Oh, I don't mind it at all. I just hadn't seen it in a while, and that was the only joke I could come up with (and I ruined it with dyslexia anyway). :)
EDIT: Man, I didn't realize their music would move you that much, Cap!
[Deadpan monotone] Oh dear, I do not have enough high speed data (as far as you know) to click on those links. Oh, bummer, that is a terrible predicament, I will just have to watch those later (or never). Darn, I was not looking forward to that, oh well. [/deadpan monotone]
I have enjoyed songs by both Katy Perry and Ke$ha, I prefer Katy Perry by a long shot but both are good singers.
Fine by me, and I generally agree with your assessment between the two! I find limited parts of their repertoire solid.
For example, Katy Perry:
- This is How We Do: kind of blech, with some decent parts.
- Dark Horse: actually, a really great song, and very useful for thinking about game-character motivations, sans rapper edit.
For example, Ke$ha(you're supposed to italicize her name, right? I kinda thought you were...):
- Crazy Kids: pretty good except for the rap/sarcasm-voice inserts
- Tik Tok: WHY DID SHE BECOME FAMOUS OFF THIS; good tune, describing/celebrating terrible people :/
I listen to music, that actual people play, about actual things and problems, not the rich people b!*+@#@! "Oh no I don't have enough shoes or champagne, whatever shall I do" that populates today's pop (s$@$) music :-D
No, I'm not clicking those, I have a 11 year old daughter, I'll hear it all soon enough, in this instance, ignorance is truly bliss.
Actually, sir, you are wrong. The two links in the post I referenced will (pretty much guaranteed) be things that no 11 year old girl will ever show you.
I listen to video game music and European metal (mostly symphonic/power/progressive metal). There's... really not much of anything on the radio US-side that appeals to me.
You've heard him. He's ubiquitous background music. He also has a few gold or platinum albums, and is self distributed, owning a studio in Hawaii. A few other decent artists are on his label, like Ben Harper, but nothing outstanding.
Pop...I avoid like the plague heard part of a....I hesitate to use the word "song" apparently about a friends with benefits person and something about friend zone and being a generally unpleasant person...yea thanks I'll go back to slipknot....
Honestly my general distaste for the state of publicly-played music in the US is one of the main reasons I keep considering getting something like Sirius... but between an MP3 player and now having a smartphone with Jango, I keep coming back to not really needing it.
Yeah, I used to like Slipknot and other pissed off stuff in high school. Then I grew up, realized life wasn't so bad, and just stopped being so angry all the time. Weed and sex helped with that. I quit weed a couple years ago, but the lingering effects of "dude, what are you so riled up about? Chill," Still linger.
Who said I'm angry? I just can't stand the pop look at me and all my drugs and booze songs woooooo!!!!!!!! :| not amused. I've noticed the angrier the song the more relaxed I get I used to use disturbed to go to sleep.

when I used to have to take the bus ridiculously early I'd listen to Tool, Metallica, White Zombie, and Soundgarden in the morning to wake me up.
I listen to whatever comes on slacker. If I feel myself losing touch with modern sensibilities, I put on the top 40, appreciate/favorite what I can, and then move on.
If I'm not slackering, I'm listening to anime radio.
Incidentally, rock is drug fueled, too. It's heroin and cocaine instead of booze and weed. But, yes, generally the writing is much better and more varied, of that you have no disagreement. I'm tired of seeing rap songs about how much money and b****es a gespecially has. It's so repetitive.

I have had XM since it came out and have not looked back, if you decide to get it and enjoy it ask about their lifetime membership. They do not promote this option as they like to collect money every month. I dislike recurring bills if they can be avoided.
I heard a song by sleeping with sirens and thought the lead singer was female....ok technically it was king for a day by piercing the veil....which is the only song I like by them. I was confused.....

How much are you typically looking at, both monthly and the longer-term membership?
Why would anyone pay when Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube are things? Even if you want the premium of all three, they're cheaper than traditional mediums.
Unless you have an unlimited data plan (which is pretty expensive on its own, in my experience), there's only so much of those you can listen to each month before running out.

Told you she was the chickiest chick on the boards.
EDIT - Want to again say this is not a bad thing.
I like Jack Johnson, as far as if we're talking only pop music is concerned. He's relaxing.
This is the second time you commented on how girly I am... And I don't think I really am as girly as a lot of girls. Is it just the comparison or what?
I think it's the way you present yourself on the forums, as a whole.
You show off a more heavily "girly" mien than most other females on the forums as a whole, intentionally or not, which is what he's commenting on.
(I don't think it's meant to be a jibe, just noticeable in-context.)
For example, I'd say you're about as girly, on the forums, as, say, my oldest sister (who is not on the forums and does not do "tech" things... or game-things, for that matter...). She is not really close to the "girliest girl" I've ever known. On the other hand, you present yourself (on-forums) in a more "girly" way than, say, my wife does when she's around the forums... hence, creating a line of comparison for the relatively surprising emphasis for the Paizo forums.
Nothing is wrong, per se, it's just a noticeable difference.
How does Google know things? I was looking at a map of San Francisco, and it had a marker on the Metreon with Dec 21 4:30. I got Star Wars tickets there for that day and time off Fandango, but how does Google know that?
