what's the thread for when two songs sound oddly similar to the degree one melts into the other?

Earworm mashups: the thread for having multiple songs stuck in your head maybe?

Yes thank you!!!

I'm sure we had a thread where we ask for spoilers, asking other people to explain plot points in a book or a film. searching for 'spoilers' or 'explain' didn't turn out up in first 10 or so pages of results.

There is an annual film poll thread, but 2022’s has not been run yet

sic hosted the polls for 2020 and 2021

The ILX Film Poll 2020: Drive-Ins and Staying In

Legend Of The Ten Zings - the 2021 ILX Film Poll Results Thread

I was mad at him when he started the 2021 film poll in January 2022 before I had a chance to see any of the films, but the discussion on that thread ended up being very interesting

I think I’ve done the last five, but I was only going to say “three” until I remembered images for a 2017 release

There's also this thread, maybe more pertinent?
Help me identify the cover artwork on this wall I found in a photo of a bedroom on a property website.

emil.y, Sunday, 24 September 2023 22:23 (eight months ago) link

that's the one I was trying to think of, but the record store one is more appropriate - check out the cool photos I found!

out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Sunday, 24 September 2023 22:28 (eight months ago) link

lol I searched all variations of "record" "album" "apartment" and "rental" to no avail

i can never find the thread about how music will never sound more important than when you were in your 20s? i think it was a joan crawford thread?

Also, there is this one:
The music from your teen years will remain the best music ever for the rest of your life. Right or wrong?

Somewhere we had a thread where we posted pictures of our liquor cabinets a few years ago, but it's not in list contents of yr liquor cabinet/booze shelf here and it doesn't seem to be in the 2k10 i am learning to make cocktails. this is my mixology thread . Any ideas?

noize board post, possibly JW? talking about overhearing a guy on his mobile saying:

"(girl's name) thinks I'm (forgot this) and (girl's name) thinks I'm Little Lord Fauntleroy (gets voice down to a whisper) the truth is, I am both."

somewhere there's a simple recipe for cornbread using a skillet, i think from user Tracer Hand, on one of the more active cooking / baking threads. anyone?

budo jeru, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 16:42 (three months ago) link

I think here?

baking: does it come easily to you?

feel like there used to be a thread about "replacing lyrics to popular songs" or "versions of popular songs we sing to ourselves with different lyrics" or something. search hasn't picked up what i'm looking for. anyone know what i'm talking about?

circa 2010 there was a live video of bono just, like, scatting while some kickass west african band played behind him

it was among the worst things i've ever seen and i'd really like to share it with a friend

Where's the thread from a few years ago for identifying the origin of well-known musical themes, e.g. the 9-note 'oriental' riff or the 'spooky house' riff? I have one of said themes stuck in my head (not either of those) and need to know what it is as it's driving me mad.

Someone posted a link to a bastard-difficult film quiz - it was stills from films and (I think) multiple-choice answers. I *think* it was posted during the build-up to the Morbsies but I could be wrong. Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?

I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Sunday, 12 May 2024 16:33 (two weeks ago) link
