I was talking about all the songs on the entire soundtrack, more so, but I have to admit that both of these "I AM" songs do sound eerily similar even though they are talking about two entirely different subjects, and I don't care what Stephen King says about that Scream Machine, she was great in The Shinning! Literally one of the only horror films I actually watch every once in a while. I think my last viewing has been about two years now. I love the opening scene/sequence.

Nacho Libre was a damn funny movie. Jack has quite an impressive body of work at this point. He was fantastic in High Fidelity for example.

In my opinion, it's his best work by far.
It's from the same director that did Napolean Dynamite, but I relate and watch Nacho 100 times more.
The movie hits all the notes for me with a great soundtrack, original quotes that Jack Black nails, Religion, Wrestling, Secularism and Innocence.
Just off the top of my head...

Did you not tell him those were the Lord's chips.
New game... go get it!
Would you like to meet me later in my room, for some toast.
Why can't we ever just have like a salad.
Beneath the clothes, we find a man. And beneath the man...we find...his nucleus.

I could go on and on, but I won't.
As you know, the movie is filled with constant quotes that are hilarious.

Thanks Mr. V. . I'm glad no one has put this thread to a stress test by posting an Adele reco - the thread might shatter into a billion useless little pieces.

Alright, this is pretty gay, but I found myself, the other night, listening to these guys.
They probably have the most "rocking" love songs for a male duo that I can think of.
Maybe not exactly a duo but who remembers any of the other band members?
Hall and Oats are better but if you're rating love songs these guys win.
Not Such a Fun Fact... Hall and Oats were into some serious Satanism before they got really big.
Coincidence?

No offense to Air Supply but they got to be one of the ugliest looking duo's in history lol.
Russell Hitchcock really went too far with his hairstyle.
Fucker could and can still sing though.

PS: I've gotten better at PGA 2k23.
After 1030 hours of gameplay, I am on the second highest Pro Tour.
Won't be long now till I'm one of the top 100 active players.
I'm sick and need help, lul.

Thank for posting Monet - these guys made a lot of great songs. Given the amount of super-talented rock (West Coast Genre) duos, the only way you are going to stand out and get the pass to make it to the top is if you compromise yourself to Satan like the amazing Hall and Oates did. What follows are some examples of duos that are really talented IMHO, but didn't get into the Satan upward mobility club probably.

Sorry, V, but no high-end stereo equipment, either. No one can hear the difference, let alone stoned. Anyway. 1970 was a long time ago, another world.

Shirley, you jest.

To claim "no one can hear the difference" between a tune played on a cheapo lo-fi set up and a well-sorted out high end system is beyond absurd, "stoned" or not.

I know the difference is quite real.

Have you ever heard a fune you like played through a good hi end stereo system?

If not, STFU; if so, and you really heard no difference, I can only pity you and your lousy ears.

Then if I gave them the kph30i and explained it was $30. 97% of people would shit on them after hearing the same driver in a different chassis.

My ultimate hypothesis is that build quality and price are the two most important factors in determining if people will enjoy a set of headphones. This how I rationalize the HD8XX getting shit on when only 3 people have heard it and publicly provided their opinion lol. "It's a cheaper 800s, of course it's going to sound worse!"

Just knowing there is an expectation bias does not exempt you from being affected by it. We can train ourselves to hear certain things better, but knowing the cause of a perceived difference is still tricky even for professionals (and I don't mean golden-ear "reviewers", most of whom wouldn't know the meaning of the word professional).

The placebo effect and other cognitive biases affect us on a constant basis. The taste of food is influenced by how the food looks (hence the importance of presentation in expensive restaurants). Wine tasting is another classic example of super obvious differences in quality between the cheap and the expensive, until you do a double-blind test and suddenly nobody knows what they are drinking.

On the subject of electronics used to play back music: I get a helluva lot better sound out of my Ayre V3, Audio Research LS2, Cambridge Audio transport, Denafrips DAC and Aerial speakers than I would out of a boom box.

