| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 375: Joe Bidin' his time |
| Seanchan 06/22/21 1:04:11 PM #142 | I keep up with this topic just to try keeping on top of some political news...though I'm inclined to skip a few hundred posts every once in a while when you guys go on some awful tangent. Anyway, I have no idea who any of the people are in that video, at least on a name recognition basis. As such, definitely not going to watch because who cares (he says somewhat ironically) what I bunch of internet-randos have to say. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

There's at least 1 or 2 songs (maybe more?) where I feel like it just completely flips halfway through the track. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Although...it sounds like maybe the background music for a video game level where you're journeying through someone's mind. CasanovaZelos posted... 170. Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965) God, that's...a lot to try to take in.

| Seanchan 06/16/21 12:19:16 PM #29 | Thank you both for the information. As someone not well versed in music history (especially rap) it felt like "rap", as we know broadly know it today, had to have come out of the late 80s/early 90s, so I assumed Wu Tang was a progenitor. Which I guess they are, but not of someone like Kanye, who I guess branches back to a different node in the rap tree. My history with rap is mostly whatever broke through to broad mainstream radio and Eminem (and his adjacents like D12). Almost by definition those are going to fall under the banner of pop rap. Of course I know about older groups like Run DMC (because of Aerosmith...) and Sugar Hill Gang (at least Rapper's Delight...) but I wouldn't know who to trace back to as the origin of Kanye, Jay-Z, Eminem, etc. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

There's nothing like Power or Runaway here that makes me sit back and notice, at least on a first listen. Everything felt like it had those same early 90s beats, which, you know, makes sense, but music has also evolved quite a bit since then. Maybe that's a crap take but I have no familiarity with this album, so I always like to jot down my initial impression of albums I haven't heard before. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I know the name obviously but I don't think I could have named a song. Excited to be ranking one of his albums later in the year. CasanovaZelos posted... 199. Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road (1975) Whenever this song starts I think "ehhh", then by the middle I think "you ain't a favorite, but, hey, you're alright" and then I kinda love the last 45 seconds or so when the sax kicks in. CasanovaZelos posted... 197. Lucy Dacus Night Shift (2017) I liked this more than I expected. I love the buildup of the song. Might have to listen to more Lucy Dacus... CasanovaZelos posted... 194. Bob Dylan Hurricane (1975) I feel like I don't typically like Dylan but I very much liked this one. Crazy to think it's based on a true story and even crazier (but kinda not really unfortunately) that this same type of song could still be written today. CasanovaZelos posted... 183. Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight (1995) Just echoing people's thoughts on Corgan.

I had no idea this song was this old! I used to hear this on the rock station all the time in the late 90s and it was so oddly different than everything else but I would always stop to listen. "LET ME GO OOOOOOOOoooooooooooooN" CasanovaZelos posted... 205. 808 State Pacific State (1989) I like this one. Definitely has a certain "videogame-y" sound. CasanovaZelos posted... 204. LCD Soundsystem How Do You Sleep? (2017) Interesting one. Shows again I need to listen to more LCD Soundsystem. CasanovaZelos posted... 203. Bruce Springsteen The River (1980) This is a good song. I love the harmonica. CasanovaZelos posted... 202. Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991) A stone cold classic. CasanovaZelos posted... 201. Courtney Barnett Avant Gardener (2013) Not usually my type of song but this is pretty good.

| Seanchan 06/10/21 1:09:33 PM #31 | In NoVA, there's a large amount of people still wearing masks everywhere. I was down in SC for Memorial Day and while there's a lot less people wearing masks, I was surprised that there was still a decent sized chunk (say 20-30%) still wearing them at various stores. Naturally I caught a cold from a family member down there and had to wear my mask for the last week when indoors to be a good person and hopefully not spread my cold around.

