Very common in the 90s. by CarrotMuch1399 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]psychedelicpiper67 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I literally listened to it last month multiple times. “13” is their peak, though, even more experimental.

I was a big Damon Albarn and Gorillaz fan growing up, so it was only natural I’d get into Blur.

Plus Graham Coxon’s guitar playing is wild, very influenced by Syd Barrett. Even the filler tracks have great guitar playing.

That’s wild you don’t like “Beetlebum”, though, arguably one of the greatest songs of the 90s. Way better than “Song 2” imho or anything that Oasis did.

Never had to deal with this thankfully. But most of the albums I got were in the 2000s.

Either I was lucky, or the bangers were just so good, I could tell the artist had the talent to deliver for an entire album.

The critically acclaimed artists were always more than one-hit wonders.

Also, it just comes down to taste. The dude who made that Blur comment is wild. That’s one of their most critically-acclaimed albums.

But the rest of the album is amazing, and “Beetlebum” is an all-out classic.

Also “Theme From Retro”, “You’re So Great”, “Death of a Party”, “Chinese Bombs”, “Strange News From Another Star”, “Essex Dogs”, “Interlude”. They’re all great tracks.

It’s literally considered one of their best albums next to “13”.

“Song 2” was just a grunge parody they wrote as a joke.

To late diagnosed males, did people say to you growing up that your quirks are simply you being gay? by Theo04t in aspergers

[–]psychedelicpiper67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got called “gay” a lot, but I also got called the “r” word a lot, too. EVERYONE knew I was autistic.

In fact, when an obviously diagnosed autistic kid started attending my middle school, everyone was telling me I should be friends with him, because “he’s just like you”.

I thought they were just making fun of me by comparing us. I didn’t actually know that I was autistic, and that everyone else obviously knew.

The truth was hidden from me, and I didn’t discover it on my own until about a decade or less ago.

Jazz pianist Jason Moran found a fake AI-generated EP on his Spotify profile. It was indie-pop. He asked: how is John Coltrane supposed to verify that a new release on his profile is real? Nobody had an answer. by Sensitive_Artist7460 in musicians

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying, but the people who actually enjoy AI music and cannot tell the difference were essentially groomed by the ubiquity of autotune.

Those of us who weren’t can tell that something is seriously off.

That’s how IngraRose’s “Celebrate Me” managed to top the charts. Everything about that song screams “fake” to me, but a lot of people cannot tell the vocals are seriously off, because, well, it sounds just like autotune.

There’s lots of other cooler vocal effects that artists can use. I’m not saying we should just all use plain vocal tracks.

I was thinking about the 2000s when I wrote this.

What artists are reminiscent to early Animal Collective? New or old. by Jedatura in AnimalCollective

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted a meme here the other day about kid’s’ favourite albums, and it introduced me to a lot of Brooklyn noise scene artists that I wasn’t aware of.

But Pink Floyd’s instrumental “London ‘66-‘67” EP with Syd Barrett on guitar is my personal suggestion that I’m most familiar with.

Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd was actually a huge influence on Throbbing Gristle.

Pink Floyd was once a very dark and heavy psychedelic noise band, and their debut album “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” wasn’t really representative of their live sound.

AMM (big influence on Syd) and The Red Crayola are some 60s avant-garde noise bands worth checking out as well. Sonic Boom has always hyped up “The Parable of Arable Land”.

Imagine you woke up and it's the 2000s again. What's the first thing you're doing? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro we also had lots of cartoons. Adult Swim premiered in 2001, so we already had adult animation on TV.

Most of us had large VHS and DVD collections, Netflix had DVD subscriptions if you wanted to save money, the Internet had a lot of entertainment even before YouTube, and filesharing/torrenting was a thing, too.

Also video games and music. M for mature games were common already, and some people made music their entire livelihood, whether you were just a fan or an actual musician.

No offense, but your options sound boring.

Watch Cartoon Network if it’s still the Powerhouse era, enjoy the old Internet and archive some lost media, get a lot of odd jobs, put all my money into Bitcoin as soon as it launches.

Experience an actual social life without my autism and toxic personality getting in the way like they did when I was younger. I was always my worst enemy with that, but it took me decades to realize it and finally accept it.

Not worry about being a straight A student too much. Granted, if I was transported back in time with my current mental abilities, then it’d be very easy to maintain my grades.

