I forgot Ben is wearing a Letter's To Cleo shirt.

He rocks lots of cool shirts throughout the series; Toad The Wet Sprocket and Radiohead shirts too.

 

[Russ I]

Been watching him in Severance. Intense.

 

[Viking Dan]

I’m not really the arbiter of cool. There’s just a handful of songs by artists I really like that make my earballs hurt.

Like Impossible Germany?

DUMBEST LYRICS IN TEH WORLD INCOMING

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction, wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west, think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

At least you can understand him singing those lyrics! Try to decipher the lyrics while listening to Gardening At Night

I’m torn. I really like The Cure, but do I pay fifty bucks for an album that contains a song that makes me want to stab myself in the face?

It’s the “Shiny Happy People” of the Cure catalog.

All this R.E.M. and Cure slander is bumming me out.

For me it’s Heavy Metal Drummer, but yes. Every giant catalog of great songs is bound to have one or two that rub you the wrong way. Even artists near and dear to me.

Heavy Metal Drummer?!??

I’m not sure we can be friends anymore.

“THEY SAY IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!”

Over “Desmond was a barrow in the marketplace…”?!?!??

I’m a long suffering but very passionate Phish fan. Suffering bc so many of the lyrics are fucking horrid. I only play their live tracks and often skip the main part of certain songs.

While I stand by every word here, I’d like to note for the record that I’m a few cocktails in and was inspired by @nolalady’s post about hawt takes.

I love all the songs. ALLL OF THEM.

 

[Corycm]

How did this become the hot takes thread?

Mine wasn’t a take as I don’t believe it’s objectively bad nor do I believe anyone should change their mind about it. Just thinking aloud before dropping fiddy bux on a record.

Music is fun I don’t need profound poetry. If I can nod my head to it I don’t mind if they are singing about the Wolfman’s Brother or Cluster Flies

I'll take both over "Run For Your Life," which lyrically HAS NOT AGED WELL. And this is coming from a Rubber Soul/Revolver guy.

This is poetry:
Summer sitting out by the pool
A ray of sunshine getting in my way
Close your eyes and wish that it were cool, everyday
And I wish it could be back the other way
But what's dissolved ain't coming back today
Close your eyes and wish that it were
Close your eyes and wish that it were
Axilla axilla axilla axilla
Never understood what my body was for
That's why, I always leave it layin' out on the floor
The shape a curiosity, where different faces fit before
And tracing my image in the sand
To pass the time from slip to fall
The line I trace begins to weave
A tangled web from wall to wall
