Eric Cantonese posted:The Wall is a slog for me and the band didn't have a great time making it either. The Final Cut is the inner-resentment from The Wall turned outwards towards politicians and the neo-aristocracy it's not an uplifting listen by any means but it's a very truthful and vulnerable one

Roger Waters is good and has put out some really good stuff but from what I understand is one of the biggest pricks in rock, which is really saying something all things considered

I've never really seen anything from folks either have collaborated with saying they're monstrous to work with or anything

It's childish to expect a band that has lasted that long not to go into bank statement mode, but taking Waters out took out a lot of the edge that I enjoyed in their 70s stuff. Then again, I'm a weirdo who likes Animals the best. Lib and let die posted:Big fan of Mark Knopfler here, too.

Untouched black Yamaha acoustic sitting in a gig bag right behind me. One of these days, after I unpack all my father issues, I'll get around to playing the guitar he bought me.

It's hard to deny when you take it as a whole that it's really the album where the whole band is operating at their peak and everyone gets their moments to shine. It's their most cohesive work

https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1465734906072469509?s=20 I don't have high hopes for this, the source material wasn't great. Although the Limetown TV show was better than the podcast, so who knows. I hope it succeeds though so we get a season two. The premise of that one is a bunch of Amazon employees on mission to see if Lovecraft's Dreamlands are fit for colonization and exploitation.

Serf posted:i really liked that scene. because, yeah, that's what a bunch of aristocratic assholes would think about democracy. it would sound insane to them. it is the bourgeoisie who ushered in the idea of liberal democracy, not the hereditary nobles. of course the bourgeoisie ended up being no different from them and were often drawn from the same bloodlines, but nevertheless they're the ones who come along and smash the old system. and even then, the democracy they instituted was for their class alone and the franchise was only extended to stave off social unrest. samwell was proposing a modern style of democracy and the people he was talking to were absolutely not ready for it nor would they profit from it. i mean i get it, but the anachronism was silly. sam may as well have pitched the idea for facebook. iunno maybe lots of scribes were laughed at for suggesting the same thing a thousand years ago

Braavos are the only "good" faction in GoT, being fantasy Venice founded by a slave revolt. They also mostly stay out of the entire mess.