Trust your ears: i do.

I've been into audio since my teens and as my ability to afford it grew so has the quality of my audio gear: careful matching of components yields quantifiable results.

I about had a mental breakdown as this song came on the radio the other day.
Yes, I still listen to the radio in my vehicle for that "experience".
I knew it from the first note.
Joy and Sadness at the same time.
Loved the 80s.
Beats the shit out of that Adele.

Thanks for posting that. The crossbow figures prominently in that Sheena Easton Bond installment IIRC - she did a great job; wonderful song. When I first heard the Skyfall Bond theme song (and forever thereafter even as I type this post), I couldn't believe how horrible it was and how they didn't just get another singer since it was so incredibly shitty. A decade or so later roughly, when Dan kept talking about the tragedy that Adele was cancelling her concert tour due to some illness, I wondered just who the fuck Adele is - I mean she must be awfully good for Dan to get so upset about it. Then, when you mentioned that it was Adele that sung it, I realized that it made sense that I didn't know who she was before that and that it must be some sort of a hipster fashion statement to pretend to like someone that terrible.

Yeah, I guess some people just like Adele and hate not having their slave made phones at a Garth Brooks concert.
I've never really known or been a fan of Adele.
I searched out some of her songs and she had two that I recognized but didn't realize they were hers.
Not horrible but I don't search her songs out and they do not resonate with me.

I went back to relisten to SkyFall's Official Video.
It started out pretty darn good.
Felt like they were trying to recreate the Original Bond Vibe.
But it didn't take long for the song to go off the rails for me.
She does some goofy things with her voice trying to range the notes or something.
And the song really loses it for me when they add in the chorus singers.
Or whatever they are doing there.
I dunno, not the worst but it just gets out of control and unravels for me.
Lot's of people love it.
Probably a nostalgic age group you have to belong to.
Supposedly, Adele 's ballad became one of the best-selling singles of all time, and won an Oscar
But does that mean it's the best or just marketed at the right time in the right era?
I read a list that put her at 16th and that makes more sense.
So many other Great Bond Themes.
Too Many to list and break down.
Kind of hard to beat Goldfinger in my opinion.
And you got greats like Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney (Wings), Carly Simon, Tina Turner, Duran Duran... etc. etc.
Heck, Shirley Bassey sang three of them for goodness sake!

Yes. My favorite was Spy Who Loved Me by Carly Simon. It stands on its own and needs no Bond theme attached to it. Close 2nd with Live and Let Die.

I thought for sure your favorite would of been Gladys Knight and or Tina Turner!
Not Funk but a flavor of Soul Music.
Goldfinger (Song) still has to be the best.
I don't see how it can be beat.
It literally screams to you that you're about to watch a Bond Movie.
Many people do rate Live and Let Die as the best, but it doesn't scream Bond to me like Goldfinger.
This is all subjective anyways.
You like what you like.

P.S. -- On Her Majesty's Secret Service is still the best Bond Movie ever made.
Too Bad George Lazenby blew it as he refused to sign the contract.
He was an inch away from taking the reins away from Connery for good.
Connery is the best Bond overall though and as you know I do love me some Remington Steele.

Goldfinger definitely was the Bondiest song. I thought View to a Kill was a pretty good song also (Duran Duran). On Her Majesty's Secret Service was excellent - Bond got married in that one as you know. It's hard for me to pick a favorite Bond movie as I have enjoyed many of them. Diamond's Are Forever is way up there for me and so is Live and Let Die. Maybe the Spy Who Love Me/Moonraker two-movie combo is my favorite (Jaws was my favorite Bond assassin).

I like any Bond Movie where Bond is slapping around some woman lol.
I just finished up For Your Eyes Only.
It's Free on YouTube in like 13 parts.
Anyways, he literally decks a woman in that movie lol.
This isn't politically correct but I find that shit humorous for some odd reason.
I guess because it's super realistic.

