speaking of pop music, I heard a new Lady Gaga song the other day and it's the best thing she's put out in years. -- nm - Tim Jun 4, 15:19 8
- I really liked Million Reasons from earlier this year or late last year. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 15:36 4

    - I think of it as intentional. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 16:08 1

  - Word -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 4, 15:40
- Down from 53 to 57 this week after peaking at 39 (unless there is a newer song) -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 15:24 1
  - nope, that's the one. -- nm - Tim Jun 4, 15:28
- Good stuff from Lorde too -- nm - budice Jun 4, 15:20
I don't understand this -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 4, 15:08 5
- It's that, or a Mercedes E Class. -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 15:15
- I think there are a couple of extra zeros in the price. -- nm - Krusty Jun 4, 15:10 3
  - If the motor is powerful enough, maybe not. Sure looks silly though. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 15:22 2
    - mini tug boat? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 4, 15:40 1
      - World breaker -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 4, 15:41
Oh well that's just rude. I use holiday weekends to take longs weekends and travel far away places - ty97 Jun 4, 14:41 14
- Seems optimistic for them to schedule a wedding a year out. -- nm - Mop Jun 4, 16:16 2
  - Ours was a year+. -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 16:39
  - In my family, it's unusual for it to not be planned that far in advance. - ty97 Jun 4, 16:34
- Worst wedding I've ever been to was over Memorial Day weekend. - znufrii Jun 4, 16:10 2
  - Was it mine? -- nm - Bacon Jun 4, 16:28 1
    - Nope. - znufrii Jun 4, 16:33
- Don't worry, the relationship will probably crash in a sea of unfaithfulness. -- nm - David Jun 4, 14:44 7
  - LOL My first wedding was Memorial Day weekend, and it did just that. Of course after we ruined everyone's three day weekend. -- nm - Bacon Jun 4, 15:02 1
    - Not unfaithfulness it just fell apart\ -- nm - Bacon Jun 4, 15:03
  - I was about to post how insane it is to set weddings that far ahead of time. - Spawn Jun 4, 14:45 4
    - I received a save the date last month for a wedding in October 2018. - ty97 Jun 4, 14:54 2
      - Still, you don't need to send a save the date just because you reserved the space. 6 to 8 months out is usually sufficient. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 4, 16:14
      - It won't happen. -- nm - David Jun 4, 15:01
    - some locations are so popular you have to book them really far in advance -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 4, 14:52

- Happy birthday, Roger More! Woo hoo!!! -- nm - Krusty Jun 4, 14:39
Coldplay and the Chainsmokers ftw! -- nm - David Jun 4, 14:30 27
- My daughter last night as we heard an old Coldplay song. "God, I used to like Coldplay before they started doing crap with the Chainsmokers." -- nm - pmb Jun 4, 15:01 17
  - Get your daughter help, PMB! She's going down the wrong path! -- nm - David Jun 4, 15:03 16
    - I'm telling you, the Chainsmokers are the nickelback of electronic music. -- nm - pmb Jun 4, 15:06 15
      - I just don't understand why the popularity of a band turns them into public enemy #1. - David Jun 4, 15:09 14
        
        They're the Beatles of electronic music. -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 16:01 5
        
        I'm so triggered right now. -- nm - Qale Jun 4, 16:43
        
        Minus the originality and talent. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 16:09 3
        
        But enough about the Beatles! - David Jun 4, 16:12 2
        
        Nah, with such epically high ground, it takes nothing to win this battle. -- nm - Spawn Jun 4, 16:14 1
        
        What a fitting post. -- nm - David Jun 4, 16:15
        
        I find it trite, banal, poorly sung and with an uninteresting tune. - Reagen Jun 4, 15:17 1
        
        And I find it a lot of fun with a driving rock sound. Music leads to an even more pretension than movies, which amazes me. - David Jun 4, 15:34
        
        It doesn't (or shouldn't). But having #1 hits also doesn't make a band, on a critical level, good. - pmb Jun 4, 15:14 4
        
        Chainsmokers wrote the most popular song of the 2000s to date. It's hard to find a barometer where the song wouldn't qualify as good. - David Jun 4, 15:43 3
        
        Closer is a perfectly decent pop song. It's not particularly challenging, but it's perfectly fine. It's easy to listen to and catchy. - pmb Jun 4, 15:59
        
        How cliche would it be to say that I like their older stuff better - JD Jun 4, 15:48 1
        
        I'm only vaguely aware of anything of theirs prior to Closer. EDM is loathsome to me. -- nm - David Jun 4, 15:50
        
        I like the Postmodern Jukebox guy's take. - Tim Jun 4, 15:13
- biggest song on Alt radio right now -- nm - Remlik Jun 4, 14:57 3
  - It's this generation's Beat It. - Tim Jun 4, 15:09
  - I know it's a total Closer knockoff but I like Closer so... - David Jun 4, 15:03 1
    - It sounds nothing like nine inch nails -- nm - Remlikindle Jun 4, 15:12
- Insert Spinach Dip joke -- nm - budice Jun 4, 14:56
- Haven't the people of Manchester been through enough? -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 14:30 2
  - :P -- nm - David Jun 4, 14:40
  - yeah, why should they be subjected to random blokes from the audience singing? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 14:32
- and it was all ... fellows -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 14:30
"In short, Captain, I'd like to suggest that....I be the one who that....that it be me that.....who was assigned to represent them. Myself." - prayformojo Jun 4, 14:08 3

  - Don't you just want to punch Kevin Bacon for that cheesy Georgetown athletic apparel? -- nm - David Jun 4, 15:05 1
    - He's just kind of punchable in general -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 15:10
I understand the need for ads on a site, but holy crap are the ones on HSX intrusively annoying to a degree I haven't seen before. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 13:49 2
- tru dat -- nm - budice Jun 4, 13:56
- yup -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 13:53
Guy, guys! Have you heard about my charity that's totally unrelated to the Manchester bombing?! -- nm - Miley Jun 4, 13:38 1
- I didn't have a problem with that. Biebs trying to make a point, on the other hand, was very Derek Zoolander. -- nm - David Jun 4, 13:47
Just saw my first SIFF film, Fermented. - psilotum Jun 4, 13:15 1
- yum, kimchi -- nm - Dano Jun 4, 14:33
Biebs should just do his songs and move along. -- nm - budice Jun 4, 13:11

- I mean, come on... -- nm - IRA Jun 4, 13:07 4
  - People don't learn. There were similar comments after 7/7 "at last they understand terrorism" -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 13:08 3

      - He's in the linked story in the original post. Kudos to him. -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 13:42 7
        
        Kudos? He stole a pint glass! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 4, 14:04
        
        Forgive me for not using one of my NYT clicks. (I really have to make Chrome the default browser on my phone. 'Open in Incognito tab' is a lifesaver) -- nm - Roger More Jun 4, 13:46 5
        
        My link is to WaPo :) -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 13:48 4
