| Seanchan 01/17/22 10:08:14 PM #483 | Was listening to the playlist a little bit. A bunch of songs near the top you've already posted in this topic before, so no need to comment again about those. I'll say, from what I listened to, the standouts for my tastes were Little Simz - Introvert, both the Wet Leg songs, and Charli XCX - Good Ones. Little surprised about Little Simz but something about it just worked for me. I should probably listen to more of that. The two Wet Leg songs are just fun, with some not so subtle innuendo. I'll have to listen to their album once it's out. And then there's Charli XCX, who's probably someone I should have listened to more of anyway and she does that upbeat pop that I enjoy. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Yes, it's good news about the comorbidities thing, except...there's a significant chunk of the population that has at least some of those things, whether it's being fat/obese, diabetes, old, heart issues, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Nothing too bad but I can tell I'm not 100%. So my armpit area has been feeling extra sore all day. Took a look and its swollen up pretty good on the side I got the shot. The injection site also is a big red circle. I know this is all natural reactions to have your lymph nodes swell up but figured Id share.

Some states such as CA, CO, NM (also NYC) are now allowing boosters for any adult 6+ months out from their second dose (2+ months for J&J).

| Seanchan 10/28/21 2:38:15 PM #167 | The seasonal flu shot is roughly 40% effective. And costs me nothing to get. And I, like most people, thankfully don't have an adverse reaction. So yeah, I think I'll continue getting something that is still useful, if not as useful as we'd all like. The COVID shots (boosters included) are more effective against a "deadlier" disease. And cost me nothing to get. Minimal reaction to the 2nd shot. So yeah, I think I'll continue getting something that is still useful, if not as useful as we'd all like. And I'd rather get boosters every 6-12 months than have to go back to wearing a face mask everywhere. That's my line. I'll wear the mask if it's mandated (which thankfully isn't too many places now) but other than that, no. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I'm not quite so optimistic; my impression is that some of the people making these decisions think that boosters for people at (relatively) low risk are a bad use of resources compared to getting more people newly vaccinated (either in the US or abroad) and are letting that affect their decisionmaking, even though those considerations should be outside of their purview (whether the boosters are safe+beneficial to the individual patient). Give it a few weeks, when a new wave starts up in the north east and they'll suddenly change their tune and start a push to "get a booster for the holidays". --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Chris Isaak Wicked Game (1989) from the album Heart Shaped World I was listening to this and thinking man, this sounds JUST like Roy Orbison, which was an easy comparison to make seeing how Id just heard Crying all of 10 minutes ago. Then I read your write up and was glad that was what I was supposed to think. 58. Pixies Hey (1989) from the album Doolittle Im not a Pixies fan (at least from the one album we Ranked) but I was irrationally excited when I recognized this during the new Suicide Squad. 57. Daft Punk Da Funk (1995) from the album Homework Not my favorite track off Homework but Ill never understand how this doesnt get more love than Around the World. Around the World is a 5+ minute track you get the gist of in 2 minutes. Da Funk is 5 minutes of awesome. 56. The Notorious B.I.G. Juicy (1994) from the album Ready to Die Enjoyed this one. Didnt realize this was the genesis of an all time great phrase "if you don't know, now you know". 55. Sharon Van Etten Seventeen (2019) from the album Remind Me Tomorrow This song hit me for whatever reason. That idyllic sense of nostalgia.hmm...no maybe thats not right. Maybe its nostalgia for the sense of the idyllic? 53. Fela Kuti Zombie (1976) from the album Zombie Such an interesting story behind the singer/band. Youd have no idea just listening to this song, though its still good in its own right. 51. King Crimson 21st Century Schizoid Man (1969) from the album In the Court of the Crimson King No one man should have all that paaaaaaahhwaaaaaa 50. LCD Soundsystem Someone Great (2007) from the album Sound of Silver This is a great song that I dont think I really gave enough respect to when we Ranked Sound of Silver. 46. Talking Heads Once in a Lifetime (1980) from the album Remain in Light And you may find yourself asking, well, how did I get here - A little introspection and self actualization never hurt anyone. ZaziGuado posted... I'm weird in that sometimes I just like to know one song by one artist and have my joy isolated in it. I dont think its weird at all. I think it stems from not wanting to be disappointed when thats the only thing you like from that artist. Even though it shouldnt, it diminishes that love/joy in some way. At least thats happened a few times for me going through this list. Ill get all excited thinking Ive found something new and awesome, only to find out, actually no, it was just that one thing. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

