The more challenging question is what was the *second* video ever played?

Easily the best part of the internet age—it says it's for everyone, but Flex.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I've been seeing more and more of "this [album] turns [year] today" pieces of late. Is it more a case of an easy way to generate content or the sense that we're regarding music/culture in the past tense now? I assume it's more the former, but can't dismiss the latter.

I feel like that should be reserved for the truly best of the best, but only for milestone anniversaries.

I tried listening to Preservation by the Kinks yesterday. I try every few years, hoping it finally clicks. Like most Ray Davies projects, there are moments where you think maybe, but Preservation is dull and pretty much impossible to listen to all the way through.

It's just clickbait nonsense. "Thing from your adolescence is old now. You are old now."

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Just for conversation's sake—because I largely agree with you here—there is a presumption that there's an audience for this, that wants to relive the past in this way. Is the present/future stagnant enough that someone in their 20s wants to celebrate something from their adolescence? We all go into consolidation mode as we get older when it comes to culture, but it's unsettling if "older" is getting younger and younger.Flex wrote: ↑26 Mar 2024, 9:15amIt's just clickbait nonsense.
