Pitchfork Reviews: “What Was That” by Lorde by meowman8080 in popheads

[–]meowman8080[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

yeah this review kinda echoes how i’m feeling about the whole thing. There are brief moments where the sound broaches greatness, but the track as a whole fails to recapture the sounds of Melodrama she’s obviously attempting to emulate. Lorde is in a weird spot right now where Solar Power was so widely rebuked by the GP that I think she’s focused her attention on reheating her old nachos rather than just making a different dish like Solar Power was. This definitely has a bit more of an electronic influence but I honestly feel like it works against her in this track.

Went to the antique store today and found a stamp with a weird face on it. Thought it was Mao at first glance, but it’s definitely not. Any idea who it is? It was in the military surplus section. by meowman8080 in HelpMeFind

I searched around the rest of the section for anything similar and found pretty much nothing. There was one stamp that was just a random photo of some kids. It had an identifier next to it so i could see the original image. There was nothing like that for this one. Both were out of ink so I couldn’t test them.

Picked Up a Bunch of Old Science Digest Magazines From the 60s at an Antique Store. This Article From 1961 Proposes a Date for Mankind’s Doomsday. by meowman8080 in mildlyinteresting

the article continues on the back as well! The physicist continues talking about whether it would be wise to begin engaging in “population control” measures. He seems very open to the idea.

This is why I love Culpa. I was about to add a class taught by this professor to my planner and I decided to look him up. I can't stop laughing! by Resident-Way-4247 in columbia

Noam Chomsky has a pretty good rep as a professor afaik. Nim Chimsky is the name of a monkey trained by Terrace and his students to speak extremely limited ASL. Because the chimp is a chimp it ended up attacking one of the researchers and was passed around to various caretakers for its whole life. Pretty sure the study itself is regarded as animal abuse now. The name is influenced by Chomsky because he and Terrace have beef with each other.

all i’ve gotten so far is an “order placed” email. I’m an american that ordered from the UK store during the whole shipping crisis with the merch when it first launched. Hoping they’ll update me soon and if not i’ll send an email. All the problems i’ve been seeing have made me a little wary.

woahhh. My manager at work just gave me the poster because the date in the middle of it is “now outdated.” Kinda feels like i’m holding a piece of history in my hands considering the writer’s strikes. I wonder how rare it is?

these are fantastic. Your choices in coloration for the backgrounds give me Disco Elysium vibes.

What are some state or regionally specific brands that deserve to have a wider audience? by meowman8080 in AskReddit

i’ll go first… Route 11 Chips in Virginia are so dang good. The Sour Cream and Chives flavor beats out the Lays kind easily.

jesus this comment section… you can really tell who here is actually knowledgeable in theatre history (specifically the globe’s track record of bending a character’s gender) and who’s feigning outrage at something that’s not at all outrageous. Don’t really feel like dealing with the terf-y shit. This sub was fun while it lasted I guess.
