I keep getting variations of this sponsored ad and I just find it bizarre every time. I like that kind of music but I don’t think many people look like that when they’re listening to it!

I would imagine it would be pushing highbrow literature and arty foreign films at me. If were on it. Which I’m not. And classical music.

Nah it would be toilets and fructose.

Now is the metal a cover for the ballet, or the ballet a cover for the metal?

(Ballet dancers are way, way harder than any black metal band member)

Yeah I’m forever getting that one. Never clicked on it.

I wonder if anyone’s done a metal ballet.

A little while ago I was looking after my mum’s cat while she was away. The cat loves tv shows with music and dancing and isn’t bothered by things like gunshots or dogs on shows, and I was watching this film about the first night of the Rite of Spring with her sat on my lap. As soon as the music started up, she sat bolt upright, jumped on the floor with this look of “This can’t be- I can’t take this” and hid in the kitchen until the film was over. She must have a pre-modern mind.

Soon afterwards they had this installation thing in the toilets of the Festival Hall which was a recording of someone whistling the music. Every time I went in there I had to try hard not to laugh. It would have looked especially stupid if anyone had asked me why and all I could say is “the cat’s expression”

mines pretty spot on apart from video games and The Courteeners!

Seems someone has:

Resident Advisor and ten different iterations of Call of Duty for me. FPSs and FIFA are pretty much the only games I don’t like.

Hobbies and activities is pretty funny

Can’t exactly say how inaccurate that is. I like a band called Cove and there’s a friend’s band called ‘Fake Teak’ which might explain those two? Valve due to computer games?

However, for a vegetarian this is…not right:

I think the term ‘beef’ has been misinterpreted. Not sure who the fuck eats oil tankers?

Surely you make an exception for those delicious corned beef and papaya sandwiches?

#45

I’m honestly more concerned that it seems to think I only drink stout.

#46

It’s probably mortifying.

Maybe a doom metal ballet would go down well with dancers? Nice and restful compared to most shows, don’t have to move too much.

Metal karaoke is widespread in Finland, home of metal as the default music genre.

facebook thinks i like getting notifications all the fucking time even about things i’ve unfollowed or said i want to hear less about. (didn’t read thread, probably been covered)

  1. Makes people so terrified of its dissonance they tear the theatre up
  2. Makes my mum’s cat hide in fear
  3. Russian

Imagine a recording of a man whistling this playing in the toilets at the Royal Festival Hall on a loop for months.

#53

No but it’s pretty odd the first time you hear it and you’re not expecting it.
