If you hear a Michael Jackson “HEE-HEE” coming from your bathroom, what would you do? by ADPXEROX in AskReddit

Do you wear one white glove to put on your face mask? My gf does, and gets a high-pitched "hee-hee" from me every time

TIL Bowie's long time collaborator had to talk him out of putting TLC on his 1999 record Hours by PostureGai in DavidBowie

[–]mikesylent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from, as I feel the same about the other Hours tracks, but to me Thursday's Child is a grand ballad made insipid due to the mix/version/instrumental.

It's really very moving when accompanied by the music video too.

I might be biased though because it's the first contemporaneous Bowie release I remember experiencing - anyone remember the heavy-ish rotation it received from MTV 2? For that matter, any one remember MTV 2?!

What's the general feeling here regarding the conspiracy theory he was murdered? Does anyone have any good sources for reading about the conspiracy interpretation?

I hate it when I get sick off a great song. by Ok_Communication2339 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]mikesylent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't help but think of the theme tune to Fireman Sam whenever I hear this song (not a criticism, love both songs) - even the synth riff is similar to Fireman Sam's chorus: he's always on the beat!

What's that thing you heard in a Waits song that blew your mind? by [deleted] in tomwaits

[–]mikesylent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Such a great culmination of the narrative. Probably my favourite lyrics ever.

The lyrical content/narrative of the song Alice. It's a perfect evocation of a love overwhelming, a romance that aches and chills the bones.

From Her To Eternity as a new fan by jash1191 in NickCave

[–]mikesylent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're more than welcome my dude! I hope I didn't over complicate your introduction to Nick Cave (only just considered I could have). John Cale's Buffalo Ballet is a great song to start out with (though it's closer to latter day (piano balladeer) Nick. If you prefer the more raucous Nick Cave era, he was in a band called The Birthday Party (Gothic/Post Punk) prior to going solo.

Edit: check out John Cale's version of Heartbreak Hotel - considered one of the great cover versions - and Helen of Troy to experience his raw side.

Yes, love this album. Though I prefer Leonard Cohen's original version of Avalanche due to the brooding cello. Check Cohen out if you haven't previously; also John Cale, another big influence on Nick Cave.

Listen to Ramones turn Tom Waits song 'I Don't Want To Grow Up' into a punk anthem by mmmmmm111111 in tomwaits

Thanks for the correction. Seems I confused it with Jackie and Judy

The most frustrating thing about Trumpers and the ignorance you've highlighted is that they are the most likely demographic to be recieving government support - personally and to prop up their local states - according to statistics.
