    I'm proud to say that I never effin' liked them, since I always thought the SB sample in "I'm Ready" was clunky, awkward, and low-key obnoxious. Why they've had any modicum of success is beyond me lel.

    The SBC Community Mixtape #4

    While there are three funk classics here (y'all can guess which ones), I decided to go a bit left-field with my other two picks, which is why Mancunian post-punk band A Certain Ratio and Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar are on here, to show the influence of funk on genres where you might not expect it. Also, the fact that no one had chosen a James Brown song yet is just criminal. 😛

    Anyway, here's my picks:

     

    Best and Worst of Entertainment 2018 Edition: The Lists Awaken

    in New Kelp City

    Posted

    Why is it that whenever I’m looking for best lists for new songs to check out, the #1 is something I’ve already listened to? (No, I will not spoil it, but I do like the song even if I’m not a huge fan of the band that made it.) Not blaming you personally, Steel, it’s just an odd coincidence I keep noticing.

    Also, I listened to The 1975’s “Give Yourself a Try” (I know it’s not on either list, but you brought it up in the comments on your best list) and while the lyrics are interesting, the guitar riff sounds so close to Joy Division’s “Disorder” that I think the remaining members of Joy Division should sue, lol. Not a good first impression of the band, honestly. Then again, speaking of British rock legends, I’ve heard the 1975’s new album has been compared to friggin’ OK Computer, so I might listen to the whole thing to see if it lives up to the hype.

    Also, haven’t heard anything from Run the Jewels (I really should, though) or much of anything DJ Shadow’s done since 2011, but the latter’s first two albums are pretty great, in my opinion. 

    Either way, thanks for the recommendations!

    Stephen Hillenburg Passes Away at 57

    in Bikini Bottom

    Posted

    SpongeBob was one of my favorite cartoons growing up, probably the first favorite cartoon I had ever. The show’s influence can be felt to this day through memes and the many aspiring animators on this thread and who knows where else, and it’s strange to see the person responsible for it pass away. While I was more of a regular on the infamous SBM, SBC has its fair share of great members, too, and it amazes me that this man’s creation brought so many people from different walks of life together. I can’t imagine what it’s like to live with ALS, it must have been really painful, but props to Hillenburg for working on his creation to the very end, and I hope he was surrounded by his loved ones in those final moments. Thank you, Stephen Hillenburg, and may you Rest In Peace.

    Don't know if you've answered this before (my activity leaves a lot to be desired), but how did you get into Danganronpa, what aspect of the series do you find the most appealing, and why?

    Close Enough

    in Culture Shock

    Posted

    Count me in as a Regular Show fan who wasn't impressed with the trailer, though not because of its increased edginess, surprisingly enough. To me, *based only on what's in the trailer,* Close Enough just seems like a rehash of what Regular Show was, and I was hoping JG Quintel would do something different with another show. Still, I'm not against checking it out to see if it will have those more emotional moments or at least be funny. I'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

    Your interest levels in SpongeBob

    in Bikini Bottom

    Posted

    Same as some other people here, I loved it as a kid but grew out of liking it as I got older only to complain about how terrible the newer seasons were. Nowadays, outside of PieGuy's "Every Season Reviewed" videos and that musical soundtrack I'm waiting to hear, my interest in SpongeBob is pretty darn low. Then again, seeing how most of Season 9B got glowing reviews from PieGuy and how two of his "good" picks for 9A entertained me ("Jailbreak" and "Eek! An Urchin"), my interest might be making a comeback. I certainly want to watch 9B now, that's for sure.

    I haven't heard of it nor do I ever plan to. Although, it was said that his album has been the most pirated album yet with more than 500,000 downloads. O_O Wow...

    You're looking at one of those 500,000 downloads right here. Given all the fucking around Kanye was doing with the album prior to its release, there was no way in hell I was going to pay for it even if Kanye did release it outside of Tidal. 

    Anyway, the one major problem I had with this album is that there wasn't enough Kanye on it (and no, the production doesn't count because he did each song with at least three or four other people). When you feel like a guest star on your own album, that's when you go back to the drawing board and step up your lyrical game. Yeezus may have had some of Kanye's most cringeworthy lyrics, but at least it felt like his album. Chance The Rapper's verse on Ultralight Beam, FML (especially the outro, which I fucking love for how creepy the sample sounds), Real Friends, No More Parties in LA, and the beat to Fade are the only parts worth salvaging from this project. Everything else I can take or leave.

    Changing the voting age: yay or nay?

    I think the voting age should stay right where it is because I really doubt 16 year olds would be mature enough (or know enough about politics) to make a serious, informed decision on who to vote for. Then again, considering how even 18 year olds can be immature and ignorant on politics (like myself), maybe the age should be raised even.
