splbt Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Has anyone ever slipped on a banana peel ? How many people does this type of accident effect a year ? had a high school teacher (in '09 or something) slip on one while walking down a hallway, so it might still be a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 There was an episode of mythbusters where they covered a small concrete rink in banana peels and tried to cross from one end to the other. Lot of falling IIRC. I wonder what Kari from mythbusters is up to these days but I'm not internet stalker-y enough to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) is pop perfection. Ditto for Take A Chance On Me. If I were to ever buy a greatest hits compilation it would probably be Abba. When they hit, they hit hard. Those arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was no joke just about to post about gimme! gimme! gimme! just spent like four days trying to remember where that melody was from and finally found it tonight. I think I was thinking of Hung Up by Madonna which samples it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlisuite Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) is pop perfection. Ditto for Take A Chance On Me. If I were to ever buy a greatest hits compilation it would probably be Abba. When they hit, they hit hard. Those arrangements. I used to live right next to the open venue where the infamous Abba musical (Mamma Mia I think it was called) was played. For three years, the entire summer, I listened to rehearsals throughout the day, then to the main show in the evening. It sapped the last ounce of Abba appreciation I had. I don't want to hear another Abba chord. But yeah, I once thought they were quite alright myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I'm ever subjected to Abba is when I do it myself, and the last time was maybe 5 years ago when I went through their discography last... which I'm doing again now. Crafty bastards they were. Every instrument in every song is doing some melodic or rhythmic hook pretty much start to finish. That's pop in the truest sense of the word.

Zephyr_Nova Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Whilst trying to find examples of a band "one-sheet" I came across this inspirational bio nugget: They don’t like the term “boy band” but they also know that there's currently no country band on the charts that includes four musicians that play their own instruments and write their own songs that also happen to be the same age as the fans they play for." Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It's kind of weird that the work-rest cycle of 7 days is pretty much the same world-wide, except for some minor differences, and the whole thing is based on a Judeo-Christian creation myth. Is this really the optimal work-life balance? Can't we base this thing on science in the 21st century already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) The Verve were fantastic music secret squirrels. Lots of folks rave about their earlier releases compared to the world famous Urban Hymns, but I'm not so sure about that. Their best tracks are indeed on Urban Hymns but not any of the singles released!! Catching The Butterfly, Neon Wilderness, Space and Time, Weeping Willow, Velvet Morning. All killer tunes. Combined with Bittersweet Symphony, Lucky Man and The Rolling People makes this quite an exceptional album. Indeed.

Zephyr_Nova Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Listening to a Vampire Weekend album for the first time, the debut one. While I'm not a big fan of the music itself save a couple tracks, that Rostam guy is a fucking powerhouse talent. The string arrangements and production are far better than they have any right to be for someone's first attempt. So yeah, level of professionalism is staggering. I can see why this band exploded the way they did. A lot of the indie music cliches that make me chuckle are present, but that's likely the fault of the subsequent imitators for turning them into cliches. Interesting hearing something so clearly influential on more recent popular music for the first time. I didn't really have any idea what to expect.

ambermonk Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This probably sounds like overly broad existential crap. But I'm still having a hard time figuring out where we're headed as a species. I wonder if modern technology especially with the advent of smartphones and social media (I exclude internet because its inception was 30 years ago) has actually hampered our primate instincts at banding together for the sake of support and survival. Like it seems like being socially detached isn't an isolated case, but rather an increasingly widespread phenomenon. For I suspect the aforementioned technology is rewiring our brains, to a degree that we're socially handicapped. And that all this could attribute to the cultural and political divides we see today. Needless to say, I think this trend will make it much more difficult to tackle the global problems we face today, especially the elephant in the room that is climate change.Again, none of this is scientific or academic research in nature. Basically pontificating is all, but based on the daily information intake from online coupled with personal experiences and observations in the past three or four years. TBH I'm trying my best to explain something potentially important that I don't fully understand.Then again, this entire post could probably be summed up in a single dank meme.
