I don't hate it, but it sounds more like it should be called "Outlaw Girl" or something. But I'm also still into folk punk in the year of our lord 2022 so like who am I to judge?

I'll have to go back and watch the video next time, but I listened to it while doing other stuff and it sounded like a dope, kinda grimey theme song for a 90s cartoon

okayyyyy so i forgot this thread existed but i love this btw this is exactly the sorta shit i would see at a dive bar in front of like thirty people max and it was great, gonna have to go through the rest of the thread too i got wistful about my old band so i uploaded a demo from like a decade ago, it's pretty good until it isn't! this was only 2/3 of the band and my drumset in general was so shitty, as was our recording equipment, but i still love it tbh and am so glad i found it in my emails tonight

whoops wrong thread uhhh origami angel's album was a good pop punk one eh?

This is more holiday tv than holiday films, but I know a lot of people here have fondness for Hey Arnold!/this particular episode. I'd never seen this article about the making of the Christmas special with Mr Hyunh; it's such a sweet and wholesome read. (Also the episode "Arnold's Christmas" is def on vimeo and it really does hold up super well)

time? what's that? oh thanks

I really like Jenny's video on this shitty, shitty musical but also! if you haven't seen it Sarah Z's video is also quite good. Jenny's more focuses on the terrible plot while Sarah spends more time talking about how awful they did adapting it from stage to screen, so they're both long videos of people staring into a camera and talking about a bad movie but they're kinda complimentary!

i hope this doesn't mean i'm about to learn about another spawn of tom hanks and have a white walker winter or whatever

When I worked retail my answer would have been "fucking all of them." Now that I don't spend 40+hrs/week listening to it from October through MLK Day...my answer is "all of them, yeah, but they're more annoying than awful."

1. Taskmaster (NZ) 2. Res Dogs 3. Only Murders in the Building 4. Taskmaster (UK) 5. What We Do in the Shadows 6. The Other Two

exactly, it was kinda interesting for a while and then turned into just another boring marvel laser fight.

Oh hell yeah, good for Self Esteem getting number in the Guardian; her album was quite good, I don't know if I'm just not used to pop releases but the album did suffer a little from having already heard like half the songs by the time it came out. That, smol data, and Japanese Breakfast's albums were good. I'm sure there's other stuff that came out but I haven't been super into anything I've heard from this year, though I still need to listen to stuff like the new Mountain Goats and Wiki.

I quite liked Outsiders. I find myself sometimes exasperated saying "Jamaaaaaaaali" to myself. The show wouldn't work if the contestants didn't work so well together imo, but that was a very well-cast first season

i've still been thinking about this and came to the conclusion that i don't really care about seeing people or songs i've never seen before, i'd just much rather be able to go back to shows i was at and relive them. anyway all this to say that one of those times is definitely when i saw the mountain goats in bloomington indiana and they played you were cool BUT i got like fifteen phone calls in five minutes so i left the show before the end and i wish i could go back and see it all

hmm i mean this is a topic for another thread but i wonder about that. i think that fugazi is most definitely more broadly influential across a wide variety of genres but like....rites of spring *is* emo

i have seen ian mackaye a couple times! not performing or anything, he was just still going to dc punk shows when i was living around there not that he was rites of spring but like if you like them you presumably like fugazi too!

this might be kind of basic, but historically i'd love to have seen The Rite of Spring on opening night

The only Russell Howard moment I remember disliking was

Does MGK get discussed here solely because we're a wrestling board and he's performed for WWE or is he actually a thing?

Yeah this is a really good cast, should be a fun series! VCM is just always always always delightful. I also finished the second series of NZ Taskmaster the other day and fuuuck those last two episodes were amazing. David Correos' performance in the diss track task is one of my favorite performances by any cast member in any task.

iirc its only the first two series that netflix doesn't have. plus one of the series isn't under the regular bake off, its called something like "bake off: the beginnings" and then they/PBS also fucked around with the order a bit for the first couple series they aired.

I wanted to like the new What We Do in the Shadows and overall I still did (especially Guillermo as a prisoner) but I'm really not sold on the premise of the season so far.
