The dude’s been making music since 1965, I’m surprised him and Art Garfunkel are still at it.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Understandable. I mean, that’s, what, over fifty years?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Almost 55 years.

Paramore recently announced that they’re no longer going to play “Misery Business” in concert.
 
I have mixed feelings about this.

So, apparently, NSP is playing on Conan tonight!
 
I have to wonder what song they’ll be doing, since a majority of their songs aren’t exactly suitable for TV.

@TheHappySpaceman  
NSP?

@ILoveMyoozik  
Ninja Sex Party.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Oh

@TheHappySpaceman  
My money’s on “Danny, Don’t You Know?”. Or it would be, if gambling wasn’t a one-way ticket to Non-Cool Hell.

@lasty  
Perhaps. It’s the only one where the swearing could potentially be removed. Either that or “Cool Patrol.”

X-Raided is finally out of jail!

Such a good song.

When Celestia had to banish Luna to the Moon, I could imagine Celestia recording this song to cope with her unfortunate decision.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Damn, now I’m crying.

Lil Pump and Kanye West’s “I Love It” has the same bassline as Tyga’s “Rack City” from years ago. And perhaps the same BPM, too.

So, I just stumbled upon the original demo version of “Gimme Sympathy” by Metric.
 
It’s kind of interesting how different it is from the released version, both in its overall instrumentation and in how it has completely different verses.

So, I just recently found Steam Powered Giraffe and I love it.
 
Honeybee was the first song of theirs I found.

So, Slash’s newest album was a snoozefest for about half of the songs. Sad, because I was genuinely looking forward to it.

@TheHappySpaceman  
“Slash” and “snoozefest” in the same sentence? That’s something I never thought I’d hear.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I genuinely can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or if you’re being serious. Though TBF, I’ve asked some other people and they gave really sarcastic replies like, “omg you’re looking forward to a Slash album in 2018???”
 
The thing is, the album is twelve songs long, and six of them are slower songs. And look, I get it. Sometimes, an album needs to change the tone and the pace. I don’t mind the 13-15 track Apocalyptic Love having 3-4 slower songs, or the 17 track World on Fire having two points where it slows down a bit, 5-6 songs total.
 
What I do mind is a 12 song album where you can tell where they crowbarred out the bangers to save them for the upcoming Guns N’ Roses album and left the three singles, a few harder deep cuts, and six long, slow songs that don’t so much murder the pacing as kidnap it, force it to watch as its family is killed by a firing squad, and then hang it in the most torturously drawn out way possible.
 
They’re also so much lower in quality than before. Probably has something to do with having to hammer it all out in the very short time period between Slash finishing up the last leg of the Not In This Lifetime… Tour with GNR and starting the first leg of his new tour with Myles promoting this album.
