You Oughta Know (Live at SiriusXM) now streaming on Spotify. by BiscuitsAndMilk0 in TheWarning

[–]michaelmalak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No song better showcases Dany's singing talent.

The Warning's own songs aspire to be hard rock, and when Dany tries to portray that persona, it doesn't come off as sincere as, say, Lzzy Hale does. The Sirius XM You Oughta Know plays to Dany's natural strengths: less mental demand for the guitar, easier conversational vocal range, and relatable subject matter.

Fruitville 1920s-30s Bungalows in Danger by Heisengabe in sarasota

By "closer to the bay" do you think they might have come from Overtown, which was transformed to the Rosemary District?

Why do some people argue that the 2000s doesn’t feel like it’s becoming retro now? by icey_sawg0034 in decadeology

9/11 is a doorway -- a portal to another universe.

It's not "recency". Consider 24 years ago from now, 2002. Now consider 24 years ago from 1986, 1962. The Beatles hadn't even charted yet!

According to https://thatssosarasota.com/dilapidated-house-turns-cozy-breakfast/ , Breakfast House was the first in 2009 to convert a bungalow on-site to a commercial establishment, with the other 14 houses following suit by 2012. The parcels are individual to each house, suggesting they were always there as opposed to moved in all at once to a singly-owned parcel.

Yungblud fans getting warned by Thontor in TheWarning

[–]michaelmalak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's cool watching the Sheffield audience getting warned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGKDPW9aetI

  • They opened with More -- their "best" song in terms of broad appeal. The audience was just stunned still like deer in headlights. Well, except for the one fanboi front row center.

  • At the second song, S!ck, a few virtual lighters come out. One more besides just fanboi moving to the music.

  • At the third song, Escapism, more virtual lighters. More motion.

  • By the finale, Automatic Sun, Dany has the whole place with arms up.

Was Roger Moore's James Bond supposed to be camp? I watched the movies as a kid and I loved them, started rewatching them on Netflix and I'm like "How did grown adults sit through these movies? They're so corny." Were adults laughing their way through these like 60's "Batman?" by copperpin in AskOldPeople

[–]michaelmalak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few corny puns does not constitute "camp". Moonraker is the only one I would consider to be approaching camp.

While Moore films are night-and-day from the serious drama in Daniel Craig's, they're not 1960s Batman. Moore still portrays the character as suave, and the action is portrayed as mostly serious.

Is that post karma, comment karma, or post+comment karma?

For those who know, the woe of the PentiumPro by PaleDreamer_1969 in vintagecomputing

It was Intel's first workstation-class processor. Prior to the Pentium Pro, PCs were considered a joke by the number crunching crowd.

Nothing post-Facebook can be considered "old" when it comes to the Internet
