Shaved my head, proper buzz cut It's different after almost looking like syd barrett but im having it I'd like to imagine a scenario where a guy goes up to a barber, says he wants to look like Syd Barrett, imagining something like this images.app.goo.gl/VnUuMPnPnE4hked18... and then the barber's only point of reference would be this images.app.goo.gl/gpQtXuvDm2uGHuqE8Edit: First I read it like you said you looked a bit like Syd Barrett after you had cut it, as opposed to before - I'm then happy to tell you that you might still look like him!

I never want to eat or drink again. In fact, I'd like to never wake up again. I'm sick of feeling so sub-human, year after year after year. Just let it all slip down the drain. Sorry to hear about that, hope you get to feel better soon.

Good poll! With that said it's an easy choice for me - Guess God Thinks I'm Abel all the way.

The best of the bunch we've heard so far. But like with Once it does sound a bit like a radio edit as someone said, going from the second chorus almost immediately into the third feels a bit off, I wouldn't have minded a first rate guitar solo inbetween them. And the song could honestly have benefited from being a minute longer.

So your response to his thorough counterarguments is basically "why do you care so much?" But maybe that's the way people debate upon the intellectual hills where you reside. And on the point of caring too much, I watch Fantano once or twice a week, I like him but I'm not a passionate fan. However, when someone makes the ridiculous claim that he's using racist dogwhistling in that Future review, one "evidence" being him saying that people don't listen to Future because of the lyrics, then I will speak up. Yes, come to the Black person and say that the dog whistle they're hearing is ridiculous. Y'all are special. It takes a lot of privilege to say, "I'll speak up" for another privilege white guy against the Black person criticizing them. Maybe the less ridiculous premise, and pretty simple one by the way, is that you guys don't come from a cultural background that allows you to hear dog whistles and that's why they're called dog whistles? But no, that wouldn't be the case. Anyways, I've moved on from this conversation because with each response it becomes fairly apparent that this isn't going anywhere and each person has dug in, and I'm not going to keep on taking up forum space. That example was ridiculous. Criticizing someone for being a bad lyricist has NOTHING to do with race, end of story. Sure, "speak up" was a slightly cringey choice of words, I'll give you that. "Anyways, I've moved on from this conversation because with each response it becomes fairly apparent that this isn't going anywhere" Can't argue with that.

Any Nick Cave fans here recommend me something NOT Where the Wild Roses grow (Which I know) Starting to become interested in his style. Anything from The good son Let love in Push the sky away At least, those are my favorite albums. The latest one is sublime as well, I just don't know it that well yet. Lone songs I would not want to live without Mercy seat Into my arms Bring it on As for where the wild roses grow, if you never heard it, look for the version with blixa Bargeld. Nothing against Kylie, but I once was absolutely obsessed by the blixa versions. I began listening to him a while ago, and I'm absolutely obsessed with 'Song of Joy' from Murder Ballads. Storytelling of the highest level, especially when you learn about the song's "twist", which is included in a brilliant way.