Indeed. Recall in Goldfinger how Bond had a wrestling/judo match with Pussy Galore and subdued her in the hay (or in the pool with Bambi and Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever).

Funny stuff - thanks for posting.

This came on the radio as I was coming back from the gym early this morning.
I was at the red light and getting a little static so of course I had to inch forward a bit to get clear reception.
I kinda love that.
Anyways, forgot about this song but I'd say it's multigenerational...

I've traded in my Fake Golf Clubs for Fake Flight Combat.
It's been about 10 years since I've done this but I'm back.
It's kind of an expensive upfront cost but worth it in my opinion.
I now have 25 planes, 1 chopper, a bunch of maps/missions.
Multiplayer is a lot fun.
This sim is very detailed as you have to learn all the procedures, pushing buttons and flipping switches.
I get lost in the WW2 era so not sure how much time I will spend with the modern-day jets but it's all a huge time sink and fun.
Although I'm in about 2 grand, it is far cheaper than RC Warbirds lol... those cost about 3 to 4 hundred for every crash.
Just bought the Mosquito today so messing with that.
I've only just got comfortable with the Spitfire, BF 109 K4 and the Mustang.
I crashed the 109 like 60 times on takeoff till I watched a 5-minute YouTube video that showed me what I was doing wrong.
This guy is really detailed and good, but I only needed the take-off example.
Go Figure lol...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKeRdhBSMLE&t=460s

(I highly recommend this game to anyone that has the money and time to put into it.)

This video showed how easy you can take off in the Spitfire within 3 seconds.

My first day I spent 6 hours only on the runway learning procedures of planes and jets.
And was having way too much fun just learning cold start procedures.
It's hard to explain but it geeks you out if you're into aircraft.
I just got Head Tracker IR5 in yesterday and I don't like having to wear the device or have the infrared beam pointed at my head, but it does work really well.
It's like VR without VR as I don't want to get into VR for a few reasons, so this is the next best option even though I'm used to using the keyboard for different cameras.
They have a voice command thing, but I hate the idea, but I might get it, I just really hate anything like Siri or Alexa.
It does help as it allows you to be more hands free... I dunno... have to think about that one.
I bought the Hotas Warthog setup which is the A-10 replica Stick, Throttle, Control Box and Rudder Pedals.
All 4 devices are pretty darn sweet. The stick feels amazing as it is mostly metal.
The Rudder Pedals cost more than the Stick and Throttle combined but they are all metal and worth every penny if you have enough pennies.
They got me good as they offer 50% off of your first purchase with the planes/maps and I bought just about everything.
I've only been in like 25% of what I bought so far in 2 weeks.
This game will take years to learn the ins and outs of all these planes/jets.
Sorry to drone on and on and on about this but I do highly recommend it.
But I live the life of Riley and have time for this sort of thing.
I'm not running from casino to casino or offshore book to offshore book crushing every promotion making millions of dollars.
I have enough money and I enjoy it and my time.
Long Video Below... Do Not Watch the entire thing but it gives you an idea of what TIR5 is.
It allows you to check your six and all around your plane with relative ease.
The only thing I don't like at times is you have to keep your head very still when you're trying to kill someone lol.

Alright, back on track with this thread!
Double Song Recco.
We all know both of them.
We all love them!!
Also, I found a pretty good YouTube Channel for 45 vinyl records that plays continuous music.
It's called: Villa Vybes Vinyl

Yes, those are classics, thanks for posting. A lot of those youtube uploads of the Midnight Special show are great as well - many of the episodes feature the greatest songs and artists of all time (but that were created in the 70's).

The advancements in haptics have really taken it to a new level.

Imagine how long it took to code these games and develop the hardware. Too bad a few of these minds couldn't have been incentivized to go into medicine so that diseases and old age would have already been mitigated or eliminated - but physics and mathematics are much more interesting, so that only 2nd rate minds permeate the medical and health fields unfortunately.

Don't let the slow start and weird outfits fool you. Once the song takes off, you'll be in the funk zone.

