Just now, having re-read the lyrics to Tay Zonday's supposed novelty hit "chocolate rain" only to realise its a Langston Hughes-esque protest song and I never realised :/
(in my defense I never paid attention to the words at all tbh)

Nobody is shocked by your age except you. I think we’re mostly just impressed but don’t want to say so because we don’t want you to feel old.

that Isabella Rossellini is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.
― flappy bird, Friday, 20 July 2018 05:37 (five years ago) link
When he first spotted Isabella, David Lynch told her: “Hey, you know, you could be the daughter of Ingrid Bergman.” A friend nearby informed him, “You idiot, she IS Ingrid Bergman's daughter."

Lynch uses that line on everyone.

that "Quisling" was an actual person who collaborated with the Nazis as opposed to a pleasingly onomatopoeic English word with vague connotations of faery changelings or some kind of hideous and stunted birdlike creature
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 26 July 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link
have you just watched The King's Choice? That was how I learned about Quisling last year.
― calzino, Thursday, 26 July 2018 10:53 (five years ago) link
I was aware of the name source but not all the connotations of the term. Had been thinking of it as a term for Trump but it seems to be necessary for the country involved to be under occupation which it isn't quite yet.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 26 July 2018 13:06 (five years ago) link
I was thinking it meant deceptive sellout ala 5th columnist so criteria about country actually being under occupation wasn't vital.

The 16 men are on a dead man’s *treasure chest*, and not, like, on a guy’s physical chest (like a tattoo)
― Οὖτις, Saturday, 28 July 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
"One for the money and done for the rest" refers to the fact that all but one of those sixteen men are dead, too, and all the treasure belongs to the last one left alive.

No results found for "one for the money and done for the rest".

it’s not like there’s an authoritative version of that song that actually means stuff at this pointbut it’s fifteen men not sixteen

David Axelrod's a white guy

the musician or the politician?

the latter. There's a musician named David Axelrod?

anyway I would've sworn I'd seen pictures of David Axelrod the political consultant before, and would've sworn he was black, but he actually just had a mustache. Was I thinking of Eric Holder? Maybe.

I think there's a new reissue of one of the David Axelrod William Blake lps, just saw it in a review section from I think this month.Did some really great funky semi orchestral stuff and the Electric Prunes lps before he replaced teh actual band members.Worth checking out if you're not already familar with him

Probably not the right thread for this but I just found that the film director in "Singin' in the Rain" being slowly driven crazy by having to record sound was Kim Fowley's father.
