I still to this day have not listened to Aerosmith, so I’ve got nothing to say on them. I have two friends that both like/love U2 however. One took me to a show, and it was good but I don’t think I would see it myself. I really do like Sunday Bloody Sunday, although I for sure listen to the Saul Williams version more often than the original. I think the original has more emotional standing however, as it’s more poignant as Bono is Irish. (*Idk about the rest of the band, so idk if others are Irish as well.)

It’s beautiful, yet basic. I wasn’t sure if I should have been offended or not once an ex said I reminded them of this song. Felt strange.
I’m a crack head for this song. Some times I will just be sitting around and start mouthing the beat. Can’t feel it.
I have learned to love this song over time as it is sort of synonymous with a time period and music style world-wide and that’s not so bad.
Not even gunna lie, I hate Hozier. I call it “spiritual white people music.” I am going to get hosed for this, but that one band that sang that song Lonely Boy or whatever is also part of that mix to me.
In defense of her music, if this is All I Want for Christmas I loved the cover of it in Love Actually. I think the gal who sings it is the one who voices Marceline? Also, if you’ve ever done kitchen work in a place that forces Christmas music people actually get quite happy and come together. So…there’s that.
I personally will always be addicted to Always By My Baby. Which is an insanely fun song to sing, because of the modulation. Going high to low, it’s a fun challenge and feels great requires a bit of control. But that’s just me.
I also think she might be the best selling female pop-artist globally. But I am not sure. This is all just stuff off the top of my head.
Lastly, and this is on her acting and not her as a human being - I absolutely fucking loved her in Precious. Especially as she has this one like that’s something akin to “What do you think I am” when Precious asks her what ethnicity she is. As someone who’s mixed, it’s like candy for my brain. It’s a good play.
Sang through this whole post, so it might be messier than it already was coming through on someone’s opinion.

I hope to see it, but I update by the hour so who the hell knows if I will. Either way best of luck. I often remember fucking up is just part of the learning process. So if you break something, just learn from it. When you make your first public phone, I’ll line up.
profgrumpypants@midwest.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•[blog post] what it's like to live with as much foss software as possible1·2 days agoI went back and looked and I think old boy just uses big chunka paragraphs. School sucks, you do you. I just figured I’d tell you I just can’t read it. Uppercase is good stuff though, you had good things to say and I thought it was cute and you’re very intelligent for a youngun’. You’ll do well, just keep fostering your voice, skills and more of that purposeful consumerism. I’d like to read more about your phone, so I hope you share it some time.
Also horror sucks, I just love it. Don’t worry about it.

It’s madness, but I love him and texts are short. I didn’t realize the ability to write like this long form. It’s just a style, but it makes it hard as hey for me to actually get my brain to not just error out and quit is all. This isn’t a blog for anyone though, it’s for you so you do you!
profgrumpypants@midwest.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•[blog post] what it's like to live with as much foss software as possible1·3 days agoYes, actually! I love Knifepoint Horror, but I can’t ever read any of the books because the tell-tale signs of readability weren’t there and it breaks my brain. I can read all caps fine though.

They’re quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don’t think all curtains are made equally.
profgrumpypants@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•No Internet For 4 Hours And Now ThisEnglish31·5 days agoThis might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I’ve heard ventilation. Don’t forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.

Idk what the song is called, but that song that says “Don’t Listen to a Word I Say.” Still going to get crucified but call this “quirky white people music.” I also do not know…wait I do know the name of this one. Safe and Sound, awful song. I don’t think either are my least favorite but both were just awful to live through. I am glad they’re gone.
Which is funny, because I later heard that one of the Safe & Sound folks is one of the guys from PNAU and I like them. I just find those two songs to be droning for different reasons. One is mindless and campy, and the other is mindless and falsely whimsical. Which I guess sounds like campy, but I feel like they sit in adjacent er…camps.
*I laughed because With You Forever is two steps away from Safe & Sound but I like it so much more.
