Random Music Talk LXXIII: Mayan Apocalyspe Never Tear Us Apart

[GirlsAloudFan]

If you're Jewish, or some other religious group, or whatever, no religious group, anything, I love you, and happy New Year. Let's kick it.

Blur's "Badhead" is the greatest song of the last 20 years.

Not even the greatest Blur song.

Beetlebum.

 

[IWasBored]

iDubBee, I could have used you last night. At the Kendrick gig some stupid 18yo British lad greened out, and kept turning around to me and saying "stop fuckin pushin up on me ay mate". Not that I could control my movements, the place was that packed.

Ive read this three times and still dont understan what use i could have been. what you needed was the girl who was behind me at a flogging molly show several years ago. She wanted me to move, so she bit me. You could have sic'd her on him, he would have stopped bitching at you at least.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, the Killers sounded great. Very good gig. I liked Runaways the most, which is pretty solid on the album but takes that shit to the house live. They've been a pretty middling album band lately, but no question, they've improved live. Human, however, will always suck.

In other news, my laptop decided to force me to format/wipe my C drive for absolutely no reason in particular. Got everything out of there of value, including all 336 pages of my novel. Losing that would have been absolutely horrendous. Besides that though, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Ugh but how about Resigned or This is a Low or Caramel.

There are too many greatest Blur songs to have a greatest Blur song.

I'm curious what it means to "green out." I like that phrase.

Human might be the worst song of all time.

Smoke too much weed.

Merry Christmas, cobbler. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Damn, is it Christmas in Australia already?

 

[lazarus]

We saw The Hobbit tonight.

Spoiler

Are the other LOTR movies that fucking bad?

They're considerably better. I'd suggest watching Fellowship, but it follows a similar structure and may seem redundant. The stakes are a lot higher, though.

(and not as many dwarves)

Thanks. I was hoping they were at least better made, without NOOOOOOO happening freaking twice.

I'm guessing most of you don't venture down to Zoo Confessionals a lot, so I'm going to post this here as well. In 19 weeks, including the holidays, I've lost 65.3 lbs. Over 25% of my starting body weight. I'm fitting into clothes I haven't fit into since my wedding (almost 3 and a half years ago).

 

[nielsgov]

Good job.

 

[martha]

NICE!


I'm a little jealous.

 

[Hewson]

Not traditional Christmas, but it is Mayan Christmas.

Well done.

I dropped 23 unnecesary lbs over the past year by nearly eliminating soda (I was singlehandedly keeping the Pepsi Co. profitable with how much Mountain Dew I used to drink, now I treat myself once a week) and a few simple diet adjustments.

I don't know what part of the forums zoo confessionals is even in on the app.

 

[nielsgov]

I want to check out that Swans album but the length of it is withholding me at the moment. Two hours is crazy long for what I expect to be such a heavy album.

 

[LemonMelon]

Listen to White Light from the Mouth of Infinity instead. It's better, and shorter. Classic album, and the best encapsulation of their sound.

 

[nielsgov]

One hour seems doable.

 

[LemonMelon]

It flies by if you're at all into post-punk.

 

[the tourist]

Good job.

Thanks!

Hahaha, well I've heard that some people wouldn't survive without some of the things I no longer eat (pasta being the main thing that I no longer eat). But thanks!

Soda is a killer. I just recently transitioned over from one 7.5 oz can of Mountain Dew a day to a full sized can of pop with Stevia as the sweetener. It tastes just like diet pop but without the horrible side effect of artificial sweeteners.

Other than that, I lost the weight with just one more big bat.

Nice.

Thanks!

So apparently Adam's hair has its own Twitter account.

 

[IWasBored]

What Adam do we have on a first name basis who has twitter worthy hair? Itc ant be Clayton, he hasn't changed his haircut since ditching the fro....

Better question, what were you doing in pleba to find this out?

 

[Popmartijn]

What Adam do we have on a first name basis who has twitter worthy hair? Itc ant be Clayton, he hasn't changed his haircut since ditching the fro....

It is. He has.
No, you don't want to see it.

 

[IWasBored]

I could have sworn it got bleached during popmart, but otherwise has just been the same in varying degrees of gray since the 80s.


You're right, I dont want to see it. This is the most thought I've ever put into his hair in my life. Or anyone's hair. I still have the same haircut I've had for the last 12 years.

 

[cobl04]

I paid $120 to get myself home in a taxi last night after mates didn't give me enough cash. I'm absolutely fuming.

 

[corianderstem]

One does not have to venture into Pleba to find out about Adam's hair right now. It's everywhere.

.... the story, that is. Not his hair.

Not yet, anyway.

Nice work. You should be pleased with yourself. I hope you keep it off long term.

I actually lost some weight while in Germany, although it was kind of a happy accident, sort of. Put back a little of it over Thanksgiving but have maintained since then. Hoping to clear the holidays without putting much more back, then I'll once again adopt the routine I organically established for myself while I was away. I think I'm down about 50 pounds since June 2011, and more importantly, reversed just about every bad number I had going as it pertains to my bloodwork.

Oddly enough, and we all know that everyone's body works differently, etc, but I lost all that weight while still drinking diet soda....Coke Zero, specifically. I'm sure I'll die because of it but at least it didn't hinder my weight loss efforts.

Do you have even one friend who is not a dick?

 

[bono_212]

I, uh, am scared in regards to whatever is going on with Adam's hair...

 

[bono_212]

Oh God. I looked.


Holy fuck.
