KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:I thought he went upstairs and never came back down, or was that someone else? It's possible, i thought i remembered him officially going off to school, but poking around the web a bit says he just stopped showing up without explanation some time in season 2. Also, i just found out he was played by two different actors before vanishing, and was already a college student.

I don't think Australian unions have that format. Have a song using that format https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsVH_lYFLyY

I just found out country singer Patsy Cline died in a plane crash and not from cancer or something. I also have no idea whatsoever why I would have thought that.

Part of the deal is that they were so new to recording that the singer was standing on his tiptoes and yelling trying to reach the overhead mic And then the FBI got involved because it was supposedly obscene. Somewhere I heard a good podcast about it e: this one https://www.kcrw.com/culture/shows/lost-notes/louie-louie-the-strange-journey-of-the-dirtiest-song-never-written

I just learned that Tricky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3R_3h6zQEs did not sample Portishead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ylDDs3mdJE But instead, they are both independently sampling an Isaac Hayes song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfVbrPoLc3w

Helith posted:mind officially blown  (again)I love learning stuff about music, so sites like whosampled are super cool. I had thought I had "solved" it back in like 96 so I hadn't thought to look into that bass line in all these years untill I was watching a video about the making of Glory Box yesterday. And now I learned even more. It rules. e: Produce Like a Pro is awesome. So is Trash Theory which is who kicked this all off for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ3PkIiwTGU a kitten has a new favorite as of 16:03 on Mar 20, 2021 |

When i first moved to Seattle, someone told me that the reason the streets were so weird is because they were designed by two people who hated each other. And I was like "haha, funny". Much later I learned that no, that was actually pretty much the case. Except there were three guys and three layouts: due north, 32 degrees west of north, and 49 degrees west of north https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_layout_of_Seattle They went with "all of the above" so the grids just kind of mash into each other

I feel like i must have known better at some point in the past, but i'm reading a history of the American indie music scene and i just realized i've been mixing up the Minutemen (Mike Watt) and Minor Threat (Ian MacKaye pre Fugazi) for a long time now.

Thanks to a sudden bout of listening to Kate Bush i just learned that i had no idea what the novel Wuthering Heights is actually about. I mean, i knew "turbulent love story", two names, and something about moors i suppose, but that's it. There's a lot more revenge, and death, and ghosts apparently. Maybe i should read the drat thing.

Failed Imagineer posted:Just going from instinct, but you could try Down in the Hole, or taking a grizzly ballad like Burma-Shave or Alice up an octave. Or Martha, that would work. I liked the version of Time that Tori Amos did (which isn't from that album but you just reminded me of it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtythil5qwY

I just learned two things about bowling balls: first, they have multiple layers (this isn't much of a surprise to me), but also, the core can be quite irregular (which is).

My perception of what "old" is, especially for musicians, has sure changed a lot. I had pretty much the same reaction to this information as this guy https://twitter.com/MattOswaltVA/status/1391205419289223169?s=19

Although I've never watched it, I've been aware of the TV miniseries Roots for long time, I knew it was (maybe still is) one of the most viewed programs ever, that it was a huge cultural moment, that it was packed with prominent African American actors, and maybe even that it was the leads first role I somehow didn't know that that lead was LeVar Burton

Drimble Wedge posted:Stations don't come up with their own call letters, though? Here's a thing we both just learned quote:While the earliest radio call signs were randomly or sequentially assigned and intended merely to distinguish transmitters, they soon became an important part of a station's identity, and since the mid-1920s government regulators have allowed station owners to choose their own. I knew they weren't random (for example here in seattle the station KEXP is affiliated with and broadcasts from the Experience Music Project) but i thought they were assigned by i dunno the FCC or something
