“I hate this game, I have to keep playing it." My son, talking about #EldenRing, which I think is how everyone thinks about #souls and #soulslike games.
I could 1000% get my daughter to commit whatever war crimes you want just by playing Taylor Swift in the background.
Me: "do the dishes"
Her: "gfy old man"
Me: *waits 20 minutes*, puts Taylor Swift on
Her: *washing dishes* "did you hear about how Taylor..."
@7bbb8ff4 Thanks! I haven't dropped my iPad on my face yet (my phone, though...) but I am extremely lazy and may or may not have a problem of having my iPad in bed with something playing and trying to juggle my phone. Super, super serious problem.
Lots of people would go back in time and kill baby Hitler or buy Apple stock or something, probably just me that goes back to tell myself to throw away the Allen wrenches that come with ikea furniture.
@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b And we can pull that thread a little more. Tom Morello, probably one of the best/most influential guitar players in the last 3 decades, would also go on and form another supergroup with members of Cypress Hill and Public Enemy. They sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2220MdXVPGw
@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b Anyway, fun topic. If we turned this into a coolest collabs thread, holy shit I'd be here all night. Pick basically any name in this thread, and they've worked with someone amazing that you didn't expect. anyway, go listen to @2fe92171, my favorite show about buying a refrigerator and learning if we can even do a vacation (I told you I was bad at pitching this.)

@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b But anyway, back to our topic at hand. Dave Grohl is in Josh Homme's band. Did they collaborate further? Oh, that's right, the literal answer I thought of when this topic came up. Josh played guitar and did vocals in a band with Dave on drums. Completing the three-piece - John Paul Jones from a little band no one's ever heard of called Led Zeppelin. They form Them Crooked Vultures, and release one album.
@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b Eagle-eyed watchers may notice that in Song for the Dead, there is a familiar drummer Dave Grohl, from tiny bands like Nirvana or the Foo Fighters. That's it's own thread which we're going to come back to in a second, but you might also want to check out The Desert Sessions, which is just Josh Homme from Queens asking everyone cool if they want to jam, and everyone cool being like "yeah." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Desert_Sessions

@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b Did someone say Screaming Trees? Well, buckaroo, that's fronted by the late, great Mark Lanegan, who was also in Mad Season. You could probably create your own game of 6 degrees of Mark Lanegan, but in this case it's going to take us a little afield of grunge and to Queens of the Stone Age.
@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b **side note, how in the year 2023 is markdown not supported literally everywhere? oh well, those links will still click and those that know, know.

@2fe92171@cfcf7cd7@a6ff0b2b So my first thought when this topic came up was grunge in the 90's. There are like 6 grunge bands that everyone knows, and I'm reasonably confident they all lived in the same building and would just walk into any apartment randomly, madlib out a band name, and then produce a cultural touchstone of a record for us born in the early 80's. Starting off with Temple of the Dog.
alright, inspired by this week's @2fe92171 (no idea how to pitch this show, but you should listen) featuring hosts @cfcf7cd7 and @a6ff0b2b a list of supergroups that sprung to mind. And, because I am a person on the internet that might just be a simulation just for you dear reader, I'm even going to throw in some links to songs you might know by them. and though I'm loath to say it, feel free to boost and add your own. 🧵

@21f06d90 Although text is usually better for me, I don't mind video. The problem is the video is usually intro -> rambling description of problem -> 7000 things you might have already tried -> ad break -> now to fix the problem (painstakingly slow in the middle third of the video) -> more nonsense...
