Am I just weird but when I'm watching a video on a project or something, I get real fucking annoyed when there's too much yapping in the video? It oftentimes feels really pretentious and like some corpo motherfucker on LinkedIn overselling themselves.
If you think the project/product is good, why not let its function and/or form speak for itself? The more you yap the more it feels like you're compensating for something.

A TAKE on the Violent Femmes. Is it a hot take? Who knows?!
Anyway, listen to the #drums in classic Femmes recordings.
From the beginning they were edgy, cool, singing about things others wouldn't, etc. Legit 80s underground awesomeness.
But the drummer held all their shit together.
Especially early on, it really seemed like the Femmes were "rough" and almost #OutsiderArt ... they didn't seem especially awesome at playing their instruments, and Gano's singing was (intentionally but also maybe accidentally) kind of awkward and not always traditionally "musical."
The bass was... well, it was the bass. Sorry, Brian Ritchie. You were probably awesome, and I didn't notice because weirdness happened around that backbone you and the drummer were laying down. Okay, maybe this post should be about bass and drums together, but I'm on a roll about drums (ha!).
[Edit: Yes, I definitely should also have made this post about Ritchie, who apparently kicks all kinds of ass on bass]
Seriously, go listen to the drums on American Music, Prove My Love, or almost any other track. Even "simple" drums aren't simple. The guitar is often quite simple. Bass is straightforward (usually), and the singing is the dorky, sarcastic, angry, not-always-in-tune style of Gano.
But those fucking drums. I mean... they were goddamn righteous.
I'm reading that the Femmes have had 4 drummers (IDK why the shifting), so I don't quite know who I'm talking about; maybe all of them. From Wikipedia:
Victor DeLorenzo (1980–1993, 2002–2013) [EDIT: Further reading suggests I'm mostly talking about DeLorenzo]
Guy Hoffman (1993–2002)
John Sparrow (2005 - ?)
'
Brian Viglione (2013-2016)Given the vintage of the recordings I listen to, I'm probably specifically referring to Hoffman and/or DeLorenzo.
Anyway, those drums are impressive, especially in the context of everything else happening. Maybe the most impressive artistic deviations from the norm are sometimes made possible by a foundation of rock-solid skill from which to deviate.

#LukeWarmTake: Those who justify the #Genocide in #Gaza with #october7 today, would have justified the #Holocaust with the #ReichstagFire 70 years ago, had they been non-Jewish cis-het Germans at the time.
If you find this offensive, ask yourself why you are so keen on justifying genocide.

Low-key wish the outfit designers for Pikmin Bloom could work on the avatar fashion pieces for Pokémon Go. Pikmin Bloom outfits, banger after banger. Pokémon Go outfits are a hot mess of clipping problems and questionable aesthetic taste. #PikminBloom #PokemonGo #LukewarmTake

#LukeWarmTake of the day: a year from now (OK, maybe two), nobody is going to talk about #Lorcana anymore (other than how it disappeared spectacularly). Everything I hear about this #TCG indicates that nobody is interested in actually playing it... 🤷♂️

Get that disgusting tradwife bullshit away from my cottagecore aesthetic. I want to look cute without that toxic baggage.
Maybe I have to lean more into goblincore or something...

Today's random observation: if "no porn" is higher in your CoC than hate speech or harassment, you tell me you're less worried about protecting people's lives and more about protecting your revenue
