bands should play live albums live

recreate the stage banter from famous sets
any infamous fights
mistakes re-made

Iacocca Cola (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 May 2024 16:40 (three months ago) link

Neanderthal have you heard The Residents “cover album” of James Brown’s live at the apollo? They recreate all the ad libs and banter and the introduction etc, very strange sounding of course

oh no but see I knew someone had to have done it!

I really want a t-shirt that says "Ask me about my SHIRT" - does this exist?

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 18:24 (three months ago) link

I feel like a "Don't ask me about my SHIRT" t-shirt would be better

I'm going to write a book where I dress as a 70s disco habitué and reveal my encounters with rockism in present-day society.

Right-winger sets out to write "Gay Like Me"

... ends up publishing "Gay Me".

pplains, Friday, 31 May 2024 16:18 (three months ago) link

Wouldn’t “Gay Like Me” imply a person going undercover as gay to see how gay people are treated, and thus not be a right wing idea?

man alive! Hey

the reverse is a book about how someone who was previously intolerant grew to embrace gay culture, called Me Like Gay

A coffee place called "Small Bach Roasters." The logo is a tiny J.S. Bach (perhaps with his tininess emphasized by a coffee mug for scale)

Remaster of Ken Burns' "The Civil War" except instead of slow pans across bloody battlefields, A.I. is used to animate Matthew Brady's photos.

Just picturing a sepia three-eared Stonewall Jackson, his mouth fluttering open and closed like a tarp tied too loosely to the back of a pick-up truck.

putting tea into an espresso machine to make concentrated shots of extremely strong tea

then you could add water to make it just like normal tea again. this would be called the "teamericano"

Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Friday, 5 July 2024 14:41 (two months ago) link

There's a dude I follow on instagram who demos all kinds of espresso equipment and sometimes he does weird stuff like putting cocoa in the portafilter or a lemon at the bottom of it. Possible he's tried tea bags.

I've had the sound of this stuck in my head for a week - it's a hip-hop cover of Fast Car in shitty rap-singing (think like 50 Cent singing a hook), but it's completely straight, no changes to the lyrics, done all the way through.

somehow that reminds me of an idea i had to develop a mythology where "altered states" is a sequel to "jungle 2 jungle", where the william hurt character leaves academia and goes into the private sector and becomes tim allen

A 2024 record by ? and the Mysterians called "58 Years", where the singer details all the horrible life events that have happened to the female subject of the song in the decades since she left him and he recorded "96 Tears"

I would prefer if John Matrix were the one trying to get into the house, like maybe he put the wrong address in google maps for where his kidnapped daughter is being held.

Someone else's terrible idea - a keyring for your car keys that's a miniature of your car's number plate. Terrible because if you lose your keys, whoever picks them up could then find your car and steal it.

a reality television show where they bring on people who are known for telling outlandish tall tales about things that allegedly happen to them to look badass, and then acquaintances of that person who were there when these events happen, with the latter throwing cold water on the cool stories OP was telling and sharing what actually happened.

"one time I stole a car and was chased by the police"

"no actually, you borrowed your mother's car, with permission, and the cops were chasing another vehicle ahead of you and you pulled over"
