huh I’ve never heard the originals, didn’t realize they were 1:1. I think Kurt’s voice suits them perfectly but yeah agreed that the best covers are transformative, as you can see clearly if you wanna go look at my main comment on here haha

I love Weezer’s Africa just because it’s so fucking funny that they did that but yeah, it doesn’t recontextualize anything or even sound like Weezer. would be a lot cooler if it did

Against All Odds by The Postal Service

my mind was blown when I learned that was Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie on vocals

Happy Together by Slothrust

this live version is especially fantastic, from an album of covers by them, I think the Baby One More Time cover is more popular but I prefer the recontextualization of this one

Changes by Charles Bradley

ridiculously emotional, can really feel his pain in it. I would never have thought this was a Black Sabbath cover had it not been mentioned at the top of the video

I Will Survive by Cake

no notes. perfect cover.

Billie Jean by The Civil Wars

never would have thought this would work as a duet but it’s perfect, 10/10

Someday I Suppose by Drug Church

Boston.

I love a good cover, the best covers recontextualize the meaning of the song imo

also Jesus doesn’t want me for a Sunbeam which came from unplugged too.

some of my favorite covers nirvana did though were not off unplugged, Love Buzz, Molly’s Lips, And I Love Her

yeah I love that Dylan said he felt like he was covering jimi when he played it.

I’m not sure I’d agree that it’s jimis song though considering he never played it out, just made the studio cover for Are You Experienced

could you share a picture?

do you know what kind of mischief?

“hey man, am I driving ok?”

“I think we’re parked, man”

your whining made me whinge

you take that back!

Bliss is beautiful >:c

if american: calling ACAB anything other than an extremely rational response to modern slavery is fucking absurd.

otherwise: ok yeah your cops are almost definitely better than American cops but I’m not convinced cops anywhere are a net positive to society other than maybe Scandinavian countries where the main form of punishment is legitimately rehabilitation focused

very much mentally.

there are many studies linking physical fitness/exercise and improved mental health.

that being said I cannot bring myself to do anything past walking a lot at work lol

that’d be badass.

+1

yeah I started on .world because it was the biggest (.ml is 2nd I believe) but eventually grew tired of the neoliberalism especially surrounding Luigi, always really appreciated the vibes of the db0 punks so decided to join them.

OH I almost forgot, the final nail in the coffin was when I learned that while .world is federated with db0 they have [email protected] blocked. so as a .world user I was unable to access it at all.

I decided they have no right to make that decision on my behalf and made this db0 account that same day

lol missed the autocorrect backstab

good shout ty!

the second one (gym) is definitely healthy and the first one debatably is, depends on how you’re doing it.

it might be valuable to you to look into stoicism, that’s what the first one sounds like to me

yeah you said it better haha

my instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com, commonly referred to as db0) is an anarchist leftist comm.

it’s also where r/privacy r/piracy migrated to, you can find them (megathread and all) at [email protected]

lemmy.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmygrad.ml are often called the “tankie triad” because they’re full of tankies, people will often mistake you for a tankie just by the virtue of being on that instance.

as for other instances,

.world is the biggest and quite liberal/centrist/moderate with pretty heavy handed moderation.

lemmy.blahaj.zone is by trans people for trans people, I believe non-trans allies are allowed on it but if you’re not LGBT it’s probably not the best place for you.

pawb.social is furries

lemm.ee, lemmy.ca and sh.itjust.works I don’t know the politics of but I would assume leftist and I haven’t heard anything bad said about any of them, will leave anything past that to others.

this might be worth a post of its own if you’re looking for more info than that tbh

but yeah really you’re not gonna find right wing CHUDs or cp or gore or anything here there’s generally good enough content moderation to prevent that and really the only instance with crazy censorship is the one you picked lol

e: fuckin auto cucumber

that’s only a thing on .ml, the rest of lemmy agrees that censoring “bitching” is pretty silly

oh yeah I’m well aware, I have an anbernic SP and I just ordered a retroid flip 2!

fingers crossed it doesn’t get hit by the tariffs but they earned an ounce of trust in me from how they handled the mini screen issue.

that being said, it is only an ounce of trust. I know well enough to not be blindsided by them potentially dropping the ball forcing me to eat the cost.

here’s hoping I don’t have to though!!

the USA is the only country that I know of that requires such ridiculous measures to file your taxes tbh