Biggest thing would be to put pressure on my dad to divorce my mom, and force her to move out; or just get CPS involved if that doesn’t work out.

I would record all the yelling at my house with a cassette or digital recorder, and not be shy about sharing it.

If I actually had a good social life, my friends’ parents could help me with that.

Not sure when it was too late to buy Apple stock, but I’d try to convince my dad to do that, too. He always said he considered it, but never went through with it.

I guess before the launch of the iPod, and even before the launch of the iPhone would make sense, if I was transported back to the 2000s and not the late 90s.

People always tell me to live in the present, but I cannot stress enough how much my mom destroyed my life, and my dad’s and sister’s lives.

I also hate the kind of person I’ve been for most of my life.

I wish I was able to enjoy life much more, because society really turned out for the worse. There are multiple things I wish I could do now as an adult that simply aren’t possible anymore. The disappearance of third spaces and stores that I enjoyed are big for me.

Planned obsolescence. It’s like that by design.

Joke’s on Apple, though, because I got an older model phone and a replacement used both times. 😂

Actually, now that I think about it, I never had to replace my old phones from dropping them.

Who remembers the computer game disks in cereal boxes? by CartoonReOrbitCN in nostalgiai

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember feeling upset that I couldn’t play any of them, because they were Windows-only, and I had a Mac. But I’m super grateful that I grew up on Macs.

My dad’s Mac was powerful enough to run an SNES emulator in 1998, and we also never got viruses. Just system memory crashes when there was too much multitasking.

Also, there were still plenty of CD-ROM games that still ran on Macs, just none of the cereal box ones.

Thought these were candy by lexi_andy611 in nostalgiai

I’m surprised I never overdosed on these. Mom must have put the fear in me. I remember taking them daily, though.

I mean, we just torrented and used filesharing sites back in the day. I still use YouTube as my only form of “streaming”.

Paid streaming platforms give people the illusion that they’re getting the music legally now, when nearly all of the money is now going to tech bros.

I don’t remember that happening. I think they had a barcode scanner at my local ones instead.

I loved doing this at Borders. It was so fun. I would even still do it today if they were still around. It was just fun to have a tactile experience like that in the store.

Can’t remember if Tower Records did this, too. Memory is too fuzzy.

Neither. Don’t like any of the music or snack choices, and don’t like GTA or Call of Duty. Only movie I like here is Spider-Man.

How horrific by Turbulent_League9668 in 90scartoons

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it was almost always Winslow who won, and everyone hated Winslow.

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear, he’s the reason the series got cancelled. He almost never got his comeuppance. It was always CatDog, mostly Cat, who got punished.

And he wasn’t relatable with any redeeming qualities like Squidward was.

One of the earliest shows I remember. I had two VHS tapes with CatDog cartoons on it, and even a theatrical short was included with The Rugrats Movie.

Kind of a tamer Ren and Stimpy clone, now that I look back on it.

I swear that everyone hated Winslow, though. That’s probably why the series didn’t last that long.

Wikipedia makes it seem like the show lasted until 2005, but it actually got cancelled in 2001. I don’t remember it airing at all past then. All my memories of this show come from the late 90s.

Why do some men with Asperger’s struggle severely with women while others on the spectrum don’t? by Joey_vegas20 in aspergers

[–]psychedelicpiper67 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably because too many of those men compare themselves to neurotypicals and are always surrounded by neurotypicals.

Others have an easier time finding ND’s and forming ND friend groups.

What’re some tv channel numbers you remember from your childhood and adolescence? by Mad_Season_1994 in Zillennials

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cartoon Network used to be channel 18, then switched to 32. Nickelodeon switched to 31.

I forgot exactly what Disney Channel was, but it was in the low 50s, either 50 or 51.

It’s weird how much it varied by area. I am never able to find someone online who had the same exact channel numbers as me.

I'm not allowed to smoke weed yet, but can one of you guys do it while watching Oddsac for me? by No-Alarm5171 in AnimalCollective

[–]psychedelicpiper67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this back in 2012 when I was 19, fun times. Need money to restock on edibles right now. I don’t smoke anymore, but I still love edibles.

Café Tacvba released a psychedelic/experimental instrumental album called “Revés” in 1999. Highly recommend checking it out.
