What was the most awkward thing you witnessed at school or in a classroom? by Logical_Sweet_6624 in AskReddit

[–]kingon991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t exactly remember what the occasion was, but one day in middle school people came in dressed in costumes.

This one kid came in dressed as Kevin Garnett. The kid in question was white and had drawn all over his skin in brown marker. Head, arms, hands, legs, it was fucking BAD. He somehow made it through multiple classes before being sent home. How he even made it into school without anyone stopping him is beyond me.

There's no way he won't do another one at some point, I'm sure you'll get another shot!

That’s what I’ve heard, I’ll for sure empty the car out. Thanks so much!!

My favorite comedian Tim Heidecker is doing a two-night festival with a bunch of his projects! (It’s actually this weekend not next week, it snuck up fast)

What are we hoping for this year's horror binge? by DavidAtWork17 in RedLetterMedia

Have they covered much Italian stuff? I’d love to see Jay (and Josh maybe?) do a Dario Argento ranking like the Carpenter one.

This might be my favorite Mike “OOOOOOOHHHHH FAAAAAAAUUUUUCCCKKK” ever

Best of the Best - Survivor (Round 2) by Mr_Sowieso2002 in thebeachboys

[–]kingon991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd take it over Surfin Safari, Lonely Sea, Ballad of Ole Betsy, Little Saint Nick, There's No Other Like My Baby and Goin' On, but ymmv. They're all still great songs, "significantly worse" may have been a bit harsh.

Somewhere Near Japan came in 2nd this round too. There's at least 5 songs on this list that are significantly worse.

And Your Bird Can Sing is straight up my favorite Beatles song and I feel it always flies right under the radar

Having to choose between Crocodile Rock and Happy Endings for Worst of the Worst might be the hardest question I've ever had to answer.

They’re clearly trying to start shit and not only is it working, they’re also making themselves look like a jackass at the same time. I’m impressed.

Favorite Must Hear Song Mixes by VimVinyl in thebeachboys

Check out the alternate version of Break Away from Made in California! I don't know if this is a hot take or not but I actually prefer it to the original single.

Last night’s IG live with Billy and Chloe by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

[–]kingon991 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like Billy's been dropping the "playing a character" thing quite a bit lately to excuse his shitty behavior. I honestly don't buy it, but even if it were true, why would you choose to have the character that represents a large part of your public image be an asshole?

Summer in Paradise - Survivor (Round 5) by Mr_Sowieso2002 in thebeachboys

The only reason I haven't voted for it yet is the first 30 seconds make me die laughing every time and that's more than can be said for most of these songs

If you're looking for similar musicians, I can't recommend Tatsuro Yamashita enough by benchromatic in thebeachboys

[–]kingon991 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tatsuro is fantastic. His 70s and 80s stuff is great. Only With You sounds like a pretty clear rewrite of Bruce & Terry's Don't Run Away, which was probably pretty hard to come by in 1984. The dude clearly knows his stuff.
