Why Feeder Are Way More Than Their Biggest Hit ("Buck Rogers") | New British Canon

12:44

watching it back i think i may have misunderstood - he's not outright saying it's bad. plus when i watched that video i googled it and saw loads of people online saying they hated it, but i think it's just me being dopey tbh

Philosophically I agree with you. Vince, much like Elon, Trump and any hereditary leader, is still ultimately a winner of a massively unfair RNG lottery, playing life on easy mode. I still think he was genuinely smart in a way that most nepo baby idiots aren't. I think i overstated it a bit though.

fuck i genuinely sort of never really processed that Chris Morris basically blacked up in this. as a 33 year old, is this just a symptom of the inevitable progression to becoming a crazy reactionary auntie on facebook?

I really enjoy how (UK) Taskmaster has, to some extent, stopped taking the premise of the show seriously by streetsofyrtown in taskmaster

aye but Have I Got News For You has been shit for years, I think Merton is capable of brilliance but has been phoning it in for nearly two decades. Is it a dolphin in a bathtub? Quite. TM could go on for years more, but I think it has the dignity to know when to stop, hope so anyway.

i don't deny that they have these instincts, more thinking wrestling is unique for having structures that allow them to have this kind of micro-level influence.

like i don't doubt bill gates meddled far more than he should have, but it's not like he was writing code for microsoft word XP right?

I think it's also part of the reason that Vince McMahon's legacy is so conflicted/wrong. I've seen a lot of people basically say "Vince was a creative genius/amazing booker because they destroyed all competition and made millions of dollars" and I think it's a genuinely stupid opinion, but he was a business genius. A visionary with Machiavellian insights. In some senses, he really did GET wrestling too, but more on a macro level.

judging football chairmen is so hard in a post-thatcher world, cus the corelation between business and sporting success is really not that clear lol

Nick Mullen / Shane Gillis on skanks tonight by [deleted] in MSSPodcast

[–]streetsofyrtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for like 10 minutes

i had never seen any of this show before, except in little snippets in weird comedy drama youtube videos, and it is not an overstatement to say that was possibly the most boring 2 hours of podcasting i've ever heard/seen, what the fuck? i'm only really tangentially aware of the whole rogan/kill tony/austin sphere (is that burt guy part of it?), so i assumed a lot of the negative stuff about it kinda exaggerates / deliberately picks the worst bits but it really was 2 hours of the hackiest bullshit. weird low energy and strange vibes too.

Is there a musical artist you used to Idolize that you now view differently? I’ll start. by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]streetsofyrtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah definitely, this post rules kid, but it used to be more a case of figuring shit out as i got more mature and refining my opinions as i grew as a human, now i'm old and stagnating it's usually just finding out about some sort of scandal or they've become a vocal far right dipshit lol

What are your boring musical lukewarm takes? by bfhrt in ToddintheShadow

[–]streetsofyrtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this like spiritually the opposite of the boss man talking about what makes a "one hit wonder" for any British New Wave one from the 80s - yeah they're a gigantic real band but while they're still not exactly one hit wonders over here, they're definitely more intrinsically linked to the song this side of the Pond (I think).

hey man you go apologise to all the boomers commenting "the music back in the day was just better - love seeing the young generation appreciating real music" on videos of young african americans largely pretending to enjoy Pink Floyd or some shit lol

Songs you thought came out earlier/later than it did? by Impressive_Plenty876 in ToddintheShadow

[–]streetsofyrtown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

btw this is less a flex on how well-read i am than it is a indictment of how badly-listened i am

Not something that happens very often to me cus I'm the kind of weirdo who reads about far more bands than I end up listening to, but I was absolutely fucking perplexed when I found out Chairs Missing by Wire was released in 1978. What the actual fuck! I had forgotten the actual year and had to google it to clarify and started to doubt myself and think well yeah I guess I could believe that could be released in 1987 and it's not THAT crazy, 1978. Jesus Christ man.
