Took me a couple seconds, worth it.
Unironically, Chris Rock said exactly this in his 1999 comedy special "Bigger and Blacker".
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath - Massive Attack - Teardrop
Wanna be loved
Not for who you think I am
Nor what you want me to be
Could you love me for me?
Real love, with no strings attached
I wanna give you me heart
Don't want to take it back
And this is my chat (cho!) - Buju Banton - Wanna Be Loved
When I was working at record stores, this was, unironically, the correct answer. You can't just like one genre and work at a record store; you have to be able to intelligently discuss blues, jazz, electronic, noise, punk, metal, pop, rock, and of good sampling of sub-genres as well in order to help customers not only find what they're looking for but turn them on to other bands they might like. So when people asked "so, what kind of music do you like?" the answer was "oh, I like good music."
Mostly drone, new age revival, but also super enjoying this cover of War Pigs by alt country band Freakwater.
Ironically, same with Japanese. They have an entire alphabet dedicated to foreign words, Katakana. You want a hamburger and a beer? That's a "ハンバーガーとビール" (Hanbāgā to Biru). Coffee from Starbucks on your way to work? That's a "ドライブスルーコーヒー" (Doraibusurūkohi - a drive-thru coffee). Better fried chicken than anyone has a right to can be found at the "コンビニ" (Konbini - aka the convenience store). Learning Japanese it's rife with these borrowed words. Half the time it's "you're fucking kidding." The other half the time it's learning some insane formalism that makes saying "thank you" take five minutes.
Xillennial is the word you're looking for. Do you still remember how to write a ppp script?
If you were alive when the video for this song came out, you can actually smell it.
Yep. If you feel like this no matter how many hours of sleep you're getting, you should have a sleep study done. Apnea can kill you, no shit.
That's the one!
