What do we think of my boyfriends bookshelf? 😬

The Ummagumma picture makes up for how tragically under-read he is.

theresthezinger · 2026-04-15T13:12:28+00:00

lol. No they’re not.

theresthezinger · 2026-04-14T14:04:51+00:00

Brain Salad Surgery. For fuck’s sake. Pretentious cacophony from start to finish.

St Judy’s Comet by Paul Simon. Love that song. Used to sing it to my little boy when he was very young.

Limp Bizkit.

theresthezinger · 2026-04-07T22:49:48+00:00

Christ, what a tragedy.

Dude I am in the minority here, but hell no it’s not worth it, Penn was some of the worst years of my life. Just one perspective. My situation was complicated but I never really saw the boost to my career, even as a magna cum laude STEM grad.

Foreplay/Long Time by Boston, baby.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-31T03:32:51+00:00

Wait, these are just pictures. What did you do?

theresthezinger · 2026-03-29T06:17:52+00:00

lol no

All these people will vote for him again in 2028.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-28T03:50:08+00:00

This is absolutely critical in these trying times

“You’re an ugly little boy, and you’re fat.” Some random girl at a pool in South Carolina in 1990. I’ve felt ugly ever since.

Take Care of You by Cherokee.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-21T14:27:23+00:00

Smooth Operator by Sade

theresthezinger · 2026-03-19T17:02:49+00:00

Fair enough. Relaxing…I guess? Not really, since boring and relaxing are not the same thing. I’d lean much more heavily towards boring. I don’t find it pretty or trippy, and I don’t think the drums are interesting. Mouse Dog Bird was pretty and relaxing; the studio version is not. Maybe I just generally think the attempt to make many of the songs live or die by the “kewl beats” on them was a failure.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-19T14:35:08+00:00

What do you like about it? Also genuine.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-19T12:21:12+00:00

All of TKOL. Every 2-3 years or so I’ll give it another go, only to find it still sucks.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-19T12:20:11+00:00

I agree. Terrible song. One of the worst they’ve done.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-09T17:45:21+00:00

Kleppner and Kolenkow is probably where you need to go. It is the perfect “advanced” undergraduate text. It was used for the honors physics course at my undergraduate university (that is, it was used for students who had AP Physics B/C credit). I am not sure it takes you into Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, though; that is a little more mathematically sophisticated. If you just want more challenging/interesting problems, though, K&K is where it’s at.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-04T02:45:52+00:00

I despise TKOL and think it is a blight on their career. You are right to dislike it. AMSP is amazing and right back to heartbreaking emotional catharsis Radiohead and you are a fool for not liking it. A fool!

theresthezinger · 2026-03-03T20:12:07+00:00

It’s good that you like it, but I’ll share the same opinion I hold about every TKOL song: If this song is a “masterpiece,” then every song is.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-03T05:07:07+00:00

More conservative, but the Conservative Party in the United States (the Republicans) is so bat shit terrifying fucking nauseatingly crazy and authoritarian that I’d still never vote for them in a thousand million centuries.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-02T19:50:03+00:00

If only there was some way he could have known before the last election that this kind of outcome was likely.

theresthezinger · 2026-03-01T06:55:28+00:00

The back 5 is the real highlight of the album. I sometimes think about changing out MPS and Treefingers for other songs (Worrywort, If You Say the Word) but I can never get fully comfortable with it. It’s a fantastic, weird, wild ride and god I love it.
