@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

My stepfather, who I adored, was an instant huge fan of Death to Smoochy after it came out on home video and would often sing the line “Stepdad’s Not Mean He’s Just Adjusting”

Omg, how did I not know as the hardest of hardcore Bright Eyes fans that this exists? Great cover(s).

famousblueben , to music in Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

This song is great and this album is one I feel like far too many people overlook. As a huge Nebraska fan, I’m down for any time The Boss wants to strip down and get all acoustic on our asses, and while it isn’t as great as Nebraska it is still easily my favorite 90s Springsteen album and high on my list of favorite E Street Band-less albums.

famousblueben , to moviesandtv in ‘Blue Beetle’: How Grassroots Backers Are Trying to Boost the Latino-Led Superhero Movie
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

I’m of real mixed emotions here. I totally understand why latino/a folks want this film to succeed, there has never really been a film to this scale to feature as predominantly a latin-american cast as this one, and that’s certainly a big moment. I have a latino friend who is going purely for how big a moment it is for representation of his culture and I get it.

However, so much of the complaints about how iffy the film’s likely performance I’ve seen really border damn close to just complaining about the strike “ruining” things for people (like we didn’t all know this film had ‘potential bust’ written all over it for a long time now) and studios’ plans. And frankly, while I certainly hope for more latin-american representation all across film, I also think that trying to save Warner Bros Discovery from their own disasterous decision is counterproductive to wishes of future good quality and original programming

Straight up one of my favorite songs of all time.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Minutemen - "History Lesson Part 2" (1984)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

It is such a wonderful moment in a frantic album, just take a step back, chill out, and inspire people with a tribute to the power of music. Love it.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Jane's Addiction - Stop (1990)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

It might be just because the most famous members of Jane’s Addiction are famously super hateable dudes. They generally aren’t a cool band to like because of both that and the close association with RHCP (whom I personally also do not like), but it is unfair because at their peak JA were a really solid alt rock band that didn’t really sound like anybody else out there.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Hüsker Dü - "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely" (1986)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

Most bands are lucky to have one great songwriter, Husker Du had two who ensured there was never a dull moment on any of their albums. It says a lot that of the “noise pop/melodic hardcore” era, Candy Apple Grey is probably their weakest album and it still produced all-time great songs like this.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in The Replacements - I Will Dare
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

I’m 32, and Let it Be has been a top 3 album for me since I was like 15 years old. You don’t have to be older to know that The 'Mats were amazing.

famousblueben , to moviesandtv in Stephen Amell Clarifies His “Misinterpreted” Anti-Strike Comments in Lengthy Statement
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

Yeah, nothing about his “clarifications” really do anything other than making him look even more a dim light struggling to form an opinion.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Pavement - "Range Life" (1994)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

This has long been a “walking around the neighborhood with my headphones in” staple, got the perfect atmosphere for night walk with a chill in the air.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Titus Andronicus - A More Perfect Union (2010)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

Absolutely incredible song, this album was on heavy rotation for me in the few years after it came out, think it might be time to revisit soon

famousblueben , to alternativenation in The Walkmen - The Rat (2004)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

Stone cold classic!

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane (Official Video)
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

I love the fact that this song was such a crossover for Americana listeners that it tricked my grandparents into buying what is essentially just a twangy dreampop album.

famousblueben , to alternativenation in Cocteau Twins - When Mama Was Moth
@famousblueben@lemmy.film avatar

The amount of my regular music listening that is Cocteau Twins is large, but I don’t always remember to explore the earlier albums, so thanks for the reminder!
