So you prefer to vote blue, i.e., Democrat? I'm a little surprised…
Whoosh? He probably meant Communist, not Republican, by Red, because he didn't say red. Note the casing in the previous sentence.

TDEMYS! If you assume he meant Democrats are Communists, then you'd be voting both Blue and Red, and get yourself killed at the next rainbow crossing!

I never poke fun at anything. Nor do I ever use sarcasm or irony to dramatic effect. Such things are unpossible!

Look, I can't help it if the media wants to confuse stuff. Obviously the Democrats are the Enemy.

Just because you hate someone doesn't make them your enemy.

What is this sorcery? A Metallica song I haven't heard?
Astronomy ain't Metallica anyway. It's a Blue Oyster Cult track.EDIT: Oh it's from the 90's. That's why.
Of course, the Metallica version is superior in several ways.

Like. They sound just as good live, which shows just how pure their sound is:

I always thought Rockford was like a TV version of Mitchell. They just kind of ramped-down the repulsiveness a couple notches.

Bonus points if someone can explain to me the meaning of the lyric
He reminds me of parsley when he's standing there alone
Something extra that no one really wants?
-
Because I ain't got a fucking clue
my guess is it was either:
- the original line in source language (JPN)
- the best transliteration/substitution the singer could come up with that fit the beat
-

Hardly likely, given her obsession with the speedy blue one (who is the subject of the song). The whole song is basically an overly-saccharine (and slightly creepy) love song from her to him.

The lyric is no translation; the song was originally written in English

Oh...I just went by the lyric. I didn't actually LTFS of course.
-
It's a typo, it was supposed to be Presley. Like Elvis.
It means Sonic wears white bellbottoms. #truefax
-
She wants him stuck in her teeth?
-

Huh.I stand corrected; it is a translation. The info on Sonic Retro seems to imply it was written in Japanese originally, then translated to English.
So now I need to track down the Japanese lyrics...
Edit: But before that, I stuck 'parsley' into Google Translate... and it seems to be an accurate translation...

Continuing the discussion from Song of the day:
I like. I bothers me, though, that the variation in the length of the harp strings doesn't appear to be enough to produce the range of pitches in the song; all else being equal, the shortest string should be only about 1/4 the length of the longest one. All else don't have to be equal, of course; the thickness and tension of the strings also affect the pitch, and could account for the strings being higher-pitched than they look like they should be, and I know there aren't any real strings, only pixels, but it just doesn't look right.
Edit: Forgot to navigate to the discussion topic before submitting. Sorry.
well it is just an animation. if we're going to apply physics to it then pipe dreams should be patently impossible as there's no way the balls wold bounce that accurately everytime.
;-)

exactly. looks what's missing. the ball return pipes. the balls fall to the floor and are collected in one collector.
also look what else they changed about the string segment. they're bars now not strings.
there was a limit to their accuracy and that limit was lower than the accuracy the animation used.
QED

parsley
I remember when I was little (not sure how little, but probably under 6 years old) we watched the original King Kong movie. I remember my dad reassuring me or whatever, and explaining that Kong was just a guy in a suit, walking around on parsley and stuff.
Being an idiot child (there's no other kind), I totally misinterpreted that. Since Kong was pretty damn big, I imagined the guy was in the suit, using parsley as stilts or something in order to fill out the suit. It didn't make a lot of sense to me how anyone would do something like that, because all the parsley I'd seen was pretty floppy.

That was a clue that the first blurry, low-res video I saw was animated rather than physical, because the video quality was too low to see the difference.
-

Heh. The first time I saw the Saturday Night Live Celebrity Jeopardy skits, they were low-res YouTube uploads of someone filming a TV screen with a very poor cell phone camera. Imagine my surprise when I later saw them on DVD and found that it wasn't actually Sean Connery!
-
She wants him stuck in her teeth?
Yeah my first thought, since that line appears right after “want to shave it”, was that she was talking about bushy pubes looking like a bunch of parsley.
-
They're playing the sounds on speakers, right? Why can't they just play the original audio instead of the tin-sounding bootleg version?

Continuing the discussion from Song of the day:
Happy birthday<sup>1</sup>, Beethoven:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBlQZyTF_LY<small><sup>1</sup> Probably. His actual birth date isn't recorded, but it is known that he was baptized 244 years ago tomorrow, so most likely he was born 244 years ago today. That would be consistent with the traditional practice of the Catholic Rhine country at the time, and it is known that his family celebrated his birthday on 16 December.
Holy shit that guy's voice. HOLY SHIT.
Ray Bradbury, probably the greatest lover of literature ever, once wrote a science fiction story where a man invented a time machine for the sole purpose of telling Herman Melville, before he died, that he had written one of the greatest novels of western civilization and was going to be beloved for all time. One could imagine doing the same for Edgar Allen Poe, Vincent Van Gogh, etc.
Imagine being able to go back and show Beethoven this video.
-
Why would you use a time machine to tell someone a compliment when you could do that without one and use the time machine to kill Hitler?

Vincent Van Gogh
Imagine being able to go back and show Beethoven this video.
He'd probably be like "okay, so there's a lot of people standing there, and they're chanting something, and I can't hear shit so what's your point".
Or, y'know, "AAAAAGH MOVING SHINY PICTURES WITCHCRAFT WHAT THE FUCK".

So don't forget to take a hearing aid with you.

Too bad he wouldn't be able to hear it.

I did mention to the 1970's that platform shoes might not be a great idea but I don't think they were listening. Either that or platform shoes weren't actually a thing and I gave them the idea for it.

I wish I could give a like for each song I liked in that album.
Fun soundtrack.
I love music mixing orchestral and electronic elements like that.
