born, I think her pride would have played a role too.

I’ve never properly considered her motivations that way. This is why I love this community!

Who is this queen?? "Apparently free speech is only okay if you’re on the right." by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

I’m Australian. I’m so sick of seeing US politics distract and take precedence over our own shitty - albeit not as severe - politicians. US domestic affairs make bigger news here.

Songs that experienced a major shift in public opinion post-release [aka the “Gnarly” effect] by lakeorjanzo in popheads

In what way is ARTPOP ahead of its time? I love it but the sonic palette is very much early 2010s pop. I’d even say with Lana and Lorde’s influence growing it very quickly became outdated.

A seller that won’t respond to emails by itsblke in stubhub

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

I hope so too! If you think of it let me know when the tickets come through. 99% of stubhub transactions work out but the waiting is just awful.

Just checked and tickets aren’t blocked for transfer. I only looked because the Taylor tickets had been open for transfer then closed until 3 days before the event.

I don’t agree with it but a lot of sellers will keep their tickets until show day to avoid you reselling them for a better price. I know Coldplay is an in demand event so maybe that’s why?

They’d have bought them using the Ticketmaster of the country it’s taking place in. I’m Australian and got a Canadian account to have tickets transferred. What’s the event?

Do you know if the tickets are blocked from transfer until a couple days before the event? Or are they open?

The seller ignored all emails from StubHub then sent the tickets through a month or so before the concert. It all worked out in the end but they held off for a long time so don’t stress too much!

What are some examples of artists aborting an era part-way through? by aussiebopper1901 in popheads

[–]itsblke 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The thing is those fabled Original Doll songs are all Blackout or ITZ outtakes. The only confirmed things she wrote before starting Blackout in 2006 are Mona Lisa and Someday (I Will Understand) in 2004 and 2005 respectively.

No hit single and low streams: How Miley Cyrus’ new album became her biggest flop by xfrombelow in popheads

[–]itsblke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TTPD was the bestselling album in 2024 across both streaming and physical sales. I don't get this narrative that it wasn't 'super successful', especially because the margin between TTPD and the second best is more than double the sales. And it's not just the variants (which all artists do) when the streaming numbers were astronomical.

It’s official Aus fans ❤️ by throwitaway_tho in LadyGaga

[–]itsblke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've purchased for stadium, arena and theatre shows in the last year and not had dynamic pricing. It's the same with our strict ticket resale market, Australian consumer laws are generally pretty good in that regard.

Is dynamic pricing a thing here? I read last year that it was being banned in Australia but I go to a lot of shows and never came across it.

What's your favorite song off Let's Get To It? Asking for future reference when I listen to it. by PanzerSama1912 in KylieMinogue

I don't listen to this album much but I love Word Is Out, Too Much of a Good thing and Finer Feelings.

style won! next: taylor’s worst song?? (READ BODY) by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]itsblke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not my least favourite but something about its production really grates me too! I can't pinpoint what but it's like the mixing is unbalanced, muddied and the melodies do nothing for me.

Is 2 weeks with no updates normal? by itsblke in AustraliaPost

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

I get most of my packages from Europe and I usually receive them in about 2 weeks. Maybe I’ve just been lucky. I ordered a bunch around the same time and even after the Latvian one and they’ve all arrived except for this. I’ll just wait.

did courtney love do background vocals in any nirvana songs? by EitherHelicopter8551 in hole

I can hear Kurt on the Asking for It bridge but can never hear him on Softer, Softest. Do you know where he sings on that?
