    I find it disturbing that someone can command a salary like you do - and I am just assuming you are telling the truth about what you make; I have no reason to believe you aren't - and speak with such immaturity. Though I fully realize it's not uncommon, unfortunately. If I ever found out that...

    Hate to say it, but it feels that way to me as well.

    Off-Topic Super Bowl LX - FOOD, ADS, HALFTIME SHOW

    I didn't even know that the choice to have Bad Bunny perform at the halftime show was controversial until the day after. I just listened to him at halftime, and thought it was awful. Flat vocals, too processed, too digital, all that. Same complaint I have with so much music now. There were some...

    I was wondering if you would weigh in on this Super. You know I value your opinions on all things music. You are going to hate me for this, but I actually enjoy Sabrina Carpenter's studio version of Espresso. It's catchy enough, and comes off as such quintessential cliché pop, that it actually...

    Their lyrics are apolitical. They focus on occult mysticism and spirituality, if you're able to interpret it. Their lyrics are whatever. But their music is sooo fun. They did play at Asgardsrei in 2018 which is a NSBM festival in Kyiv. Ma-IoN (Formulas of Reptilian Unification) is so good I...

    Understood. I'm not interested in the politics of it but understand that's a big factor at play, unsurprisingly so. Thanks for the response.

    So your thought is that before we criticize music, we need to be knowledgeable on all the music that influences it? That's a nice thought maybe, but not very realistic given how people consume music. If I'm on date and decide to play Acherontas in my car (speaking from experience), she's not...

    They were. The choreography was great. Some of the cameras had to be on drones, and there were no glitches. The cameras followed him perfectly throughout the set. The energy was good. The dancing was fine. The production was excellent, especially considering the limited time they have to set it...

    The best part about it was a <1 minute stretch of strings and then Gaga’s Die With a Smile and the song that followed it because there was brass. I’m looking for positives. Other than those? Any music that relies that heavily on electronic production and synths, like almost all pop/trap/hip-hop...

    I won't be controversial here. If posters here think Bad Bunny has great beats, I don't know what they're used to listening to. But I won't argue.

    So even worse then. :LOL: A GREAT beat. Bad Bunny.

    A beat doesn't make music good. Most every piece of music you will ever listen to will have a beat. If you listen to drone metal or classical, or maybe some pieces of Feng Shui, you might not get a beat. Other than that, pretty much everything has a beat. An incredibly low bar to use to claim...

    The RSI hasn't been so oversold since March 2020. We know what happened after that low. This decline is still a 3 wave move as of now. Hard as it is to believe, that means things are still okay from a bullish POV. It could go down to $55k from a fib standpoint before reversing but it's already...
