And I said, what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, I think I remember the film, and
If I recall, that one part was incredibly racist
And I said, well you're just being woke

the reason why "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sucks so bad are the fucking awful lyrics. The guy is trying to make an argument to not have his girlfriend break up with him because they have one thing in common: they both "kinda" liked that film. What total shit. It makes me want to br...

Yo, the Semi-Charmed Life AND Breakfast at Tiffany's songs are both industrial-grade poison. And it says something about the universality of art that many people independently get pissed off by the same songs, I suppose. It seems that anything catchy can be a hit. But writing something catchy is eas...

Yeah, the "I" in that sentence is a tell. Consider: if some magical change occurred and suddenly you were me and I was you... but we don't take our memories with us. What is different? I don't think we'd even be aware. Is there even anything to be aware of? Maybe the "magical change&q...

Impersonal rebirth means that your vital energy has combined to make this particular identity but will scatter in the wind to help form multiple other identities that are in no way related to this current ego. I'm pretty down wth that if "vital energy" is left undefined and "identity...

Do you mean the relating of personal experiences or genre authors? I'm not really into genre authors either, no particular reason. But yeah, I suppose it's more the relating of personal experiences or "true stories" that hinge on the possibility that the spooky thing might be evidence of ...

Kind of boring to me as stories, maybe interesting as psychology. Not really interested in "supernatural" stuff generally, but freaky Japanese folklore is cool just for the uncanny visuals. So Stanley Kubrick famously mused to Stephen King that belief in ghosts is hopeful, although I don't...

No wonder David Byrne refuses to get Talking Heads back together.

If there's one person in any band writing all the songs and doing most of the work, I'm ok with them making more money, because work is work, songs don't write themselves, but yeah. Twice as much as the rest of the band is total crap. I always think of an interview on the radio I heard with Jaz Col...

I'm not offended by Sublime at all. It's not my thing but whatever. That fucking Live song, though. At the start of this thread I didn't know about the placenta or any douchey behaviour and it's STILL the worst. THE ANGEL URPENS HER AHH-EEE-AHH-URR-ARR-EEE-AAAH-EEES. I always think of the angels at ...