| Topic | General Music Discussion Topic |
| Seanchan 06/05/21 6:40:55 PM #18 | GameBopAdv posted... Oh hey, I'm a bit late to the conversation, but vocals are a bit of a thing for me as well. In that I -really- do not like them. I'm someone that tends to sometimes mishear what's being said, so I've never really been all that good at processing lyrics in music. But sometimes I feel like, whenever vocals come up in music some part of me forcibly tries to process them anyway, at the cost of being able to enjoy the music. As if parts of me that would be enjoying the music are instead forced into being used more into trying to understand what's being said. Dunno if that's actually the case, but the existence of vocals definitely block out my enjoyment of songs >99% of the time, so I essentially just want to listen to instrumental pieces. I can agree with a lot of this. Non-lyrical songs (for me that's typically EDM type stuff) has a way of "unwrapping the knots in my brain" (as I like to think about it). I don't get stuck trying to concentrate on the lyrics, oftentimes leading me to frustration, and instead just relax and feel the music. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Topic | Did you enjoy Brandon Sanderson's conclusion to the Wheel of Time series? |
| Seanchan 05/29/21 11:48:37 PM #10 | Did I enjoy the end of the Wheel of Time? Yes but maybe mostly because we got an ending at all and it wasn't completely terrible. The question of whether Sanderson did a better job than Jordan would have is basically unanswerable. The fact is, the series got entirely unmanageable/unwieldy in the middle, to the point where I actually stopped reading the books when they were released. The books between Crowd of Swords to Crossroads of Twilight suck. They just suck. Six amazing books that my teen-aged self loved and read through multiple times, then 4 fucking books in a row that were interminably bad. Like holy fucking christ, someone edit this man please. Knife of Dreams was a step back in the right direction. Then RIP Mr. Jordan. I congratulate Sanderson for just getting the damn series over the finish line. I think they really did pick the right person for the job. Obviously he has a different style than Jordan. More modern, more plot focused and less getting stuck in the unimportant details. It's why his own personal writing (Mistborn, Stormlight, etc.) is so successful. He's a man that HAS a plan and EXECUTES that plan. He avoids the trap that nearly every other fantasy epic writer falls into, where it feels like they're just making shit up as they go along. So yes, there's a distinct style shift for the last 3 books. As people have said, his female characters are better but Mat just falls off a cliff. You win some, you lose some. I loved The Gathering Storm. Might be my second favorite in the series after The Great Hunt. It felt like such a breath of fresh air and I loved Rand's arc in that book. I will never know if Jordan could have done that better. Was it the plot itself that got to me or was it enhanced by the particular writing style that Sanderson brought? The last 2 books I'm less high on. As others have said, there were just too many plot threads and characters to keep track of, which is not Sanderson's fault. Aside from the main characters, it was hard to care/remember too much about the B and C tier characters by the time A Memory of Light was released. The whole thing of characters sometimes being reincarnated as other characters didn't help either. It's been a few years, but I remember wanting more of an epilogue to know more about what happened to the characters afterward. When it comes down to it, it's hard to actually recommend The Wheel of Time when it's 14 books long and it falls so damn flat in the middle. The series needs to be re-edited down to a more manageable, say, 10 books length, but that'll never happen. I know there's a TV series in the works; hopefully it's capable of condensing the magic of the series into a palatable form. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

More protein is good but it's not like you're looking to cut down to 5% body fat so what does it really matter if you're taking in the "right" amount. Use of those apps to log what you eat for a week and see what your protein/fat/carb ratio is. Then you can try to cut some carbs and add some more protein as needed. Eat more lettuce and less bread, less chips and more nuts, replace ice cream/sweets with greek yogurt, etc. Make small changes over time so that it works for you. You want something that's sustainable for the rest of your life, not a fad you'll stop doing in a month. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Then I realized... eating a can of chicken a day is about the same protein but it also costs like $60 a month with just a little more calories. I buy big bags of the stuff from Costco. The one I like is $50 but it goes on sale maybe once a year down to $40 (I think). You can get cheaper stuff for $35-40. Doesn't mix quite as easily but it'll get the job done. It's 80 servings per bag, so using $50 it's about .62 cents per serving. I only use it after workouts, so a bag lasts 4-5 months. Even if you used it once a day, it's about $20/month. Not too bad I don't think. What I like about the powder is that it's quick and easy and it takes all of 10 seconds to gulp down. With the chicken, there's usually some prep time, seasoning or cooking or both. Plus, you're going to get sick of chicken, chicken, chicken all day. Eating real food is usually preferable but having protein powder as a supplement/meal replacement is a good deal. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 05/24/21 2:08:22 PM #13 | 4 Day Split Bench Press + Pullups/Dips Squats + Abs/Jump Rope Overhead Press + Chinups/Dips/Arms Deadlifts + Abs/Jump Rope I work up to one set of "as many reps as I can" for the 4 main lifts, then drop down to 55% to get 5 sets of 10 for volume. Finish off with the supplemental work. Drink lots of water and eat some fruits and/or veggies every day. Remember moderation when it comes to eating unhealthy stuff; I'm not going to cut pizza and beer and chips out of my diet. Getting more protein in your diet is easy with protein powder. One scoop with some water, stir, and chug after a workout. Biggest thing with working out is that it IS work. You have to make the time for it and make it routine. Once you stop it's hard to get the ball rolling again. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 12: LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver (+ Dirt results) |
| Seanchan 05/23/21 6:19:08 PM #23 | My first listen I just, well, listen; maybe mark down the songs that stand out, if I'm able. Second listen is when I try to get a ranking in place. Third listen I do in my ranking order, so it's easier to see when something is "out of order". I would plan on doing a watch of Hamilton as one of my listens, probably the first, as I think it would bring an extra dimension to watch the actual play. Anyway, back to our featured album, Sound of Silver... First listen was extremely positive. After U2 and Radiohead and Alice in Chains, this album is a well needed breath of fresh air that's much more in the wheelhouse of my current listening tastes. That first song grabbed me quick and then the rest of the album kind of never lets up (except for that last song which I wasn't too fond of). There are some really great beats here! I'm very much looking forward to doing some re-listens and checking out some more of LCD Soundsystems' discography. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 05/23/21 5:11:44 PM #19 | I try to do 3 listens over a week since I think that's a good amount to get a feel for an album and then have a chance to digest it and evolve what I think. I don't always get there, and I don't really need that for an album I'm familiar with (which doesn't happen too often) but that's my target. But yeah, no big deal if you keep things as is, either I'll find the time or I won't. I'm not gonna need a week to do Bat out of Hell, so hopefully I can find some "bonus" time that week. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
