Bucket Hats and wooden necklaces for All

Bucket hats have been huge again with the Zoomers for a little while now I think. I blame BTS and Phoebe Bridgers, but IIRC Schoolboy Q was doing it back in 2015/6.

Wooden necklaces idk but wouldn't be surprised

Ah yes, just what I want to do when having health problems: have to make complicated, literal life or death choices about my health care. Yes, I'll be in the perfect state of mind to make choices then.

I hate the tyranny of choice so much. I don't really give a gently caress who my pet insurer is, or my travel insurer, or my energy provider or internet provider or credit card provider. I don't want to him and haw about minute differences to get a smidge better deal. My time is my most valuable resource, wasting it making stupid choices is not the way to spend it!

EDIT: actually, what I WOULD love is a service that just decides all this poo poo for me. Is there anyone out there offering that? To once a year, look at your current plans & see if there's anything better? Automatically, rather than having to manually go through gocompare or something.

The only good British music movement of the last 40 years is Rave.

Grime was good. It's exceedingly not for me but Jungle and DnB also seems like they should count.

Britpop was...fine? Yeah, it was a bit regressive in outlook but so was punk when it burst on the scene & was basically rock & roll but with spitting & singers who couldn't really sing. There was a lot of chaff associated with Britpop, poo poo best forgotten, but the first 2 Oasis records are still fun, Blur were fun, Suede, Space, Pulp, Elastica, I still love that first Supergrass album.

Maybe it's nostalgia, Britpop was the first contemporary music I really got into at 10 or 11, but it wasn't all bad. Even if the cultural baggage around it was fairly uninteresting even at the time

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Radiohead started putting out music in the 90s. Aphex Twin started putting music out in the 90s!! Squarepusher! Global Communication! The Black Dog!! Prodigy! Like forkboy said, dnb and jungle!!! Early garage!

There was loving tons of good British music in the 90s. I would even hazard to say that it was the last good decade of British music (except grime and that, which isn't really for me, but I certainly respect it)

Richard James was definitely recording his own music by 1989, because that's how he got discovered. It's the same situation as Leftfield - they were including their own music in DJ sets from the late 80s, it was just a few years before they put anything on tape.

If it's any consolation I have no loving idea what new wave is. Although a quick Google means it was around when I was firmly in my almost nothing but metal phase.

It had a decent mixture of standard rock and electronic, e.g.

I just moved on to a "still mostly metal but also everything else" phase.

You can't beat something like Zeal & Ardor or Panopticon.

Actually one of the few types of music I don't engage with at all is video game soundtracks. I've always been a "mute the game, play my own tunes" guy unless a game is voice acting heavy. Or a rhythm game I guess. Phantasy Star 1 doesn't sound right to my brain unless accompanied by a Status Quo tape I once had

This infuriates me so much, I went to the GPs with tonsillitis, throat covered in ulcers for over a week before I went, barely able to eat or drink anything without significant pain. Get to the GP, he has a look, says it's probably tonsillitis, and then asks "what do you want me to do about it?".

I'm like, I don't loving know, I'm not a doctor, I just want to feel better and be able to eat something, at this point I don't care what you do to make me feel better just do it. Ended up with antibiotics and was already on the mend by the next morning.

Patient choice is great, but it has to be informed otherwise it is useless. There's no point asking a patient what they want you to do if the patient doesn't understand what can or needs to be done. There's a reason doctors have spent many years at medical school.
