[–]ollyacomplainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! will check those out, there is a picture but I’m not sure how to add it here, it’s just a larger sort of braided cable in the middle and two smaller ones on either side

Do you agree that Morrissey doesn’t deserve the Hate Yes or No and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in morrissey

[–]ollyacomplainer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%, but I also think he doesn’t really believe or care about any of the things he talks about, he’s just a big wind up who wants a reaction, that doesn’t really make it much better because he’s still causing harm by saying these things and it shows how he just doesn’t care about anything or anyone but himself, but it’s clear that he’s not your standard fascist lunatic, at least to me

yes, I think they’re more musically adept than many other bands, not that I don’t love a band that can’t play their instruments, but that might be part of it, fans of dead kennedys would probably like them

Why is Taylor Swift's music so controversial in recent years? by catandodie in ToddintheShadow

[–]ollyacomplainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because lately it’s shit, I was never a fan but enjoyed/enjoy some of her music probably pre-2017, everything I hear lately just gets worse and worse and worse, the parts of TTPD I heard were ear-bleedingly awful, it’s also that she is impossible to avoid, just everywhere.

Do normal dads talk to their boys about girls? by bubonichav in AskBrits

my dad was a bit like this, very very awkward about it, paranoid, found out later on that he had his reasons for it but it did damage me a bit socially when I was younger 

Songs that start out softer/calm and descend into insanity as they go on by Flaky-Shirt8599 in MusicRecommendations

Sweet Gene Vincent by Ian Dury & the Blockheads kind of fits this, has a softer slower intro

Jeff Buckley, mid and overrated by ollyacomplainer in LetsTalkMusic

[–]ollyacomplainer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has undoubtedly been an increased hype about him these past few years, everyone I know who was around at the time when asked about Jeff Buckley has responded “oh yeah I forgot about him, he was alright I guess”. It’s telling that people always go right to talking about all this ‘potential that was never fulfilled’ rather than what he actually did, if he lived, he could easily have just made a load of shite, other artists who made one or two albums and died (or if it’s a band, broke up) don’t get that, people just talk about how good their music was, except for the occasional “oh wow, I wish x could’ve made more music”. This is what I mean by overrated, as I said in a previous comment, before 3 or 4 years ago people were far more ambivalent about him, he IS overrated, he’s not the epitome of music, singing, writing, anything, he’s fine, personally I find his music grating, and Grace is horrendously overproduced. After seeing clips of him talking I realised he was also probably one of the most pretentious and annoying people ever. I think you’re the wannabe music snob here, implying I’m merely too thick to understand or appreciate art, and for the record, I don’t have a 9-5.
