Dig Out Your Soul

Very useful answer, thank you for taking the time here 💐

A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me

For all the weirdness of a Brit getting to write this and involve credible names—I look it up on Discogs, and find recently listed copies listed in this country for less than double figures. So it's not one to go back for...

It was made by Paul Kennerley, and hoo-boy does his Wikipedia page look like a friend of his gave it the most flattering possible angle for him. There's literally three list tables for songs that achieved separate kinds of recognition.

Is this some horrific thing, like the album I listened to and transcribed online by C Company? Is it some both-sides brainless lib shit? Is it some worthwhile storytelling with depth and a sensible angle? Lmk, it was very interesting to see turn up secondhand, on this side of the Atlantic.

So, one for country fans... I was out record shopping and saw two copies of an album I'd never heard of before today, called White Mansions – A Tale from the American Civil War 1861-1865. The credits include not many names I recognised, but Waylon Jennings and Eric Clapton were there. What is this?

Can just call it the 'emotional core', if you don't want to invoke a location. (Not advice for Todd there.) No-one infers that to mean it's midway through a runtime.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Because it takes place in one location?

If it takes up side 2 of the vinyl, who's to argue?

Only on vinyl, where the needle moves inwards as the album progresses, so the final song _is_ the piece in the center.

Nope. Albums start with the enterpiece, proceed through the centerpiece and finish with the enderpiece.

That's just science.

When we put out our next album if someone could get a song or two on some massively popular prestige cable tv show that’d be a huge help.

Generally agree, despite my inclination to dig for the good faith among any plausible cynicism.

We’ve had an artist drop out due to family sickness. Hope they feel better! This means a new number has been added, #32, up for grabs.

To be a good critic you must learn to hate opera!

but then -- and *only* then -- you must learn to love it again

Yes, I like that point a lot

A fee to access rent tribunals would be nothing short of a direct attack on renters.

It will make it harder to challenge unfair rent hikes and create the perfect loophole for landlords to push tenants out with huge increases. Renters shouldn’t have to pay to defend their homes.

You don't think women read and studied those same books? There's a burden of proof to that. The access to a wider circle point is askance from the premise up top as well.

Gonna gatekeep people fascistically, by saying they've not seen enough doodles to draw their own doodles. Thus stealing their means for my gain altogether.

I just find leftist discussion tends to focus on news stories around me, and for bigger social permission topics I often see people kinda striking out alone trying to put rules to them.

I'm torn because I don't think what timothee chalamet said about opera/ballet was particularly offensive but I also really want to hate on timothee chalamet

The problem with this is that at least a quarter of my Bluesky mutuals are bigger archive TV buffs than I am, so even if I mention something that 99.9% of people have never heard of I'd get a hundred replies saying "Surely everyone's seen that? I got the DVD in a Network sale in 2015!"

Happy 84th birthday to John Cale, and happy 8400th listen to one of my fave albums.....

I just didn't realise no-one was going to be 'saying Boo-urns' on such a matter.

Educational thread, since I didn't realise people who love breaking from the known political wisdom had nevertheless left individual home ownership on the table.

See I thought that was a consensus viewpoint, and my friends were all too polite to express it.

Locked out of Heaven would be the other exception in my mind.