(2002) from the album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots How did this song come out in 2002?!? It sounds like it should be from decades earlier. 93. Four Tops Reach Out Ill Be There (1966) from the album Reach Out Just a classic! 92. Kraftwerk The Model (1978) from the album The Man-Machine Ugh...did not enjoy this. 90. TV on the Radio Wolf Like Me (2006) from the album Return to Cookie Mountain A song like this is why my brain just turns off to lyrics. The whole damn thing, as you said, is unintelligible. I understand its a stylistic choice but it takes up too much of my mental energy trying to discern words. 86. Kendrick Lamar King Kunta (2015) from the album To Pimp a Butterfly I mean, I guess I shouldnt be surprised after enjoying Good Kid but, yeah, maybe I should find the time to listen to more Kendrick 84. Daft Punk Around the World (1997) from the album Homework I know this might be the definitive Daft Punk song (maybe) but its not one of my favorites. I think as a standalone track its just too long. This works much better in Alive 2007 where they can bring in elements of the song without the over long repetition. 83. Le Tigre Deceptacon (1999) from the album Le Tigre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aumW5e28xic And then apropos of nothing but just because these showed up in the related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_2D8Eo15wE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFch8vH81ks 82. Future Islands Seasons (Waiting on You) (2014) from the album Singles I liked this one. Wasnt expecting it but it kinda grabbed me. 80. Bruce Springsteen Atlantic City (1982) from the album Nebraska Another good one by The Boss 77. Bjrk Hyperballad (1995) from the album Post I enjoyed this one. I know this is the 2nd or 3rd Bjork song on this list but its enormously clear my preconceived conception of her music from pop culture references does not seem to match the reality of her output. 73. Fleetwood Mac Go Your Own Way (1976) from the album Rumours Weve already Ranked it but Ill say again that Rumours is a great album. 72. Elton John Your Song (1970) from the album Elton John Just a beautiful song. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

The White Stripes Seven Nation Army (2003) from the album Elephant This song has been ruined by being chanted at too many Euro soccer matches. 113. Prince Kiss (1986) from the album Parade Prince is such an iconoclastic artist. 111. Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maps (2003) from the album Fever to Tell I fucking hate this song. It is just so offputting to me. 109. Caribou Odessa (2010) from the album Swim This one grew on me as the song continued on. 108. Aphex Twin Windowlicker (1999) non-album single Unpleasant is a great way to describe both the song and the video. Also, something about the song evokes the game Umurangi Generation for me. 107. The Beach Boys God Only Knows (1966) from the album Pet Sounds I dont think Ive actually listened to Pet Sounds, despite hearing and generally liking much Beach Boys over the years. 106. Johnny Cash Hurt (2002) from the album American IV: The Man Comes Around This isnt usually my type of song but this is very powerful and touching. 104. The Who Wont Get Fooled Again (1971) from the album Whos Next A classic rock song you never turn off when it comes on the radio. 101. Curtis Mayfield Move On Up (1970) from the album Curtis I LOVE this song! Legit one of my favorites of all time. Mostly thats the instrumentation but just a great, great song! The conga drums, the sax, so much good stuff. Never fails to brighten my day. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Lana Del Rey Video Games (2011) from the album Born to Die Theres just something about this song that grates on me. 148. Justice D.A.N.C.E. (2007) from the album Cross Yes! Justice is great. Not sure Id put this song near my personal top but, yeah, we should Rank some Justice at some point. 147. Daft Punk One More Time (2000) from the album Discovery Great song though not my fave from an incredible album. 146. Underworld Born Slippy .NUXX (1995) non-album single I liked this! 145. Stardust Music Sounds Better With You (1998) non-album single I remember hearing part of this on Alive 2007 and being so confused because I couldnt understand how I had missed hearing it on a Daft Punk album. That hook is just electric. An all time great! 