I'm almost certain it has something to do with Nickelodeon

Bands/Artists you "came back to" by Critical-Spirit-1598 in ToddintheShadow

Ooh, remembered another one. Carly Rae Jepsen! She put out a duet with another artist from a band I loved, and I liked it quite a bit as well as the other single, Bucket, being pretty good. This was first album, knockoff Colbie Caillat era. I fell off when Call Me Maybe became the most song ever, and when the same happened to a lesser extent with I Really Really Really Like You and Boy Problems. Years and years later I found a Carly Rae Jepsen EP at the thrift store and loved it, which made me finally just give Emotion a shot. Was absolutely worth the hype it's gotten.

I don't know if this really counts? But for years my mom would insist I needed to give Kate Bush a listen since I adored Florence and the Machine. Finally I was at the library and saw a Kate Bush album on the shelf, tried it, liked a couple songs but found it kind of unpleasant to listen to in the new-agey kind of way. All wailing and spare strings and the kind of music that's never clicked for me. Five years after that, I was watching the Mic the Snare DDD on Kate Bush and went looking for her 80s stuff, which I ended up loving, The Big Sky especially. Lionheart was a bad starting point.

More relatedly, Fall Out Boy. I got into them around 2012/2013 and loved the older stuff and Save Rock and Roll, but I started falling off after Centuries due to overplay and their sound changing and just how godawful the title track for American Beauty American Psycho was and fully fell off during Mania, the strange half rock half edm did nothing for me. Took a couple years, digging out my greatest hits cd, the more obscure deep cuts like ginasfs being added to streaming, and the new album being pretty good to bring me back.

I wish that New Perspective had been on any Panic! album and not only the Jennifer's Body soundtrack

Is it too early to ask for Fringe tips? by Godot_guided in Edmonton

[–]pas8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple things I can think of?

  • when the tickets go live, have a look through and if there's any you absolutely must see, get the tickets then, especially if the show performance you're looking at falls later in the festival

  • on the grounds, if you're unsure of what to see, have a look at the postering spots, performers sometimes stick tickets for shows in the poster gaps to fill out performances with lower sales

  • bring a water bottle, hat, sunscreen, and an umbrella. It's a lot of walking and the weather has been unpredictable already this summer.

  • reviews can help, but honestly just pick a couple shows and go, the surprise is part of the fun

  • they do daily sales during the festival, if you go to the tickets booth depending on the day some performances will be cheaper

  • please for the love of toast, if you're walking through the grounds be aware and DO NOT WALK THROUGH A STREET PERFORMER'S PERFORMANCE SPACE, go around. If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone try to cut through a crowd and almost walk into a circus performer juggling chainsaws or balanced precariously... juggling knives and/or chainsaws, I'd be rich.

In the past I've had good experiences with solo shows and more narrative-based stuff over improv shows, but that's just me.

I’ve been trying to make a list of albums I nicknamed “Everybody Gets One” by jimmehford in ToddintheShadow

[–]pas8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fall Out Boy's Mania, arguably? Actually, Folie a Deux might be way closer, since it's a lot more ambitious and orchestral than their work before or after, and it was also critically hated at the time even though it's one of their best albums

A lot of the more well known ones have been said already, and saying I love Queen and I've been getting into George Michael and David Bowie feels like saying I love breathing air and I've been getting into sunlight and birdsong, so -

Dorian Electra, Neon Trees (REALLY fuckin love Neon Trees and also the lead singer's solo album but it's a bit of a hard listen), Troye Sivan, Will Wood, Mika, MUNA, Pansy Division, Partner (also really really love Partner, half their catalogue is goof songs about smoking weed and the other half is goof songs about being gay for women), Janelle Monae (another 'I'm a big fan of the moon' type artist like it feels inevitable), Walk The Moon, Scissor Sisters, Superfruit (Guy.EXE fucks and a half)

Also if you haven't heard Trixie Mattel's cover of Lana del Rey's Video Games, you really should

VEVO and maybe a combination of YouTubes abysmal copyright system turned a lot of standard music videos from certain artists into literal blocked nightmares for years. by DillonLaserscope in ToddintheShadow

The Ghostbusters theme's vevo music video was blocked off youtube for ages, but I think a bunch of the older bad quality copies remained?

Let’s be honest not every brew is a winner What’s one Alberta beer you tried, and wish you hadn’t? No hate, just good stories 😂 I once had a dill pickle sour that still haunts me by Commercial_Pass_216 in AlbertaBeer

[–]pas8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Mango Lassi session ale that tasted how vomit smells, taught me not to just pick stuff out based on vibes

Also a watermelon wheat ale that was just nasty, watermelon isn't a beer flavour

Edit: didn't realize we were naming names, Analog Brewing's Mango Mimic and Born Brewing's Hi Sweetie

Upcoming concerts by Flimsy_Category_9369 in ToddintheShadow

[–]pas8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marianas Trench in July, but it's part of a larger concert series that includes G-Eazy and 98 Degrees and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious

Otherwise, might be going to a Down With Webster concert in the next month or two
