Do you have a favorite musician/band?

not really

lately i've been listening to cannons, still corners, Bowie, and lou reed


by Mark_K k

Do poems count as songs?

If they have a melody!


We need a filthy gets drunk and listens to Beyonce (or the new Taylor Swift album) for the first time video


😆

*maybe*

if I did something like that, I'd probably record it, but wait til I'm sober to post it, just to double check I don't get myself in trouble lol

if Beyonce did the "put a ring on it" song... I've heard that one. I don't remember how it goes, but I know I heard it. I think a group of us did it together in a karaoke room like 20 years ago


Haven't bothered to listen to the Taylor Swift album, but "Fortnight" is mid as ****.

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) is one of my favorite pop songs ever. From a purely "musician" perspective, it does some really interesting things that you pretty much never see in a pop song. And does them well.


Sup ya'll. How's it going with everyone?

I'm picturing you and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doing things. 😉

She's not bad looking, and I bet she swings a mean axe. Yeah, definitely a warrior, not a healer or mage.


I went deaf in my left ear. Sudden sensory hearing loss or something like that. Good chance it never comes back I think?

Not so bad if there's no ringing.

!!!!

Recently or awhile ago? Any idea of the cause? An auto-immune thing?

this happened to me once from wax build up. I liked it. it was like the volume got turned down on the world.

the only weird thing was I could no longer tell which direction a sound was coming from

Sounds like 90% of the time they don't find any concrete cause. Probably started 3 weeks ago. I get an MRI in a couple weeks but I'd guess like 1 in 100 it shows anything relevant.

Other guy I talked to who mentioned waxy ear said that as well but I haven't noticed it at all yet.

Also thought people getting waxy ears and not realizing it was a myth.

Damn. I hope for the best. Did it just degrade or did you just wake up one day without hearing in your left ear?

Fun little time waster here.

Start with a bunch of basic elements and combine them in different ways to make new things.

Starting with Earth, Wind, Fire and Water I made 57 things in about 10 minutes.

Some bizarre ones are Doctor Who, Doctor Hitler, Sphincter, Dinosaur, Galileo and Steam Punk


Pulled from random social media. No idea if true, but if so that's a heckuva way to settle a beef:

THE EAGLES AND ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE HAD A FEUD. THEY SETTLED IT ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD! And on this date in 1978, ALL FIVE members of The Eagles played members of Rolling Stone magazine's staff on the campus of USC in Los Angeles. The feud started with a comment in Rolling Stone's "Random Notes" about the band and their softball exploits. Infuriated, GLENN FREY fired off a response: "Anytime you pencil-pushing desk jockeys want to put on your spikes, we'll kick your a--, too." The Eagles team featured all five band members at the time (Henley, Frey, Walsh, Felder, Schmitt) plus groupies and hangers-on. The Rolling Stone squad had Ben Fong-Torres, Charles M. Young, Cameron Crowe, Joe Klein among others. Tempers were running high (not, I'm sure). Eagles manager Irving Azoff wore a jersey that read IS JANN WENNER TRAGICALLY HIP?

The result? THE EAGLES ROMPED 15-8 with Don Henley on the mound. The losing Rolling Stone team contributed $5,000 to UNICEF as agreed before the match. Celebrities like Joni Mitchell, Chevy Chase & Governor Jerry Brown were in the crowd, all rooting AGAINST the writers. INTERESTING NUGGET: Before the start of the game, the stadium announcer said: "And now for our National Anthem." Then, "LIFE IN THE FAST LANE" played through the sound system! #Eagles #rollingstonemagazine #softball


The Eagles have had so much embarrassing publicity lately, someone is trying to distract us. If it's true, the story is way cool.


Okay I just finished watching OpenAI and Googles presentations. To anyone that says those two events didn't scare the hell out of you, idk.

The fact that the OpenAI voice sounds exactly like the AI in the movie 'Her' freaks me out.

Oh, Google having Marc Rebillet as the opening... kind of funny.

Had to say goodbye to my bud (see my avatar) today and let him cross the bridge. He went out like a ****ing champ and I love him so much. I’m so sad right now, and I love you guys. Probably a detailed 18-year tr coming one of these days when I’m not a complete goddamn wreck.

In the meantime, check out this handsome ****in beast:

Very sorry man



by Crossnerd k

I’m so sorry for your loss… It ****ing HURTS man. We just had to very suddenly let go of our doggo of 15 years this morning. They say she had a brain tumor. First time walking in to the house with her collar in my hand and she’s not here… just. ****.

Came in here and seeing your news just makes me so sad too. RIP to kitty and doggo

I know the feeling. In May 2015 I had 2 dogs die in consecutive days and taking their collars off before were buried was sad. I still have them and they still have some hair on them.
