Those two things have nothing to do with each other.

Well... yes. Given the multiple line spaces between one and the other - it was clear that the Chocolate remark was unrelated to the Battling image.

Well done you... finally being able to read social and communicative cues in text. Hooray.

I'm still voting for J_Tour.

Never liked Little Britain... thought it was a bit low-brow. I prefer higher level comedy.

Mr. Bean was brilliant - same with Seinfeld.

Both notable comics former students of Paul "Crocodile Hunter" Hogan, the pioneering comedian of the outback.

[perfect_pitch]

No... don't say that. Paul Hogan was barely funny and merely had a one hit wonder movie which he tried to elongate into 2 more movies which weren't as great, before doing other movies that sullied his reputation and had him shrink into obscurity.

That was... until the government realised he had duped them out of millions of dollars of tax revenue, prompting a younger generation of kids to google 'who the fxck is paul hogan?' along with 'was paul hogan ever funny?'.

I don't believe I've ever heard that.

Guess that means you're not a fan!

Really... Grandmas smoking weed? This is considered as comedy?

What would you consider it then, drama sci-fi fantasy? Best of all, it's a true story though.

[perfect_pitch]

Yeah... but no one really wants reality. Hell, it's why most reality shows have declined in popularity. It rots the brain; after all - look at all the kids on social media just sitting there glued to game streamers and their inane banter.

[lostinidlewonder]

I dunno, I don't go through this world complaining about things that I wouldn't do and other do do, unless it's important to me, but I don't find reality TV too important, the true story part looks true but it's not really true. I had a friend on Masterchef and he said it's certainly not what it looks like.

Nonsense.

If I had a nickel cylinder for every one of those youths who seek knowledge about the keyboard I'd be probably negative some cylinders.

The kids are OK.  They're just doing their own thing, man.  Their own Justin Bieber thing, man.  It's organic and rooted in tradition.

[perfect_pitch]

Justin Bieber is part of the problem... him and the other douche bags who now seem to look good on camera but have almost fxck all talent without their auto-tune and their lip-synching and idiotic aerobic instructed choreographic dance moves.

Musicians decades ago actually sang and wrote their own songs... not have some corporate fxckwit write it for them and turn them all into a bunch of karaoke singers.

Ehhh....you get it all out of your system?

Yes, well, IIRC Bieber was just a kid on a trap drums doing something or other on leTube.  Don't care one way or the other.

But, to echo something Bob Dylan (whom I do not care for, generally) said in an interview, "pop music, that is music for the corporation, it's all easy listening music, the rappers and hip-hop and pop stylists."

But at least in my diocese, we will have a Missa Solemnis for that old f*cker il Papa who croaked.

Beethoven, Mozart, Bach....all wrote beautiful Requiem masses.  Among so many other composers.

The structure is somewhat the same as the novus ordo, but, for example, the D minor requiem mass of Mozart is a nice example.  The Kyrie, and....well, he didn't finish it, but he would have done the Credo and possibly included the Salve Regina.  No way to know.   

Well, historians and musicologists would know better, but I just play piano and am not a scholar.

[perfect_pitch]

You may not be a scholar, but even you can appreciate that Justin Bieber is a cancer on the music scene and has been for the last 15 years.

A Britney Spears says what?

I like the compression on the trap drums, and would that they had applied it to the guitar.  I don't know, probably applied at the console, and they didn't have enough for the guitar overdubs.  Don't actually know.  It's a good DI bass sound, almost worthy of Paul Jackson, Jr., and the organ sounds good.  The wah does sound good with the guitar.

But nobody effing knows WTH chords JOS is playing during the extended walk-up....obviously, one can hear the leading tone and the bass line, and either hear or deduce the intermediary pitches....it doesn't make sense in Roman Numeral Analysis, aka functional harmony.

Maybe not mere mortals... but my entire life is just hearing chords and harmonies. Whether it's a PA chime at the airport, or listening to Bartok - all I see is the notes, and my brain fills in the rest.

It does get a bit exhausting after a while.

Do we have a 12th century translator here? We seem to have either discovered a time traveller, or someone who is so old he was mates with Shakespeare.

Either way - no one can understand him... also, I believe you meant to say 'fight back'
