Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Dannyalcatraz]

This is something I miss. Beyond the feel, smell and sounds of physical media (which is I know nostalgia but still like it), the liner notes, the printed lyrics, that stuff really added the the experience for me. Also bands would often name their influences, mention other bands in the genre. It was a great way to find new music because you are kind of slowly piecing together clues.

Exactly!

You’re looking at photos the band put in the inner sleeve or gatefold, and:

“Who are Nirvana and why are these guys wearing their band merch?”

“Am I seeing things, or is that Trent Reznor sitting in the sound engineer’s booth?”

But lyrics were the best included extra I’ve found. Even though you can find many lyrics published online, I’ve noticed they’re not necessarily accurate. Many sites’ content is fan-created, and/or copy pasted from fan-created sites.

There was one song I remember looking up that I found 2 main different versions of the lyrics. Fortunately, while neither one was completely correct, each one was incorrect in different ways- thus correcting each other’s errors- AND neither’s errors coincided with parts I was struggling with. Oddly, the parts each got incorrect were crystal clear to me.

And clever bands could turn those sleeves into art.

I must admit, now that I listen more online and without a sleeve, I read the lyrics less. Something about looking up lyrics online isn't the same as having the sleeve right there. I am a guitar player so lyrics have never been my priority, but I often do like having the lyrics with the album (especially if it is a storyteller like King Diamond)

And I agree about the accuracy of online lyrics. They often have errors in them. You get the same thing if you look guitar chords online. There is always a degree of interpretation there but the number of bone headed chord progressions I have seen for some songs boggles my mind (and on reputable guitar sites too)

Everyone who has any taste in music at all, knows that no good music has been written after 1827.

At least, if you ask my father...

Beethoven fan?

That’s a distinction without a meaningful difference- it’s part of the physical housing for the data delivery system (DAT, CD, cassette, LP) and is integral to the initial delivery and storage of the product. (It can be lost or damaged over time, but with 5k+ CDs, plus hundreds of cassettes & LPs, that hasn’t happened to any I own without the destruction of the media itself.)

You won’t have that with an MP3.

I don't really think it is meaningless, but its argument unlikely to be worth having, so I cede the field to you.

Imagine what life would be like if you didn't worry about how people you'll never spend any time with think you should play a game you'll never play with them.

I sometimes get the issue of wanting the social network associated with a game to support what you want and want to play more, but I'm now at the age where I'm not going to get enough time to run all the games I might like to anyway, so I can't even get worked up about that sort of things for the couple of systems I've run multiple times over the years.

Something like 5 of us got together to figure out the lyrics to "High Road" by the Bendickson Brothers, which is used in the sound track of the original "Demon Hunters" movie. Believe me, we were all hearing very different words in the beginning.

Walton Goggins cast for White Lotus season 3??? I mean, I was already in, but now I might have to appointment set.

You seem to be operating under a serious misunderstanding of what exactly it is we're into, here.

Is it not the culinary arts? My Google search clearly brought me here.
