Album's pic even looks like ancient 90s cheesy pixel computer game design. Maybe it's reason the youtuber decided to 8-bit the album's music.

When people say "Thanks for having me" when answering interviewers' "Thanks for being here". It's standard etiquette reply - which ain't reason I dislike it - yet it simultaneously reads stupid & arrogant.

There was a good reason for being afraid of the nasty weather. It turned out okay where I was but about 70 km from there and at other places were very strong tornadoes - at least 18 people were killed.*
Of course the paper doesn’t protect against the virus . It was “panic buying” thinking that people wouldn’t be able to leave their homes for a long time. It was ridiculous how some people would buy as many paper products that they could get away with then try to sell on EBay, basically the Black Market. Thankfully some of them were arrested.
Well here you go again...I meant generally you Americans really each day check degrees, blizzard, count snow inches (really?) & just get sad about it (who knew it affects mood...). With respect (kinda) but i's difficult to fathom. There is cat page in FB doing weather report which should be instead sharing cat pics & cat news. It's really dull & bizarre that cat page (*cat* page) would tell about it.  People dislike snow in U.S. it looks like. Why? I really like it despite hating big time white color.
Yes, glad they been arrested, serves bastards right. police

You really read Stephen King? Didn't think you read frightful tales. Btw, "It" is best to see than read.

Wish to see "Casablanca", didn't like its youtube clips yet curious - being curious type - to see full flick. Seen it decade & half ago as teenager when checking TV channels, could catch few ending bits. Ingrid gets to see Humphrey, duet speaks, finish. Ingrid's Swedish accent is ear-candy paired with ear-candy honey/fairy/milk-maid voice. Curious if she read audiobooks, would be nice to hear tales narrated by her.

Say, what's with Americans fearing weather, saying it's bad weather, celebrating good weather? Read each day's forecast but don't panic (or be too joyful, accept it as usual type thing). Little bit icily coldness (vs. too high-strung) will help people if they put that attitude in brains.

Well can't you answer question about paper-collecting in U.S., Nola? Why paper? Again, in which way is it useful to sanitize hands against cv19? It ain't sanitizer right? Then why people fight about it in shops? It didn't get any bacteria-killing ingredients, did it?

Ha, I wouldn't like to live in state with terrible song written about it "Sweet Home Alabama". That band, song - cheesefest, hello.

Like "Yesterday" choice the best (Moody Blues, like Doors, isn't cool music by this listener's definition).

FB brought "Weight" international cover, diff. musicians in diff. places sing-play the Band's song featuring Robby Robertson, Ringo Starr. Sitar player's even joined. Cool collab, to the song's fans (link accessible):