I'm sorry, but you were obviously incorrect. You said that Fantano "disregards hip-hop and female artists", and I'll be honest, I think you probably know that isn't true at this point, which is why we have this post that both ignores the statement and then attempts to hang my scorn for it as a dismissal of completely different points. It is one of the most ridiculous takes I've seen on this forum, though, so I think your abandoning it is pretty wise. And, of course, it isn't my place to tell a black man what's insensitive or not, but I don't think that video does much to further the view that Fantano's reviews have any racial biases. Do you think people listen to Future for his lyrics? It seems pretty obvious to me that his music is meant to be about vibe, atmosphere, and creating emotion through sound, rather than someone like Black Thought who is focused almost entirely on his lyrics. I don't think it's a dog-whistle to recognise that, it's just understanding the type of music you're listening to. Similarly strange to me is that idea that Fantano only likes a certain type of black album, namely intellectualised, lyrical-miracle types that aren't abrasive. He gave ASTROWORLD, a black, trap-flavoured, non-lyrical album a positive review, while at the same time giving frequent lower scores to the lyrical mastermind himself, J Cole. Denzel Curry is a black, trap-influenced, abrasive, and non-lyrical rapper, and Fantano has given almost all his projects positive reviews. Meanwhile, Busdriver, a black hyper-lyrical rapper, got a red-flannel 5/10 on his last project. I mean, maybe you're right that he doesn't have any great love for trap music. Maybe he does prefer rap that is lyrics-based, or genre-pushing. But he still reviews trap thoroughly, explains his point of view, and gives his honest opinion, and does the same for the music he might have a natural preference for. I don't think any of that is enough to hang accusations of racial bias on the man. I will say, though, that you're right about his past of mixing with horrible anti-SJW internet types. If he was still talking with Sargon of Akkad, or appearing in "Questions for Feminists" videos, I wouldn't watch his content. Thankfully, he has said he regrets being part of those things, and recently has become a lot more progressive, appearing on leftist female podcast Angie Speaks, having conversations with trans-female leftist Contrapoints, and making fun of Ben Shapiro pretty regularly, which is always nice to see. And as for him being a critic who follows the trends and doesn't give any unexpected scores...well: And yet you go on for a whole paragraph doing exactly that. Fantano is the strangest of intellectual hills to die on. So your response to his thorough counterarguments is basically "why do you care so much?" But maybe that's the way people debate upon the intellectual hills where you reside. And on the point of caring too much, I watch Fantano once or twice a week, I like him but I'm not a passionate fan. However, when someone makes the ridiculous claim that he's using racist dogwhistling in that Future review, one "evidence" being him saying that people don't listen to Future because of the lyrics, then I will speak up.

Lol I don't count To Pump a Butterfly. That's a universally regarded album. That doesn't prove anything. As a film critic, I think he's not great for criticism in general. But that's just me. I'd love you to give a reason why it's fair to say Fantano disregards hip-hop music or female artists. I mean, look at the video that got people talking about him on here just now, his weekly track round-up, and look at what he gave best song of the week. It's Hot Girl Summer. Y'know, a song that's literally by two female rappers. He's praised Billie Eilish as having one of the best albums of the year, is basically a Charlie XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen stan, and his best score for 2019 is a rap album. Not liking the guy is fine, but some of the reasons people come up with to justify it are very strange, particularly when 90% of them boil down to either "I find him annoying" or "he dislikes stuff I like". Come on, I've seen him make NOTGOOD-segments on multiple hip-hop albums, as well as one by Miley Cyrus.

Once is fine. To quote matt earlier, the veneer shines brightly when it's listened to frequently. Its a good song but it suffers from its cliché tone, and its predictable & polished nature. DITW is basically the reason we are all here. It's the sort of song Noel could muster up at will back in the '90s during his songwriting peak. Pure vulnerable and sincere emotion. It's a complete and raw display of his talent. Not to mention: A song with lyrics that aren't instantly forgettable. Can't really be said about anything from his latest EP.

Can I ask you why? Thanks though haha It's because you titled it "half-assed cover" Ah, that was because it's only one verse Maybe a bit misleading though, I'll give you that.

I love when people make assumptions about people based on nothing.
As for this song, it would probably be better if it didn't feature Noel Gallagher.

I thought it was kind of funny tbh. Him not being even near their talent and him seemingly being a dick in general, well that's another discussion.

TOP TEN COLDPLAY SONGS:1. Violet Hill 2. Reign of Love 3. Hurts Like Heaven 4. Yellow 5. Strawberry Swing 6. Charlie Brown 7. Speed of Sound 8. 42 9. The Scientist 10. Major Minus I'm not a fan, but what do the die hards think about Amsterdam? I think it's brilliant, and it's either that one or Violet Hill for the first spot.

Proud of you @driver7 I know it’s really scary to share when you sing just for enjoyment and not as a performer. Here’s moi serenading (bf on guitar) while we were jammin with some Beatles tunes. Just a very short clip cos I’m a melt. clyp.it/2tdlcblx?token=df54a1eda187d6e0fe27237664b17265 You live up to your name!

Wow, that was quite something. Most trolls don't put that much work into it, but he sure did. It must have taken him hours to come up with all those bullshit scenarios, it almost makes you wonder if he got off sexually from tricking people or something. Absolute madman.
