Generator. Television. PS2. Cowboy Bebop on DVD.

Idk if it would work at all, but TANK is such a good fucking song, and I hope they enjoy at least that much before burning me for witchcraft.

Have you tried coffee yet?

If so: what’d you think of it?

If not: why not?

I’d like to believe that I have it in me to be a benevolent monarch, but I know myself well enough to tell that I am entirely too human for that.

I’d rather not see how rotten I could get with power unbound, and my current conscience wouldn’t let me impose that on whoever I’d be ruling over, so modern-day-meh life it is.

Meaning is something imposed on reality by consciousness, not something necessarily inherent to existence itself. I am here because here is where I am. What that means to me is that I should have a good time while the opportunity persists because all evidence seems to insist that the chance will not last forever.

So, eat. Be merry. Protect that which moves me and those who can not protect themselves. Help others to do the same. That’s the meaning of life to me.

Any combination of ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, and whatever leftover meat and/or veggies I’ve got.

Or, if I have leftover soup, I do one cup water, one cup soup and one half of the seasoning pouch. It’s especially great with cabbage and sausage soup, but split pea is pretty good too.

BtB is my favorite, but that’s already been mentioned. Our Fake History is my second favorite and also very worth a listen!

Their angle on things is addressing points in history that, for one reason or another, have been misrepresented or misremembered, but they get into all sorts of topics, so that’s not always their explicit goal.

There is also This Podcast Will Kill You, which is more a science show than history, but they always have a history segment on whatever their subject is (mostly viruses, infections, diseases, and occasionally poisons and disorders). The hosts are both named Erin. That’s not relevant to the thread. I just think it’s funny.

I have heard them and was aware that the Puppets performed with Nirvana on those songs, as well as of the former’s overall influence on the latter.

Still, I think there is a depth to Kurt’s voice and an eccentricity to how he played that nudges those versions over a certain metaphysical edge, but that’s just my take on it. As much as he learned from MP, he was also an avid parasocial student of Leadbelly, and that influence makes each version of those songs very distinct pieces in my ears. Still very similar ofc, but also each their own worlds, with their own flavors.

If you disagree, that is perfectly okay, and, either way, I appreciate you adding a bit of context for the uninitiated.

I completely forgot about Love Buzz somehow (that bass line tho) and have already kicked myself for not mentioning their The Vaselines covers. Glad someone brought em up!

I think Incesticide was one of their most vibiest releases and the covers on their are all wonderfully done. Molly’s Lips very much included!

Your “friend” sounds like they’re due for at least one brick to the ribs. You deserve better, dude. Get that loser out of your life!

Nirvana did a bunch of great ones during their brief time together.

The Man Who Sold The World has already been mentioned, but their versions of Turnaround by Devo, Plateau and Lake of Fire by Meat Puppets, and Where Did you Sleep Last Night and They Hung Him On A Cross by Leadbelly are all beautiful renditions in their own ways.

Of those, I’d say that Where Did You Sleep Last Night and both of the Meat Puppets covers are just as distinctly re-stanked by that Nirvana magic as their Bowie cover was. I like their version of They Hung Him On A Cross more than the original too, but tbh it always made me feel a bit weird hearing a white man singing that one. I get that it came from a place of reverence and compassion, but…idk man. I am both mixed race and have mixed feelings on that one lol. At the same time though, if any white man was to cover that one, I’m glad it was him since the hurt inherent to Kurt’s voice was a perfect match for the vibe and tone.

The legend himself was on Sixteenth Minute of Fame recently. He’s an interesting guy, and you can really tell that he takes amphetamines to treat his adhd lol

Edit: I mean that in the best of ways ofc. That boy can jabber jaw like an absolute beast

What kind of music do you like?

Who are your guys?

Fuck, marry, kill: happiness, financial wealth, and self respect.

It’s a joke. They are pretending they can’t remember the very obvious/absurd/silly/etc thing, so they have to check their notes before finishing the thought.

I think it might have its origin in courtroom dramas having prosecutors being catty with the defense but that’s just a barely informed guess tbh

Ummm…no it isn’t. Sorry

I don’t have any personal experience with this, but I have friends that have done escort work in the past and I think they’d have been pretty upset if nobody gave them any business.

As long as everyone involved is consenting and respectful, I don’t see the issue.

I woke up very sick this morning and this is the first thing to make me smile today. Thanks for sharing lol

Same here. A person who owns their flaws and does everything in their power to inspire positive change is a good person in my book. And he’s funny to boot? Save some for the rest of us! Come on, dude!

As a great and nameless character on Cowboy Bebop once said; “seems that way”.

Not quite what you’re asking for, but Binary Break is an actual play tabletop podcast which is way, waaaay better than it needs to be. The players, the dm, the setting, the story, the music, the vibes; it all adds up to what is, easily, the best actual play experience I’ve ever come across…and as a person with a lot of time on my hands, I have tried a lot of them lol.

The setting is Digimon and I’m not sure if that’s a sell or deterrent for you, but I promise that it is an exceptionally fun ride for both fans and those that have never had an interest in the series alike. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are the best at what they do. You won’t regret giving these good folks a shot!
