Poor Rudolph has a really bad herpes outbreak going on right now
I heard mpox was making a return, but damn!
I hate that fucking song. I would get great pleasure out of popping all of those balloons with an epi pen.
I honestly hate the vast majority of Christmas music. And I’ve never worked retail. God I feel awful for anyone who has to work that sector between November and January.
Last Christmas gets a pass though. I kinda love Wham
It’s weird, I had to work retail with some of the crappiest elevator christmas music ever. A lot of folks complained about the music. But, I play the piano and I actually love to play those pieces at this time of year! I mean yes, they’re over done and way over played on the radio and TV, but when you’re the one making the music, it makes all the difference in how you feel about it.
Playing the music and being subjected to it are totally different. I played guitar and trumpet in my youth and doing Christmas music for the school and the town parade were always a blast. But now that I’m a jaded adult…lol
Getting my guitar out and figuring out new songs is still a lot of fun, even if I’m kind of terrible at it.
Well I’m far from the world’s greatest piano player. I stopped taking lessons about the intermediate-early advanced stage. So I can play some fairly advanced music, in fact I prefer more complicated or creative takes on the Christmas classics. But it is different from just being a passive listener.
I hope you get to find time with the guitar these days - I always wanted to learn to play classical guitar, it’s so cool to have that as a hobby!
I played bass with a little four piece band in college. I’d listen to a lot of music with the bass turned up so I could learn basslines, practice them, and then build off of them and do my own thing. And it was a pretty easy transition since a bass is strung just like a guitar without a B or high E string. I haven’t played regularly in a long time, but I do find time to get the guitar out and kill time when I’m at home alone here and there. Most of the music I listen to is one of like four different chord progressions, each made up of three or four chords lol
Most of modern music sounds that way to me - basically three or four chords over and over and over again. I guess that’s why I like many of the older pieces, they’re a little more complex and when they are jazzed up they sound really great. Although I will say, Jazz to me is much harder to play than almost any other type of music.
It’s especially fun to learn the old ones, because they usually have really complicated jazz chord progressions. You just don’t notice because the melody is so strong
I don’t hate the song, but it is obnoxious and actually has a terrible message. As long as you can do something great, it doesn’t matter if other people exclude or hate you for being who you are.
That looks like something that escaped SCP containment…
That is terrifying

Can’t afford it.
Hee hee, an epi-pen. Just somebody please bring some darts to the party.
It’s going a bit off subject, but my family and sister-in-law were in China at a restaurant when she came down with a severe allergic reaction and started turning blue. My brother had an epi-pen in their luggage, but it was back at the hotel, and we’d walked from there to the restaurant.
The management was freaking out and all I could do was tell them not to panic, my brother was able to get the epi-pen back in time and once he jabbed her, she was fine. BUt it was a close call! They had served us a soup with fish stock in it even though we’d told them we had some allergies to fish (myself included).

That would make him very pop-ular.

I can appreciate that a lot of effort went into creating this, but I can’t help but think of that line from Jurassic Park – something along the lines of “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” and I know that science and scienticians have little to nothing to do with this abomination but the pertinence of the message is never the less relevant.
