Me flying out there to stuff pictures in your face would be worse for it.

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)

Ditto to ALL of that. I’m a singer first, but I’ve played cello, guitar & a little bass.

IME, while some online resources are great, their primary advantages are accessibility and price. And you often get what you pay for.

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.

Yep!

And to make it perfectly clear that I’m not claiming to be infallible…

My group of friends and I were sitting down to dinner when Kiss’ latest release came on the dining hall’s PA system. We’d all heard it before. So my roomie and I commented on how it was refreshing that Kiss was being so honest and transparent.

His GF said, “What do you mean?”

We basically replied, “The chorus. It’s ’We want money!’, and that’s not the kind of sentiment you’re typically going to hear in music.”

She put her utensils down, looked at us, and said, “You dummies. It’s ’Read My Body!’”

A moment of silence…“Ohhhhhhhh! That makes a LOT more sense!”

And, to be equally clear, I'm not usually a soundtrack guy. Every now and then a song hits me just right, that I'm otherwise unlikely to have heard. "High Road" is one of those. This is a slightly different version than the one in the film and a lot easier to understand


A few others came from the soundtrack of the Indie film "Project London" that was shot on a shoestring budget, with people donating time to do effects in Blender. Several of the songs by Half Acre Day, out of Seattle, made it into my daily driver list.


EDIT - One of those "just right" songs was "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus, which I hadn't heard until I saw "The Hunger" in a theatre.

It's kinda weird watching the rest of the world suddenly come to the realization that computers consume a nontrivial amount of electricity now that it's a political taking point.

This seems to happen every four years in the United States, for reasons that I can't really elaborate on due to site rules. But just like clockwork, every four years, people suddenly start caring a great deal about things they never once gave a thought to--and will just as quickly stop caring about them again after November.

For all the good and bad that can be said about advertising, everyone agrees: it works. And certain elected officials have figured out how to make it work very well indeed.

It was a lot more interesting to think that you were doing a Temporal Variance Authority thing and pruning all the "could" from the timeline.
