  1. Starting a band called The Plumbers. We do only ambient/doom/drone covers of Carpenters songs. Actually, that could work.
  2. @brightsides @gothlaw @phil138 Danzig is a punchline. A tiny, pouty punchline in a too-small t-shirt. Gene Simmons w/out marketing sense.
  3. Oh hey Amazon video has all of the Francis the Talking Mule movies
  4. @zarq2010 Thx 4 helpful Mets pitching history comment on MeFi. Was SURE Tom Seaver threw nono 4 Mets, but it was Reds. #wishfulthinking
  5. @naxuu Of course he is. Last career left for those of a medieval mindset.
  6. @zarq2010 No shit? Wow. Cool!
  7. @naxuu You have got to be fucking kidding me. That's despicable. And stupid. And stupidly despicable. And despicably stupid.
  8. This will make you want a beer. vimeo.com/42674279
  9. "Klout believes you are influential about profanity." IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU GOT ONE RIGHT, KLOUT
  10. @koboldstyle Basically if the singer is doing Cookie Monster vocals, it's death metal. If whispery screeches & howls, black metal.
  11. @koboldstyle Death metal, OTOH, is more direct, more assertive, more concerned with musicianship and technique.
  12. @koboldstyle Black metal often features deliberately poor mixing and recording. It sounds cold and far away.
  13. @koboldstyle Death metal: growly, big guitars, musically complicated. Black metal: screechy, atmospheric, more "mood" than "technique".
  14. It's like the Internet can no longer properly distinguish between zombies and cannibals. Here's a hint: ZOMBIES AREN'T REAL.
  15. @koboldstyle Oops. They're really more black metal than death metal. For good old-school death metal, try Death. They were great!
  16. @koboldstyle Try Kvelertak. Death metal with big riffs that doesn't take itself so seriously.
  17. @arthurwyatt Yeah. It seems rather too calculated. DC wants props but can still brand-manage by tanking Earth 2 if there's any "backlash".
  18. @jay_beans Old habits die hard. "This reboot is crystal-clear and sure to get us new readers! Let's fuck it up."
  19. @arthurwyatt I'm having a difficult time summoning up any enthusiasm for what seems to me like "too little, too late".
  20. @jay_beans Yup. I mean, it's Earth 2. No one cares about Earth 2.
