Failed Imagineer posted:perfectly constructed pop song Congratulations on accurately describing the problem with the song and also the film. Mannequin was one of the very first films made specifically on the basis of market research and audience testing - neither were new of course, but Mannequin literally *started* with the producer saying "Well girls 13-18 are under-represented in the audiences, we need to ensure that they want to watch this film" and cast the male lead purely on the fact that he'd scored high in audience testing with that demographic. He rides a motorbike to appeal to men 18-30, etc etc. It may not be patient zero but it's definitely a very early superspreader of the contagion that leads to Marvel movies. The song likewise is Lego pop, painstakingly assembled from components known to be popular to the same demographics and with that fuckawful cocaine sheen upper-midrange boost that made every 80s pop song sound like it was coming out of a cheap transistor radio.

It does at least mean I've actually found a reason to be excited for the queen's jubilee. Or excited for it to be over, which is close enough

I reckon Crossrail renaming itself the Elizabeth Line is the only thing keeping her alive now, she just wants to check off "only reigning monarch to have a major London transit route named for them" before shuffling off. This might actually explain the almost comical amount of delay in getting the fucker opened, some footman has been sneaking in every night and moving all the tools around.

Meaning i must have gotten it, been asymptomatic and given it to her. Sounds tough, my friend. No apologies necessary. PMs open if you need to sound off/vent.

Since he hasn't been convicted, he's not guilty of anything. He just LOOKS guilty, which is a difference. I think this headline by the Star is on the right side of the line. https://twitter.com/dailystar/status/1493723507288588289?s=20&t=mSV-9NfM3gnLWIv80oFv_g

To top it all off I got the RHI gardening guide for Christmas. It had a great section on horse manure being an amazing fertiliser to use in feb. This morning in a gale... My greenhouse blew down and disintegrated. This created what can only be described as a manure tornado in my back garden. Ever just open the curtains, then close them and go bavk to bed? That's today.

Our son (5) is off school today with a cold. As I was listening to the news this morning they mentioned Starmer's name and our son - also called Keir - said "Oh fffff... Why can't he have a different name?!" Since we are a politically interested household he knows who Starmer is and that we think he's poo poo. So now our 5yo also calls Starmer "keith" lol

Film is bad but song is good. C"Mon! It's a perfectly glittery pop rock pebble from before those kinds of synths went away and came back ironically and Grace has a voice like a saxophone solo. What's not to love

It's that synth noise (and the radio-cut-through compression that goes with it) that's the real problem for me TBH, it just feels like tinfoil on fillings and I hate that it's so common in pop and even some 80s and 90s metal. Like I really only got into punk and old rock because of it, and at this point it's almost like an allergy. It was so bad I spunked a ridiculous amount of money on a Walkman with an EQ when I was a teenager, because The Real Thing - one of my all-time favourite albums when played on my old Hinari "music system" with the treble and presence rolled right off - was like trying to listen to a migraine on a conventional personal stereo.

(I mean the fight might also have been helped along by the two litres of blue Thunderbird we'd both drunk because that poo poo is a liquid form of the special tone from Kingsman, but the casus belli was him singing it at me about 15 times because he knew how much it wound me up)

The sole funny thing about this pandemic is that the people who were convinced that they spent the summer of 1963 eating tinned beef in an Anderson shelter while the Kaiser bombed Telford and the people with stashes of internet MREs and ninja home defender magazines both lost their poo poo so easily, while the woke entitled youth (and people who have actually known crisis) mostly just got on with it as best they could. Now that we're being psychologically moved onto the next crisis they have of course forgotten this immediately and are back onto everyone but them needing to toughen up by doing things they'll never be asked to.
