Eric Clapton is only good in collaborations where his name isn't in the name of the group. Cream, Beatles, Blind Faith, Derek & the Dominoes. On his own he makes the musical equivalent of a limp, impotent dick.

Oh poo poo someone else who could hear that. People thought I was crazy because I could hear a TV that was on and muted's sine wave buzzing from a room away.

On a CRT it's the horizontal retrace circuit, meaning it's ~15.7kHz the whole time the TV is switched on.

LCDs also make high-pitched whining for different reasons, particularly if you display a lot of thin horizontal lines.

It doesn't. It was, however, my prom theme, so even 20+ years after its release it was still the soundtrack to feels being copped.

Content: After I read The Big Short (and loved the movie), I looked up more info on the author and found out he's married to Tabitha Soren from MTV News. My 14-year-old self would have jumped for joy to find out she's into huge nerds.

"Layla" was with Derek and the Dominos, i.e. not solo Clapton.

:goonsay:

Edit: and actually that song is the perfect example of the principle since the dickless solo-Clapton unplugged version was also a hit even though it's garbage that eviscerates the passion that makes the original great.

I believe the hawt take on "Layla" for many years has been that it's actually Duane Allman who makes it great, but I completely bombed out when I tried to learn the guitar a few years ago so I can't tell the tonal or sonic differences between Clapton's Strat and Allman's Les Paul and consequently don't know exactly who's playing what. So that might be a load of rubbish. :v:

My favourite album with Clapton on it is that Delaney and Bonnie live album he was on.

I was just reading the wikipedia article on it and yeah, Clapton credits Allman with the signature riff and with turning it into a rocker instead of a ballad. This is why Clapton needs people around who are as good or better than him. His talent is there but his instincts are hosed. He's like the George Lucas of music.

SNL was a powerhouse from 1990-1995. You had Kevin Nealon, Chris Rock, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Troy McClure, David Spade, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows, and Norm MacDonald.

It was a severe letdown in 1996 when they canned everyone and you had Will Farrell and Colin Quinn as your standouts.

It really bothers me that you called him Troy McClure instead of Phil Hartman, and for some reason it bothers me more that nobody else seems to have caught it. SHAME ON YOU ALL.

Clapton made his name playing his own version of American blues, then his first solo hit was a cover of a Bob Marley song, then he went on stage drunk in the 70s and started ranting about how we need to "Keep Britain White" and he's since spent the last 40 years insisting that Enoch Powell wasn't a great big racist.

Here's another musician who seemed to go to pot as a player in the 90s: Vivian Campbell. He played all the leads on Holy Diver then from 1992 onwards he's been content to be Phil Collen's accompanist in Def Leppard.

I used to irritate my parents when I was a kid by saying "There's a TV on somewhere" if any TV was on in the house. They would insist that I was wrong but I'd find which one it was. I could even hear the one in the basement from upstairs. It was maddening.

It's funny. My mid-range hearing is terrible now. I have trouble hearing people speak and, if there is background noise, I'm basically deaf. A dishwasher, an idling truck, that sort of thing. I have to tell people to face me when they talk if there's background noise so I can read their lips. Hearing damage due to heavy equipment noise with no hearing protection when I was a teen.

However, I'm 40 years old and can still hear up to about 17,000 Hz. If you're 5 feet from me, I can't understand you unless you speak up, but I can hear some laptop power supplies from 50 feet.

I thought age was supposed to drop me below 12,000 Hz so I don't have to hear that crap any more.

LSD: Dream Emulator - a PS1 game that's supposed to be an exploration of a dream world.

This comes from a very 90s place. The ethos is virtual reality as a means of escaping reality and exploring the mind, a la Lawnmower Man. The soundtrack is fairly typical mid-90s electronica (this was the catch-all term for electronic music before someone coined EDM, kids!) - the post-rave experimentation with psychedelics and introversion fits the game very nicely. The moraliser-baiting title was a marketing technique invented by Sega for the Genesis and borrowed by Sony for the original PlayStation. 'Edginess' was a way of distancing themselves from Nintendo.

And of course you have the terrible 3D graphics.

I'm the same way with smells. My parents would always have salmon sandwiches on Sundays and could smell that anywhere in the house. Same with paint.

even now I someone burns toast in the break room I can smell it in the office.
