I like the themed Towers of Time in Mortal Kombat 11 because in order to get a skin of Jacqui Briggs wearing a rainbow jacket, I need to cut her dad's head off and slice it in half.

Karen is so pretty and such a great voice. Shame what happened to her. Not a huge fan of the music but still.

The CD I'm listening to btw. This might legit be one of my favourite albums.

Oh yeah, there's a video of her playing drums in 1969 and she's so bright and full of life. She was 18, and she was already over halfway through her life at that point.

Karen Carpenter and Robert Reed are those two celebrity deaths that just make me so tender and solemn y'know. I'd make a good gay guy, especially with all the dick I've sucked off to completion, but alas I'm just a het-leaning bi fella.

God, Goodbye to Love is next. Phoebe Bridgers did a version for the second Minions movie, I want to love it but they skimped on the production because it was the fucking Minions movie sequel.

The harmonies at the end are blissful as fuck

I like Pheobe Bridger.

Her album with Connor Oberst was a favorite of mine a few years ago

If he beat the shit out of Adam Sandler he should have been able to beat the shit out of me

(I would never threaten violence against Bob Barker, man was a saint. Growing old like that is a privilege, with or without the love he got)

I wasn't a big fan of that project. Not a big boygenius fan either tbh. But man, Stranger in the Alps is a good album. Punisher is pretty great too, Savior Complex is what got me into her music.

I got drunk last night, woke up and was like "fuck it it's the weekend". I'm an unhealthy person with a habit, not trying to justify it - it is what it is. Having fun though.

That's a good one. I love Todd in the Shadows' video on their album Passenger, because there's a hype moment where he's explaining their cheesy primetime TV special and its presence alongside Star Wars in 1977, and he's like "every time I hear this cheesy Carpenter-ified prog-rock song from their primetime TV special... I love it just a little bit more".

Seriously, watch that video. It's a good run-through of their popularity, their nadir and then a tragic stop-point in Karen's death at the end.

Gotta start somewhere.

And ya, I would probably not listen to The Carpenters.
I understand the appeal...but no.
It doesn't help that they have been radio fodder for so long.

I think they're easier to enjoy when you watch them perform. Seeing Karen get behind the drums was a jaw dropper for me.

Man I would kill for the Carpenters being radio fodder. We have an oldies station that does Slim Dusty and those twangy-ass motherfucking country bastards I don't like listening to, I'm not listening to that shit just for the chance of hearing the Carpenters.

I'm open to new stuff, and Spotify did introduce me to some new artists like The Weepies, but I'm not throwing myself to a radio station's mercy if they play Hank Williams y'know. No hate, but fuck me that's so far out of my enjoyment zone that I'm not gonna bother.

There's a perfect transition between I Won't Last A Day Without You into (They Long To Be) Close to You. Second last track of the album, great choice

I associate Carpenters with extreme dentistry, because it was always fucking playing when I had a wisdom tooth pried out, or braces adjusted, or getting a root canal. Not a fan because of that, but Karen was a badass drummer tho.

Probably not gonna remember this tomorrow.

I'll take that as a challenge!

for real though, I'm just gonna lay in bed for a bit and try to sober up a little. I'm kind of a grammar nazi at the best of times, as outdated as the nomenclature is, so I'm always alert to my spelling.

I still say incredibly stupid, nonsensical things when I'm drunk, I just try to hold onto my grammar for the longest. Basically I'm like that part in the Rocky Horror Picture Show where Dr. Scott is like "I have to be strong, and try to hold on... otherwise, my mind may well snap, and my life will be lived... for the THRIIIIILLLLLLSSS"

though the fact that I could recall and type all that does make me feel more capable than before.

I was saying relative to my ability to hover over I'm saying a d try to correct it. As vigilant as I am, I still get very stupid.

But yeah, the point of getting this drunk is to fuck around and try to have the most fun.

I'm glad I laid down for ten minutes. I feel a lot better already.

I'm gonna see a friend at the back, maybe have one or two beers, and then I'll come home and drink this other half of a bottle of bourbon.

You get drunk twice, so if you've stopped drinking, pound water.

Also, every goddamn time I've got a tooth drilled, pulled, or root-canalled, it's always this same fucking song:

Woof, at least it's not Superstar. I'm sick of that song.

If I had a dentist song, I'd want it to be Goodbye to Love. It's very bittersweet and the harmonies fucking rip. So I've made my mind up, I must live my life alone

I went up to where this MILF works, they don't cool their beer right so it's disgusting. She was having out but she doesn't work there any more. The slot machine I wanted to use was out of order and the beer I got was fucking foul - I legit had to spit like three or four times as I walked up the street so I wouldn't puke. I don't like spitting but I fucking had to. Shit was fucked. About to get some McDonalds to clear the palate, if that tells you how bad that beer was.
