mrpwase posted:As a big white thrash metal, punk rock and folk music enjoyer: holy gently caress you guys are old and crotchety This is basically my thing. I am a dopey metal head & enjoyer of post-punk & weird droney & noise poo poo, and I absolutely am old and crotchety & out of touch. But I feel like you'd have to be actively working to avoid knowing what Beyonce looks like or Ariana Grande or Sam Smith or Ed Sheeran or whoever the gently caress. Like, I could point to 2 of the current singles top 10 artists in a lineup (Miley Cyrus & Taylor Swift) (I could do 9 out of the top 10 albums but then I'd hope even goons could recognise Bob Dylan, Eminem & Elton John) Incidentally the album chart is deeply depressing. I know that only old people actually buy albums but how the gently caress is Rumours #26? Surely every old oval office with bad enough taste to like that middle of the road garbage already owns it, probably on at least 3 formats?

Just Another Lurker posted:Beyonce is that meme of a woman on stage in fishnets with a face like she was straining to get a week old turd shifted out of her rear end. That meme was, in fact, Beyoncé. mrpwase posted:As a big white thrash metal, punk rock and folk music enjoyer: holy gently caress you guys are old and crotchety Very much this. The best shows I was at in the last few months were (a) Lightning Bolt and (b) Carly Rae Jepsen, and CRJ was the funner night out. It's good to enjoy all the different noises

I'm almost curious as to what a more emaciated and haggard Fox would look like, some kind of Shel Silverstein nightmare. (In all likelihood he hasn't and is claiming he has so he can say "look it worked I'm fine" afterwards) In other 'headline sounds like bullshit but the article sounds good' news: https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1622318629072019458?t=Ij7gLB66AUThr6Gn_lTOZw&s=19 quote:Return tickets will be scrapped and new digital ticketing introduced under reforms of the British rail system expected to be announced this week.

Angrymog posted:Someone will whinge because they didn't get plat before being voted out. lmao remember when Angela Smith whined because she didn't get her shiny MP golden parachute because she tried to run to a safe lib dem seat and got owned? The advertisement to be an MP should be that you get to fill your boots with as many bribes as you can get before running off to get a fake job on the board of a company that does money laundering for the drug cartels. Drop the kayfabe about it being a public service and just be open about how much corruption you can fit in this bad boy.

But I feel like you'd have to be actively working to avoid knowing what Beyonce looks like or Ariana Grande or Sam Smith or Ed Sheeran or whoever the gently caress. Looking at the top 40, there are three artists I actually have a song by (Pink, Shakira and Calvin Harris), six more I've at least heard of (Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi, Drake, Stormzy and Sam Smith) even if I couldn't name any of their songs other than that really boring Bond theme, and the rest are a collection of Whoooooooo?s. I just don't care any more.

Pablo Bluth posted:To be fair, I'm not sure that's a good argument. At least early in the early Blair years, trying to make Russia friend not foe was a reasonable course of action. The fair criticism is that it took too long to react when it wasn't working instead of being addicted to their fossil fuels. The argument is that they're both as bad as each other. Yeltsin and then Putin were happy to be on the West's side looting Russia, until the West asked too much in terms of subservience.
