Sigiendo desde aqui 5 of 5: The hypothetical equivalent to a journal from the old journal section - 7 Cups Forum
It is a weird thing when something goes bunk on my 'Archiver0' account, wherein I can access the listener account I tried making once which I thought long deleted but not the member account which I've been using for a while now but can enter through this rrreally old account, reactivate and continue my 7cups presence from here.
=~= All this b/c of how iffy the account deletion processes are and how this site seems to have an issue if you attach a previously used email to a new identity on here ?.
Rick Beato might come off to me as something of a griper. A proficient, musically professional griper but a griper nethertheless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0ycwnJArHQ&pp=ygUgcmljayBiZWF0byB3aHkgZGlkIHJvY2sgZGVjbGluZSA%3D
In the video wherst he brought up what he thinks caused the decline of rock music after the turn of the century he explains mainly pinpoints it to how nu metal was the first drastically less blues based rock genre (even though the signs were already beginning to show with grunge). I can see where he's coming from since lyrically it takes a fair amount of methods from hip-hop and instrumentally I suppose it's closer to punk rock more so than it's claims to heavy metal..
I remember him bringing up how shifts in pop,hip-hop, some American music copyright law stuff in the 90's were also factor but the mention of the MTV unplugged events being a part of it..`_` =_= I mean given how the events were highlighting the most popular of the then contemporary groups to hypothetically perform really stripped down and near acapella (which might well make you do paradigm shifts for what you do lyrically once your that popular)..I can see where he might've come from w/that..
Korn unplugged
My fascination with Jonathan Davis which offshoot w/my fascination with Anne Rice after finally watching 'Queen of the damned' and it's earnest mediocrity after years of memories of the enticing trailers 11 yr old me saw on that one channel that always looped through pay-per-view content commercials was fruitful in one sense b/c of what learning about Davis's multi-star invoking soundtrack involvement panned out to

non-sequitur: as embarassing as it might be to say..Linkin Park's late Chester Bennington and Coldplay's Chris Martin are to the two vocalists I prob. have the longest familiarity with. Really think that Rooster teeth/'Death battle's' Brandon Yates takes after Chester in some of his less power metal-y outputs with his yelling (exs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxTG0dLcFwQ&pp=ygUZZGVhdGggYmF0dGxlIHJldmVyc2Ugcm9zZQ%3D%3D , "Hedge of Tomorrow" by @BrandonYates alt vocal clip for @deathbattle - YouTube )
I'd like to admit now how I've got limits as to how much loud limits I can listen to not only b/c it can exhaust me into feeling ennui maybe promptly but b/c of my somewhat tinnitus so it makes dipping my toes into rock via the unplugged events all that more appealing to me
Also why I loovve lullaby covers of adult age music artists
ex. Tender - Lullaby Renditions of Blur - Rockabye Baby! - YouTube
easier on my ringing ears
Pearl Jam..
'_' *sigh* ._. this is where I can see ppl getting upset or disappointed by me..
>_< ^~^ *sigh*...I didn't really like it too much..it'd be too mean-spirited to call it a waste of time but I was trying to enjoy it but didn't really see the appeal of that name I hear get thrown around somewhat.
Them plus Tool,Alice in chains and Nirvana, I get it, something like 'the big 4' of grunge that important faction within 'alt-rock' when rock was trying to find it's way after the glam and hair metal showboating of the 80's. Alt-rock which led to the 00's flavours of pop rock like Creed, Breaking Benjamin and after The killers, Panic at the disco, Bullet for my valentine, My chemical romance, Evanescence and the those overlaps btw alt- or pop rock and emo which I'm remorse to say I can't name any of, but it remains memorable to me in terms of what I saw in high school
...cue the late 00's+, music downloading being an industry m.o. everyone needs to chew on, the questionable mellowness and/or melancholy of the indie stuff for which you raise an eyebrow thinking "is this truly them doing their best ?, or are they just lazy and/or low on ideas ?,this is what they're doing in the face of so much apparent rip-offs from music downloading models ?' yadda, yadda, etc,etc
This might d--n well be more deserving of explanation with little charts by someone more knowledgable than I ..
Pearl Jam..
'_' *sigh* ._.
>_< ^~^ *sigh*...I didn't like it too much. I tried too, I really did. The 'Keep on rocking in the free world' finale was fine (https://youtu.be/VmeZ3kOgIOE?t=2724 )even if mainly b/c it reminded me of one of Nardwaur's slogans but I kind of sympathize with this Family guy take (Family Guy 90s Singers. - YouTube)
=_= don't pretend like hip-hop after Drake, after 'mumblecore' doesn't do something else just as low effort and tries to get away with it via uninspired and bombastic presentation
that jokey observation on 'making every vowel into an a' and saying it through a moan-y, dragged out groan like yell..I hear it in Alanis Morissette and Shakira
I would like to say how much of an influence moan-y, dragged out groan like yell is for me even if I won't try to contrive out an 'a' sound..I felt myself opting for that approach during karaoke of 'Dreaming Californication'. You might say it was b/c of the strain getting to someone as unskilled as me getting to me but it truly is a feature I associate with English language music which isn't hip-hop or too on-the-nose pop like
___
Second behind in my mind, is the dragging yelling of the late Bennington like in this contribution into Aaliyah's last movie
Queen Of The Damned - Chester Bennington - System - 2002 - Lyric Video - YouTube ..Scream like Chester Bennington from Linkin Park - YouTube <-- '_' d this is what I hear in what Brandon Yates does for a fair amount of 'Death battle' songs
It's astounding how the non-American production which the 'Jet set radio's soundtrack still holds up. What little I can say with more surety about my opinions on hip-hop.
Alanis Morissette unplugged was barely better than the Pearl Jam unplugged thing to me. '_' `_` Again it bothers me to say it in that, I should like them b/c they were so significant if not innovative during their novel prime but it's none too outstanding to me.
I'm realizing now that the songs I liked which they did near the end of both those events were covers ('Keep on rocking in the free world' is a Neil Young song which Pearl jam covered and 'Kings of pain' was originally 'The police' but I enjoyed Morissette's cover as I could see it as a slow dance song)
I knew here initially in the barely comprehensible accent and voice of the music video for 'Suerte' ('Luck') or 'Whenever, wherever' as Anglophonics might know it better as* when she entered that market w/'Laundry service' but the MTV unplugged event for her is something special to me, like it was a final capstone of what she accumulated solely while performing in Spanish before trying her hand in English language stuff (my opinion on that is a blurb for another day)..so hearing her signature moan-y, dragged out groan like yell from when she still only did stuff in Spanish is going to stick out to me and take on a different significance since (I don't know how intentional this was of her all those years ago now etc) but in my mind it's not all too outlandish a vocal texture b/c of that..Morrissette is the closest there is among English language female performers to do something akin to that
* MadTV was too mean Mad TV - Shakira (Whenever Wherever Parody) - YouTube
but Grande was more fair ^_^ and had the right idea https://youtube.com/shorts/l56ZPpt6WdI?feature=share
Explaining this take to someone in person would mean a lot to me.

