Oh, I know I wasnât, but I may have inadvertently started it by muckinâ about and changing mine so frequently, and Iâm still pleased that @habib decided to use one I made. Probably the deserves inspirational credit.
I like it, too. It takes me back to Northern Exposure (it was on the first soundtrack album). I hadnât ever listed to it back-to-back with âThe Changelingâ before, and the Doors tune sounds like a slightly up-tempo version of âHip Hug-Herâ in the beginning (to my ear, anyway).
Seems almost nostalgic at this point, especially when I have more QR codes on deck.
@politerpeep : Shouldnât you be more careful about hurting peopleâs feelings? Youâre awfully judgmental.
@peepeep: I donât think so, no. I feel like weâre falling into a digital Vertigo and as we spin down wildly weâll all be discrete. So cold and lonely.
So you WERE deliberately baiting me!
I was actually just busy. Thusdays I usually spend most of the day with my toddlers since their daycare canât watch them. Then in the evening I was still busy because now that I hired someone to help take over some of my busy work I had spare time to do a bunch of things on my to-do listâŠincluding automate the cat water (yeah, now I finally have cat water that automatically keeps their water dish at a specific level so I donât have to manually do it all the time) and do some overdue deep cleaning.
Weirdly, what you meant by this didnât strike me until just a moment ago. I see what you mean about the red one thatâs mostly transparent. I like the way that one looks on the main page in dark mode, too.
Itâs just regular olâ #FFFF00 yellow. I asked Discourse to make it for me, and then I made the âCâ transparent. I figure if Dave can go on about his âDâ, thenâŠ.
Besides, I thought itâd be best to put some figurative distance between these:
At least one might be tangentially art related.
Not with that attitude!
Thatâs about what I expected. I didnât think it would be to your liking, and I donât blame you. Itâs just what happened to pop into my head at the time. Iâd forgotten about their collaboration with Dusty Springfield. I like her cover of âSpookyâ. Maybe thatâll be something of a palate cleanser.
I think I wouldnât change âgirlâ to âboy.â âSpooky little boyâ sounds like a little kid, whereas âgirlâ (like âmy girlâ) is no more confused with âlittle girlâ than âbabyâ is with .
I get ya. Seems like a reasonable artistic choice to me, and I donât mind it, though Iâm aware of how some things can hit the in an odd way that can take a person out of a song for a moment. It makes me think of one time when I saw some dude performing on the Carson-era Tonight Show and didnât change a word when I mightâve expected it. In my memory, he was singing âLover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)â (or it mightâve been some other tune I associate with Billie Holiday), and just sang it as-is, and it was a really lovely performance.
Sorry, being born and raised in Europe (emigrated to Canada in my early 20âs) have no idea who Dusty Springfield is. I am a Zeppelin, Purple, Floyd, Queen, Status Quo, Stones⊠child.
âŠand Iâm trying to figure out if youâre jokingâŠ.

@peepeep, I donât think Iâd heard the source song before. Itâs aâight, but something earlier reminded me of a favorite old cassette, so I looked up a track list and found a YouTube playlist that looks like it at least approximates the album.
That third one looks even creepier when embiggened.
Great! Hereâs a palate cleanser from another English band:
I tend to misremember that song as being featured in Bunny Lake Is Missing (it seems to fit with the theme in some ways), but I think itâs my brain reaching for and failing to grasp âJust Out of Reachâ.
deserves inspirational credit.
