I still have a job. I survived layoffs… for now. My workload has increased, but all is well, and I’m thankful for that.

Hoping for the best for you. Take care!

This?

I’m liking it if so. Nothing like the metal I grew up with.

Thank you for that

What trips me out about this song is that it’s something I liked a while back and added to a youtube list (apparently).

The thing I don’t like about youtube lists is that if a song gets deleted, it only ever shows up as a deleted song in your list. There’s no information about what that song was, who sang it, etc.

For that reason, I stopped using lists in youtube. Instead, If I like the song I will bookmark it. Even if it got deleted, the bookmark has enough information to find the song again (band name, title, etc).

I thought I stopped using those lists years ago, but I was checking them recently and found this song that was posted 7 months ago. Weird. I must have added it to one of my lists and then completely forgot about it.

Anyway. This song is awesome, and that perm…

Did they completely blow him off or something? Hard to know what’s really going on in a still image. That image does make me feel a little sad though.

No doubt. It’s one of the physical albums I wish I still owned, but don’t unfortunately

GWAR!!! Thank you for that.

She was amazing, rest in peace Sinead!

I second that

Another one close to home? Dang that was two in one night 😂

I grew up poor(ish), have been close to homelessness in my life more than once. So I’m not stranger to going without. Fortunately for me I can afford price hikes like this without even taking notice. I feel I am privileged. It doesn’t make me any less angry though. I don’t mind the price hikes on services due to inflation, but those same companies will lay you off and refuse pay raises. Last company I worked for told me I was lucky to get anything at all. But they increased their prices, didn’t suffer a single loss, and they still used it as an excuse to fuck their employees, and their customers. At the end of the day they made more because of it, not less. I don’t care about pay raises for myself, but the people under me absolutely deserve more.

Agreed.

They’ll keep jacking up their prices, because of inflation, but they won’t pay their employees to match, nobody will. They’ll make more, we’ll make less, and we’ll pay more for services we use, further increasing their profits.

No doubt. What gets me is something another person pointed out. You can get almost any premium streaming service for around that price that offers a lot more content than a single music streaming service.

They’ll probably be the next to jack up their prices though.

I pay a lot for youtube ad free, but at least I get more than just music with that. For a little more than what I’m paying for that you could subscribe to more than a few movie streaming services.

I’m paying $20/month for Disney+/Hulu/ESPN ad free for my entire family. I’m paying about that for youtube family plan.

My yearly wage increase sure as shit isn’t coming close to matching inflation, but that won’t stop companies from extracting more and more money from me while paying their employees less because “the state of the economy”… And then they make as much or more while we make less, and pay more.

Oof, figures. I guess everybody is going to jump on this train. Like they have the mentality of my HS teachers… It’s not that much… Sure 8 other teachers also assigned me “not that much”, and now it’s very much much. A double positively you’re getting fucked.

Oh, you are the best! I’m thankful to that Bee (Berson? What did we decide again?) for showing you them because they’re new to me too. Not sure how they slipped under my radar. Thanks again!

Oh that’s great! Thank you! I was struggling to find something new that hit the spot. Appreciate it!

Musical comedy club?? That sounds awesome!

I’m going to have to check out more of his stuff. I thought he’d basically be like a one hit wonder with the whole chap hop fad coming and going so fast.

Oh nice, will have to check that one out. I still have almost all of my KMFDM cd’s from the '90s still. I can’t imagine them without En Esch, but will give it a try!