Fred Again: Danielle ( Smile on my Face)

Sometimes I wanna feel the pain
You said you were done
But you're over here naked
In the middle of the day
Sometimes I wanna feel the pain
You said you were done
Fuck what they say
I'm safe in your arms
And if I die in your arms
There'll be a smile on my face
There'll be a smile on my face
Sometimes I wanna feel the pain
Sometimes you make me wanna face it
But you're over here naked
In the middle of the day
So squeeze my heart all day
Squeeze it till it breaks
Fuck what they say
I'm safe in your arms
And if I die in your arms
There'll be a smile on my face
There'll be a smile on my face
There'll be a smile on my f-
Be a smile on my f-
Sometimes you make me wanna face it
Make me wanna face it
(Yeah, I remember that moment)
Sometimes you make me wanna face it
Fuck what they say
If I die in your arms
There'll be a smile on my face
There'll be a smile on my face
There'll be a smile on my f-

They remade/updated/covered We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel.
I hate it and about puked my guts out when I heard it today for the first time.
I went over to YouTube to read the comments and couldn't believe that not one was negative.
What the Fuck?
That remake was horrible.
You can't update or remake that song.
FML!

Yes, they keep making awful remakes of stuff that are way worse both in songs and movies. I won't bother with hearing the remake of We Didn't Start the Fire and thanks for heads up.

Ran into this the other day and don't really remember it.
It took a little while for me to catch onto it but I really like it now.
I love how simple shit used to be.
Just crazy kids creating shit.
Good Times.
I miss 'em.

On a side note, it appears that pepper has been trained a bit.
She was really good at the dog park last night.
She walks next to me unleashed as if she has a leash on her.
And she retrieves the ball and drops it at my feet as she sits down waiting for me to throw it again.
Can't wait to get her out at Lake Mead for a swim.
Fun Dog but a lot of work and I think she has a food allergy, dry skin problem or bugs like fleas but fleas are very uncommon in Vegas and my other dogs aren't scratching.
I got to take Pepper to the Vet in about 10 days so maybe they will figure it out.
She got dandruff and they had her on some Walmart dog food, so I figure it's a food allergy.

I'll give you fish!
I'll give you candy!
I'll give you... everything I have in my hand!!

Great find Monet, thanks for posting. One of the nice things about great bands is that a good portion of their lesser known shit is also great to listen to. I hadn't heard of this one either.
I'm glad your new dog is working out well. Maybe there is some sort of antihistamine for dogs that can treat her skin allergy. But, like you wrote, the vet will likely be able to sort it out.

The dog is a bit of a problem.
Cramping my style hard.
She has serious separation anxiety.
And I doubt I am strong enough to break her of it.
She will bark non-stop for 12 hours straight if left alone in a room inside her crate.
The degree of difficulty is making me want to get rid of all my dogs, clean and sanitize my entire house and be done with it.
I continue to persevere, but I do not see a reasonable or logistical solution.
We make choices and sometimes those choices are mistakes.
Really Great Dog but I'm not set up properly for this degree of difficulty.

Maybe when you take her to the vet you can ask the vet if there is a gentle way to get her to be less independent.

That dog had a bad case of mange or something.
Constantly itching with yellow scabs and dandruff all over the back.
It's my fault for being ignorant about what to look for in puppies and or dogs in general.
I've always had a lot of chaos in my life.
I've avoided it for many years now, but it rears its ugly head back up every once in awhile.
I had to let the dog go.
The possible mange coupled with the constant barking/crying from separation anxiety was too much for me to handle.
I gave her back to the original owner for free so maybe they can resell her to some other schmuck.
Great Dog... just a bad fit.
Sometimes things just don't work out.
Now I got to put one of my other dogs down.
He's got some tumor growing larger and larger.
This is just life.
You got to understand this stuff going in.

I'm sorry to hear it Monet. If you decide to get another dog, I hope it works out great.

A band at the top of their game: the WHO, "Young Man Blues."

Keith Moon really nailed it...
