BestOfLemmy

I enjoyed the exchange of ideas here and the way things were described and debated. Made me happy to be on Lemmy.

I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

Not OC: Just found this on my old hard drive while grabbing some other stuff.

A promise he needs to keep.

Two words that rhyme with purple. Click to find out.

The subgenre is called "bebop." Get some Charlie Parker albums. He recorded some great songs with Dizzy Gillespie. Jet is talking to Spike about talking to Charlie Parker in a dream in the casino episode, iirc. The style of music is fast tempo, quick key changes, novel chord progressions, and virtuoso performers making new music out of standards. It's analogous to the storytelling in the manga, and to the characters themselves. Each is supremely competent, acting on their own, but complementing and supporting the others to make something extraordinary. The whole soundtrack is a wide range of genres, and it was all written and performed by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, which is especially impressive because of the sheer variety of styles.

Tank! is more driving trumpets and melodic than classic bebop, so you might also check out some Wynton Marsalis. He played what is called "neo-bop" which was a popular revival of bebop in the 1980s.

Jazz aficionados would probably classify Tank! as "hard-bop" of which there are many great albums and musicians. John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was one of my favorite albums growing up, but that was the tail end of his hard-bop phase. I would probably suggest Art Blakely and the Jazz Messengers album "Hard Bop" as the quintessential hard-bop album.

Honestly probably the best written post I've seen on Lemmy.

This meme gave me a laugh. Deserves a BestOf flag :-)

Hey everyone, as you all have noticed, I've slowed down on posting topics here.

My main problem is that my main search tool (search-lemmy.com) has seemingly disappeared, so I don't really know how to search Lemmy for good posts.

Lemmy's subscribed / all feeds leave much to be desired as well. So I don't think I've been finding as many posts deserving of a topic here from just the #1 votes or whatever.

Still, maybe we can discuss how we plan to find good posts and bring them to discussion here. Does anyone have good research methodologies they'd like to share with the peanut gallery?

A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with 'English as a second language' students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a 'horse bath' in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he'd misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.

It feels a little wrong to link to my own post here, but it's the commenters that made this thread great - not me.

There are so many pictures. It made my morning scrolling through them all. Enjoy.

Clean as a whistle

Nice stick of Lemmy.

Just a simple meme-post that I think garnered good discussion this past week!