Hello Nola, girl. In Russia, it's few weeks now since been given demands by government & everything to do masks. Tailor factories been  assigned with task. I gather by what you say you U.S. folk got this idea just now. Whilst we been doing new masks since way before it. Yep. Different fabrics, patterns, colors. Cool, ain't it? Several relatives do masks with sewing machines they bought - to their fam members & friends who can't/lazy/bored to do it (such as I, I hate doing it, ZERO talent & patience, can't sew, can't knit, hate any kinda house crafting & stuff like scrapbooking etc. Everything like it). I shall ask relative to give mask for free, that they don't sell it, I don't wish to pay towards such tiny thing as mask. I got medic masks (2 maybe?), I forced to give me spare masks of girls who I otherwise don't like. They gave. In times like this gotta be audacious that people start sharing their numerous supplies (yes, hoarding as you say). Btw, I don't get the paper stuff going in America - why people would be obsessed by it exclusively? It ain't antiseptic right? What's the deal with people being crazy about plain paper (or wait...does paper selling in U.S. contain sanitizing antibacterial ingredients?). I in fact asked it in FB but nobody explained it well, in details, they been cryptic & mysterious about it & didn't give *straight* answer to straight question. Thus it doesn't make sense still.
You know, I really praise you about planting things. Can't imagine doing it - it's too boring pastime, I ruin everything, I got the pot in house that grew garlic or similar. You'd think it's easy thing to pour water to it now & then but it's as if I never did it right & that little plant just expired, went fading, leaves drying. Idk how people even get things bloom & blossom, it's really titanic task as if it's for specially skilled dedicated people. Smb. said you must really wish to plant things. But, I didn't get such wish, inkling, desire, then it may be the reason. I got very few interests deliberately, I ain't the type who chases interests, hobbies, trendy crafting, frankly couldn't give care. It weirds me out when people crave to know everything in the world, to be able to do everything. I'd tell them why you're friggin' interested in everything, just quit it. I mean, it's bizarre, how about to just pay attention to few interests that interest them *especially*. I find it such big waste of time to be interested in lotsa lotsa things, different countries, cuisines, cultures. Logical question - "Why?". Just travel to places you REALLY wish to see, admire when seeing in documentaries, greeting cards, coffee table book's pics. Nobody'll see entire world anyway, let's get real here. It's impossible. Then quit collecting as trophies places you been & must be next. You'd think people would tire but they don't. Surreal. Ah well,  it ain't my problem. I'm real cheapskate,hate paying money to places that leave me indifferent at best. I don't care about France, Italy, Germany, 99% Asia, 99% Africa, 100% Australia, New Zealand, South America, Canada, what you got. They look dull. I like United States. Wish I live there, even in least fave states like Arkansas, New York, Washington D.C., Alabama (btw, famous song about it is dumb & snoozy), Connecticut, Hawaii, Tennessee (don't care about Nashville music scene), Texas, Pennsylvania (people crazy about it but, it didn't impress), New Jersey, 2 Virginias, 2 Dakotas, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa et al.  I'm sure if I been resident in any mentioned state, I'd get used to it fast (IF it ain't too hot there during summers, hate heat).
Ha, don't ask what for did I type lengthy reply with final bits being really different subjects than Nola's reply. Maybe due to being chatty by nature (& enjoying hearing keyboard typing distinct noise). I may or may not edit the less than relevant bits (don't quote the entire reply pls, respect this request). Well to get back to cv19, it looks like nobody got clue when it ends. I hear different timelines. Let's wish everybody's responsible towards wellfare instructions.

Hm. You'd think everybody staying in house does nothing but watch various stuff...But hey.

Seen "Sabrina" (1954) with fetching Audrey Hepburn & Humphrey Bogart. They look interestingly good together. Better than she with William Holden playing young son.  Nice film due to my fave girl Audrey but general preference towards 90s remake with Harrison Ford. 7.5/10.
61  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: So what did we all do today? on: April 04, 2020, 05:54:54 AM
What's so funny about that post?

You ignored when I took time to explain to you that feelsflow is WRONG, yet you liked his reply disregarding totally everything I stated despite the fact I'm the polls mod, I should know better than ff. That's what precisely I meant when said "I should know" but I been misread ofc again...

You sure? If I been respected I'd get LOTSA likes when I posted youtube link to Dennis-Kalinich song. Otherwise doesn't make WHOLE LOTTA sense when FDP's links get likes yet when I share them people (except said girl FDP) really scared to give likes. What's the damn difference who posts links? Link is link. Link is link. Link is link. Can repeat it if need be.
p.s. it sure's funny to be told "relax". Doesn't everybody relax during "stay in house" times...
*facepalm*

Clever decision. Everything must be cancelled to be safe.
63  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Kokomo: Robbie Robertson Went There First? on: April 04, 2020, 04:37:09 AM
Interesting re: thread subject. Figured BBs' mention is single.
64  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson’s Favourite Songs on Spotify on: April 04, 2020, 04:30:44 AM
‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ – Bob Dylan
Hmmm. Brian doesn't prefer the Byrds' version? If accurate, that's kinda interesting.
Byrds did it in dorky way. Tongue Then again, song's melody is outright dull, it would be terrible by anybody.
65  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: So what did we all do today? on: April 04, 2020, 02:33:40 AM
jk - it would be a lot nicer if you didn't blindly agree (read  - like) what will/feelsflow stated at the other place (let's call it "the other place" for fairness' sake as is trend for people dubbing SS that way). I explained as politely as it can get everything I been observing during polls. I been thru it year.

FDP posted nearly to every song the youtube link, including to LEAST popular songs. & there's STILL been less votes. She didn't help AT ALL. Or there's less votes in weekends or some weekdays & any other reason. People get busy - takes place now & then.

