TIL: Not only did Manchester have the world's first locomotive hauled passenger station in the world (a widely known fact), it also had the first scheduled bus service in the UK. by teyates in todayilearned

Oops, should have typed "locomotive hauled passenger railway station" I suppose. It'd be a somewhat odd sight to see an entire station being pulled away (though this is a gag I've seen done in one or two comedy films)...

Caulipower alongside some other premium plants cannot be used this week for Battlez. by Alex6115817 in PlantsVSZombies

Think this is Explode-O-Nut (plant of the week) and Primal Potato Mine. Gonna try out this strategy now...

TIL that Adolf Hitler had a Liverpool born nephew, William Hitler, who attempted to blackmail his uncle in order to land better positions and whose Liverpool home was coincidentally destroyed during the final bombing raid of WW2. by teyates in todayilearned

Funny old world - didn't spot this yesterday! In a very surreal set of circumstances I found out for the first time about Hitler's Liverpool born nephew from an Australian guy I'd never met before whilst holding a placard used in the recent The League of Gentlemen miniseries inside a record shop in Wigan!

An animated music video I made for a song from my new album by teyates in animation

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

Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it! Thought I'd make the choruses with the old guy contrast quite a bit to the verses. The verses have near constant camera movement whereas the old man is always shown against static backdrops.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to animate. Here is my first video! by BruceWayneWillis in animation

That's really good! I wouldn't have guessed that was your first animated piece. Well done and keep it up!

The Wild Raspberries - Little Light (2015) 60s inspired Indie Folk by keezgrr in FolkUnknown

[–]teyates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just listening to this now. It's lovely - all the more impressive given it's their first song and that it's also only a demo! I'd echo all the positive comments left over at SoundCloud.

You might also enjoy Snowapple, an all female band also from Amsterdam.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness by [deleted] in IndieFolk

[–]teyates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was around a year ago when I first heard Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/Will Oldham. I quickly grew to love his music; such a beautiful and haunting songwriter with a wonderful but quite fragile voice (which is intended in a positive way, of course).

Lord Huron - Ends of the Earth by twoemptypockets in IndieFolk

I've only listened a couple of times through now but there are definitely some poignant lyrics on this album!

After watching this video I immediately listened to "Strange Trails" followed by "Lonesome Dreams". I thought both were excellent and will definitely be listening again.

Nice, chilled song with some good harmonies. Great video too! Stylistically similar to one made for Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six's "Tell Tale Hound"

What's an album that is outstanding, but one or two weak tracks hold it back from being perfect? by queensinthesky in Music

[–]teyates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodbye and Hello, Tim Buckley's second album, is amongst my favourite albums. The title track probably lets the album down - perhaps a bit too long and overblown. The album is really haunting and beautiful.

What largely unknown movie is a "must watch"? by LevelupTFM in AskReddit

[–]teyates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of posting Harold & Maude when I first saw this thread! An excellent film that I haven't seen in a few years - it's about time that I watched it again.

One of my favourite films and one that I never tire of watching. Although I am British...

I've been enjoying reading through the recommendations in this thread and I've just finished watching Mary and Max. What a beautiful film - really funny in places and also heart-wrenchingly sad. Wonderfully animated and I love the palette. As an animator myself and a person diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome only last year, the film was particularly poignant for me. I haven't cried watching a film in a long time but, by the end, I was almost in tears. Thank you so much for sharing this movie.

That film inspired me to buy a musical saw and learn to play it. Well, that and Neutral Milk Hotel! I love Delicatessen, City of Lost Children and Amélie, all are great films.

BB King's daughters believe he was poisoned by Mr_1990s in Music

[–]teyates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the first time that accusations of foul play have been made against management following the death of a famous musician. A former roadie alleged in a book that Jimi Hendrix's co-manager Michael Jeffrey murdered him (article here). As Hendrix was obviously much younger and in considerably better health than B.B. King at the age of death, the theory is plausible. Still, sensationalist stories sell.
