Mr. Not

white noise on noise cancelling headphones would probably solve my problem here but idk

been sleeping 4-6 hrs per night for the past couple weeks now and on weekends, when i usually get catch up rest, i've still only been getting 6-8 hrs instead of the usual 10. the bags under my eyes aren't the prettiest and i feel like what i imagine it feels like to be a 45 y/o... or maybe even a 55 y/o.. or maybe even 65... wow... i'm 65 years old already, imagine that.

cool song btw

nope

I think it's their worst album by a wide margin, there are some songs or moments of them that i think are decent.. but overall when i listened to it i thought to myself, "looks like they need to retire". I like all three of their singles for this upcoming album and according to Tony half of the songs on the album will be power metal like "First in Line" is, which was the standard for their earlier albums (Ecliptica thru Reckoning Night), so it looks like they're going back to being "power sonata" rather than "prog sonata".. and i'm excited, i think they're going to pull it off pretty well. It won't be the same without Jani or Mikko, Silence was their magnum opus as far as that goes, but it should still be very good.

Classic Rock: Dire Straits - great storytelling and their songs are usually very relaxing, "Money For Nothing" represents this band poorly (thanks Sting) Steely Dan - great song writing and i dig the cynical lyricism Billy Joel - see above, only Billy's much more cynical and the pop rock angle is pretty different from jazz rock The Doobie Brothers - the micheal mcdonald R&B stuff, not so much their earlier hard rock stuff Metal: Sonata Arctica - always have listened to them way too much, but now i'm back to it in anticipation of their upcoming album which is a return to their early trademark style of power metal. Stratovarius - visiting some of their work which i've never really listened to much before, particularly Fourth Dimension. also a good go-to band for inspiration Insomnium - a lot of the riffs inspire me to pick up the guitar again and it's great music to listen to whenever depressed. ...all these bands are Finnish and loosely interconnected ;)

Third time watching, I revisit it every few years. I was reminded of it yesterday because i was working with a high pressure air compressor and when I was done with it I shot the adapter out from the hose into a wall I enjoyed it most on my second watch, now I'm too familiar with the plot, but I remember the first two times I watched it the suspense was bone chilling. Definitely one of the best thrillers ever made.

My boss started playing a live "Triumph" album on his radio today and said "These guys are the best three piece band to come out of Canada" - I laughed and said "bullshit", to which he responded, "I'm serious" Hipster boomer... He knew what he was doing.

Acclaim[edit] "Telegraph Road" is often considered as a masterpiece in rock music.[14] In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone magazine, David Fricke praised "Telegraph Road", and he characterized as a "challenge to the average pop fan's attention span" with its "historic sweep and intimate tension.";[15] it is overall considered as one of the band's best songs, if not outright their absolute masterpiece.[16] Loudersound.com ranks "Telegraph Road" 6th among Dire Straits' best songs,[17] while Return of Rock ranks it 5th, describing it as "A fourteen-minute masterpiece worth every second of its length, which it deserves to be on the list of the best long-form songs and progressive rock songs."[18]

this has been the song for me lately

this song came up on my spotify radio and it totally caught me off guard, laughed way too much

I'd take Nightfall over all of Nightwish's discography, and I'd say the same thing about Rhapsody's if it weren't for Luca's guitar solos being GOAT

I think Blind Guardian's "Nightfall in Middle Earth" album sets a good example for symphonic metal. When bands like Nightwish or Rhapsody completely drown out the band with a symphony it can sound cool but it really takes away from live show transferability as well as the aspect of it being metal music to begin with... Blind Guardian did get a little bit out of hand with the symphonies for a couple albums there (certain songs on Edge of Time & Beyond the Red Mirror), but they did it perfectly on Nightfall, there's only one or two symphonic tracks going on at a time, if at all, and it never takes away from what the band itself is doing. A single keyboardist phoning it in for live performances (which is what they do) works out perfectly

forgot about fraroc, wasn't he very dramatic or something?

messed up my sleep schedule

call me deacon blues

Foo Fighters > Nirvana

Foo Fighters kicks ass but it's a really bad name for a band

his newest album was a good compromise between his current vision with the pop/electronic stuff + his original style, but his first four solo albums are still the best. i don't expect him to put out another Raven

the internet was a very different place a decade ago, or even a few years ago (healthier)

A tribalistic black man, a jewish rabbi, and a morbidly obese woman all step onto a hot air balloon the woman is politely asked to leave due to weight capacity reasons.

Why did the moron throw the clock out the window? Because it reminded him of Richard Clock - the man convicted of knife-raping his wife.

Why doesn't Applebee's call their appetizers appletizers? And why doesn't that waitress I met at TGI Fridays ever call me back?

I'm on a seafood diet. I see food... and if it's a fish I eat it.

I used to think revenge was a dish best served cold, but then I realized it meant 'getting back at somebody'.