To suggest that people vote less coz there's no link is, to put mildly, plain nonsense. Can't they just quickly type song title that's being discussed into youtube? Easy thing to do. Like, type "hard times" & it's there in few seconds. Internet is super-fast everywhere (even here at times). In this day & age. Besides, Beach Boys isn't the kinda obscure niche band whose entire catalog isn't posted waaay back to youtube. Definitely *studio* album tracks found place in youtube. Not sure where feelsflow got his stats about people not knowing songs/never hearing songs. Active posters should know every BBs song by now.

Thus, stats taken out of thin air or my real experience as polls mod? What's plausible? Again, I was & am very polite, explain things as they been. But, it's been ignored & instead feelsflow will get myriad of likes. Surreal. Disbelief & skepsis really looks like disrespect towards sth. I say. When I'm being blunt - people don't like it. Politely explain things in detail, take time to do it? They plain ignore it. Idk in which way to even speak up mind to get respectful attitude (without disbelief & skepsis).
Next time I shan't explain/reply anything to you. It's best to pay attn to people who at least believe me, accept things I say without arguing. I mean, why argue against sth. you (feelsflow) don't know? I been in it (polling) whole year, I'm precisely aware what I talk about.
Thanks.

Page site brings zero. Playlist brings "Spotify is currently not available in your country." Can you paste the list here? Thanks in advance.

It's fine. Anyhoo, Maureen is great lady, pretty & talented musician. I'd like to hear what she's up to right now. Does she play in house & share beauty with fans?
68  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Just for fun, do you know where it from on: March 31, 2020, 04:18:15 AM
Tbf, book's dull. Shoulda been different title than weird "Glimpses".

Did you enjoy film recommended, Nola? Share review. police

Seen dumb film with tools as main characters (except my fave dear Zohra Lampert) - "Splendour In The Grass". Features Natalie Wood & Warren Beatty (I knew name but didn't see what he looks like - ugly guy). High school pair they play is absolutely bonkers, laughably extreme in expressing their romantic/thrilled feelings. Their parents/ guy's rebel sister don't help their daughter/son/brother, giving stupid advices. Useless film viewing. 0/10.

Next negative (savage?) review - "It, Chapter 2". Really *few* good scenes & computer graphics. Everything else is plain bad. Granted, it's better than "It" with kids, thousand times, but there's waaay too many fillers which got the viewing experience dull. Jessica Chastain is amazing & the guy who played Eddie really did well, good casting choices with 2. Everybody else average at best. But, puking detailed scenes full screen - it began film badly. Being emetophobe it's been challenge to sit thru the scenes that looked endless. Why there's films that insist to display it? Wish they'd re-written scripts & added clown's scare tricks instead.
73  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: What are you watching now?/Favourite Movie of the Moment on: March 22, 2020, 10:51:47 AM
Hey Nola girl,

You tend to be big Peter O'Toole fan, enjoy recommendation - 1966 film "How To Steal A Million". With Audrey. 3D & Eli Wallach who is amusing in good way. Film = pure entertainment. Fitting to see in U.S. times right now, i.e. distancing et al. Check it.
74  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: So what did we all do today? on: March 13, 2020, 07:59:11 PM
Do you move to sister you tell about? She really enjoys being with cats. Good sister choice to live with.  3D

I did investigation thru google about it. I figured "coronavirus" & "covid-19" = 2 entirely different issues but, it's been incorrect thing to think. What did I deduce? That, it's the best decision to shut down popular places & cancel flights/travels. Many at FB got disappointed who wished to travel, bought tickets but as I see it, they're being selfish. They can travel anytime in future, it can wait, what's the rush. This is big deal but they take it lightly. Which isn't right. Humans really amaze at times. What with preaching to be kind, thoughtful towards the other people yet they get mad about *their* planned travels being cancelled.
It being said, why everybody repeats at FB/the Internet banal rule to wash hands? Didn't anybody wash hands before it? Isn't it what people been taught since kiddy times?
75  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: So what did we all do today? on: March 13, 2020, 09:37:47 AM
Everybody at FB talks about "coronavirus", "covid-19". Puzzled what they mean but reads like it's really serious issue recently.
