The Texas sniper referenced in Full Metal Jacket and the Black Lagoon anime was Charles Whitman, not Walt Whitman.

I didn't realize until today just how quickly strawberries can get moldy. Jesus Christ, I've only had these for a few days, and I didn't even leave them out; I put them in the fridge because that keeps poo poo from turning vile!

Yeah this Spring was the first time I didn't eat the whole box* of strawberries I bought and two days later they were very pretty and fluffy but inedible. *) Like ½l or something.

I've seen this picture before, and I notice it popped up on REDDIT FRONT PAGE again. Every time I've seen it I thought the guy in it looks just like my best friend, but i'm really bad with faces so who knows. Finally I decided to send him the picture and I asked him if I was crazy for thinking the guy looked like him. Turns out it was him, it's him, he made that years ago as a joke.

I just learned this weekend that Andy Gibb, Besides being the youngest Brothers Gibb, was not actually ever in the Bee Gees his career was separate from that of his brothers. I just figured he was the only Bee Gee to have a solo career.

I just recently learned that the Maxence Cyrin piano cover of "Where Is My Mind?" is a cover of "Where Is My Mind?" I've been thinking it was a cover of Coldplay's "Fix You" for years and never realized.

I just learned that all uses of the word "check" (including "cheque") in the English language are derived from the chess term of checking your opponent's king, and the word "check" itself is simply derived from the word "chess." Mind blown.

Saw a commercial for the upcoming movie "My Cousin Rachel," starring Rachel Weisz. Who I remembered from playing Helen Hirsch, Amon Goeth's housekeeper in "Schindler's List." Except it was Embeth Davidtz in that role. (In my defense, I really like Rachel Weisz.)

I have been following a person who does video essays in the style of HBomberGuy and Jim Sterling on YouTube, and she does a lot of film teardowns, the one getting me hooked being an examination of Rent and how it's movie (and stage show) marginalized the actual poverty, aids pandemic, and drug abuse of the time. Her name is Lindsay Ellis, better known to me by her former gig a decade ago, the Nostalgia Chick from That Guy With The Glasses.  What the gently caress how did I randomly stumble upon the same person twice via YouTube, ten years apart

I just found out that not only is Popcorn not by Röyksopp, they've never covered it, and it was actually from 1969. I thought it was way more recent than that!

The rhythm was later employed to create the song "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor".

Listening to Swan's Splashdown now... No, I've never heard this bef.... oh holy gently caress, yes I have. In Lemmings, which pinched most of its melodies from elsewhere. I always assumed it was some classical piece or something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF3vMAmEnsY&t=1927s

yea i tried to look it up but then i kept forgetting it here's one then, Rob Hubbard's theme from Thing on a Spring was reused in a little known game called Punk Killer where you're basically a punk with a purple mohawk and you kill old ladies and dogs and coppers I guess someone hacked in the music cause the only version on youtube is without it. Too bad. http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=h...y+childhood+irl I loved that game when i was 12 Killing cops and listning to a synth violin, good times. also the animations are surprisingly good when I look at it again

I have played classical music most of my life (as a hobby anyway) and I have never heard even the most nitpickiest of nitpickers complain that you can't call it classical music if it's not from the classical period. I'm pretty sure everyone recognises it's an umbrella term as well as a term referring to a particular period. Unless I just learned that in the US they make that distinction?

Nah, most people in the US call anything that falls between the Baroque and Neo-Romantic periods "Classical".

All music written before 1920 is classical music. Except if it was for or by poor people then it's folk music.