144. The Orb Little Fluffy Clouds (1990) from the album The Orbs Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld Hate the lyrics being here (not the actual words)... 141. Elbow One Day Like This (2008) from the album The Seldom Seen Kid Its hard not to hear the Coldplay in this once you pointed it out. 137. Bjrk Bachelorette (1997) from the album Homogenic This was a brain dont hear lyrics song for me but the music video was certainly fun. 132. Bright Eyes First Day of My Life (2005) from the album Im Wide Awake, Its Morning This is a nice song. 130. Miles Davis So What (1959) from the album Kind of Blue I enjoyed your write up for this. 129. Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg Nuthin But a G Thang (1992) from the album The Chronic Theres just something about this song/vibe that I really dig; its no wonder San Andreas was my fav GTA game. Also crazy to think about where Dr. Dre and Snoop are at today; ones a billionaire mogul and the other is an iconic personality hosting an Olympics show on Peacock. 126. Big Thief Not (2019) from the album Two Hands This is an interesting one. I enjoyed the ending solo. 125. Dead Kennedys Holiday in Cambodia (1980) from the album Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables Love the energy of this song. 124. Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti Falling (1989) from the albums Floating Into the Night and Soundtrack from Twin Peaks ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz 122. Kraftwerk Trans-Europe Express (1977) from the album Trans-Europe Express This song just grates on my nerves 121. Jay-Z 99 Problems (2003) from the album The Black Album This is a good song. 119. The Beatles A Day in the Life (1967) from the album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Out of all my favorite Beatles songs...this is one of them (but still not the fave fave). --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 08/06/21 7:12:19 AM #178 | Yeah, Albummer is a skip unless it's an artist/album I'm very familiar with. The show was 1/3 them telling their history/stories about Weezer, which I don't know these people so who cares. Then 1/3 dumping on Weezer and Rivers Cuomo, which...I don't need to hear. And then 1/3 them going, actually this album is kinda fine for what it is. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 08/05/21 8:14:48 AM #96 | Been a long while since I watched, but I don't remember liking The Searchers either. I know it's considered a classic, so I went in with that mindset and was disappointed. I went through my Western phase quite a few years ago and I think part of it was just that I'm not a John Wayne guy; I'm hard pressed to remember anything that I liked him in. The thing about old movies is that the classics will have had their tropes and themes reconstituted so many times over the intervening years that, from a modern perspective, it can be hard to appreciate the original/originator. The analogy I would make is to Super Mario 64. 64 is a classic...it's also not as much fun to play today as Odyssey or 3D World or Galaxy. I can appreciate it and understand its historical relevance but it's approach has been better refined since then. (And I say this as someone who was blown away seeing it in Toys R Us back in the day.) Imagine being a kid today and there's no way they'd want to play 64 over a more modern Mario platformer. It doesn't mean their opinions are shit and that they hate old games; it's just that the medium has evolved. You're playing a game (or watching a movie) out of time and that means it's not within its historical context. It's something you literally cannot recreate. You can inform, certainly, but it will ultimately always be seen through the lens of the present. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Also, for whatever reason, this album didn't hit as hard the 2nd time. Maybe just wasn't in the right mood tonight. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Without those, there is no breaking point - the system is working as intended. The Supreme Court is pro-gerrymandering as long as it's not discriminatory against protected classes, and even then you must PROVE it was done to discriminate as opposed to gain political advantage, which is fine. Republicans will cement their advantage and unlike Democrats I don't see them going "hmm we are winning too much now let's dial it back." Yes, I mostly meant the societal breaking point. Certainly I think it's going to take a lot for Ds, as a collective, to reach that point. I'd say just imagine if it was the Rs facing this issue rather than the Ds but, well, we've already seen how that goes... --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
