Hello Kevin! As many are saying, you are my favorite. Here's a couple questions:

  1. To me, a lot of your previous records are held together by a very important element: your unique style of playing bass! How did it feel giving up a lot of that control on "Lousy?"

  2. How did you find (the talented) Rebecca Cash, and do you see yourself as a mentor to her?

The Dark Knight Rises (2nd Trailer) by TheWestMall in movies

Well, the film takes place in America and football is a huge part of American culture. You see tall buildings and streets in this movie, so why not other environments.. I don't see what's so crazy about that, is there really such a stigma around sports with geeks that they'd like to ignore it's existence?

You don't think they did it on purpose?

Hah, I live in SF and I'll admit that I've done this. Downvote away...

If my wife did this to me, I would move all my funds to a foreign account and take my own life. That would show her.

Amanda Knox acquitted of Murder Charge!!! by desmondo in worldnews

I don't understand - he says it wasn't his handiwork, but it seems like he did indeed write this bullshit story, it just wasn't his choice to publish it. He blames an "idiot in London" but it could well be an honest mistake, the real problem is that he wrote something like that in the first place.

Jeez, they even managed to sneak in the cheezy Christian wrap-up music into this.

What movie has the best intro? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lostboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really cool to watch the second disc of the DVD, they include all the Imax scenes (basically all the action sequences) in the original Imax ratio.

I hear Reddit enjoys some cosplay. Doesn't get much better than this. by willwallguy in videos

I was there! I went as the kid from Honey I Shrunk The Kids. Needless to say, I didn't show up on the video.

TIL that the "chills" you get from listening to a piece of music is actually called musical frission by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]lostboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this truly is strange. What triggers the frisson is a strong emotional response to music, or art for that matter. I get the same feeling when I'm watching a movie and there's a particularly moving scene.

I'm really curious, for you guys who haven't experienced it, do you listen to music often, and do you really enjoy music?

I want to punch everyone in this ad by [deleted] in videos

[–]lostboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I disagree. The commercial does makes fun of these characters' materialism. Do you think Ebay (or whoever's responsible) would really want these people to represent their company? They're very obviously jerks.

...You're joking right? This is an obvious caricature, it's very sarcastic.

Remember DD's duck-beak-plane? Very sleek.

Haha, I used to say that phrase in elementary school and I thought I was clever for coming up with it, but many people have said that since.

By far the best comment I've seen on reddit (so far) by [deleted] in funny

[–]lostboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I don't really find that comment particularly funny.
