I don’t know that my absolute favorite artist has a bad song. But here are a few songs I hate by artists that I love:

Bloc Party (original lineup/first 4 albums): 3 x 3. Not sure why, just feels anxious in a bad way? Always a skip for me.

Keane: Ishin Denshin (You’ve Got To Help Yourself). This is a cover from an EP so maybe too deep of a cut, but man do I hate this track. Just feels cloying and awkward. Like they were trying to recreate the original but were too in awe of it.

Peter Bjorn and John: The Feeling. The first track from their true followup to Writer’s Block. Just feels like it’s a song that’s weird for the sake of being weird.

Well yeah, but what this image doesn’t mention is what would happen to the shareholders if we had paid leave for all in the US 😰 /j

One of the best names in the game, easy.

Gen Z job seekers should be allowed to steal everything this person owns.

To this day, I love to suggest my tech friend switch to Lindows as a joke. Still kills if they get it, otherwise I have to explain “so it’s this old Linux distribution…”

I know there is a wide variety of times but I feel like 2/3rds of the farmer’s markets near me are at inconvenient times for me. “3-7PM on a weekday” nope, “8AM-12PM on sunday” MAYBE if I wake up early and am feeling adventurous.

Darmok, S5E2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I’ve done it once or twice in the early days to see what was up, never since then.

I read this article and my main takeaway was: that Bling Bling song sucks.

25 cents have been added to my swear jar, don’t worry!!

71 on Metacritic, 6.8 user score. Not bad! Will definitely be getting it if it works well on Steam Deck.

2024: album that has my attention is Prelude to Ecstasy by The Last Dinner Party. Glorious, dramatic chamber pop with many lyrical nods for the History majors in your life.

2023: Javelin by Sufjan Stevens + Expert In A Dying Field by The Beths. Suf is the easy choice but man is it good and, in typical fashion, heart-breaking. I don’t know how The Beths continue to make their style sound fresh, but they do. The songwriting, harmonies, guitar work, all so excellent.

2022: The Festival by Tim Baker + Revealer by Madison Cunningham. Tim Baker just doesn’t miss. Leaning heavily into the horns and soul influence, but still grounded in composed, mature folk-pop. Madison Cunningham on the other hand varies style a good deal but it works every time. Great guitar, interesting compositions, lyrically strong.

2021: Peace Or Love by Kings of Convenience + Stunning & Atrocious by Fleece. Kings of Convenience, your modern-day Norwegian Simon & Garfunkel, return in perfect form. Feist returns for a few tracks, every song is strong. Fleece level up from complex guitar-heavy indie-rock to delicious funky indie-pop. The most fun I’ve ever seen a band have together on stage was seeing them play this album.

2020: Half-Empty by The Little Hands of Asphalt + Every Bad by Porridge Radio. Missed Half-Empty until a year ago but wow, it’s such a stellar singer-songwriter album - string arrangements are mouthwateringly good. Begs to be listened to as an album. Every Bad is, to me, pure catharsis in musical form. Vocal performances on tracks like Circling and Sweet are gut wrenching.

Favorite songs not in any of these: Oh How We Drift Away by Tim Heidecker & Weyes Blood (this is what I’d put as my Song of the Decade so far), Feelings Meeting by Living Hour ft. Jay Som, Jackie Down The Line by Fontaines D.C., Your Light by The Big Moon, Hounds of Hell by The Phoenix Foundation ft. Nadia Reid.

I’ve gotten a couple in the past few months, and it definitely seems to be a thing/have been a thing: https://www.howtogeek.com/721043/why-youre-getting-so-much-signal-spam-and-what-you-can-do/ https://www.androidpolice.com/signal-is-taking-the-fight-to-spammers-with-new-message-requests/

Just in time for the Bell Riots 👀

I had a manual for about 75k miles, mostly liked it, but have had an automatic since then (inheritence coming into play, free car = free car). I had a little Chevy Spark EV for about a year that was a joy. Honestly, not having to change gears at all is AWESOME. You don’t think about the motion caused by even the best of manual shifts (let alone terrible CVT shifts) until it’s not there. It’s so much smoother to get up to speed and I loved it.

Waiting for battery tech to get a little better and running out my current car (Shoutouts to Toyota), then will be going back to an electric car.

I had the same thought at the description!! Loved that from Kiell
