The self-titled drags (Eazy), Tuesday, 1 November 2022 16:03 (one year ago) link

not really the thread for it, but i don't really use midbrow as an insult, more as a sociological (or bourdieuvian) descriptor for taste or for critical strategies and habits

my comment on mckuen was literal observed fact: here's a poet i've never read or heard a line by (and have no investment in in any direction) who since the 70s i've only ever encountered by name being denounced by midbrow commentators as (for this reason or that) by no means it

this is the kind of thing i find funny (time for bourdieu to write abt me eh)

mark s, Tuesday, 1 November 2022 16:32 (one year ago) link

aw i like rod mckuen, i've only heard a record or two, he's cozy imo, nothing wrong with that also imo.

reminds me of my journey from being disgusted by the comic strip cathy to ironically liking it to just plain liking it but i mean in small doses.

This morning my ADHD ear worms have decided it’s perfectly normal to loop the old Club Biscuit advert song combined with SFA ‘Rings Around The World’

“If you like
a lot of chocolate on your
RINGS AROUND THE WORLD”

It has been hours, send help

You want this thread
Earworm mashups: the thread for having multiple songs stuck in your head

If we're doing old adverts, Leonard Cohen 'Aint no cure for love' always ends up as the Brooke Bond 'I could do with a D' ad song for me...

feel like we need a new board called "rich bitches" where we can move all the threads like "why don't you drive an ev?" to

If you had sent this to Gruff, I'm sure he'd have used it!

Hang on, which thread is this?

I certainly won't post this in gyac's popular baseball thread--and nothing to do with the excellent post that led me here--but I'm again amused by the disconnect whereby nostalgia for 1982 and no interest in the game today = "are you . . . me?", while nostalgia for 1977 and skepticism about aspects of the game today = jaded.

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:08 (one year ago) link

I don’t think that’s what that post meant. I talk to Mookieproof about modern baseball all the time, he does not like everything/everyone I like and vice versa, same goes for you. I guess cos I’m both new to the game and not American I know that I get really impatient with some of the long standing aspects of the game, and some stuff is genuinely archaic, that is very much not the case for Mookieproof though.

after several days on “the milk,” (gyac), Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:14 (one year ago) link

Oh, I know mookie sometimes criticizes the game today; he just seems to think that me not getting excited about a four-pitcher no-hitter crosses some imaginary line into jadedness (while dismissively brushing aside my nostalgia for Reggie's three HR).

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:17 (one year ago) link

There seems to be three sets of rules there: one for mookie, one for '82 Cardinals fans (again, this is not a knock at all on ymp), and one for me.

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:18 (one year ago) link

the 1982 cardinals were so fun that there really is a different set of rules. they had rookie willie mcgee - it broke baseball

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:31 (one year ago) link

Combined no hitters are less exciting than a tight CG SHO IMO.

i have seen that thread all week and I keep thinking it's related to laundry

sarahell, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 07:21 (one year ago) link

recently tried to work out why I'd blocked a harmless-looking person on Twitter and realised that he'd replied to me with "parklife" on one occasion, immediately concluded that the block was more than justified.

SNL was at its best when you were 14. It started sucking when you were 15. This is true no matter your current age.
