@chriswflannery @quasimatt My friends got drunk and were throwing construction pylons everywhere last night

@quasimatt Hmm not sure I agree with this one, what kind of new traits are you describing?

One thing I’ve noticed after being sober for 6+ months and going out is the difference between men and women getting drunk. Women mostly just become exaggerated versions of their sober selves, but it’s pretty common for men to adopt entirely new traits and sets of behavior when drunk. I think the average man is subject to like 5x more inhibition than the average woman.

Music used to belong to the pirates. And it may have been better off that way: now the platforms they inspired are robbing musicians in broad daylight. In the early 2000s, a global internet underground of music nerds (compliment) faced police raids and the wrath of record label lawyers to maintain the vastest archives of music ever assembled. Online strangers, equally in love with sound and infuriated by the industry’s cash-extracting CD prices, upheld these meticulous systems, like sonic Alexandrias hiding behind IYKYK urls. One of those faceless filesharers was Rob Sheridan, longtime creative director of Nine Inch Nails, who welcomed Trent Reznor into the digital oasis Reznor would later call “the world’s greatest record store.” “I downloaded a whole bunch of albums that I never had the opportunity to try because every album was an 18 dollar investment,” Sheridan tells us. “That kind of radicalized me, and I became a fan of so much more music. [Working with Nine Inch Nails], I got brought in and we were being flown to New York, the label was taking us out to these expensive dinners and paying for everything—top notch hotels, everyone had private cars and drivers. There was so much money going around, and it wasn’t the artists who were rolling in cash. I remember one of my first comments to Trent [Reznor] was, ‘Now I see why CDs cost 18 dollars.’” Read the full feature, written by @edendasilva, here: pigeonsandplanes.com/read/music-pir…

this might have been one of the most spammed images in /mu/ humor threads around 2012-2014, to the extent that you would see 'inside is yellow :)' shitposts randomly in threads across the entire board; all of this despite it having nothing to do with music

@Popeyezviewz @sadreturns check your email ;)

@sadreturns I remember "sent ;)". Still not 100% sure what it meant. Figured had to do with whatcd invite.

@sadreturns Inside is yellow :)

just on the topic of early ‘10s /mu/, when Skrillex posted an Aphex Twin track on facebook it became a legendary image on the board

@polypocketknife It's good

this is the same hashtag relatable white girl pop i’ve heard from a dozen other artists the only difference is she looks like a normal adult woman instead of a teen celebrity so her quirky schtick isn’t excused by her youth and her “omg shes so me” relatability isn’t aspirational

@seraphfem @sickysab Cara pic went hard on Tumblr in 2014

any other old bitches remember when the british-nyc transplant it girls were fixated on throwing up blood in like 2011?? lol…..

@cheaperby12film Letterboxd is already owned by that dweeb Andrew Wilkinson so it can't get much worse

bluesky but for letterboxd is going to be the most depressing shit ever. see you all there

Told the young prep cook at work that I graduated high school in 2015 and he said "damn you still look youthful"

@antociaga @JayShams Bookings will give you a pass for free fare when you leave

@JayShams i doubt they had a metro card or phone after the arrest tho

That couple that scaled the Empire State Building were arrested and then immediately skipped the subway fare after they were released from custody

@wuooods @blasted_tower The 37 year old "where's my hug" guy I work with loves this band

@blasted_tower what kind of coworkers do you have that regularly approach you with up and coming experimental bands with costume gimmicks...

Feels like maybe we're reaching the upper limits of what can be considered "coworker taste"

@harleybaghdad In Time is awesome

Timberlake in The Social Network is such a crazy flash in the pan. He cannot act for shit and yet hes possessed in that movie

hot take but this is the last album Tyler dropped i’d consider a great album

@korea_suicide I thought I torrented a bad version but it was really mixed that terribly. Also one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

The Tune-Yards score in I Love Boosters is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Hopple pop circus bullshit with atrocious mixing and mastering.

@lb3nnyz @billdifferen It sucks

@billdifferen Flower boy aint bad its like actually kinda listenable for tyler

you can tell these motherfuckers think they deserve to live #ThatFlowerBoyVinylInTheBackground #ImGoingToPutYouMotherfuckersInAPozole

@billdifferen I still miss whatcd's top torrents list I don't think I've been able to keep up with new releases the same since they shut down

I use both bc they both good for different reasons: aoty is really good at compiling new releases on friday. use it weekly for that alone. rym is good for just discovery. if you wanna see something about a certain genre and it's history throughout the year, it's a blast

@fakenadine This been pissing me off for 8 years

a very niche internet thing i am obsessed with is how lastfm scrobbles lucki as swedish pop duo Lucky Twice

hardest track out of Toronto in a while idk how I'm so late on this

@flieldy acab rocky

Still not as bad as the celebrity-name-pun band name thing happening to this day

@yegwave My 60+ year old uncle just visited from Edmonton and told me he almost fought another Oilers fan at the last game he went to

A fight has just broken out at Roger’s Place following the loss to the Anaheim Ducks. #LetsGoOilers
