What Are You Watching / Listening Right Now ?
-
Jurassic park marathon with my daughter. Bob Peck as as Muldoon ftw.
-
Pffft, Americans and their stream...
-
Watching the new season of Sherlock. He uses a technique called the mind palace. Strangely similar to Brain Palace, no?
What I'm saying is, Sherlock Holmes is M.D. Geist.
-
The mind palace shit was the dumbest thing I ever saw.
-
I had a math teach last year tell me about that whole technique.
-
I don't care about the science. The problem I have is that Minority Report bullshit they put on the teevee.
-
Is that supposed to be like the Hannibal Lecter memory palace?
-
Just keep the Death Force out of this, whatever you do.
-
@Creaty: That's the first thing I thought of when I read about this, and it's just as stupid in the context of Sherlock. You disappoint me, Steven Moffat.
-
Watched all of Model Suit Gunpla Builders because it took less than an hour to watch all of it. I liked it, I guess the word I would use to describe it is "quaint".
-
I don't want to think about Sherlock being about to summon a swarm of reproducing, killer robots with a thought.
-
I looked at all the contents of 'Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan', basically 70+ Dylan covers and most seem either meh or bad, but Flogging Molly's cover of 'The Times They Are a Changing' is surprisingly good. I'm not even a flogging molly fan.
-
I'm considering it: The Netflixes. Do I do streaming? Discs? Both? I've no experience with this service.
-
I would do streaming or both. 98% of my Netflix viewing is streaming. I only get DVDs occasionally when there's something obscure that I need to watch.
-
Like Past Martyred Saints, eh?
Also, this producer has sold me on almost everything he does. That includes associating with Soulja Boy.
-
Squirrel: Gotcha. I may start with streaming and then see if I need to tack on DVDs, then.
Sony: Yess, more stuff to listen to. And yeah, I like the album quite a bit. I'm sad I hadn't run into it sooner. -
I forgot about Wandering Son, in my defense it came out earlier in the year. I would drop anything else you might consider watching to see this first. You can find it on crunchyroll too.
-
Gonna pick up the manga before I watch the show, I think.
-
This is a good song
-
Indeed, Milk. I listen to it whenever I'm feeling down. The buildup to the cancer part actually makes me weepy.
-
Well, I just spent 5 dollars on Amazon. I need more pleasant music tinged with melancholy:
-
I love that album. One of the few things that make me kind of proud to be from Illinois.
-
And now I'm listening to:
This is the version with sax, so stick with it. It's so great. -
It's long, but pretty fun to listen to.
-
Better than the original? Yes. It's genetically predisposed to be awesome. -
Nope, Pearl Jam still sucks. Even she can't fix that. :D
-
I will fight you Riley. Big pain sufferer vs small pain sufferer. Let's go.
-
Does listening to Pearl Jam count as a "big pain" because IT SURE FEEL LIKE IT DO.
-
Now it's on. I meant big as your size by the way.
-
Why all the Pearl Jam hate? Can't a man enjoy Eddie Vedder?
-
Pearl Jam is one of those bands I can't listen to anymore. I've never examined it long enough to figure out why.

No. -
I still love you, Pearl Jam. It's ok. Don't listen to the haters.
-
That Eddie Vedder pick is pretty great. Right back at you, Eddie. Why don't you go right some more inexplicably well received folk rock. If this land is so big, why can't I get away from the sound of your voice?
-
I never realized there was so much hate for Pearl Jam.
-
I think Joel hit the nail on the head. Every single rock station, whether it leans modern or older, overplays music from the 90s. I used to bleed Nirvana, now I can't stand them. And yes, people still listen to the radios (but only in their cars).
-
I'm probably the only one who guns for Catholic talk radio in the car, aren't I?
-
Nice. I switch back and forth between NPR and top 40 dance / hip-hop / rap.
-
I go NPR, WXPN, and then everything else. I usually end up just listening to NPR though. Curse my cars lack of an aux input.
-
Aux in. I listen to Pandora.
-
99% of the time, I just plug my phone into the car. Hyundai is a smart manufacturer; my Sonata has a USB port and a 1/8" audio jack. Used to have XM radio service, too, but I couldn't justify the monthly fee.
Still, religious radio! And Glenn Beck if it's before noon on a weekday. Oh lawdy, I hate myself so. -
I don't have a car, but when I listen to radio, I listen to CHOM 97.7 The Spirit of Rock, Montreal!

if you plan on reading the manga, don't watch the anime until you're done. the anime takes place in the later portions of the manga so you will be spoiled by the anime. -
I've never liked Pearl Jam and still don't. I don't see how they were considered to be stylistically similar to bands like Nirvana in the first place.
-
I don't get the Nirvana connection, either, aside from their contemporaneous emergence. Ex-girlfriend of mine once said that the rule in Austria was you'd ask people if they liked Pearl Jam or Nirvana as a screening test. If they said Pearl Jam, you couldn't be friends with them. When I told her I liked both bands, she was flabbergasted. "Nobody likes both of them!" But she didn't like the Black Crowes, either, so WHATEVER.

I have a sort of similar relationship with a lot of Radiohead's output, come to think of it. There was a period in high school when there were days where they were literally all I listened to, especially in my depressive moods (yes, I was That Kid, though thankfully I was never presumptive enough to really believe they were The Greatest Band Ever (just one of them)), so much so that I now associate them with depression to the point that I find the idea of listening to OK Computer, The Bends, and the rest legitimately uncomfortable. Thankfully King Of Limbs was actually rather upbeat by their standards.
As for Pearl Jam, they sound like just about every other band from the nineties, and thus I am not too fond of them. I missed my opportunity to be a fan of them and Nirvana, I think.
