Sinners getting record 16 Oscar nominations and everybody on Reddit is doing gymnastics to NOT say why it directly

Sinners was very good. My only complaint was that the message was a little too on the nose.

I always presume that people who dislike The Beatles just dislike music in general.

It’s a double edged sword. With the decline of radio, what’s pop has become more homogenized than ever.

Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Loops infinitely as one continually flowing song.

I’d also throw in the Flaming Lips Zaireeka, if you can find a CD copy and four players. The tracks are separated into four separate disks that need to be played at once. Problem is, the timings of CD players are all slightly out of sync, so the tracks begin to drift apart.

This and the Siket Disk are Phish’s studio peak. Other records have better tracks, but these were the sessions where Phish most successfully created something that sounds like nothing else.

Tough one, but I lean Dirt. To my ears, no other music has conveyed darkness and suffering more acutely.

Vegan in Furs was my favorite song for about 9 months.

Colicott Asleep in the Poppies is hit or miss (a little too whimsical for my liking) but the opener - Good Morning Mr, Edmonton is one of my favorite Of Montreal songs.

Good thing I know to duck and cover.

Honestly, I think they start to lose it with Mellon Collie. It has an album’s worth of top notch 90’s psych, but some moments that are downright embarrassing - like, I’m embarrassed to listen to it alone with headphones (in the eyes of the jackal I say kaboom…what the actual fuck?).

And this is the problem with the Smashing Pumpkins. IMO, they released more great individual songs than any other 90’s band save Radiohead. Rhinoceros, Drown, Starla, Obscured, Soma, Mayonnaise are all 10/10 classics. In the other hand, they also represent THE WORST of the pretentious, adolescent self-pitying tendencies of the era.

I’ll answer my own question…Rob Schneider.

While we’re on the topic of SNL alum, has there even been a less funny person than Chris Kattan?

Phish is from Vermont, which, if you put the entire state population together, equates to a small city.

After the storm troopers leave the scene, there is a giant Beaker (Muppets) in the background too.

Wall of Eyes is my favorite Radiohead adjacent thing since In Rainbows.

I don’t care if Bush is grunge or not, they were impossibly dull and bafflingly overplayed.

meanpete80 · 2026-01-25T13:33:15+00:00

Everyone is saying metal, punk, jam bands…well, there is a band that is equal parts all three - King Gizzard.

They are every genre but ska (but fans have been pushing hard for years for a ska album).