I'm very glad that I'm old enough now that I don't have to feel ashamed or pressured to be into hip-hop like how I was btw my pre-teen years until around the time of me entering postsecondary..and ppl who still clamor about the musical supremacy of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac are about as antiquated as clamoring about the golden space of the Beatles during the 90's b/c like it or not, the triple decade+ chronological gap is there
Morissette's unplugged is what I'm working on and tbh .. >~< *sigh* =~= ..again, I'm feeling that I'll run into the same problem of 'putting effort into liking someone who isn't too striking to me' like with Pearl jam. The ironic problem which comes when you see back into the chronological distance at someone who was apparently innovative and novel for something you now see as banal and common.
I know how significant Nickelodeon was to influencing Western animation after the 90's and I also agree that old pre-Butch Hartman and CGI reliant fare of the Klasky-Csupo character designs were difficult to not see as homely* even if the storylines and writing for a fair amount of those shows struck chords in ppls memories and hearts.
As hokey an attempt as it was to use the intro, I still like the warmth** from this old music video for the first 'Rugrats movie' ( Mya Ft. Blackstreet, Mase, & Blinky Blink- Take Me There [Official Vid+Lyrics] - YouTube ). `_` I'd fancy some well done acoustic covers of that oldie as I would of the ending song for the special which would lead to the 'All grown up' spin-off ( Tommy and Angelica Sing with Emica | Rugrats: All Growed Up Special | NickRewind - YouTube , Rugrats - All Growed Up! “Emica’s Song” (Instrumental) - YouTube
* =_= =u= maybe ppl who got to liking One piece might struggle less with overcoming that
**The borderline guarantee of warmth in animation about infants
If I feel bad about being fond of acoustic covers it's (a) the reminder of a specific coworker,(b) my music ignorance and how I don't like how cramped my hands feel in contrast to something more keyboard like and (c) =_= `_` I feel that we're in for a new instrument fixation sooner or later. The piano, the guitar and the saxophone..I'm not saying or seeing the guitar becoming as passe as say the saxophone anytime soon but still..the amount of time we've stuck with it ..I don't really think it's all digital and electronic based production
Gorillaz-->Gorillaz lore-->Damon Albarn-->Albarn acoustic takes, Blur--> Oasis unplugged/other side of 90's Britpop feud eventually ?*

There. Another account of my 'track to..' thought process before the excitement and enthusiasm might make me gorge too much on info to share it all that well, afterwards.
Don't know if the opportunity for a 'Blur unplugged' event is long gone but we've got this as far as Gorillaz goes Gorillaz - Acoustic Live at KROQ HD Radio Sound Space - YouTube and I can understand never really going beyond that since Gorillaz is mainly Albarn's 'pet project' and a very multi-star collaborative one at that
Those of us who've dreamt of doing this to certain teachers or workplace higher-ups

A near future goal ?,
look back to The hypothetical equivalent to a journal from the old journal section - 7 Cups Forum respond to loose ends left there and then somehow close up on this particular journal with it's mouthful of a title. I've got an idea for the title of the next one.
For the first time in however long, hic-ups were briefly present.
self-punishing myself with analyzing of grisly scenes from media after pornography use even briefly is something I do ._.
*sigh* does it still count ?..exhaustion in under several minutes = several days of paranoia and overexertion to compensate for the deed ?
I did wake up from something of a bad dream. You have three days of fun or at meaningful activity and arrive late pushing yourself to resentfully search for holistic health appointment times and the drag of such chores makes porn romps more appealing since you tell yourself you can control yourself since it's more about altering your sensation than 'being in the mood for it from the start'.
I remember when I was younger browsing this site occasionely--
ComicBookReligion.com: Comic Book Religion Database (religion of super-heroes)
funny, how appealing it is for the novelty of how dated the web design is.

Spanish covers of the old FMA outro 'Kesenai Tsumi' are cool.
The chest press is murderous for me
My mother was gracious enough to call me to ask if I'd like a burrito brought to me and I declined and asked it to be stored since I ordinarily visit on Mondays anyhow.
The Spotify choices of this person ? https://open.spotify.com/user/r4u9e3scsxvi1ycj7gmwfh5ua plus 'Korn unplugged' again ?
