The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I totally don't understand. But if I comment I have a feeling I still won't, and it will just spend time. (<- not about music!)

Not a bit. I think some cover versions are better than the originals. I very much prefer "Raspberry Beret" as covered by the Hindu Love Gods to Prince's version. It has a much stronger groove to it.
That's part of the beauty of covers - people put their own spin on it. Sometimes it's lame, other times sublime.

I much prefer the Tom Jones/Art of Noise version of "Kiss" to Prince's also.

One time I was walking in the park, and I stood wondering why the frisbee looked like it was getting larger. Then, it hit me

During the filming of season 1 of the web series "JourneyQuest" they had to shoot around a bunch of disk golf playing dude-bros, who kept trying to spoil the shots.

I get that math is a complicated subject, and that it requires practice to develop one's skill. It's a lot like playing the piano: you can read sheet music all day, but if you don't sit on the bench and practice for hours you are never going to be a pianist. BUT COME ON, PEOPLE. This isn't differential calculus, this is a twenty-sided die.

Try explaining to some why the average roll on a D20 is 10.5, then get back to me. Explaining calculus seems simple by comparison

The Tom Jones/Cardigans cover of "Burning Down the House" is pretty good, too.

Johnny Cash - covering "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. When, in praise of the cover, the original artist says, "that song isn't mine any more," you know you've hit it out of the park.

There's going to be a whole thread for the Fantastic Beasts movie, and I'm not going to be allowed within 10 miles of it, and there's nothing I can really do about that, is there?

Are they still making those?

Huh. They probably shouldn't.

I mean, they kind of sucked...?

Is anyone surprised by this?
