If it's lil Nas x or Nelly, ok.

They're like the opposite of the kidneys; they'll keep the medicine circulating. Cheers!

George Santos, compulsive liar and now, also professional drag queen? How is he worse than anyone else, now that we have normalized lying to the point of regular direct contradiction of reality? Why do GOP reps want to embrace people like GaetzGreeneGosar and then turn around and pretend outright ly...

Doesn't he sing this as the snowman? Like the snowman is singing it with his voice? Hmm.

Stop giving my spouse more reasons to talk about them. It's already a fascinating enough topic.

I would put this in the fitness thread except for the obvious reason: At CrossFit I was low to average relative to the impressive regulars. Could lift a lot but was not very fast or endurant. Fast forward to regular gym: they keep on assuming my regular clean and jerk weight is deadlift day. Nah, I'...

You're alive! Do you still have a throat or just a hollow cylinder there?

Or a lifetime supply of frozen pizzas. Man I could go for some pizza. It's hard to work out that chart because as you increase your intake of frozen pizza you might decrease the number of years you're available to eat it? But let's say you live at least 30 years and you have a frozen pizza three ti...

If you've tried it you're already winning. The question is, can you do the Mongolian throat singing? I feel like if we can yodel, then we can learn this, no?

Billboard Hot 100 Year End Chart 2022 98. Unholy (Sam Smith & Kim Petras) But congrats on an out trans artist and a non-binary artist going to #1! 7/1ol Sam Smith has a great voice but I'm over these "yay for prostitution!" sentiments. Maybe we could decide not to persecute the prosti...

Haha it is good to see you back at your normal powers! All is right with the world. I did another deadlift day and while it is a far cry from the heyday, at least it was good.

Phoebe

The Mountain Goats have a terrible cover of this song, which is really the most:

Phoebe

I am glad the rains did not strand Tahlvin there! It's terrible, the stories of what is happening to people are so terrible. The five year old swept away after his mom tried everything to save him, oh my God. What is this world? ... middle-seat-guy was not a masker, and I did not enjoy constant phys...

Mike wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:21 am I already talked about the original, but this version was the first time I ever heard of the Mountain Goats.

Okay, that's not strictly true but let it rest. I just ate like 20 extremely small potatoes and can't think of anything but potatoes.

URGENT

This will be the most important thing you listen to today:

Mastodon is ok BUT one key problem is that you cannot just click on a profile you find interesting and decide to follow it. You have to go through a multi step process any time you're not on the same server. Short form comments are still required, which encourages certain kinds of conversation over ...

] I've liked this song since the mid-90's. I think it was a brief reappearance on Tik Tok in the last year that made me put it back in rotation for a while. Maybe this too osmosed into your brain via the music thread (or could have been a few years ago when it came up... I can't remember)! I don't ...

I lived on a sparsely populated island in the outer realms of Scotland or Ireland or something like that. The only thing they had was sheep. My job, for money, was to test the various sweatery garments and blankets made from the sheep. I was obligated to put on a warm sweater and snuggle under a war...

I had to eat something because I won't be able to eat for very long time and I was only able to eat a little bit of cereal very early. So I drove through McDonald's and I ordered the little McMuffin but I said, just give me the sandwich because I don't even want to be tempted to eat that hash brown ...

Ready to Win, Tokyo Police Club I never think I like this song very much, and then I play it to figure out why it's on my list, and it turns out I DO like it. Every time. I like the upbeat energy. It feels very post-punk, which I like, and the sad sack protagonist feels very Violent Femmes to me. G...

FYI they DID have all kinds of electric car rebates and other pro-energy-savings rebates for everyone who can participate. So fear not, have the loan forgiveness and I'll get a solar panel with what I saved. We are all good.

Okay this is about today and not yesterday and it sounds trivial but trust me it's not: I lost a small sweet potato somewhere in the car and I just found it. Believe me that's not the kind of thing you want to lose in the car. If you ever lose a potato in your car you'll regret it later. Voice of ex...

Well, I hate Wagner because he was an anti-semite and I think his music shouldn't be played anymore even though it is, quote, genius, unquote. Also because he was an egotistical, self-important dickwad. I feel like he wasn't very nice to Nietzsche. We need Akiva for this. I just don't like this mus...

I am so excited even though it is a terrible Monday morning of exactly the wrong kind of Monday you don't want to have: A couple years ago I heard a song that was like a contemporary remix of this in some way. The melody and some other parts of this song were, what do they call that nowadays? Interp...

It never even occurred for me to look for a video about such a thing! But that is exactly what I need!

My kid is having a serious Adele phase and he was not born a singer, friends. He has many great qualities so I don't feel like I'm doing him wrong by admitting frankly that this child was not born to sing. And yet he's very excited about singing Adele songs. Put that together in your mind. Luckily h...

I'm enjoying your reviews and top song list. Just wanted to mention I think YouTube skates under the radar far too often when it comes to public debate about social media and politics. Of all the media sites I've encountered, YouTube was rivaled only by Twitter in the speed with which it took a new ...

Cute and clever game, plays quickly. Probably better with multiple people but we didn't have all our people available for the experiment.

Given the degree to which outright bribery via the use of PAC campaign funds apparently is now part of this, I'm surprised Democrats don't make some backroom deal to pick off six moderates. But how do you find someone moderate enough to be elected in a swing district who doesn't still face the prosp...

A new vaccine for bees has been approved in the US. It's interesting because although it's not clear this illness is the main reason numbers of bees have been collapsing It certainly won't hurt to prevent it and it could be a model for other vaccines if they succeed. But as with all vaccines you do ...

Not to discount the value of the rest of your good report here but my eyes only see the words Krispy Kreme. Honestly not even the word 'donuts' - just 'Krispy Kreme'. I'm stuck on it.

How can you grift and scratch up donations when you have to show up at the actual job in a building and perform the work of governance? Surely that is not what this group signed up for!

Ohhh this is terrific! Very exciting to encounter or rediscover these people. I used to feel that way about Celine Dion, that she had a lovely voice but I wasn't interested in the kind of pop songs she was singing. Then my mom, who was a fan of hers for a long time and watched whenever she was inter...

Sounds like my cup of tea. I am sailing the tranquil seas of the audiobook and it's the greatest. The problem is I want to hear someone else's voice. I need to pay people with a good voice to read to me. The woman sounds like Gates McFadden and while objectively that's a good voice, it is not the vo...

In 2010 they ranked Dylan #7 so #15 this time is bit closer to the truth but still, rather him be in the 40s. Dylan has always been a A-class songwriter, B-class singer (especially if you average in his total work), but B is still pretty good. He has a memorable voice and (most of the time) knows h...

I'm too scared to look into which Billie they rated higher. It's also kind of them to let us know that musical genius or performance genius or something was more important to them than actual singing. It wasn't hard to guess, people!

Rolling Stone needed to let you write up its list of the best singers because they were not up to the task. I think the goal was deliberate idiocy so they'd get other media to cover their list, and even I am here to gripe and advertise it. So no link, no, we will just shame the dipshits responsible:...

Ooooh very exciting! I expect some good finds in this one, starting here! Still marveling over the Beyonce-P-Funk link, nothing new happening.
