Something Completely Different

QuoteThe 29-year-old Japanese phenom's new contract with the Dodgers is the largest in American team sports history.

Quote from: DJChameleon on Dec 09, 2023, 12:45 PMThis entire post is the definition of old man yelling at clouds. Bro you are just getting old. You've always been kind of crotchety but your age is enhancing it.

The reason there are so many love songs and greatest love or breakup songs besides as you say it yourself that it is universal. Wtf is wrong with talking about themes that everyone can relate to? Construction workers can't relate to your Office Space wanna be lyrics.

There is a reason why there are decades of music spanning generations about the general big themes that occur in life just with a slightly different sound to appeal to a younger generation.

I see no issues in it.

I would probably poo poo mundane lyrics so badly. Andre 3k is right no one wants to hear about old people going to get a colonoscopy or that you couldn't find your red stapler. Or about the time you were ready to clock out and your boss made you stay late to finish up TPS reports.

I hope you'll post for us again soon; do you remember when you and I were sharing videos on MB about plate tectonics? Good times.

^ Yep, definitely blues/rock, Saulaac, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The passion of Jack Bruce's performance just sweeps me away every time.

I must apologize, because at no point does Clapton say "Steady on, Brucey" ; I'm afraid I assumed you'd realize that was a joke, and had no intention of tricking you. Also, at no point does Clapton say, "Steady on, Drum Boy!", even though, as usual, Ginger Baker is drumming like a man possessed!

Quote from: SGR on Dec 08, 2023, 04:48 PMI didn't mean it to be a verdict on life, just how a lot of young people are probably feeling now - inflation and the absolute insanity of real estate prices and high interest rates. For me personally, a few years back, buying a house was very well within reach, and then COVID happened and those fucking houses got driven up over $150k in price, making it a lot more difficult. Not only that, but the real estate market, at least in my area, is still insanely hot. And we've got rich boomers from out of state that are buying up these houses, sight unseen, as a vacation home or with plans for an AirB&B. So some of the houses I've planned to check out are under contract within days before I can even see them. Other houses have an offer deadline 24 hours from the time you see them - make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life in 24 hours? Really?

I'm technically a millennial, one of the last. And we're, I think, the first generation in a long time to have it worse than the previous generation (in America). It's just frustrating.

And no doubt that Biden has his accomplishments, but his administration's messaging is poor. And I'm guessing a lot of young people, myself included, would have to think long and hard if we were asked how Biden has made our lives better.

Quote from: Saulaac on Dec 09, 2023, 12:52 AM^That's incredible, Lisna, thanks for posting it! Really really enjoyed the heaviness of the song. Is this blues rock?

After multiple listens, I'm sorry that I didn't catch where Clapton says "Steady on, Brucey". I was perhaps too transfixed by other things such as the drummer. Please give us a clue!

QuoteWhen I listening this music, i get soft hit to my heart, and from heart that feeling walk to my mind
