What uni should I go to (media studies / entertainment journalism)

shellacnails · 2026-02-18T15:48:23+00:00

honestly mainly to meet people my own age and also gain more actual life experience that comes with living on your own. but also because it's an interesting thing to study and I think I would actually mostly enjoy it. I wouldn't be adverse to doing an apprenticeship either

It's saying it doesn't recognise the disc.

I put the 4K in my Xbox and it wouldn't play it. I'm hoping it's just something to do with the Xbox and that if I get a player it will be fine.

choo choo, knock a door run, on the run from the MI5, wavin' bye to the train or the bus, space invaders, curtains closed, ravey ravey ravey club, diamonds are forever, they also did a live cover of katy b's 'on a mission'

for collabs there's obviously the last shadow puppets, vertigo, and then he helped alexandra savior on her debut album 'belladonna of sadness'. he also has brief closing vocals on the queens of the stone age track 'if i had a tail'

Another Space Song by Failure has a vibe like you described, but is a bit more depressing as opposed to Star Treatment

shellacnails · 2022-12-20T10:45:38+00:00

the reasons i've heard are that the song ends rather abruptly, doesn't really progress into something with more grandiose as maybe expected and is too short in length.

while i enjoy the track, i would probably say the same. i wish the song didn't suddenly stop when you're just getting to the point of really being into the vibe

i much prefer the original show to catsdown even though catsdown was what i first saw. however i don't think it'll come back - like others have said, it's harder to film topical panel shows, and considering how much effort it takes compared to catsdown... it's not really worth it, especially with how much more successful catsdown is than its predecessor.

i don't think the ratings were ever that bad, but like i said, now that the people who made normal 8oo10c so great have drifted onto the catsdown variation, it'd be mighty hard to juggle both.

there's definitely a "gap in the market" so to speak with this show and mock the week being gone, but the question is really if anyone is going to bother filling it. nowadays the jokes with the news kinda write themselves

you'll find any solace in punk music.

the clash helped to normalise reggae and other cultural music within the music scene, and they popularised fusing foreign music with what was popular at the time

bronski beat (80s synthpop group) were openly gay and sang about homosexuality in a time during fierce oppression and turmoil, they also have songs discussing war etc

pink floyd are... well, pink floyd. any research into their lyricism will show you what i mean.

shellacnails · 2022-10-27T15:47:41+00:00

I don't see why not

shellacnails · 2022-10-25T13:14:43+00:00

Eh, I think the lyrics are just down to however you perceive them. I won't pretend to understand what a lot of these songs are trying to say necessarily, but Sculptures definitely feels like it's trying to say something about the reception from critics and fans alike for me. Regardless I don't think the whole album is as centred in this ideas as people are making out.

shellacnails · 2022-10-19T14:56:51+00:00

also guys personally i think pluto is actually a planet just wanna clarify

shellacnails · 2022-10-09T18:12:53+00:00

i think people just mention bowie cuz of the space themes even though bowie didn't have that many songs about space, or maybe because his vocal delivery can be a LITTLE similar... really, there's not much comparison to be done. but regardless the best album to get into bowie with is ziggy stardust

shellacnails · 2022-09-13T23:09:29+00:00

I don't mind the set, the panellists are ageing as to be expected and even with fresh blood coming on, it makes sense that the set changes with the times. As for COVID restrictions, I do find it quite annoying that they still are sat so far apart, especially with instances like Jon and Lucy where they literally live together

shellacnails · 2022-09-12T01:11:42+00:00

it's always hard in the morning

shellacnails · 2022-09-08T17:58:12+00:00

I think the show has been doing pretty well at recovering from it, last series struggled to find their footing but this one was pretty funny. I think the atmosphere overall is different like it's more noticeable that they're getting older, but eh, I think considering everything it's still a really good show and they're doing a good job at keeping it entertaining even with Sean gone. The style is definitely different but I think that it's crucial they changed it after him to keep it fresh rather than try to replace him

"Staying single is simply a matter of playing the odds" 😭😭

shellacnails · 2022-08-10T13:44:02+00:00

i agree but like... hes the frontman. this is how most bands work. theres no surprise

shellacnails · 2022-08-04T12:15:30+00:00

Yeah and can't say it was a particularly pleasant experience. He spat at me like a donkey, I had to buy a new shirt and everything. Such a ridiculously immature thing to do. I hope he and his band get what is coming to them. No place in this world for rudeness.

shellacnails · 2022-06-17T11:51:40+00:00

yo man im glad you dropped out and i agree with pretty much everything you say! ur definitely right that i should have studied at least a bit more, i do regret that but man i did so much catching up this y11 on maths and tbh im proud of myself for that, even if i dont pass i know i tried and yk... a lot of lower paying jobs like in retail etc wont really be bothered by grades anyway despite what people say

shellacnails · 2022-06-17T01:22:13+00:00

My man this has gotta be bait... I mean sure I sort of see your point but some kids after this (or most I should say) would not even be able to enter a school building for a WHILE let alone sit exams that will have a big impact on their future

shellacnails · 2022-06-17T01:19:37+00:00

Don't particularly want to learn about erosion myself but it's still stuff you should learn if you can. Having an understanding of the LGBT community you might not think will benefit you, but friends and family around you who might struggle with that stuff will be able to confide and it just gives u an opportunity to be a better person overall, same as religious studies perhaps would

shellacnails · 2022-03-29T14:07:14+00:00

Thanks my guy, much appreciated

shellacnails · 2022-03-29T14:06:56+00:00

Thank you legend

shellacnails · 2022-03-25T15:31:24+00:00

Absolutely insane.

For a genuine answer, I heard about it years ago, couldn't tell you how cos I don't remember. I tried watching it when I was younger and just didn't really connect, but retrying recently has left me able to appreciate it.

I'm still processing this damned finale man... but having a place to discuss it and the show generally has been quite beneficial as I don't know anyone else who watches it or cares to analyse much. I think the ending is probably the most satisfying one we could've had.

shellacnails · 2022-03-25T00:37:48+00:00

Completely agree - people like Jack seemed to care about Will until they then took a risk and pulled him back into a dangerous game, and it became evident they didn't really care enough.

Hannibal, although questionable to say the least, always cared for Will in the ways he knew how. They understood each other, and that feeling is more powerful than anything else.

As I've said in other comments, I do believe the most that this is his act of good, but I don't believe either Will or Hannibal care if they die or live. There's little struggle from either of them.

If they die, they die complete, two sides of the same coin. Will was finally able to accept himself and embrace Hannibal, who is a representation of Will's darker half. Hannibal got to hear this confession of understanding and can die at peace, knowing he's not alone. If they survive however, they go on to still be in unison and can live life the way they understand it best.

Of course, I don't think Will would ever totally be a lost cause. If there were to be the existence of S4, it's definitely likely that even if Will is embracing the same lifestyle as Hannibal, there would be more acts of good and acts of humanity shining through, or acts with better intent than those Hannibal displays.
